Well, I’m back, and I’m gonna get to posting–hopefully on topics unrelated to Favre–but this is the crux of my argument. Yes it was a good thing to get the arrogant distraction that is Brett Favre out of Green Bay, ceding the team to it’s rightful owner, Aaron Rodgers, and finally ending the media coverage.

However, New York wasn’t the best place for him to get traded. Want media coverage? New York is the home of media coverage. If Favre could get all those reporters to the nowhere-land of Green Bay, imagine what he could accomplish in New York. All you have to do there is say, “Coach Mangini might have made a few mistakes last game,” and it’s a national story.

My man Colin Linnwweber hails from New York. He hasn’t commented much on Brett Favre yet, but you can never be sure. Colin is the blogging equivalent of the New York media. And since the average blogger is already as over-the-top as the New York media, that would make Colin like a New York journalist on acid, like Hunter S. Thompson on acid–or maybe like Hunter S. Thompson off acid, if that’s possible to imagine.

A selection of some of his past few article titles reads like so:

The 5 Most Villainous Athletes Of The Past Decade
Jose Canseco Is “Rotted Inside Out”
Injuries to Yanks Hughes and Kennedy are as real as Pam Anderson’s breasts
Manny Ramirez Is A Thug

What do you have to say about Favre now? Are you gonna jump on his bandwagon as he turns you into a “Super Bowl contender” like the New York media did with Eli Manning when they first got their hands on him?

Are you going to come crashing down on him the minute he becomes a distraction or doesn’t play well enough like the New York media had been doing to Manning with headlines like this every year until he won the Super Bowl?

Up in Green Bay, I know what those idiots are going to be doing: “Oh, no, Aaron Rodgers sucks! Lets throw bottles at him!”
