Reporter Fired For Taking Brett Favre Seriously

Written by Administrator on .

ESPN reporter Jose Mendez, was fired for an article he recently submitted to his editor following an interview he had with Minnesota Vikings Quarterback Brett Favre. The article was titled "Favre retirement a sure thing". Our source, which wishes to remain anonymous, said that the editor flew into a fit of rage. "He kept pounding the desk yelling 'What kind of idiot believes anything Brett Favre says'. I thought he was going to punch (Mendez) in the mouth".

Editor Tom Harkin did respond to our inquiry with the following response. "Brett Favre throwing back across his body to a receiver in double coverage in a tie playoff game, that is a rookie mistake. But for a journalist, taking Brett Favre seriously is positively unacceptable. That's not inexperience, it's just plain stupid."

Mendez did post the following quote that he attributed to Favre on his blog. "It's a tough decision to retire, but it has to be made and this will definitely be my last year. I hate to talk about it during the season, but I wanted to get it out of the way early this year so I can focus on getting ready to play next year."

We here at The Axis of Stevil Show wish Brett the best both in his retirement, and in his comeback next year.

    Watered Down Travel Ban

    I have some friends and family who supported President Trump from early on in the process. From time to time they will ask me when I will admit that I was wrong about him. "If Trump does x... If Trump gets y... If Trump supports a policy that results in z... will you admit that you were wrong?" My answer is always "no", because I wasn't wrong. To be clear, I could be wrong in practical application, but that isn't what an election is about. Elections are about theory and speculation and, generally speaking about judging records. Trump had no record to speak of, and his history of stances on issues was all over the map. I opposed his candidacy for several major reasons, all of which are proven valid in this single issue we now refer to as the "travel ban". Here were my reasons.

  • Fraudulent Rant by Judge Jeanine

    Fraudulent Rant by Judge Jeanine

    If you're not familiar with Justice with Judge Jeanine, it is a show on the FOX News Network starring Jeanine Pirro. She is known for her over-the-top rants where she serves up gobs of fresh red meat for her largely hard right wing audience. While it's not unusual for her to be a little fast and loose with the facts, she has been known to occasionally return from the break with a correction from her producers. Last night, however, there was no such correction to an outright lie she told on the show, and the matter being discussed should have (at the very least) contained a disclaimer from the host. I would cut her some slack, but as a former prosecutor and judge, she should be well aware of what proper protocol should have been here.

    Wake The Hell Up, GOP!

    It's not cute anymore, Republicans. The President of the United States is completely detached from reality, and you can't fix that. You can't cover it up, you can't explain it away, and let me make this as clear as I possibly can for you. You cannot possibly undo the damage you are doing to the party brand by trying to pretend this man is anything other than completely unhinged. I'm watching Sean Hannity borrow guests from the Alex Jones show in an attempt to bolster Trump's conspiratorial claims. I'm seeing relatively mainstream conservatives make themselves look like the crazed fringes of the paranoid right wing. Don't believe me? Look at this.
