It's gotta be tough when your brain tells you to retire, but your penis wants another 2-3 years of exposure.

Does anyone else watch TYT sports to A.) Laugh at how epic that intro music is and the ironic contrast of having it overlay some dismal, low rent graphics and B.) to laugh at the relentless hate and vitriol in the comments section directed at Ben, and to see how and when he will react to it?

@melojordans23 even at 42 years old i agree. hahaha.

@AEgamesFtw WTF are you talking about? So how would you pronounce Jon Favreau the Directors name? Frequent or heavy readers would look at words more phonetically!

[melojordans23]

I can name five teams that favre could start for

@mochamatrix

B) but mostly, it's funny watching ben not give a **** about what he says, and ppl going into rage.

Wisconsinfag here. In my opinion Brett Favre always seemed pretty modest and almost a little uncomfortable with his fame. Then recently he had a midlife crisis or something and became the biggest douche ever. It's kind of sad, but who really cares I guess, it's his own legacy that he's tarnishing.

Brett Favre needs to enjoy retirement and stay out of the spotlight for a while, I'm sick of his flip flopping on whether to come back to football or not.

If he wants to be involved in football, he should coach a high school team.

@AEgamesFtw Again, not common knowledge.

If I saw a guy named Michael Capre, I wouldn't immediately jump to the conclusion that it's pronounced "Carp"

[sds606]

They already signed Kerry Collins who is almost as old as favre

[AEgamesFtw]

@ItsMeDauntless No. One wouldn't assume you pronounce it like that unless they were inexperienced with spelling/languages. I already said, It's obviously not a name of English origin, and therefore you'd automatically take that into account when saying it in their mind.

Similarly, words like "Sabre" are not pronounced (sabb-ree). Frequent or heavy readers, would look at words like this and estimate the pronunciation more accurately.
