Last Friday, we offered you - our faithful reading audience - a chance to dictate some important editorial decisions affecting your & my favorite site on the whole World Wide Web (besides GARFIELD MINUS GARFIELD). Namely, which sports celebrity figure SbB should shun for a full month. The choices were Brett Favre, Danica Patrick, Erin Andrews, LeBron James, Shaquille O’Neal and Terrell Owens. Well, the polls have closed, the results are in, and the chads are no longer hanging. And the winner is…

…already mentioned in the headline. Yes, Brett is hereby banned.

Well, just news about him. Brett himself is still allowed to visit our site to his heart’s content. However, for the next 30 days, SbB will be your sanctuary of freedom from any Favre-related foibles.

So, if Brett finally signs with the Vikings, remains home in Mississippi, or chooses to pursue a TV career (either taking the T.O. reality route or going Michael Strahan sitcom style), it’s not news to us - not until August 25, anyway.
