So emotional... So fake

So Brett Favre decides to retire after 17 seasons. No big deal, you think, right? Oh no, not to Mr. Favre. He gets all choked up because he is leaving the game. He will miss it all blah blah...

Put a sock in it Mr. Favre. First of all, no one forced you to retire. You are only trying to leave in a high note. No one can blame you for that, just don't make it sound like you are the first one to retire. Or maybe you were crying the disappearance of your multi-million dollar check. Now that is something to cry about.

Why am I griping, you ask. Because at that very moment when channels were feeding us the crap about a grown man crying over retirement, a woman was hosing her baby at a car wash, a father had just disappeared from home and somewhere a parent was waiting for a son or daughter who never came home. Oh yeah, there is a lot of bad happening out there worth crying about.

My suggestion: Take another hobby Mr. Favre, something that will not involve you bashing your head into anything harder than a pillow. You've already done enough damage to your body by taking all those sacks. Even better, why don't you dedicate more time to charity. That way, next time you cry over a child dying of Lukemia, we can all sympathize.

Have an emotional day.

Madd Shame.
