Karma: Brett Favre Wins the Super Bowl

"I can't believe I threw another TD!"
After years and years of being wrongly persecuted at every turn by millions of sports fans, Brett Favre won his second Super Bowl today.  Yes, it was a monumental day for a man who's never been given the media coverage he truly deserved.  Favre, a reserved, humble man who up until today had only one championship to his credit, led the Packers to the championship with an excellent performance.  Much like every game, Favre played almost flawless football, displaying his trademark accuracy and respect for opponents.

The only downside to the perenially underrated Favre's victory was that it came at the expense of one of the best kept secrets in the NFL, the Pittsburgh Steelers.  With the possible exception of the New England Patriots, no team has been as disrespected and ignored despite their success this decade than the Steelers.  Of course, the Steelers have done little to try and gain media attention, populating their roster with soft-spoken everymen who refuse to draw attention to themselves.  Favre, of course, embodies this as well, and it showed this Sunday night.


Indeed, Favre may indeed be the most impressive player of this generation, indeed.  If only someone had given him the coverage he deserved before this victory, the perfect ending to an amazing career.  Hopefully, ESPN will finally give Favre's historic career some coverage now that he is on top of the world as the champion.  No man could ever be more deserving than the ever amiable Favre, who showed off his pinpoint accuracy that has defined his career all day.  It was truly a day for the underdog.

Hm?  What's that? Rodgers?  Who the hell is Rodgers?  Like Mr. Rodgers?  Shut up, there's no way that would happen.  No, it was Brett Favre.  I'm sure of it.  Like the Packers would ever trade him.  That'd ruin their franchise for decades to come!

  1. An honorable mention of Ben Roethlisberger's charity work and in depth community involvement would have been nice. Specifically, his establishment of several shelters for battered and sexually abused Women.

  2. Big Ben is of course known for his humanitarian work, in much the same way that Hitler is known for his art.
