The bromance won't end any time soon

Oh dear...

Americans voted with their remote controls on Sunday, and they chose Brett Favre and the NFL over the World Series.

Favre's return to Green Bay delivered Fox its largest audience for a Sunday NFL telecast in 14 years as the Vikings beat the Packers 38-26.

The game drew a 17.4 rating and 29.8 million viewers. Game 4 of the Yankees-Phillies World Series drew a 13.5 rating and 22.8 million viewers.

Now, if only after months of waffling Favre plays again next year...and gets matched up against whichever team potential Favre-like media-love Tim Tebow gets drafted upon we'll have the one match up that will make all those Viagra ads superfluous for your average sports pundit.

For example, the morning prior to Favre-a-palooza it was demonstrated the sports "village" is as divorced from the real world as "Broder Village":

ESPN's The Sports Reporters panelist Bob Ryan predicted something along the lines of Charles Lindbergh following his Spirit of St. Louis flight. "There is no possibility in my mind that he won't be greeted as a hero," Ryan said. "He will be treated as the hero as he was in Green Bay -- and should be."

To the surprise of no sentient being that has ever been a sports fan, Favre was booed lustily by at least 60,000 of the 70,000 in attendance.
