Chilly Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Well, you're a better man than me then. Cuz I watch sports programming most of time. Especially when killing time. And Favre is not only all over the NFL Network with this crap.....but he's all over ESPN TV today. Sirius satellite radio. PTI. Around the Horn. Front of the ESPN website. Front of the USA Today website. I'm sure there are more and more sites out there. So, it's a little hard to escape. Even when searching for some info on the Pittsburgh Penguins situation, you have to sit through Brett Favre BS to get it. It's old. Annoying. Very much so. No one really cares this much. 874501[/snapback] Erm, Sports Progamming when there isn't a game on is nothing but rehashing stories and creating stories to fill air time and draw advertisers.

That's the only reason this is all re-hashing today. That brings us to the other Favre problem.....why are the Packers on countless primetime football games per year, especially the last few years?

Even when searching for some info on the Pittsburgh Penguins situation, you have to sit through Brett Favre BS to get it. You might want to try this. I've found that it allows me to look at things I'm actually interested in and skip the chaff. Pretty cool. It's old. Annoying. Very much so. No one really cares this much. 874501[/snapback] Try reading a book. Then you (and people like you) won't B word about seeing the same things over and over again.

That brings us to the other Favre problem.....why are the Packers on countless primetime football games per year, especially the last few years? 874505[/snapback] No, the reason why there is all this re-hashing today, is because they are: A.) Filling up pregame airtime by being able to wonder: IS THIS BRETT'S LAST GAME EVER AT LAMBEAU?! IS IT?! B.) Cross-promoting a sport that networks carry. Its the NFL Network who is promoting the game tonight to try to get people to care about it. If there wasn't a game tonight, they'd be saying the same garbage about the game Saturday, or Sunday. They are attempting to create stories to fill airtime and build audiences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the main reason it gave the media to go this route. It's old Brett. Just play the game and shut up please. He's still entertaining, and worth the price of admission. We don't really need the self induced drama of a below standard NFL team every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason A LOT of you people just don't get the fact that this is my version of golf.

No matter where I travel to, there are a ton of Packer fans. We share our bar here with their club. The waitresses hate them because they don't drink and they tip like sh--. They fight over who gets to wait on us because it's a guaranteed big cash day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the amount of time it took for both me and the bartender to decide it was the worst show in the history of sports talk television. I've never seen a minute of Steven A. Smith's show and I KNOW it sucks. N'Sync sold a ton of albums to morons. That doesn't make them Led Zepplin, nor the people who watch them credible music critics.

They too are annoying. They too, wear Bernie Kosar jerseys, and bark every week. I don't think they deserve to be on TV what seems like every other week. Of course, admittedly, they don't have anyone of Brett Favre's stature. However, I can pretty much bet my house that if the Packers were only on ONE primetime game next season, with Favre playing, that 99.5% of the country wouldn't be upset one bit. And like I said, I still enjoy watching Favre, just tired of his act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to me, you'd have forgot about it by now. After all, that was a long time ago that Kellerman hosted the show. And agreed, it was brutal when he was on there. But yeah, you've seen it ONCE, for 30 seconds. LOL Pst: It's OK, I won't tell anyone! Rating's point. It must have lasted so long, cuz no one has watched it since Kellerman. Yeah right.

Sad. 874539[/snapback] As opposed to the wealth of knowledge that we all exude here. Don't take yourself so seriously man. Really. But no, Cowherd, I really don't listen too. I like most of the guys on Sirius. Especially Randy Cross. I think he's very knowledgable about a lot of teams. But even if a show is bad, you'd still listen to it for the train wreck effect of that show. A bad host is just as effective as a good one. You'll tend to tune in to a bad host just to hear how stupid their take is on a subject, as you would a good host. It works pretty much just the same. But good try. It's amazing that all of you who don't listen or watch ESPN know so much about the network and all of it's hosts. Cracks me up. Consider yourself a ratings point also.

C.Biscuit97 Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Why do people think they should tell Brett Farve what to do with his life? The man is top 10 QB of all time. Just because you don't think he can't play, guess what, an NFL team still does. The Packers have let 3 of their top OL walk in the past two years along with a very good young WR. Does Farve make poor decisions? Hell yeah. But I would still take him over about 75% of the QBs in this league. Either way it's decision and people need to get off his sack.

His presser today was kind of like.....that girl who weighed 100 lbs in high school saying that she's fat, just becaue she's kind of wanting attention. Girl in high school who weighs 100 lbs: I'm so fat, no one thinks I'm pretty. Geek in HS that wants to bang her: Oh, yes you are, you're not fat at all. I still revolve around everything you say and do. Brett in pressers (for the 200th time): Oh, this might be my last game or it might not be. I'm not sure what I should do. Media: No Brett, No, god no, say you'll play so I won't have to make your final highlight film and not have to talk about how good Donald Driver actually is. Please Brett. Please! Until next week.
