Green Bay, WI- The stakes are high Sunday, as the Packers are not only playing for a playoff berth, but more importantly, for the ego of Brett Favre. A doddering Favre could go to his 10th playoff appearance with the Packers, which has experts worried about the resulting impact on the future of sports.“If Brett Favre should lead the Packers to a win, he may further dilute himself into thinking he’s still good,” says sports columnist Greg Buttons. “If that happens, the sports community may be hit with an onslaught of has-beens thinking they still have the talent to play. It would be catastrophic!”
Experts fear athletes such as Dan Marino, Jim Brown, and God help us, Terry Bradshaw, could possibly try and play again if the washed up Favre wins Sunday. The integrity of sports could be jeopardized with an insurgence of living legends returning to the game and holding past accomplishments over the team owners’ heads.
“It’s the perfect storm,” says sports enthusiast Bernie Wiggins. “The NFC sucks, the Bears aren’t playing for anything, and Brett Favre just refilled his pain pill prescription. Even the recent lackluster performances of Brett could get him a win! I think I speak for the entire sports community when I say we’re rooting for a heart attack.”
