Brett Favre has rejoined the Packers. And believe it or not, amicably. It seems that the cheese heads in charge of the Packers weren't ready to turn the reigns of their team over to Aaron Rodgers quite yet. The NFL's most beloved record breaking quarterback is returning to Green Bay for another Super Bowl run after prematurely retiring after last season's play-off loss to the New York Giants.
Brett is returning by way of Madden 2009 on his own terms and he is set to prove that the Pack is "his" franchise. And technically it is, as Favre has used his advance copy of Madden as the springboard for his return to the NFL. He was so distraught about being left out of this years game, that he seized the opportunity to take control of the Green Bay Packers in franchise mode and with the magic of the create-a-player function, he was back in the saddle as the team's "new" and improved , virtual signal caller.
"Only made myself a 98," said the 38 year old quarterback. "I'm not perfect (see 288 career INT) and it gives me something to work for in training camp. And I will be taking my mega pixels to training camp this year. You can count on that."
Brett was extremely upset when he received a copy of the game with his picture on it, only to find out that he was nowhere to be found IN the game.
"I can't believe my good friend and my most vocal proponent left me out of the game this year. I mean I'm on the damn cover, what the heck kinda video game does that? You wouldn't play Tomb Raider without Laura Croft and you certainly wouldn't put Super Mario on the cover of Grand Theft Auto. So why would you put ol' number 4 on the box and then leave me out of the game? It's like a kid on Christmas morning unwrapping a box with a bike on it and then opening the box only to find out there isn't a bike inside. That's a sham. It's false advertising. It's oversights like this that are the reason I'm taking control of this team."
That wasn't all Brett Favre did to get ready for the season. Apparently he also decided to take "franchise mode" into his own hands and tweaked around a bit and brought in some new personnel. It looks like this season, Brett will finally live out his dream of playing with good friend and fellow good ol' boy, all-pro receiver Randy Moss.
When asked about the transaction Favre incredulously responded, "I mean a first and a second round draft pick for arguably the greatest receiver of all-time! Pwned! Bill Belichik may be a genius, but virtual Belichick is a moron. Even computer Al Davis wouldn't have made that trade after the season Randy had last year and that's saying something."
All things considered Brett seemed pretty pumped about strapping on the pads for the forthcoming season. His workouts were apparently going as well as planned.
"I've been working out in mini-camp mode," said an enthusiastic Favre. "I feel good, I feel fresh, I got a silver trophy on All-Madden mode in the passing drill and I mean, I think that just goes to show you that I‘ve still got the ability to play this game."
Apparently the team moral is virtually as high as it's ever been for the NFL franchise. "My morale meter is maxed out. All the way up. Randy's meter, maxed out. The defense has gotten better during the course of mini-camp and they all look ready to go, the fans are happy with ticket and concession prices and even the coach morale is as high as it can get," said a giddy Favre.
But what about Aaron Rodger's enthusiasm? He's been patiently waiting in the wings for his chance to quarterback the Packers. We wondered how he was taking the situation.
Aaron Rodgers meter was a different story. His morale meter is only half filled and he's become a locker room distraction. His agent says he wants to start, but I don't think he's ready yet. I'll tell you this much, he better get his **** in line or I'm gonna ship him off to the Argonauts. If he though Green Bay was cold, wait till he's throwing footballs in Canada, eh."
When asked if he felt that maybe this whole mess of a situation with the Packers and Rodgers could be a result of the dreaded and well documented "Madden Curse" that seemingly comes with being the Madden cover boy, Brett chuckled and gave us that aww shucks smile he's known for and simply said:
"Curse. Naw. My career ain't over till the fat lady sings."
And in this case, "it" ain't over till the confused quarterback irreparably damages his legacy along with a loyal fan base and can only get I back playing the fat man's game.
Good luck Packers, with #4 back at the reigns, you are a virtually assured a Super Bowl victory.
