This is an actual shirt you can buy, here. |
Look, I'm tremendously happy football is back. I don't know what I would have done Sundays without it, I mean lying around in your underwear all day, browsing the internet and eating leftover pizza just seems pathetic without football.
But at the same time, I can't help but think that the players certified this a bit premature. I mean if you're going to have a lockout, potentially alienating fans and shaking the foundations of the game, at least make it worth it. When people look back on this years from now it's just going to be remembered as the work stoppage that resulted in a new way to split up the billions of dollars everyone makes, and the players bitched and moaned their way into a few less practices, that's it. Meanwhile the biggest problem the league faces still lives on...Brett Favre.
Yep, Brett Favre, the old gunslinger is up to his same old game all over again. You can practically hear Rachel Nichols packing her bags and smacking her lips preparing for her assignment to camp outside his ranch in Mississippi for the next few weeks. ESPN already digging up some stock footage of ole' Brett slinging with the local high school team, Jenn Sterger nearly feinting from relief because she'll stay relevant for one more year.
