I Hate ESPN

It's Monday night and Brett Favre is doing his press conference. ESPN flashes this stat on the screen:

Brett Favre: 1 of 11 players in NFL history to throw a 99-yd TD pass.

It's such a random accomplishment. It's like if, when Michael Jordan retired, they had a graphic that said: "Michael Jordan: 1 of 14 players to make a 63-foot shot." Out of all the stats you can choose for Brett Favre, they choose this one. You want to know the illustrious list of QBs with 99-yd throws?
  • Frank Filchock (sounds like the owner of a frozen chicken product line)
  • George Izo (never heard of him)
  • Karl Sweetan (never heard of him)
  • Sonny Jurgenson (he was good)
  • Jim Plunkett (he was good)
  • Gus Frerotte (he's awful)
  • Stan Humphries (he's not good)
  • Trent Green (he's ok)
  • Jeff Garcia (he's weird looking)
  • Brett Favre
  • Ron Jaworski (hmm, maybe now I know why ESPN put up this graphic)

  1. I am not comparing Michael Jordan to Brett Favre, Favre had way more fun out there.
