Site News: Moratorium on Brett Favre coverage

By ArtieFufkin

Brett Favre is one of the greatest QBs in NFL history.  This is not up for debate.

However, we here at ReadAndReact have grown weary of Favre’s act of late.  We are well-documented in our distaste for Favre’s retiremental flip-flopping, which actually grew tiresome last off-season when he originally un-retired to play for the Jets. But after retiring yet again, only to entertain talks to return just months later – thereby fueling a NFL off-season feeding frenzy among the news-starved media – Favre has just become plain irritating.

After months of speculation and waffling, including clandestine flights to Hattiesburg, MS and back-alley shoulder surgeries to heal his ailing arm, the latest “news” is that Favre may already have a contract in place with the Minnesota Vikings.  ProFootballTalk.com says that the Vikings are waiting until July 3rd to make the announcement.

Well, guess what?  We just don’t care anymore.

We no longer choose to waste our time discussing non-stories regarding the future of an over-the-hill QB who can’t let go of his glory days, and seems to have some ludicous chip on his shoulder toward the Green Bay Packers (who incidentally made his career possible).

As such, we are are hereby declaring ReadAndReact.net a Favre-Free Zone!!! As our new header suggests, from this day forward, we are banning his name from these pages.  We promise to honor this ban until opening day of the 2009 NFL season (09/10/09) – at which point, if Favre does happen to suit up for an NFL team, we will mention him only as it relates to actual football news … or at least to mercilessly make fun of him.  But until that time, Favre is dead to us.

So if you’re looking for the latest news about Brett Favre, from now on, you should probably look elsewhere.
