Message To Chiefs: Hit Favre For All Of Us Friday

Home » Chiefs » Message To Chiefs: Hit Favre For All Of Us Friday

Many of us would like to tell him to lick something else.

Brett Favre is back. Blah, blah, blah. You’ve all heard enough about No. 4 by now. But I’ve got a different angle for you.Yes, it involves our Chiefs.

The Chiefs will get the first crack at Favre during Friday night’s Chiefs-Vikings game. The twice-retired/twice-unretired gunslinger is expected to get the start for the preseason exhibition. He’s even lobbying for the start, apparently chomping at the bit to get back on the field. The game will be aired on the NFL Network. The sports media coverage will be insane.

Chiefs, please kill two birds with one stone and put this has-been on his ass. By doing so you will let the NFL know that the Chiefs are once again a serious team with an actual pass rush. More importantly, you can potentially save millions of NFL fans from the NFL’s version of The Truman Show.

Now, I am not saying they should do anything dirty (really dirty, anyway). I’m not condoning intentionally injuring a future Hall of Famer (well, except for his pride). What I’m saying is that this is our chance to show the NFL that the Herm era is over, and while serving that notice we can also make old man Favre second guess whether or not he really has another comeback in him. Don’t take it easy on him — hit him like it’s Week 17 and he’s Phillip Rivers.

While I hope we get to Favre — both for our sake and the sake of the football world, er, the football world minus Minnesota, John Madden, peter King and the few remaining Favre fiends — this is a good thing no matter what. With this being Favre’s first game back, both the crowd and media coverage will resemble that of a big regular season game. The game could really help the new Chiefs, and specifically Matt Cassel and the offensive line, prepare for the regular season. The first quarter will especially be as real of regular season simulation as the preseason can ever offer.

Firmly planting Favre on his “I don’t wanna play, wait, I do wanna play” ass time and time again would get the league’s attention. But I would at least like to see our Chiefs play well with all eyes on Friday night’s game. If the Chiefs start showing progress, I might be able to live with Farvefest 2009. Maybe. But let’s interrupt that programming if we can. By hitting him clean, of course (wink wink).

Id like to see them start Brody seriously. Lets get his season ending injury out of the way.

Moufwash

hopefully they make the playoffs so he can be the sole record holder of the most interceptions in the playoffs

Favrecenter was interupted to air the press conference live then the entire ESPN football staff enjoyed a group Favregasm.

Frankly, I'm a little more concerned with the prospect of Jared Allen taking out our franchise QB, than seeing Bernard Pollard stamp a punctuation mark onto the twilight of Brett Favre's career.

Brett Favre has become the Magic Johnson of the NFL (retiring and unretiring over and over agian). All he needs to do now is miraculously be cured from HIV.

I heard Brett was having breakfast with Brad and threw out his shoulder by passing the biscuts and gravy!

I new when he was with Green Bay he was tossing around the idea of retireing and got intercepted 4 times!

HA just realized I made the dumbest mistake by spelling it Farve rather than Favre, oh well I got it right once.

Damn Farve, I'm so sick of his crap, make a decision, stick with it! No one that i have seen has said it but I suspect he's not coming back just to try and stick it to the Packers, I have a hunch its more because his ego says he needs to beat every team in the NFL, 31 just wasn't enough, if im not mistaken there are 3 players that have beat 31 teams in the NFL (Brady, P.Manning, and Favre), but no one has beat all 32. Oh well, after he breaks down this year no team will think he's better quality than what they already have so atleast theres light at the end of the seemingly never ending tunnel.

Ha ha whats that say about Lelie? =)This guy has more comebacks than the Rolling Stones, when did geriatrics become worth 25 mill? Everyone reaches that breaking point where they realize they're not as young as they used to be. Jordan had his. So will Favre. And then we can all hear about it every week for the ENTIRE REST OF THE SEASON!! Right alongside TO's "latest" locker room rants, PETA threating to taser Vick in the nads, and Chad Ochocinco deciding to have a sex change if he's not traded. Its awesome. Reality tv at it's best.

Is it wrong for me to agree with this?

Hell of a good point Zachs girlfriend!

My girlfriend said it best:

I`m so tired of hearing about the Vikings-Farve crap .I might even root for the Cowboys to beat them if they met in the playoffs...(Never thought I would say that)...

I sat at Arrowhead and watched Favre perform just brilliantly to kick our asses in a game that we should have had wrapped up . On the way home we talked about what a legend Brett was. That is all gone with the stupid crap he has pulled the last two seasons I have no respect for him.

I am so tired of the overrated, diva Brett Favre. ESPN is having favregasms and Chris Berman and Tom Jackson are having a circle jerk in celebration. I am so, so tired of the favre show.
