I’m not a drinker, but if I was, Sunday would be the day. This is because of the “Favre 3:16” phenomenon that I had described earlier. This Sunday, the Vikings play an important game that they, according to several people I’ve asked, probably won’t win. Their victory or loss will have no effect on the fan club emanating from the television announcer booth, however, which will supply several earloads of Favre mention.
The announcer-mention ratio of Favre to Peterson or Harvin or Allen is something akin to 20:1, which may possibly end up being the score tomorrow. Were a person to take a drink at every mention of Favre, they would be toe-up by halftime and not have to watch the possibly painful ending of the game.
Either way, get your glasses ready for Favre.
It’s a win-win even if it’s a loss.

This would be so much better with Favre brand microbrews.
I agree the media lovefest surrounding Favre is annoying. But, to defend them a bit, the guy IS performing at an extremely high level despite being 900 years old (in football years, anyway.) I’m pulling for the Vikings simply because they took a risk with the old guy against all odds (the media wasn’t Favre-obsessed at the beginning of the season – the decision to hire him was roundly criticized.) Now that he’s proven them wrong, everyone’s on the bandwagon, pretending that they knew it all along.
Same old spill…
The announcer on the right is sporting a flat-top reminiscent of Howie Long’s. Is that deliberate?
Charlie: I am a very deliberate person.
Dan: I don’t even disagree. I’m pulling for them.
Am I the only one who, when he read the last couple of panels of the comic, started hearing the dialog sung (by a bunch of rowdy vikings sitting in a cafe, of course) to the tune of the Spam song?
(That would be the Greed Midget Cafe, in Bromley.)
Green! Not “Greed.”
(Sheesh.)
