Stensation’s basement is full of Brett Favre’s lies
Posted on August 21st, 2008 – 10:45 AMBy Michael Rand
You have to admire Stensation. Yes, he is a Packers fan, which is a terrible fate. But he is at least on with a sense of humor about the whole Brett Favre saga. As he prepared his basement for an impending fantasy football draft, he took a closer look at one of his favorite wall hangings: His Brett Favre autographed print. He was kind enough to take a big picture and then a more focused picture. Here’s what Stensation had to say along with his kind e-mail to us: “Not sure where this, ahem, ‘final’ quote comes from. But it’s engraved on an autographed framed print in my basement titled ‘Legacy of a Man.’”
And so, if we might repeat what Brett Favre said of his legacy, on this beautiful keepsake: “Play somewhere else? It will never happen. This is where my family is. This is where my heart is. This is where I belong.”
The turned tables and irony are just too delicious to warrant any further comment.

Um, okay, what am I supposed to do then?
… and then Stensation sat down on the floor and began to weep bitterly.
Was this plaque circa 1992? Cause maybe they just ran out of room to put, NOT! in there.
Yes, there is a wikipedia entry for that, and I don’t know why I looked.
Newbie, we were just ripping on my 63-year-old mother-in-law, who says NOT! a lot and thinks she’s cool. She and P3 the Borat idolizer are the only ones I know who have said it this millenium.
Cool people say “NOT EVEN!”
AZGG, you were right to mock her. But could it be that she is a trend-setter and can bring it back?
Also, do the kids still say cool? or even coo for that matter?
Also, did I just ask if the kids still say something? Does that make me old?
Maybe your mother-in-law started saying NOT back in 1959 and we should all celebrate her trendsetting ways. Ever thought of that?
You guys are right - maybe she’s just “retrosexual”. Or something. She did buy my kids a car this Christmas that plays “Who Let the Dogs Out.” So look for a resurgence in the Baha Men’s careers.
P.S. I want to know how much Stensie paid for that piece of crap, and whether he can get his money back? Actually, it may be worth more now, based on the proof of Favre’s fraud.
Are the practice used Mike Holmgren whistle and the Shannon Sharpe FatHead next to the Favre shrine? What about the only used twice Mark Chmura condom? Where is that stored?
AZ - it was a gift. And now, a serious candidate for a “re-gift”
Along with my semi-authentic Favre jersey, and framed “Sportsman of the Year” SI cover, and autographed “game of his life” print, and onesie #4 jersey for my unborn child …
Um, therapy?
And also. “Stensie” ????
Where the hell did that come from?
Not that I don’t like the new moniker …
Just my new pet name for you - a way to butter you up before I criticize your choice of decor. (Women like to build you up, then tear you down.)
It’s a little trick I picked up from P3, who coined the pet name “Tooncie”, which is my favorite to date.
Um. This is pathetic POS. Why? Because Favre did want to play for the Packers. Management didn’t want him. Had they welcomed him back, playing for another team would never been an issue. I know Favre brought this on himself. Still, management lied a half dozen times throughout this whole mess trying to save face in the locker room AND in the public eye. Case in point:
You can’t come back. You’re gonna be a backup if you do. You’re going to compete for the job. Yet, if you compete, you’re going to practice on a separate field from the other players. Okay, we’ll welcome you back (in the eyes of the public). Okay, we’ll bribe you not to play. Okay, you’re back and you’ll compete for the position. Okay, Brett, truth is, the competition is really a farce — you know it’s going to be Aaron.
In the end, it was the Packers who said, “if you’re going to play, we’re making you eat those words, ‘playing for a team will never happen.’” Good for Brett for not pleasing the cheap ass critics who find stupid crap written on a plaque to bitch and moan about. I think you need to call the WAAAAmbulance!
Hmmm…you sound like you might be P3’s gramatically proficient, somewhat-reasonable older brother. Are you sure your name is Todd Tyler Thompson-Paulos?
Any insight you could offer into your family dynamic would be awesome.
Hell, the guy wants to play. Would you in his condition go home to Miss. and watch the locals hump each other ? He’s a one of a kind. Maybe only a few others like Elway make their mark. Do you think Jackson can leave his mark ? He comes across in interviews as being unable to sign his name.
As for GraMMaRR, who cares. The purpose of writing is expression. Some people with perfect grammar like danonymous then manage to say absolutely nothing absolutely clearly…grammar is for obsessive compulsives…live..type faster
Deadspin-linked. Huzzah!
I’ve got a plaque hanging in my bathroom too. It says “michael rand is a dick”.
and by the way, even without favre, the vikings still won’t win the NFC North. dick.
