In a shock announcement today Brett Favre’s agent has revealed the quarterback’s intentions to begin a new career halfway around the world, taking on a coaching position with the Australian Rules football team, the Essendon Bombers. Favre said that he had long enjoyed watching the AFL games via satellite and that he had great respect for the skill and toughness required to play that game. “They have the strength and speed of linebackers, with the catching skills of wide receivers and the kicking ability of the best punters – it’s an amazing all-round set” Favre answered when asked what had attracted him to the game.
In response to a question about whether his NFL experience was relevant to entirely different code of football Favre laughed and said “Well I know about reading a game, I understand high pressure situations, and I know how to have fun while doing it. Anyone could learn from that.”
This shock announcement has shaken the NFL world and dismayed fans, players and coaches alike, most of whom thought Favre was destined for Minnesota.
Of course, the preceding paragraphs are entirely made up and have no relation to any persons living or dead. But when the world’s spinning in the grip of yet another year of “What Will Favre Do?” fever, well we just had to have a little fun with y’all. No matter what happens with the great number 4, we hope his recovery from surgery goes well and we’re sure Brett will continue to add lots of excitement to the world of football, on or off the field.
In any case, with no disrespect to Brett intended, I can’t wait for all this speculation to be over and for the season to have begun. There’s been a lot going on, but man I’m ready for some football!
