The Onion has its say on Favre's record
No, not the NFL career record for touchdown passes.
Rather, the NFL career record for interceptions.
The folks at The Onion have poked some gentle fun at Packers quarterback Brett Favre in a mock story headlined "Dan Marino Hosts Hour-Long HBO Special Celebrating Favre's Interceptions."
Truth be told, the satirical piece says more about Marino's ego than it does Favre's record.
An excerpt:
"Marino began work on Mr. 278 late in the 2006 season, when it became apparent that Favre was on pace to break Blanda's interception record, as well as Marino's for touchdown passes, sometime in the 2007 season. When HBO producers balked at the idea of expanding their original planned 30-second supporting segment, Marino offered to work the show without pay and secured advertising commitments from NutriSystem, Papa John's Pizza, and Isotoner gloves."
