Come on, Brett, just drop the ball already.

Alternate title: FavreWatch, week 10.

Another week in the NFL, another new set of Brett Favre records. He threw some passes, some of which were caught for yardage. One for a touchdown. Including the post-season, he made his 300th career start. Three hundred in a row.

He did fail to extend his interceptions record (Peyton Manning’s catching up!). He also failed to make any headway on the all-time NFL fumbles record. Again.

What the hell, Brett? Come on, man, you’re only three fumbles away from tying the all-time record. Four away from breaking it. How hard is this? Just drop the ball a few times. You don’t even have to lose the ball. Just…you know, once your’e a couple touchdowns up, fumble the snap and fall on it. You had a perfect opportunity this weekend. You were playing Detroit, fer cry-eye. If there was ever a team that you could afford a few fumbles against, it’s them.

But no. You let the chance slide right through your fingers like the footballs you should be dropping.

Is it me? Is it because I keep writing about it? Is the constant glare of the TrogloSpotlight making you nervous?

I guess we could always stop talking about the fumbles record and pick up tracking the sacks record, instead. Okay, we’ll do that. Instead of mentioning, week in and week out, that Brett only needs 4 more fumbles to become the NFL’s all-time fumbles leader, we’ll start counting down to 517 sacks, which will be the new NFL all-time record just as soon as Brett gets sacked 29 more times.

With seven games to go, that’s a little over 4 sacks per game. Possible. Very, very possible.

Go Brett!
