Can You Say Parody of Himself? I Knew You Could

I have to admit this is pretty funny on its face. I'm not completely humorless. But deeper than the "poking fun at himself" good-natured Favre is something that feels scripted, even nefarious. After all, weren't we always led to believe the ol' boy wasn't about the money. I heard a myopian say this weekend that "Favre would do this all for free if he had to." Buuuut since he's being paid $1 million to do it, he doesn't HAVE to?

I have no problem with him hawking Prilosec or Wranglers or Cialis or local car dealerships' steel. Hell, if I was able to make easy money I wouldn't be slogging a 9-5 for the man. But I have to admit casting a hairy eyeball at stuff like this self-parodying when he's earning large cash to do it. And if you look closely, I think there's a blood stain on his sleeve where he wears his heart on gameday.
