No, not that. That was 5 months and 14 days ago today.
But it was Brett Favre’s last pass. And with the Giants having completed their run to glory five months ago today, it’s only fitting that, for the sixth straight month, they are going to be relegated to second-string story again and again, this time thanks to new old controversy over whether Favre will come back for another season (I refuse to call it a retirement when he hasn’t missed a game, or even a training camp, yet). From the beginning of the offseason, they’ve been doubted as the favorites to repeat in the NFL, the NFC, hell, a lot of people don’t think they are going to be the best team in their own division in 2008 (though a repeat in the East would mean 2nd place in the regular season). So what’s another month getting pushed to the backburner, emerging only when Jeremy Shockey or Plaxico Burress “complain” or “shout at the GM?”
It’s gotten to the point where people are already writing the “Giants are taking the doubters as motivation” stories, AND THEY WON THE SUPER BOWL FIVE MONTHS AGO! Aren’t these stories usually reserved for teams that, you know, haven’t won anything?
Ugh…I just wanted to vent, ramble, whatever. Favre pisses me off with this act he pulls each year. You lost, you blew your last best chance to win a Super Bowl, so go home.
