I Have No Interest...

as to whether Bret Favre plays this year for the Packers, Minnesota, or an Atlanta flag football team.

He’s all the rage on ESPN and other sports channels these days. The august Commissioner of the National Football League, Roger Goodall, has opined that the matter of his status should be resolved before training camp starts this weekend.

For those of you that don’t know the ins and outs of this matter, don’t worry, it isn’t important. Focus your attention on the fact that Senator McCain has accused Senator Obama of wanting to “lose a war rather than lose a political campaign.” Other than the fact that the statement is nonsensical, it appears that we are fully into the silly season of the campaign. Say and do anything and see if it sticks.

Come to think of it, it is kind of like following sports news.

Last I heard Farve was coming to the Tampa Bay Bucs. Not that I really care. Football holds no interest for me.

Needless to say, our Star and Tribune has been full of the possibilities of a Farve signing. It will never happen. I always admired Farves talent but lately all his whinning has turned me off!
As for McCains remarks, how low can you go?

No! He's retired.
