The Excerpt:
A story that began as nothing more than a few rumored text messages has quickly become a PR nightmare for the Green Bay Packers and a topic of endless discussion for the sports media. As one of the most compelling baseball seasons in years rounds the corner into the home stretch, and the Beijing Olympics loom on the horizon, it’s the “will he or won’t he†of one man that dominates the headlines.
Brett Favre is the sports world’s Britney Spears.
Even as reporters and writers bemoan Favre’s complete media takeover, they contribute to it. Stories like “Brett Favre: Sick and Tired of the Guy†and “Brett Favre – Get Off My TV†dominate popular sports blogs. Shows like PTI introduce another day of Favre news (or non-news, as is often the case) with an apologetic preface, but wouldn’t dream of letting the topic go unaddressed.
If everyone’s so over Favre, then why is everyone still talking about him?
