Well, the other night when I sat down and was trying to figure out how to approach this whole Brett Favre thing I realized there wasn’t much to say that I (or a million other people) hadn’t already said during the previous 4 months. So, I checked out what other folks were writing, and the amount of pure content out there regarding Favre is astonishing. Here’s a look at what some of our friends had to say:
- The Daily Norseman thinks Chicago has delusional fans.
- Maybe the locker room chemistry won’t be affected so negatively by Favre.
- Tarvaris Jackson seems to be the odd quarterback out in Minnesota.

- Purple Jesus takes an awkward (and sometimes not family friendly) look at training camp via pictures.

Thanks for the link, but in a week THIS happens, you concentrate on my stupid Lions post? 🙂
Haha, yeah sorry Jason. Trying to decide which of the 8 million Brett Favre stories to link to was like trying to decide which kernal of popcorn will taste best out of an entire bucket.
What can i say, the Lions post was unique and didn’t talk about Brett Favre.
Anyone out there reading these comments should make sure to check out jasonwinter.blogspot.com regularly, lots of good stuff on there.
