He’s baaaack….

August 18, 2009

So what finally made Favre sign with the Vikings? Maybe Brett wanted Michael Vick to sign first so he wouldn’t necessarily be the most hated quarterback in football.

–
Whats the difference between Stephen Strasburg and Brett Favre. One just signed a huge contract without any evidence that he is really ready to play at a professional level. The other is the newest member of the Nationals.

–

The Brett Favre theme song: “Never Can Say Goodbye.”

–
At least we won’t have to worry about seeing Favre on the celebrity version of “Who wants to be a millionaire?” He could never get past “Is that your final answer?”

–

Apparently Favre and his wife had one of the longest wedding ceremonies in U.S. history. There was an unexplained 90 minute pause after the minister asked, “Do you Brett, take this woman, for better for worse…..as long as you both shall live?

This one inspired by the very funny Neil Berliner, who noted that “its a woman’s perogative to change her mind” and suggested Brett might soon show up in purple culottes.”

My thought, I didn’t realize Favre and Manny had the same physician.

If reality shows weren’t surreal enought…

Now former House Majority Leader Tom Delay, is apparently going to compete in “Dancing with the Stars.”. This follows his role in that campaign finance scandal -“Dancing with the Truth.”

What’s next? Former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich in “Let’s Make a Deal?”

And Robert Ensign, John Edwards and Mark Sanford in “Temptation Island.”

In the meantime Larry Craig is considering signing on for “Queer Eye for the 100-percent-absolutely-how-could-you-think-otherwise Straight Guy.”

Hurricane Bill is forming in the Atlantic. No word on what category Bill will become, but the storm seems likely to upstage previous Hurricane Hilarys.

–
Another thought on Hurricane Bill. Whatever happens, the storm is also likely to flame out over South Carolina.

A couple for Canadian readers.

The Montreal Alouettes and their quarterback look unbeatable these days. Other CFL teams are wondering if there is a way to stop Anthony Cavillo, well, other than having him date Jessica Simpson..

Forget the fact that Y.E. Yang upset Tiger Woods at the PGA on Sunday. How about the more important fact that Korea is now tied with Canada for winning golf majors.

(Mike Weir, Masters 2003)

New Orleans kicker Garrett Hartley was suspended for taking Adderall, a prescription drug he reportedly didn’t realize was on the NFL banned substance list. In his place the Saints signed 45 year old John Carney. Let’s hope another substance on that list isn’t Ensure.
