LOL. Exactly. Guy must be a nightmare to live with. His poor wife and kids. "Hey gang! Let's go out to eat!" "Oh, no, wait, I've changed my mind, I like what we have here in the kitchen." "No, I've changed my mind again, let's go try somewhere new!" "Nah, I'm not ready to leave the home cooking." "What do you mean the fridge died and stove exploded? I have to go eat Coney dogs at the gel-haired neighbors' down the street now?? WTF?"

I was wondering about this last night.

Not only is Madden '09 going to hit the stores next week with Favre on the cover wearing his Packers jersey, you can download an updated cover with Favre wearing a Jets jersey courtesy of EA Sports!

This is a friggin' circus and I hate it.

Seriously? It really doesn't seem like that big of a deal to me - other than ESPN's over-saturation (which is entirely the result of the "dog days" for the baseball season) during a slow news cycle, I don't really fault the guy at all.

He wound up with something resembling a good scenario - other than having to play the Pats twice a year (early prediction: 5 INTs between those two games - they'll eat up the ol' gunslinger), he's in a relatively easy division with a good coaching staff and moderately comparable talent around him, on the biggest possible stage. Plus, he winds up collecting $25 million to keep playing a game he loves. I don't fault the guy in the slightest, but maybe I'm weird.

It's kind of funny you put Vick's felony in the same category as T.O.'s and Favre's contract/retirement disputes.

The Favre thing didn't bother me too much, and it really doesn't bother me when a NFL player puts the screws to his team. With the lack of guaranteed contracts in the league, I don't blame players for trying to get what they can, when they can get it.
