8. Brett Favre threw two more interceptions in Green Bay's shutout loss yesterday, giving him 257 for his career -- just 20 shy of George Blanda's all-time record. Will ESPN start running a Bonds-esque "Chasing Blanda" scroll at the bottom of the screen as Favre goes after -- and inevitably passes -- this historic mark? I have no idea, although they should. But I'd like to throw a bone to all of the Favre apologists out there. In order to prevent their hero from breaking Blanda's mark, I say Favre's picks no longer be recorded as interceptions. Instead, they shall be called "gunslings." It's simply disrespectful to say: "Brett Favre stinks. He threw five more interceptions last night." To me, this sounds much better: "Did you see Brett Favre throw five gunslings last night? Man, what a gunslinger. He threw them so hard directly into the defenders' hands that he made them bleed. No one throws gunslings like Brett Favre."
I'm glad to see more and more people jumping on the Favre-hate bandwagon.
I actually only watched the last two minutes of the Bronco game (kneel downs! Yes.) And the second quarter of the Giants - Colts game. That was it. Every time Peyton threw a completion I yelled "NICE WORK, ELI, YOU FUCK" Alternatively, when Peyton threw three incompletes in a row, I was like ELI'S TOTALLY SHUTTING THAT GUY DOWN, MAN. My brother told me to shut the hell up already. |
