And now another episode of “As the Favre Turns” The Ol’ Sports Talker on the edge of his seat.
The scene opens and we hear Brett Favre say. (Sung by Engelbert Humperdinck) “Please release me, let me go.”
The Packers Management replies. (Sung by En Vogue ) “No, you're never gonna get it, never ever gonna get it. No, no, no no, you're never gonna get it, never ever gonna get it!”
Brett replies. (Sung by the Beatles) “I’m a real no where man, living in a no where land.”
Look over there! It’s the Minnesota Viking and Chicago Bears! (Sung by the Beatles) “Baby you can drive our car, Yes you’re gonna be a star, Baby you can drive our car
And baby we love you!”
The Packers Management again. (Sung by the Beatles.) “Get back, get back! Get back to where you once belonged. Get back, get back! Get back to where you once belonged.”
Bret Favre to the Packers Management. (Sung by the Beatles) “I don't like you. But I love you. See that I'm always thinking of you. Oh, oh, oh! You treat me badly, I love you madly. You've really got a hold on me. You've really got a hold on me, baby.”
Packers Management to Brett, (Sung by Buddy Holly) “Well that'll be the day, When you say goodbye. Yeah that'll be the day, When you make me cry. You say you're gonna leave, You know it's a lie. 'cos that'll be the day, When I die!”
Tune in next week. When we will hear Brett, say. (Sung by the Clash) “Should I stay of should I go?”
To which we hear Packer Management say. (Sung by B B King) “The thrill is gone, The thrill is gone away, The thrill is gone, baby, The thrill is gone away, You know you've done me wrong, baby, And you'll be sorry someday.”
All kidding aside, the Baseball All-Star game made me think of the Old Metropolitan Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Everyone knows that Yankee Stadium was the “House that Ruth Built.” However, how many remember that the Old Met was the house that Mays built? Willie Mays was playing for the Minneapolis Millers of the American Association. Willie was playing a the old Nicolet Park. His home runs were so legendary that the Minneapolis Millers built Met Stadium. Met stadium was so well built that it lasted long after the Washington Senators were relocated to Minneapolis and became the Minnesota Twins. Forget about Candlestick Park, Metropolitan Stadium, was the house that Mays built!
Tune in next time for another episode of “As the Favre Turns!“ This is the Ol’ Sports Talker saying, be and athletic supporter!
