MONDAY AFTERNOON REALITY CHECK


for anyone who still gives a damn about brett favre.

After a weekend in which I had to endure constant headlines and updates and breaking reports about his status (Roger Goodell will issue a proclamation on Monday, after a vigil and a prayer service!), the Facebook taunts of a Vikings fan who seems to think that both her team and my Eagles would be better off with Brett Favre, and several interruptions of last night's Phillies-Cardinals game (5-4 Phils; nice clutch hitting, Shane Victorino!) to show footage of his plane landing in Green Bay (he's not the Pope, people!), this little excerpt from the comedy stylings of Norman Chad (nice name!) and his couch slouch column got my week off to a pretty good start:

Q. If the Vikings played the Packers and Brett Favre started for both teams, who would win? (Ed Werstein, Milwaukee)

A. I assume the game would end on a Favre interception, so it depends which team has the ball last.

Brilliant. And so, so true.

As I, and at least one other pundit, pointed out about three-and-a-half years ago.
