Give us a break already

Usually I am not one to let things like this get to me, but enough is enough. For the past 2 months give or take the world or I should say the US has had this compelling interest in the lives of two athletes. If you do not know who I am talking about well I mean Brett Favre and Michael Phelps.

Now in no way shape of form am I knocking what these guys have accomplished in their careers because god knows I would love to do it, but I mean come on enough is enough. Do I really care about what they eat, listen to, or how they are feeling…no. Of course there is no escape from either right now because one has the greater New York City area breathing down his neck and the other has the world in aw.

One thing I do understand is that for some this is the chance to see their team (yea right!) make it or even WIN the Superbowl. May I just remind Jet fans that they are in the AFC and have 2 of the best defenses in the entire NFL in that conference (Vikings and Chargers). And for the other it could be a few more weeks or four more years of what he did.

For now I take watching ESPN and any other local news with my remote in hand because I do not know how much more I can take. Plus with Ninja Warrior on G4 all the time who cares what Favre or Phelps do, because I don’t think either of them could make it through all four stages.
