ESPN to America: Go Favre Yourself

When they aren’t talking about Favre they’ll be talking about Tim Tebow.

Amen to that goldenchild!  ESPN has really gone downhill over the last several years.

The fact that MNF with its move to ESPN has become second-rate and the night game of the week is now SNF speaks volumes about how important it is to have a genuine broadcast network. NFL beware: that does not bode well as a trial balloon for ‘pay-per-view’!

The ill-advised FCC move to mandatory digital broadcasting with its terribly reduced range and other such obvious shenanigans (conserving bandwidth… are you kidding me?) are the only sorts of moves that would permit such a format, i.e. forcing it down peoples’ throats. I would be wary of pushing the P.T. Barnum theory too far if I were the NFL.

this is a pointless story, almost as bad as espn’s coverage itself.

really, espn makes me sick as it is, of course they’re going to hype favre-packers like no other.  you have no other point.

you wasted my time.  booooooooooo.

They should let him switch jerseys back and forth and QB for both teams during the game.

Duh…  Why do you think I am on your website instead of Espndotcom?  I am sick of the non-stop Favre/Tebow lovefest.  Favre is a jack@ass media hore and espn is his enabler.

whoops— so much for trying to duck the innapropriate words filter.  Color me the jack@ss now. 

yeah… Sporting News would never use Favre to get attention to garbage writing?

best post i have seen here in months from raisin up off the cot. hilarious and a great idea. thanks partner

What a pathetic old man. Never has a
player of his caliber worked so hard to tarnish an image. Favre
couldn’t look more like a horses ass if had to. But strangely, and
almost incredibly, the Minnesota Vikings have trumped Brett’s hand and
look even stupider.

How Brad Childress and the rest of the "brain trust" came to the
conclusion that they are that close to being a Super Bowl contender,
and Brett "I am God’s gift to football" Favre is the missing piece to
the puzzle is truly incomprehensible. They aren’t even the best team in
their division. I can’t wait to watch this debacle blow up in the
Vikings face, and at the same time watch Favre look like the old fool
that he is. And don’t let the incredibly easy start of the Vikings
season fool you; anyone playing against Cleveland and Detroit can put
up impressive numbers.

The Vikings and Brett Favre, dumb and dumber. What a match made in heaven this is.

scurds… shut up. The Vikings got Favre for what he did this Sunday.

I’m not sure if I should be flattered or offended by your infatuation with me scurds. Sorry I don’t bookmark all your posts, they all suck. A prolific thumbs down poster if ever there was one.

We are only 3 weeks in the season. They beat the Browns, enough said there. Last week they won on a hail mary pass. And the only reason they won was because of Lewis’s incredible catch. Where are the raves for him? Lewis is the one who made that play happen. Oh that’s right, it’s all about Favre. All you heard about was Favre, and he was more than happy to accept all the credit. That’s your boy scurds. I wouldn’t count your chickens before they hatch, there are way too many weeks left for Brett and the Vikings to go down in flames, especially if the real glue to the team goes down, Adrian Peterson.

brooks those are rbdonovans words… look again.
  hey rbd: sometimes your words can come back to haunt you, take it from someone who knows. did you even see the play? a 70 yard laser right on the fingertips, and a great great catch by lewis.  last year they only had the reciever. not so this year.

TWO WORDS: MUTE BUTTON

the guy is having a great season, why not talk about him?
that was quite a finish on sunday

Will ESPN be trying to break the record that they set yesterday, which broke the record they set on Tuesday, which broke Monday’s record? Favre is all they ever talk about. We are all sick of it, and they have to know that. This has got to be the biggest middle finger to their own viewers that I could ever imagine.

Who is this "Brent Faver" people keep speaking of? Never heard of him….

Realize that whenever ESPN does stories on Favre, they get more ratings.  As much as people are sick of hearing about him, he still draws viewership, and that’s going to force the hand of basically all TV management.
