Brett Favre-Tile Dysfunction (BFD)
By: Turner Sports Desk
Symptoms of BFD include but are not limited to:
1. Failure to get a rise out of anything Favre related (pun intended)
2. Lingering pain from the last Favre hostage situation (

3. Suicidal thoughts every time you see unnecessary news coverage
4. You are not a packers fan but you’re rooting for Aaron Rogers to be great.
5. You start to wonder if all of the lives in Green Bay are somehow connected to Favre at the molecular level.
6. You start thinking of other acronyms for BFD which are appropriate in this case.
If I were still running a news desk I would instruct all of my beat
writers and columnists to ignore this until Favre walks into the
Packers facility and says I’m back. Until then, there is simply nothing
to see here folks. I do feel sorry for my Green Bay fan friends because
they are emotionally involved and this story has more lives than a cat
with Blue Cross & Blue Shield.
As a football fan I respect the heck out of Favre the man and his many
glorious accomplishments but I also happened to notice Favre had a
pension for
making the worst possible throw at the worst possible time.
Aaron Rogers will not be the second coming of Sir Favre, but if he is
consistent and does not make the same bone headed errors that Favre
made especially in big games Rogers already has a leg up. Rogers has
been a little injury prone but most QBs are until they learn the game.
Favre was a freak of nature injury wise so the only person you can
compare him to is Cal Ripken in the consecutive games played category.
My advice to Packers Nation is simple. Until Favre walks back into the
Packers facility and proclaims himself back, Aaron Rogers is your guy.
It is my humble opinion that the Packers might be better off moving
forward with a QB that does not have the
big mistake
written in his DNA. Eli Manning proved that you do not have to be the
greatest QB in order to win. I doubt Rogers will be superman in his
first go but neither was Favre. All glory is fleeting no matter how
much we want to hang on to it. So if you have a QB hanging around more
than 4 hours after his retirement seek medical help immediately.
