Daily Asshole

















Two things I avoid:
1.) The media's Brett Favre circle jerk
2.) Fox News
So it should have been easy for me to avoid Greta Van Susteren's interview with the former adulterous pain-killer addict, right?
Apparently not. ESPN, ESPN.com, and pretty much any other newservice is spinning their wheels over whether or not he takes his next dump in Minnesota or Wisconsin.
What's worse is that this has now become Fox's story. All of the sudden, Van Susteren is interviewing Rich Eisen and LeRoy Butler all while giving her favorite football player a backsided handy. I guess if you close your eyes, it sounds like Lou Holtz interviewing Favre until Van Susteren boasts, "Since 1960, almost every Sunday I have spent studying the Packers, so it is sort of my hidden expertise. I know [more] about the Packers then I do about probably anything else."
Come on. This is a hardcore news channel. If she doesn't know more about Brad and Angelina's kids than the Packers, she just isn't doing her job.
Favre is the larger asshole in this situation because he has been dragging this shit out for five years. Fox News, and by extension, everyone that is recycling all of this Favre crap, is just as bad.
The real story here is that Brett Favre feels he is above battling for the starting QB job and the media loves to defend a blond-haired blue-eyed Good Ole Boy.

I believe a backside handy is actually called "The Wade Boggs"
