I know what you are thinking now, “If Brett Favre was the webmaster for this site it’d have won a Bloggie by now.” At least I know that’s what Michael Irvin is thinking.

And hell, he and you would probably be right. At the very least Brett Favre would show up once every week and give it his all, instead of showing up every other month and tossing off a badly thought out screed against this or for that, before fading back into the ether for another fortnight or two. He certainly wouldn’t be writing any run-on sentences, that’s for damn sure.

But let’s just get one thing clear, you go to war in Iraq with the army you have, you hit the field on Sunday afternoon in Philly with the team you have, and definitely can only run a blog with the webmaster you have. It’s a fact of life that no U.N. coalition, no Hail Mary pass, or apparently no diligent, but technically daft writer can change.

Oh sure, I could come up with a myriad of excuses (and believe me, if you ever see me on this site again, I’ll take the time to mine each of them for all the words their worth). But if Favre went out there to get pounded by opposing defenses after his dad died, after his wife was diagnosed with the big C (and I’m not talking about the Cincinnati Bangles), and even after getting rejected by Cameron Diaz for Ben Stiller in There's Something About Mary, then I can take a couple minutes a day to spill some words onto the page, right?

Damn mg!

I thought you were captured by the Iraqis.

Brett would be proud.

Post: kicks ass. Favre's appearance in said flick: the most stilted non-actor performance in any movie ever.

And I'm still having trouble telling the Cincinnati Bangles from the LA Go-Gos. Which one did Manic Monday vs Our Lips Are Sealed?

Aww Come you could just barely tell he was readding a cuecard. I'm surprised he didn't read the acting cues. "Brett walks to Camron" I always wish they eould have her go with Brett in the movie. Oh Wait was he married. Oh What the hell!

Fill ME up buttercup!!!

The Cincinatti Bangles did Manic Monday but I give the LA Go-Gos a seven point spread for our Lips Are Sealed.

From what I hear there was quite a bit of spreading going on. But their lips were sealed, figuratively speaking. Heh-heh.
