Are you sick of Brett Favre's annual dramatics regarding his future in the NFL? So is his agent, Bus Cook. Cook told Men's Journal that he was not happy with Favre's decision to tell Ed Werder of ESPN in late April that he would need ankle surgery in order to play in 2010. Cook used the instance as a reason to blast both his star client and the reporter. "Brett talked to god------ Ed Werder at ESPN, says he needs ankle surgery," Cook told the magazine. "Now why did he do that? I've got [Vikings coach Brad] Childress calling. I've got reporters calling all d--- morning. God------, why does he have to be such a god------ drama queen? Play, don't play, god----, people are getting sick of it. I'm getting sick of it!" Cook continued. "Why does he have to talk to these people? What good does it do? Ed Werder at ESPN! What's he ever done for anybody other than say, 'Look, look, Mommy, I got this first, ain't I special?' You got problems with surgery, talk to your wife. Why talk to god------ Ed Werder?"

It's the way/tone Bus talks about and to Brett. "Hey, Bus," says Favre.nHe speaks slowly, a boy trying to delay a spanking. "I guess I screwed up. I didn't think it was a big deal. I just told him that I might need surgery. He made it into a big thing." Bus stares him down, but his face crumples into an exasperated grin. "Jesus, Brett. You never learn. You guys go talk. I've got god**mn phone calls to make." He pokes a finger at Brett. "Thanks to you." The ankle surgery kerfuffle - getting the procedure done, the speculation goes, may indicate he's coming back - is just the latest production number in year three of "Will He or Won't He Play," Favre's one-man show. At this point everyone is counting ceiling tiles and looking at their watches. "You'd think I'd know better by now," he says. He offers a different kind of smile: sad and weary. "I've learned a lot through the years. What I haven't learned is what I'll do and when I'll do it." In the August 2010 Issue: Brett Favre|Men’s Journal
The man's got a point though. No need to put all that crap in the media. Just do what you do and call it a day. And seriously, it's July 19th and no one knows what he's going to do, it's g--damned ridiculous!!!
