As the Truth sees it…

It was less than three weeks ago that the football world went crazy with Brett Favre mania after 40-year-old quarterback supposedly sent teammates a text telling them he was retiring. ESPN dedicated nearly an entire day of broadcasting just toward whether he was retiring or not.
However, after Favre announced a day later he had made up his mind, ESPN did some soul searching. They admitted to possibly going overboard with the coverage of rumors hearsay.
The soul-searching didn’t last very long. After it came out that the Minnesota Vikings sent three players to Mississippi to beg Favre to come back for another year, they reverted back to their old ways. It seems like if ESPN has a chance to go overboard on anything to dealing with L Favre, they will take it.
Instead of talking about other NFL teams preparing for the season, the race for the postseason in baseball or college football cranking up, they sent reporters to an airport to wait on Favre to arrive.
I don’t understand their fascination with a quarterback who has won one Super Bowl and is the all-time leader in interceptions.
ESPN has turned itself into Favre Network.
