    It's an article by a non-football writer, who of course therefor has to make everything about football itself symbolic of Some Greater Truth. In other words, hyperbolic crap.

    I did like this little snippet though, even despite the over-the-top allegory that it follows (that Favre is an "artist," the last "analog cquarterback, forced to conform to a 21st century robotic, cold, corporate, digital "system" -- I'm not making this up, he even ties iPods into all this). Still I think it does touch no some fundamental truth (no matter how much it's buried under the varnish of overwrought journalism):

    The article sucks. I looked up the guy's bio, he has his own web site. How many reporters have their own websites? On his site he brags about how even though he never went to college he has given lectures at Yale. Well, then that college stuff must help cuz he can't write for crap.
