Brett Favre! Oh no not Favre! Let's Not Stop Talking About it!

ESPN.com is the go-to site for sports news and it absolutely should be. They update constantly, they have a slew of experienced reporters and columnists on staff, they recently started a large blog network and the video that came with their recent redesign  is some of the best quality on the internet. 

My complaint is unrelated to any of this -- it's that I saw a headline today about Brett Favre possibly coming back, this time with the Vikings. ESPN, like the other outlets that report this, are just doing their jobs. 

I however, will be ignoring any and every Brett Favre story until he's back on the field and doing something that is newsworthy. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me a third time, I'm done paying attention to you, Brett Favre. He proved last year that, while generally adequate, he's not a playmaking game changer anymore who can turn a team right around. He was a Band-Aid for a Jets team that needed one and little else. Favre to Minnesota? Woohoo what's next? Brad Johnson to Carolina? I'll care when there's a reason to.
