Brett Favre’s final press conference as a Green Bay Packer yesterday was an emotional ending to one of the best careers ever put together by a quarterback.
“I hope that every penny …” he said before stopping to gather himself. “I hope that every penny they spent on me, they know it was money well spent. It was never my accomplishment, it was our accomplishment. It just so happens the position I played got most of the attention. It’s been a great relationship. I hope this organization and the fans appreciate me as much as I appreciate them.”
Brett Favre’s 17-year career ended with an interception against the Giants in the 2007 NFC title game, yet he feels that he went out on the top of his game and that he has nothing left to prove.
Favre is one of those guys that everybody likes and respects, sort of like Roger Clemens was before we realized that he may have taken steroids and given HGH to his wife. Favre always worked hard, played hard, and kept his mouth shut. The NFL would be a better place if more players would live by his example. (cough, cough, Chad Johnson).
It was time for him to go, though. Hell, Favre was relatively old when he starred in “There’s Something About Mary”, and that was like ten years ago. I actually just recently watched that movie for the first time in a long while, because somehow I’d forgotten how much Ben Stiller sucked. After suffering through all two hours I was reminded that the movie was the peak of Cameron Diaz’s hotness.
Don’t believe me? Observe Cameron Diaz circa 1998:
Now Cameron Diaz circa 2006 (warning: disturbing content):
Actually, I guess Cameron looked decent in Charlie’s Angels (2000), but she’s such a terrible actress that it’s hard to be turned on. And her mouth looks like she could swallow a human baby whole. Instead of cutting it up, like a normal person.
And have you ever seen “The Sweetest Thing”? Holy shit, that’s the dumbest movie I’ve ever seen, and I once watched “The Brave Little Toaster”. Go ahead, click on it, I’ll wait. You know you want to. Just to whet your appetite, Phil Hartman plays both the Air Conditioner and the Hanging Lamp. Really.
Speaking of Charlie’s Angels, let’s get that bad Diaz taste out of our mouth with a little Liu.
