No more calling out the mainstream media for Favremania, mmmkay?

The Jets released Brett Favre from their "reserve/retired" list yesterday, an auspicious move considering so far as I can tell players on the R/R list don't count against roster or salary caps, but ordinarily a fairly routine move, at least for any player not named Brett Favre.

So naturally you'd expect plenty of "does this mean he's thinking of coming back?" speculation from ESPN and the like, and you'd expect the blogosphere to do plenty of "there they go again, obsessing over Brett Favre" and thumbing their nose because they're so above that...

...hold on, it appears the number 1 topic on SportsCenter's "Blog Buzz" segment this morning was Favre's release. Seems not even the blogosphere is immune to Favremania when a plane traveling between Minneapolis and Hattiesburg and back again sends them going "OMG OMG OMG IT ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH BRETT FAVRE BECAUSE HE IS THE ONLY PERSON IN ALL OF HATTIESBURG THAT EVER HAS TO TRAVEL OMG!!!!!11!!1!!!eleven!"
