I'm interested in the Brett Favre saga, but isn't 24/7 coverage a bit much?

Question

Why is it that we arn't hearing ANYTHING about all of the NFL's teams' (yes there more teams outside Green Bay) workouts, practices and more about upcoming pre-season games?

The Redskins played the Colts last week....what? when? Did anyone even see any advertising for that before the day of? I sure didn't...but I knew all about Brett Favre's team preferences and watched 3 hours (yea I was bored) of coverage about where he might go that got interrupted by an exhibition football game (how dare they!).

Isn't this all just a bit silly?

Answer 1

YES

Answer 2

I agree. This is getting a little out of hand now. This is exactly what Favre wanted. To have his name and face in the news everyday, all day. Personally, i think he's doing all this because he's scared to retire. He probably thinks if he stays retired for good, everyone will forget him, when that's not the case at all. I just think he's really acting immature and selfish about the whole thing. I mean, why would you put your team through something like this after 16 years of playing with them? It's really sad to me.

Answer 3

Yes, it's the only thing on ESPN and NFL Network all day long.  I enjoy other sports and topics other than Favre.  Every time the guy so much as farts, they report on it an analyze it to death for hours.  And on top of it, try living in Wisconsin where it's already a constant Favre/Packer circus without all the drama.  This just makes it unbearable.
