"Packers Lose Playoff; Brett Favre Blamed"


Once again, like the post directly below this, I have no story here. I just wanted to publish a headline that absolutely no one else will.

Because you know that, had the Packers won, every newspaper would have had as their Sports section headline, "Packers Beat Giants; Favre Hailed As New Christ."

But, let's call a spade a spade: Favre threw the INT that allowed the Giants to set up their game-winning field goal. And, seeing as Favre is the career leader in interceptions (a record he set this year), his throwing the game-loser is a completely unironic ending to an otherwise mind-boggling season.

So, hopefully, Favre will go home and have a good cry, and get on with retiring, so that the Packers can go back to their pre-Favre (ie, terrible) form. Maybe then I can finally stop hearing about how great the fucking Packers are.

One can only hope.
