Judd Zulgad covered the Favre-led Green Bay Packers for two years and even he can't get past the stars in his eyes now that the Legend has brought his Barnumesque show to the Mini Apple. My questions after reading Zulgad's piece today about how Favre enamored all his new teammates with a very heartfelt speech about not coming back to beat the Packers were threefold: what happened to the "there is no schism in this locker room" claptrap that was widely denied last week that made this speech necessary at all, why didn't Favre feel compelled to do something similar to this last year when he ousted Pennington from the Jets and wound up alienating some of his new teammates over there, and finally if he's not back to stick it to the Packers why admit as much after the Jets stint?
But like the history that we're all doomed to repeat: whatever Favre feels like giving, the media will suck up like so many remoras in shark-infested waters.
So glad he's not our problem anymore - Zulgad
"He just pretty much reassured everybody that he's here to win. No other motives. Can't promise anything. Just to play hard and stand up like a man and just address everybody like a man."
ReplyDeleteIf by "like a man" he means he'll eventually throw you under the bus, go on TV interview shows shedding crocodile tears and generally behaving like child.
Just saw, the speaker of the above quote (and guy who led the team in receptions the past two years before #4 arrived), Bobby Wade, has been cut. Wonder if Wade's story changes at all now?
ReplyDeleteMore than likely we'll hear some talk on a MPLS radio station cracking on Favre, followed by a slight retraction when Wade's agent calls and tells him to cool it, because it's not helping his job search.
ReplyDelete*cough* Thomas Jones *cough*
Of course, Thomas Jones never got cut. He just called a duck a duck.
