Old Age=Wisdom, Failed Organs, and a Possible 2nd Superbowl

Playoffs?!!???
Yes, it is that time of year again, and believe it or not, ya boy Brett Favre is still in the mix. You name it: 7 divisional championships, most career touchdowns and passing yard, toughest last name in sports to justify the spelling of, the ability to backstab the crap out of his former team by joining their undisputed biggest rival, ruining the Jets organization for an entire season, and plenty of PR work through the likings of make-a-wish foundation, Brett Favre is just, again, doing what we expect him to do.
Hate seeing him do, but doing what we expect nonetheless.

Today, in roughly 10 minutes, the Minnesota(Min-ay-sooo-tah) Vikings will take on America's Cowboys. Should make for an exciting NFC matchup, just so long as the Boys' defensive front comes to play with a game plan to plug the holes that Adrian Peterson has been shattering like a Haitian earthquake.

Back to topic-Brett Favre. Did anyone expect him not to come out of retirement for a second time? Probably not. Did anyone expect him not to be playing for a conference championship berth at this point in the season? Probably not. Born in October of 1969, here is a compiled list of other people Brett's age who, as long as their health has not run out by now, might be lucky enough to be watching the game from their big fat couch:

Jennifer Aniston- still fairly hot, yet not in any shape to take on Demarcus Ware and the rest of the 3-4

P.Diddy- Bet he never once played organized sports. At one point he may have been able to purchase the Vikings, but poor decision making, back taxes, and a failed attempt to "Make the Band" 6 times puts him out of the picture

Ice Cube- He still scares the shit out of me, but from what I am told, NFL players play on a very high level, requiring strong intelligence and decision making skills. However, Pacman Jones did make it a career for a few years..

And finally, Marilyn Manson. If football was smut pornography, and the Cowboys were edward scissorhands-esque characters, M squared might stand a chance. Not here, not now.

In close, what we realized is that Brett Favre really is a phenom of some sort. Maybe a few years of alcoholism and addiction to prescription pain killers does make the body last a bit longer. I truly hope that this time next year we will not be able to comment any further on Fav Ruh, but, we know we will be. To give hope to those middle aged men who are still living vicariously through Brett, good luck to you. But we all know, at some point in time, luck does run out....

Go Jets!
