FAVRE CAUSES LOCKER ROOM SCHISM!!! All caps, increased text size, and three exclamation points doesn't really even do it justice.
Of course, this will probably be ultimately meaningless. As the great Adam Schefter
notes, once the Vikings start winning, no one will be calling for Sagevaris Jacksonfels anymore. And the Vikings will win some games. I think they'll win lots, actually, especially in the regular season. Favre will probably be good until it counts. Until it gets cold. Then he will shoot the Vikings squarely in the brain.
Even still, this story is kind of fun just because.
It also led me to this
very meaningful conclusion.
Of all the pro leagues, the NFL has the best reporters. I don't even know how the local newspaper guys can even get a small scoop anymore with two behemoths like Schefter and Jay Glazer seemingly hearing everything that's whispered and even stuff that isn't. Poor Chris Mortensen has to make stuff up just to get his name to appear on ESPN's bottom line. And let's not forget about Peter King. How could anyone ever forget about Peter King?
Baseball has the best stats guys. The NBA easily has the best bloggers. But if you're looking for the best wall-to-wall reporting, I think the NFL guys take the cake. Literally. Because everyone knows fat guys make the best football reporters.
Sure, he's more of a columnist, but work with me here, people...
I'll have something up at
FCP in the afternoon.
