Brett Favre
Let me start out by saying I used to love Brett Favre. He was a great QB, had a great career, and was a lot of fun to watch. More recently, starting with the way he handled his retirement/unretirement/retirement/unretirement crap for the last few years of his Packers career like a spoiled brat, he started to get on my nerves. But that can't take away his career.
Now, to the point... Brett Favre is out to get me.
2006 - I drafted Favre to be my QB in fantasy football, and he killed me. When I started him, he'd throw 3 INT's and 0 TD's. When I'd sit him, he'd throw 3 TD's and 0 INT's
2007 - My wife drafted Favre in fantasy football this year. I shared with her my experience from the previous year, and she chose to drop him, and her dad picked him up. He then had a Pro Bowl year and was on fire. I had to put up with my wife all year being mad at me for making her drop him.
2008 - Every year in the offseason, I place small bets on a team or two for next year. This year, I put money on the Jets to with the AFC. Then, in August, Brett Favre decided that he wanted to play for the Jets, and he helped them to melt down at the end of the year and lose the Division by 1 game and miss the playoffs. One more win would have gotten them in the playoffs, and he throws 3 interceptions in the last game of the year and loses it by a TD.
2009 - In a fantasy football league this year, I made it into the playoffs. The first game in the playoffs, I was winning until 30 seconds left in the Monday Night game, our game ended in a tie... thanks to Brett Favre throwing a last second TD to send his game against the Bears, and put up JUST enough stats in OT to catch me. The tiebreaker was total number of TD's scored by your starting roster, we tied there too. The next tiebreaker was number of points put up by your QB, my opponent won that one, with Brett Favre. The next week, my team did crazy awesome, and I would have won the championship if I hadn't lose the tiebreaker the week before.
2009 - This year, I put money on the Vikings to win the NFC. Bet you can't guess what happens next? Brett Favre talks the Jets into releasing him so that he can sign with the Vikings just before the season starts. He got them into the NFC Championship game... and one more win would win me my bet. He drove the team barely into field goal range, and then threw an interception with under 10 seconds to go. The game goes into overtime, the Saints get the ball, go down the field and win.
I think next year I'm going to put money on the Packers... the only team I can be sure that Brett Favre won't sign with and jinx me!
** EDITOR'S NOTE **
I am full aware that Brett Favre is not out to get me. Please don't email me and tell me I'm an idiot for thinking Brett Favre is purposely making me lose. I am aware that is not the case. My rivalry with Brett Favre is purely for entertainment. =)
