Peapod.com Has Nothing on Favre
Although no one’s naming names, according to the New York Times Greg Bishop, it seems that someone in the Jets locker room recently had some fun at the expense of ILB Eric Barton, Barton’s locker and a rather large … and rather dead galliform.
Barton could not remember whether it happened last week or the week before. Nor did he know exactly what kind of dead animal Favre shot (presumably), bagged and dumped inside Barton’s locker.
Some teammates believe it was a wild turkey, but regardless, they all gathered around Barton’s locker and engaged in fits of laughter. The dead animal was inside a bag that was filled with blood and guts.
“It definitely had the wow factor,” said left guard Alan Faneca, whose locker is next to Barton’s. “I’ve never had a dead animal brought into the locker room, so yeah, it’s up there.”
Barton did tell Bishop that he had no plans for retaliation, but did say that “I hope that the animal rights activists find out about it, whoever did it, that cruel person.”
Now that this story is out, I give it two days before PETA is protesting in Florham Park.

my thoughts? he’s on defense, he’s one of the team’s most veteran players, he’s known as a jokester / loudmouth type … everyone loves him, so he’s a perfect target.

I love the jokes and everything, but if PETA only takes two days to respond to this I will be surprised. There probably rallying in florham as I write this. Think this will have a negative impact on the team?

One time a PETA protest was taking place at Roosevelt Field. I think there was a sale on expensive furs or something that weekend. They had surrounded Roosevelt Field and at one point, walked in front of traffic at a red light (I was the first car at the light) and put down cones and set up a ladder to hang up a sign at the intersection on the outskirts of Roosevelt Field.
I had to Boston friends from college in my car, trying to catch a train (should have let those Pats fans miss their train!). So anyway, I yell at the Hippy to move the G-Damned cone. He said “no” in a really geeky and nervous voice, so I got up and threw the cone to the side and got back into the car. People in the other cars were cheering. He ran and picked it back up and put it in front of my car, and then stood in front of my car with his arms crossed. I revved the engine and put the gas on for a second and he jumped out of the way, so I ran over his cone and kept driving, with raucous cheers from my fans in the other cars.
Meanwhile, the other turd was on the ladder in between lanes of traffic. The other cars took my lead and started just driving around him. The guy’s sign fell and he was like wobbling and terrified as the cars whizzed by. It was my finest moment.

Well the clown Farve is at it again. I hope he makes a joke before the Cincy game so that when it is a close game at the end (that meaning he has a bad game and the defense wins it) he will finally shut up and team stability can finally be restored. The clown will cry soon just wait.

PETA once protested the name of the town of Fishkill, NY. They said the name incited cruelty to animals (fish), that was until it was revealed that Fishkill is an old Dutch word for stream. They went away quietly.

Fonzie is the same person as Hank/Naples. I guess 6 TD’s and good team chemistry isn’t enough for Fonzie. He’d rather have CP throwing 10 yd. passes.

Fonzie, you are right on! If Chad were still here, he would have grabbed that turkey and brought it back to life, and everyone on the team would’ve cried then laughed and then they would’ve gone out and won the Super Bowl. Favre just can’t measure up.

DSmizzle, you dear sir, are a legend
Why Barton?
