Shoulda Been You, Brett...Oh Wait, It Was!

In a day that began with fake "RIP Johnny Depp" rumors on Twitter, the real RIP belonged to Brett...

In the swiftest and most ironic form of poetic justice, Brett Lorenzo Favre...

HE GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111111....

Sometimes, one of the worst things about sports is only one team can win a championship each year. Sometimes... one of the best things about sports is only one team can win a championship each year.

Brett Favre sucks. Actually, that's not true. He's extremely overrated. He's also produced enough bad karma to totally deserve what happened to him tonight. This is the stupid crap he pulls all the time. Were you blindsided by what happened? You shouldn't have been.

We shall now watch a video and rejoice.

If this doesn't work on Monday morning, I am so, so sorry.

There are roughly 79 amazing things from the above clip. I'll briefly break down four.

1) Favre throwing across the field to lose/blow the game. The cardinal rule of "absolutely do not do this if you're a QB" -- broken. You do not throw across the field.

Watch the throw again. Please? Do it for me. Look at the release. What arrogance... what carelessness. How could a veteran QB make such a poor decision? It couldn't be the exponential amount of media coddling... could it?

2) The Saints DB mocking the Jared Allen sack dance. The late Shonn Greene would be proud.

3) The fact that Favre could have scrambled for some yards but was too old/apathetic to care. This segues nicely into...

4) Aikman raking Favre through the coals during his analysis of the play. I love Troy Aikman. This is one of the many reasons why.

This play needs a name, it was so great. I suppose we could just acronym the YouTube video title and call it the GLINC (Game Losing Interception NFC Championship). Although calling it that isn't specific enough, as he's already done it once before. I guess there's no reason we can't just call it GLINC II.

Rickhouse wrote me an e-mail that I'd normally try to consolidate/make more coherent, but I loved the wording way too much to change anything.

This tweet from your boi Whitlock is great (historical perspective!). And here's some Favre quotes on Zach Zaidman's twitter page (you can prolly find these elsewhere too, I'm sure).  Personal fav: "I don't even know where to begin." Really? I know where to begin! With you, you fuck

Seriously. Peace out, Brett. Peace the fuck out, you five o'clock shadowed, gunslinging, hypocrite. I normally hate "hating" -- Tebow stuff aside -- but you have made this day too sweet.

Enjoy today, Bears fans, Favre haters, Saints fans... whoever-the-hell else. Hopefully, the epic, epic failure will help make up for whatever has troubled you in the previous year. Hell, decade.

BONUS: This also happened tonight. If you're struggling to figure out the significance, let's just say the greatest basketball team ever had its all-time best record preserved, officially. I toasted champagne to that. Because I love the Bulls, but also as a "FU" to the '72 Dolphins. What a bunch of Favres.
