Truth be told, the mainstream media has done a decent job deflecting a majority of their excitement over
Brett Favre's return to the center stage.
First, ESPN made #4 the center of a joke surrounding their latest "This is SportsCenter" commercial.
Then, there was Sports Illustrated's "100% Favre Free" issue which hit newsstands this week.
But make no mistake about it, even steadfast professionals like ESPN's "
Monday Night Football" crew simply could not hide their climatic exuberance before Monday's nationally-televised preseason game between Favre's new Minnesota Vikings and the Houston Texans. The lights, the cameras, the action, the Favre; all rolled together in one cornucopia of euphoric excellence.
