Wanna See A Show Gayer Than Queer Eye For The Straight Guy? Watch a Packers Game With John Madden Covering It

This has really been bugging me for the past few years. Let me start off by saying I realize I couldn't play QB on my best day better than Brett on his worst. Up until the past few years Brett was a great QB, probably one of the best all time. But that doesn't change the fact that the guy has seriously slipped in the past few years. The only thing worse than watching a Packers ass beating is having to listen to John Madden gush over Brett Favre during it.

Anyone that has watched a Monday Night Football game with the Packers knows how much of a man crush John Madden has on Brett Favre. A great drinking game is to take a shot everytime John Madden says anything about Brett Favre having fun. You're usually totally wasted by midway through the 2nd quarter.

It's been PAINFUL to watch a Packers game the past year or two. I truly think the only reason Favre hasn't been yanked from some of those games is that he was Brett Favre. If you had a rookie or 2nd or3rd year QB just throwin up dumb INT's his ass would be yanked.

But instead the Packer Kool Aid drinkers just cheer him on and Madden is up in the broadcast booth making Valentines Day cards for Brett with macaroni and glitter.

Here's a typical Packers game last year:

Play By Play Guy: Ball is snapped, Favres moving in the pocket, movin in the pocket, he rolls to the right, pressures coming in, Bretts moving, throws the ball up into quadruple coverage.....INTERCEPTION Chicago bears.

Madden: Wow, that's a tough break for Brett. He must of been havin too much fun to notice Bubba Franks wide open or that he could of dumped it off to Samkon Gado for a TD. But Bretts just out there having fun and thats what the games all about. Tough Actin Tenactin. But Bretts just gonna go out there and have fun, wing the ball around like a gunslinger, a fun having gunslinger who has lots of fun. Yeah he might only throw one TD and 5 picks but at least it was a fun TD and thats what Brett is all about, having fun.

At what point does admiring a former football great during his good times transcend into gay love for a man because you keep gushing about him on national TV even though he lost the game for his team? It's at the point that I am waiting for Madden to pick Brett for the Horse Trailer even though the Pack lose 78-3 and 18 points came from Fave interceptions, sorry came from Brett having lots of fun and throwing an INT.

As a life long Pack fan, I can see what you mean. However, I doubt it is Bretts fault. He's basically running a one man show, especially last year when he had only Drive to throw to.

Brett did complete a nice pass to rookie Jennings for 89 yds. That's what he needs to keep up instead of trying to make every play on his own.

The pack is a young team, Brett is old, but Rodgers didn't do too good on Friday today either.

This could be Brett's last year, but not if things turn around for the better.
