Whoa, whoa. Take it easy, folks. Try to keep this torrid headline pace up, and we’ll be on the sidelines gasping for air before training camp. I’m not going to link all the stories I’ve seen regarding Joe Mack and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, but here’s a look at some of the headline offerings we’ve been served up to this point:

Meet Joe Mack
Mack to the Future
Mack in the Box
Mack in the Saddle Again
New GM not a Mack-iavellian guy
Return of the Mack

Currently we are waiting on these:

Big Mack Attacks
Mack Uses the Knife
Mack Keeps on Truckin’
The Mack Daddy Jumps
Mackie’s Back in Town
Mack in the Black
You Don’t Know Mack
Mack-tical Error
Cut the Bombers Some Mack
New Mack City
Mack-aroni Salad Hard to Digest

And many, many more!

Dear Mr. Brees,

You don’t know me and we’ve never met, but I feel like we share the same outlook on life. We both want to do the right thing in this world. Much like making a difference in the natural disaster-ravaged city you currently play football in, I too, share a similar ideal. I just want to see people smile. A nice smile, a grin or even a smirk, can make all the difference in the world, don’t you agree?

People tell me that I have a nice smile. You have a nice smile, too. See how much alike we are? We also share the same goal this weekend. We can agree that the NFL — the league, the media, the fan base — can do without Brett Favre in the Super Bowl. Imagine how terrible that would make everyone feel, knowing the entire week would consist of Favre. Did you know that he came out of retirement to play this year? Haha.

There’s not much I can do to stop this from happening on my end, so I’m reaching out to you and your team now. You have the power. You can make it happen. Only you, Drew, can make my dream of a Favre-less Super Bowl, the shared dream of millions of football fans not easily taken by the greatness that Peter King or Joe Buck mistakenly state as fact, a reality. Good luck. I’ll be rooting for you.

God Bless you, Drew Brees. And Godspeed.
