So, the Cheese gets another season of Brett Favre.

It's a sad thing, but for me, Dan Patrick has now done to Brett Favre's name what Stephanie Miller did to Charlie Rangel's.

See, one time on his show he had Frank Caliendo, the impressionist guy who has the show on TBS, only he didn't start out saying it was Caliendo. He pretended it was other people, like, well, George W. Bush (whom Caliendo does excellently, as you can see from the plugs for his show and the DirecTV ads) and John Madden. And when Caliendo was doing Madden, he was pretending that Madden had come up with parody songs to sing about Brett Favre. One of them was based on "I Love Rock and Roll"--I give it to the Rev, should she find it useful:

"I love my Brett Favre,
Put another dime in the defense, baby!
I love my Brett Favre,
Come on and do the Lambeau Leap with me!"

The other one was supposed to be based on "Bohemian Rhapsody," but the most striking aspect of it was that he started out (in John Madden's voice) singing "BRETT FAVRE...oooohhhh..." (instead of "Mama...oooohhhh...").

So now, every time he or anyone else mentions Brett Favre, the first thing Dan does is yell "BRETT FAVRE" the same way Frank Caliendo did when he was imitating John Madden. He even uses it as a sound drop.

So, now, no one can even mention Brett Favre in my earshot that I don't feel compelled to yell "BRETT FAVRE" like John Madden would, the same way every time someone mentions Charlie Rangel, I have to say "Charlie Rangel??" in a raspy gratey Charlie Rangel voice, just like Jim "Voice Monkey" Ward, not to mention Little Audrey.

And there you have it...a long story that means, in the short of it, that between Dan Patrick and Jim Ward, you can't take me anywhere. I mean, someone might mention Brett Favre or Charlie Rangel.

I guess it's lucky I don't live in Wisconsin. Or Harlem.

1. Do you know something I don't?

Cuz as it stands right now, Ted Thompson is a fucking asshole who is insistent that they're moving ahead with Aaron Rogers. The question is if Brett will show up at training camp at all this week. The Pack is holding out for a sweet super-trade, looking for a #1 draft pick.

WHAT. THE. FUCK?????????????

What the Pack needs to do is fire Ted Thompson. :grr::nuke::grr:

2. Maybe I do know something you don't.

People love Brett Favre. I gather they do not love Ted Thompson.

Guess who's in more trouble here if push comes to shove?

3. Hmmm.....

You have a solid point. Ted reportedly told Brett NOT to come to training camp, at least until things could be resolved. But when Brett said he'd probably just show up for practice, Ted said, "Brett, you can't. I could get fired." (or something like that)

Last year, Ted's #1 draft pick: a defensive tackle. We needed receivers. Ted should be shown the door. There are four main gates to choose from at Lambeau.

4. Well, what did I tell ya????

"Brett Favre is back and there's gonna be trouble,
Hey yeah, hey yeah, your Brett Favre's back!
If I were Ted I'd cut out on the double,
Hey yeah, hey yeah, your Brett Favre's back."

5. Beautiful!

Thanks!

Still waiting for the presser to start.
