WTF Update...Funny line by a local radio guy on Favre

First of all, if Minnesotans don't want to seem like rubes today was an epic fail. Two local TV stations (at least, I haven't checked others) have broken into regular programming. One had their chopper in the air and followed Favre getting off Ziggy's plane and into a black Escalade and driving from the airport to Viking headquarters. At Viking headquarters there were all of Torpedo's relatives   in their Viking jerseys cheering him on. It was seriously like the O.J. chase only different. Just bizarre and kind of sad. Anyway, line of the day as Ziggy's plane touched down: "The Ego has landed." |

August 18th, 2009 – 12:24 PM by Chip Scoggins
Folks, that was nuts. Hundreds of fans stormed Brad Childress’ SUV as he arrived at Winter Park with Brett Favre in the passenger’s seat. Cars driving by had to stop in the middle of the street to avoid hitting anyone.
Fans and media members then stormed onto the team’s property as team security and a police officer tried to stop it. The officer then threatened to arrest people for trespassing if they didn’t leave.
It was beyond wild.

I just spent my lunch hour at a sports bar tuned to three versions of FavreTV  ESPN varieties all, assumed I needed nothing but Favre news, shots of the plane he flew in on, carrying the coverage you just referred to nationally (following his car around town? really? I mean really......... yes   ), etc. WTF is it with ESPN that gives them such a stiffy over Favre? FFS who cares anymore? |

I think the powers that be in Green Bay are scared *feces*less of Minnesota stomping the Pack twice with Favre and then going deep in the playoffs and having to answer why they just didn't bring Brett back.
Yahtzee. I also have to wonder if Goodell told them they don't want the MNF to be a circus spectacle. Jersey retire, Favre running out in purple, G.B. loss, rioting in the stands, etc. Fuzzy keeling over from pure giddiness.................. Seriously, how good would that be? It might be the highest rated MNF game ever. Except I heard the jersey retirement is all but off no matter where Favre goes. It would definitely be a media circus (at least around here). Get Favre and Vick in here. If we're going circus let's go all the way.  Did someone say circus? The scene at Winter Park was a zoo, with television trucks and dozens of cars crowded the road outside the Eden Prairie complex. Owners Zygi and Mark Wilf arrived at little after noon, and shortly thereafter the Favre motorcade arrived. Fans ran along with the black SUV carrying Favre, taking pictures with their camera phones.
One police officer was trying to contain hundreds of fans. Police eventually cordoned off the area with police tape, shortly after a man dressed as a parrot ran the wrong way up the street, advertising something.
