Investment Portfolio: "Stay Away From Brett Favre Vikings Jersey"

So I'm sitting in my living room and I tune into the Vikings vs. Chiefs game on NFL Network. Not only are the announcers the most homer announcers I've ever heard (at one point, Brett made a horrible pass and the announcer said he was OK with it), but for some reason, people are wearing Brett Favre jerseys.

Purple Brett Favre jerseys. Don't get me wrong, I didn't expect to see any yellow or white Jerseys, but there are better options when shopping for jerseys, like I dunno, Adrian Peterson?

I tend to shy away from 40-year-old guys who are too much of a wuss to show up for two-a-days like everyone else when I buy my jerseys. 

At first, I thought, "well, maybe some of these fans were die hard and had custom-ordered John David Booty jerseys." Then I drifted back to reality.

Why anyone would waste their time and money buying a Favre No. 4 jersey is beyond me. I might go as far as a T-shirt, but to spend $70-$80 on a guy's jersey who is gone after one season (two at the most) is ludicrous to me.

That's almost as dumb as the people in Buffalo who are buying Terrell Owens Jerseys.

I mean, when you buy a jersey there should be two criteria. First, they should be under 35. Secondly, it should be reasonably understood that they plan on staying for more than one season, something you can't say definitively for either player.

If you can convince me that Brett Favre will play for three or four more years, then maybe I will back off a bit, but seeing as how that will never happen, I'll keep my opinion heard.

In all actuality, I'm mainly using this recent Favre debauchery to bridge in my take about the situation in general.

Is anyone else as tired of this prima donna as I am? I didn't think it was possible for a diva to wear Wranglers.

Brett Favre has to enjoy this, there really can't be any other explanation for it. He has done it for the past three years, and will probably do it again next year in an effort to avoid training camp.

What is even more maddening is the media's apparent man crush on Favre. The guy works out at a high school in Mississippi, and ESPN is sending arguably their hottest and best field reporter to cover it, Rachel Nichols.

I love ESPN as much as the next guy, but when the Astros, Yankees, and the rest of the MLB's highlights are forcibly cut short to make room to watch high school kids dropping Brett Favre passes, it makes me sick.

As a Giants' fan, I can't wait until week 17 when Brett will have to fear the likes of Osi Umenyiora and Justin Tuck. At that point, hopefully Brett will regret his decision.

So here's to you Diva...errrr Brett Favre, see you next year.
