"That's the thing about Brett Favre: He's not afraid to throw interceptions. You have to admire him for that."
Naturally, this comment has been skewered throughout the Internets:
Weary of ESPN's constant Favre fellatio, baseball writer Craig Calcaterra joked on Twitter: "That's the thing about Buckner: he's not afraid to muff a grounder. That's one of the things I most admire about him."
Followed by a whole Twitter page with additional suggestions for what Tom Jackson can talk about next:
Some of my favorites [A couple are pretty twisted, I must admit]:
That's the thing about Randy Moss. He's not afraid to take a play off. You gotta respect that.
That's the thing about Chris Webber. He's not afraid to call time-out when he doesn't have one left. Gotta admire that.
That's the thing about Bernie Madoff. He's not afraid to make money. He's like a kid out there.
That's the thing about God. He's not afraid to let bad things happen to good people. He's like a kid out there.
That's the thing about Chamberlain [AN: Neville, not Wilt] - the guy wasn't afraid to make a compromise. You gotta respect that.
That's the thing about the Hindenburg - not afraid to fly with a flammable gas holding it up.That's desire. That's heart. You gotta respect that.
In related snark, here's the weekly KSK skewering of MMQB, and of course this week PK leads with everything about the Vikes and nothing about the Saints.
