Meanwhile, in the politics that don't matter

It's been mere hours since Green Bay confirmed they had shipped Brett Favre to New York for a roll of grip tape, an economy-size tub of Icy Hot, and two cans of diet Fanta grape. Not coincidentally, half the population of Queens flooded payday loan shops just before dawn today to secure the cash for playoff tickets.

Adding the most overrated quarterback in league history to the retarded step brother franchise in the nation's largest media market is a bold move by the NFL, which had been floundering in obscurity until now. I, for one, am relieved that we can finally move on from all of this "where will Brett go?" talk and gear up for six months of "how is Brett doing?"

All this on the same day the league announced it had officially banned alcohol consumption, coarse language, audible cheering, and direct eye contact with fans of opposing teams from its stadiums.

Anyone else feel like skipping football this year?
