In the last nine years, the economy has gone from mighty juggernaut to slightly healthier than a veal calf. We thought the World was coming to an end (Y2K) and we watched Jay-Z and Brett Favre retire and come back. Some of us even watched two American League players become arguably the greatest fielders at their respective positions in more than a generation.

Oh, old man Favre, what has become of you? Remember when you were the good ole’ boy, who would play the game for free out of pure love? Remember when John Madden would slobber all over you like a St. Bernard whenever you completed a pass to Donald Driver despite double coverage? Remember how you cried when you talked about walking away from football to ride off into the Mississippi sunset aboard your John Deere?

Well, those days seem like a lifetime ago. Because now we know that you’re contemplating your third team in as many years, John Madden has retired and I’m sick and tired of seeing you blubber like a baby on national television. No, old man Favre, now we know that you are a vindictive, egomaniacal athlete just like everybody else. You used to be on the opposite end of the spectrum from guys like Terrell Owens and Alex Rodriguez. And now? T.O. should be offering you PR tips. (more…)
