Brett Favre Sings 'Pants on the Ground' after Beatin the Pants off the Cowboys



Apparently Brett had promised Percy Harvin that he would sing the pants on the ground song if they went onto the NFC Championship game. And apparently Brett Favre is an American Idol fan.

Report: Brett Favre Refused to be Benched Last Night


Dan Wetzel of Yahoo! Sports says that Brett Favre was told by Vikings' head coach Brad Childress that he would be benched for the 3rd quarter of last night's loss to the Carolina Panthers. Favre refused and stayed in the game.

“Yeah, there was a heated discussion, I guess you would call it,” Favre told reporters afterwards. “We were up 7-6 at the time. No secret, I was getting hit a little bit. I felt the pressure on a lot of plays. We had seven points. So I think everyone in the building was like, ‘They’re not moving the ball, they’re not getting points.’ Brad wanted to go in a different direction and I wanted to stay in the game.”

Brett Favre Already in Madden 2010


It has only been a day since Brett Favre re-re-undecided to retire, sign a contract and hit the practice field, but the future hall of famer is already slated to join the Madden 10 video game in the purple Vikings jersey wearing the iconic number 4 in the next player's update. The update will also include Michael Vick wearing number 7 for the Eagles. Check out Favre's stats below. [Kotaku]

Dear Brett Favre: Get Over It.


[Gonna take a pass on the obvious "Here we go again" statement]
[EDIT: This was a complete coincidence. Awesome! Yet totally unsurprising]

ESPN's Ed Werder reports that Minnesota Vikings coach Brad Childress is going to meet with aging aged quarterback Brett Favre later this week in the ever-mysterious "undisclosed location" to discuss the possibility of Favre coming out of retirement and playing for the Vikes this year. The New York Jets released Favre about a week ago, promptly after taking future bust Mark Sanchez in the first round of the NFL Draft.

Well this is a stupid story. Guess what Favre, you're not getting any younger, and just like any other old guy, your decision making skills (on and -- as this story proves -- off the field) have been rapidly declining. Give it up, please. If not for your sake, then for mine. I don't know whether this story is more annoying or more sad. I'm gonna say more annoying. Just go away Old Yeller. Don't make us break out the rifle.
