Karma is a law in Hinduism which maintains that every act done, no matter how insignificant, will eventually return to the doer with equal impact. Good will be returned with good; evil with evil. For over two years now Brett Favre has been taking a massive dump all over two different football teams and their fans. Now we've witnessed the universe reward him with a huge crap sandwich served on moldy bread.
For the record I am a Cowboys fan so I've always disliked Favre. I might have even fealt a little sorry for him back in the 90's because my beloved Cowboys OWNED him. But after the way he's acted the last couple of years I don't just dislike him I despise him!
Let's review: In March of 2008 an aging Brett Favre said, "I know I can still play but I just don't want to." And with that he retired from the Green Bay Packers whose fans almost worshipped him as a god. So the Packers did what they had to do and moved on to life without Brett the Great. Then in July, just before the start of training camp, Favre decides he wants to play again but the Packers have already moved on and they don't want him back. Still owning Favre's rights the Packers decline his demand for an unconditional release so he can go play with the Vikings. Eventually the Packers traded the cry-baby to the NY Jets for a conditional fourth round pick. Farve got off to a pretty good start with the Jets leading them to an 8-3 record in their first eleven games. Then he proceeded to crap all over team number two by losing four of their last five games throwing eight interceptions and two touchdowns. Then at the end of the season he comes out and says, "My shoulder hurts." An MRI revealed a torn bicep in his right shoulder. An injury he insisted on playing through even though it was obviously hurting the team. Then in February 2009 after successfully ruining the Jets season Favre announces retirement number two. In April 2009 the Jets released Favre from his contract opening the door for this enormous turd to pop up again anywhere he wanted.
Flash forward two short months after his second tearful retirement: June 2009 Favre makes it known that he wouldn't mind playing again for the Vikings. This couldn't have been a bigger slap in the face to Packer fans. The Packers hate the Vikings as much as the Cowboys hate the Redskins and the Red Sox hate the Yankees. So in July the Vikings (aka Bi-Queens) offer Favre a one year deal at the league minimum. Well this wasn't good enough for his holiness so he told the Bi-Queens he'd just remain retired. Then at the end of training camp in August the Queens offer Pope Brett a two year, $25 million dollar deal. Well, now you're talking! Naturally The Great One accepted this offer as it was worthy of his greatness.
So his majesty goes on to lead the Bi-Queens to a 12-4 record in 2009 and the number two seed in the NFC playoffs. In the divisional round of the playoffs the Queens beat my beloved Cowboys 34-3 with Favre rubbing salt in the wound by throwing a meaningless touchdown with less than two minutes left to play in the game. Just another example of this douche-bag padding his stats and going for personal glory. So here we have the great Brett Favre, a legend in his own mind, facing off against the New Orleans Saints for the right to go to Super Bowl XLIV (that's 44 for those Roman-numerically challenged). And finally this is where the Karmic powers finally take notice of this jerks actions over the last two years and give him a massive dose of the same crap he's been spewing forth all over the rest of the world. Little Brett throws an interception deep in Saints territory with just seconds left in regulation sending the game into over-time. Where Karma leads the Saints down the field for a game winning field goal to send Brett home to cry into his pile of money and begin formulating ways he can screw Minnesota and play for yet another team next year.
I hope this festering waste of flesh realizes that he got off easy by only losing a ball game. Personally I was hoping for a broken leg a' la Joe Theismann. Is wishing for something that didn't happen count as bad Karma?

Tiger, Tiger, Tiger...
Wow, what an idiot. I've been a huge fan of Tiger Woods on and off the course. On the course he's a brilliant golfer who settles for nothing less than perfection. Off the course he's always appeared to be a well balanced, squared away good guy. But not so much.
Here's a 35 year old guy that's got it all. He's got 100's of millions in the bank. He's well on his way to being recognized as the best golfer ever. He's got an unbelievably beautiful wife and two young children. But instead of behaving like a responsible 35 year old professional athlete and family man he's been behaving like a 19 year old frat boy away from home for the first time and nailing every nookie girl with big, fake boobs that smiles at him.
So far the nookie girl count is holding at three. I'm going to set the over/under of NG's that come forward at 8.5. Every little tramp that he's one-timed will be coming out of the wood work trying to sell their story for big money. And none of the three so far are even half as pretty as his wife! If you're going to be a cheating douche bag at least pick up hot chicks.
I have absolutely no sympathy for Tiger whatsoever. Any married man that cheats on his wife is a dirt bag. And in this case the women are scum bags too. It's not like they met some anonymous guy in a bar and didn't know he was married. Everyone of these sluts knew who Tiger was and knew he was married and had kids.
I hope the ghost of Earl Woods comes back and kicks Tiger square in the ass. I don't believe Tiger would be behaving like this if Earl was still alive. I think Earl was a big influence on Tiger when it came to him walking the straight and narrow.
If Tiger wants to save his marriage he needs to come forward now and admit everything publicly. He needs to take ownership for everything he's done wrong and beg his wife not to leave him and take the kids with her. He's no longer allowed to hide behind the shield of "my private life is my business." When you're this famous and act like a turd then you lose that privilege.
But if he wants to live the life of a rich, 19 year old douche bag then he needs get a divorce and stop trying to pass himself off as dedicated family man and professional. Hopefully he'll grow a pair and straighten his act up and try to reclaim at least a fraction of the credibility he used to have. And not for the sake of his fans and product endorsements but for the sake of his wife and children.

You pick your champ how?
One of my favorite seasons is upon us, the college football season. I love watching my beloved Longhorns take the field and, more often than not, beat the competition senseless. There's just one tiny, insignificant gripe I have about major college football...THEY DON'T HAVE A PLAYOFF SYSTEM!
How is it that football leagues from the NFL all the way down to Pee Wee have playoffs to determine their champions but major college football uses a convoluted system of coach polls, media polls, computer polls and voodoo dolls to choose the top two teams to play for its "championship"? The antiquated bowl system needs to be put out to pasture and replaced with a playoff system that will once and for all crown a legitimate NCAA football champion.
In 2008-09 there were 34 bowl games. Quick tell me the two teams that battled it out in the "Papajohns.com Bowl"? (Rutgers & NC State) Or the two annual power-houses that fought to the death in the "MagicJack St. Petersburg Bowl"? (South Florida & Memphis) Do the fans of those teams really even care that much? If you want to keep these piss-ant bowls for pee-on schools I don't care. But please for the love of all that's decent give the fans (and majority of coaches) what they really want...a playoff system. I personally prefer a 16 team playoff but I'd be more than happy with 12 or 8 teams. Here's how you do the 16 team version:
1. The champions of the eight following conferences receive automatic bids into the playoffs: ACC, Big 12, Big East, Big 10, Pac 10, Southeastern, Mountain West and WAC. All of these conferences must institute a conference championship game. No team in these conferences are allowed to play more than 11 regular season games or less than 10.
2. The remaining eight teams, regardless of conference, will be selected by using the current BCS ranking system (don't want to put those computers out of work.)
3. Playoffs start the weekend following the conference championships.
4. The first three rounds will all be played using the 14 largest existing bowl games (the NCAA can determine the 14 on their own).
5. The championship game can be held on a rotating basis.
And there you have it: A legitimate national champion.
And don't give me the ridiculous arguments currently in use against playoffs:
Argument Against: It would add too many games for the student athletes involved.
Argument For: Let's be realistic if you're playing football on a "scholarship" at one of these major schools your major is football. And all the minor NCAA conferences already have playoffs.
Argument Against: It would lessen the importance of the regular season games.
Argument For: Again I call BS. For example Texas beat Oklahoma during the regular season but thanks to a silly tie-breaking system in the Big 12 Oklahoma ended up going to the conference championship game and going on to the BCS Title game (which they lost). So in reality how important was it to Texas to have won that regular season game when a team like Texas is playing for one thing, a National Title. Anything else is a disappointment.
So please give the fans and the schools the playoff system they deserve.
