Farve’s Coming Back!

Posted: 2/3/2007 1

As a Green Bay Packer Fan, I’m very happy that Brett Favre is coming back for a seventeenth season. Watching him, it’s apparent that he’s still among the best quarterbacks in the league, even though his stats say otherwise.

The last couple of years, other than Donald Driver, he’s had young, inexperienced receivers around him. Other teams have doubled up on Driver, forcing him to throw to receivers with whom he’s been less than familiar. And Favre’s m.o. has been to make the play, win the game, not protect his stats— especially when behind.

So, when I read garbage like this, I get a little miffed. Now, I could probably excuse Michael Ventre, who’s from Los Angeles, as he doesn’t have a professional football team nearby, but for the last four-five years he’s been complaining that Favre’s been hanging on too long.

Michael, give it up. I know that being in Los Angeles, you aren’t that familiar with professional football as those of us here in Chicago and other points east, so you might want to stick with sports with which you might be better acquainted, like model watching, reality show auditioning, or rumpled living.
