So there was this rumor floating around town and through cyberspace today regarding a sighting of Brett Favre in Cincinnati and that he and the Bengals were talking.
When asked if there was any truth to the rumors, the facial expression of head coach Marvin Lewis resembled — as my colleague Joe Reedy aptly described — like the old bitter beer faces made famous by the Keystone Light commercials. The rumor was discussed in large part on 700 WLW’s afternoon show with Tracy Jones and Scott Sloan.
“Who’s Tracy Jones?” asked Lewis.
So don’t look for Favre to be in Cincinnati with the Bengals any time soon.
Please let there be some truth to this rumor. I think the only thing that could get me excited after last Friday's dismantling would be to bring the Ole Dongslinger into the jungle to toss the pigskin around to the gang. What a classic Mike Brown move this would be. Bring in some over the hill veteran for dirt cheap. The fact that Marvin Lewis doesn't know about it makes no difference. Mikey Boy brought back Chris Henry when Marvin didn't want him.
Listen, I'm not saying that Favre is coming to Cincinnati, but all of the Ben-Gals better clear out their inbox because the Dongslinger's about to have 4 inches coming their way via text pretty soon.
