ESPN Shames Itself
Does Brett Favre possess scandalous pictures of some high-powered ESPN executive? How else to explain the shameful, fawning headlines that have greeted his latest return? They include:
- "Favre: 'I Owe it" to Vikings to Return Again"
- "Once More, With Feeling"
- "Favre's Return Saves a Season"
- "Favre Key to it All"
- "All Shall Kneel Before Favre"*
That's just pathetic. I admit that I am among those people who watch an unhealthy amount of ESPN, and I've never really cottoned to the whole ESPN-is-the-Devil thing that the otherwise excellent Deadspin is always going on about. But I'm starting to understand the appeal. Jeez. Let's just raise the guy's taxes and move on, please.

Just as a reminder, everyone:
