As a member of the sports media, there are times when I feel disconnected with mainstream sports reporting (read: ESPN), and times when I roll my eyes at the things athletes and coaches say. The past few weeks have included both these situations, headlined by Brett Favre and Rick Pitino.\nFirst, I am sick and tired of everything Brett Favre. I know you are, too, so I will keep this part brief. But seriously, ESPN, do we really need up-to-the-second reporting about this guy? We all know that he waffled for many months, retired, unretired, retired, unretired, upset a few franchises, etc. But considering ESPN's obsession with the new Vikings quarterback, a Pedro Gomez-type might as well follow Favre around
