Gilligan to Favre: "I Know How You Feel"

Since the beginning of time (1988) there has been Madden Football. A little bit after the dawn of man, (2001) EA Sports decided to change around the Garden of Eden, switching the white-haired, jolly "Adam", for the gladiators themselves.

The rest is history (along with my horrible analogy). Since Eddie Gorge has graced the cover, there have been interceptions, injury's, retirements, dog-fighting, and several other curse-like things. But then retired Brett Favre was selected, and then promptly unretired, then traded to the Jets, not in time for the covers to be changed to reflect the trade. Hence, according to the curse rulebook makes the curse null and void, since the uniform has changed.

Think about it, in the third season of Gilligan's Island the episode "Voodoo", Gilligan was under a curse because the voodoo doll was dressed just like himself. If he had simply ditched the silly hat, the curse would expire.

There it is. The logical end to the Madden Curse. But then again, there is that one episode of the Brady Bunch...

Mentions of "Gunslinger" on Telecasts Are Now Down 92%

It is finished. Brett Favre is no longer a Packer. He is finished as a quarterback in the NFL. He was one of the best (a poll on Fox Sports had him ranked 1st all time with Joe Montana in second). It will definitely be different to see someone else at under center in green and gold.

I think he chose to leave at the perfect time. If he chose to leave a couple of years ago, when everyone told him to retire, his career would have been slightly tarnished due to the fact he was "playing past his prime". But now, with the TD record in hand, and just one year removed from a playoff run, he can retire on the top tier of NFL QB's.

Personally I did not care for Favre. I hated how I heard the MNF crew say the word "gunslinger" about 65 times in a half when the Pack where playing. I do realize that I was watching a great QB play. And I am glad I appreciated the legacy of #4.

Let the legacy of Aaron Rodgers begin!
