FAVRE CUT, TAKES REVENGE

FAVRE LAMENTS LEAVING THE COUNSELOR

Richard City, TN- "
“I am officially cut from the Seattle Blue Ribbon League and the Counselor. And as much as I thought about what I would say… and how… (chokes up)… I promised I wouldn’t get emotional," Favre said before The Counselor's game again Fluffernutter, "I played a long time, had a great career up to this point, and can walk away with my head as high as anyone else, but Richard...I can't believe Richard would do this to me."

Favre was, of course, referring to Counselor Coach Richard Council.  Favre and Council have a long history.  He was Council's best man at his wedding, and the Godfather of Council's son Brett Richard Favre Council.  But Council, in an effort to jump start his team, had to let the veteran go.

"We got a guy (Mark Sanchez) that's going to be the quarterback here for the next 10 years probably. And Brett Favre's a great player. Last year, those statistics, I kept saying, 'That can't be right," Council stated, ""If we never drafted Mark Sanchez, there would have never been any cutting of my best friend Brett Favre. I can say that absolutely. And maybe nobody knows it or whatever, but I can promise you that's how I was feeling."

Council does have Mark Sanchez, but went with the experienced Michael Vick against the undefeated Fluffernutter.  Vick, though, was hurt in the first quarter, when a pair of Wrangler Jeans was thrown from the stands...causing a rib injury knocking Vick out of the game.

"“It's the hand Council had dealt. He put himself in this position, and he's got to find a way to get out of it," Favre replied when questioned about his role in the attack.

After Vick collapsed, so did the Counselor.  The Counselor scored only 10 points on offense in the game, and if not for a huge game from Charles Woodson (24 points) the Counselor would have set a record for least points scored in the history of the Blue Ribbon League.

Fluffernutter, notorious for playing to the level of the competition they face, grinded out a win behind 20 points from QB Kyle Orton and 14 points from TE Dustin Keller.  It was the lowest score output for the Fluff this season, but the team still escaped with the victory over the division opponent.

The Counselor (1-3) will try to regroup this week at home against a struggling Riggins (1-3) team.  Fluffernutter (4-0) will look to keep their winning streak alive as they host the upstart Purple Hurricanes (3-1).
