That was a great link......the guy who wrote it had all of Favre's mannerisms and slogans down.

I called my folks tonight to let them know that the game in which Majik got hurt and Favre came in and lead the team to the win was on the NFL Network this evening. My dad asks, "Have you ever heard a website called The Onion? Your mother got a call from her sister today. Apparently there's a story about Favre wanting to retire or something".

My dad, everyone.

God bless the "Pedophille nervous for first day of school" headline below it as well....

The Onion Sports guy, is he a Wisconsin dude? They do alot on Wisconsin stuff, alot on Favre, the Sabathia/Fielder hot dog/hamburger thing....etc.

I love it. Great stuff.

The Onion started in Madison. It's offices are now in NYC, but I assume lots of the WI writers moved out there with the paper.

I love the Onion and read it a lot and there does seem to still be a Wisconsin Bias in some of its articles and writings. Great Post, I expected nothing less form them. Pretty good news paper considering it started in a UW Madison Dorm Room
