You are too old mr. Quarterback, MOVE ON.




i think i speak for all sports fans and especially nfl fans when i say to the old man quarterback... just retire and move on. i mean it would be great if you could play forever but Geritol isnt magical, its the beggining of the end. i am of course talking about... Vinny "da thing wit da thing" Testaverde...oh did you think i was talking about Favre? how could you? he is like a volvo with 300k miles on it... yeah its a station wagon with faded out paint, but while its ugly and sometimes you think maybe its time to drive it off a cliff...you love it.. because in the end... you nothing without those 300 thousand miles. when greats retire, you quickly reflect on things they did that you say never before and never again. i think, i am not sure, but i think, he will be the last real cowboy to fling it. the business of big city/big money football has risk- averse ivy leaguers in the front office sipping lattes and mineral water talking about how not to lose and researching if and why playoff success has anything to do with having a bigger jumbo tron..
of course i am embellishing or actually just stating a mental image as fact but Green Bay execs of yester-year... sat around a cheese platter and keg of old milwaukee and shot the shit with bart starr and talked about how vince lombardi took himself way too seriously. one of was probably hunting in georgia and just happened to hunt with favre.. found him to be an alright dude and an excellent caller of ducks. so at the next meeting of the minds, he invited brett to have a snap of snuff with him and his buddies. Everybody wanted to know if he ever saw elvis in the stands and they all took bets on favre throwing a football through a brick wall.. when he failed..it went double or nothing on wether he could throw the empty keg into lambeau from the parking lot... when he failed.. it went double or nothing again on prank calling john madden. they were simple smart and not worried about making a mistake.. is Rodgers going to be good?.. who knows.. is brett favre going to be good next year? who knows...but year after year.. you face the possibility that your qb is not going to produce like he has in the past but you have to believe that if your qb has a long history of enormous success.. its worth keeping him in to see if the smoke of years past still means fire for the future. green bay could actually win the super bowl next year... with favre the chances are much greater wouldnt you think? even an ivy leaguer couldnt bench the gun slinger if he could obtain the holy grail as soon as february

i want vick back and favre in green and shockey stay civil and deuce to get loose.

give the people what they really want...

sorry vincent.
