WTF? Redfined: What The . . . Favre?

Wait a minute. Wait a doggone, teeth-picking, wedgie-picking (we’re lookin’ at you, Rafa), how-far-from-here-is-Bora Bora minute.
We thought Brett Favre retired.
We saw him get all verklempt at his farewell speech.
And now we read that he’s contemplating a comeback with his beloved Green Bay Packers?

Brett Favre Over and Out

Brett Favre, QB of the Green Bay Packers and shoo-in Hall of Famer, is hanging up his cleats after 17 years.
It’s not much of a surprise, and we can’t claim to have been on the Favre cheerleading squad. (Though we don’t dislike him; it’s more of a vanilla flavor, not unlike the excitement level of Tony […]

Packers: Giving Thanks by Greasing Palms?

Happy Thanksgiving, one and all! Eat heartily, laugh even more heartily (at other people, if possible. Especially if you have National Lampoon, Griswold-ish family members visiting today), and may you be trippin’ on tryptophan when all is said and done.
We won’t deprive you of your daily dose of snark just because it’s a national holiday. How […]
