First of all I must preface this post by telling everyone that I am a huge football fan, and possibly more of a Howard Stern fan. Allow me to start with the football aspect.
Once again Brett Favre came out of retirement. This time he signed with the Minnesota Vikings, arch rivals to the Green Bay Packers, but says its not personal. I don’t know if I’m on my own here, but, I’m sick of this isht! This guy gave himself a deadline a month and a half ago. Not to shut the media up, but so that, just in case, he decided not to play, the Vikings would have enough time to figure out their quarterback situation. How thoughtful. Fast forward to mid August, and guess who decides he wants to play again. I wish Reggie White would come back from the dead and Joe Thiesmann that herb. Google Joe Theismann LT if you’re confused.
Which brings me to the Stern show. For a long time Howard has played clips from the Tyra Banks talk show to point out the awfulness. One clip was from some fakakta “so what” campaign. This was to help women feel better about themselves, and not be all self conscious. Everyone in the audience had their weight written on their shirts and after shouting it out they would say “So What.” Whatever, I guess I’m all right with that. The magic of this was after that day, the great Fred Norris will play Tyra Banks yelling “So What!” during inappropriate moments.
When Brett Favre had that situation in Green Bay and felt he got disrespected, I was intrigued, because he ended up on a team that the Pats play twice a year. If he had gone to the Houston Texans, I would have said, So What. F him. By the way, the Packers drafted a quarterback years prior to this to replace Favre, who at the time was cool with that. Fast forward again and sour puss has an issue. Now that the Jets have told him to get lost, I don’t care about him again. I would like you all to join me in my own campaign. If you ever see Brett Favre on the streets or on tv, just look at him and say, Tyra Banks!
