Not that funny...
Letterman couldn't pass on tweaking Favre with 'Top 10'
Brett Favre landing with the Minnesota Vikings this week was fodder for David Letterman's most recent Top 10 list.
The host of CBS-TV's "Late Show" had sport with Favre with his list Wednesday night and seemed to display some local knowledge with a couple of the reasons (see Nos. 6 and 2).
Now, with that signature drum roll, here are the "Top 10 reasons Brett Favre came out of retirement":
10 - Blew his savings on a two-day taco binge.
9 - No reason to stay home every day now that "Guiding Light" has been canceled.
8 - Worried Obama's death panels might try to take him out.
7 - In this economy, someone offers you a job, you grab it.
6 - Wants to raise and then dash hopes of another city's fans.
5 - Couldn't' take another trip to Pottery Barn with his wife.
4 - Lured by a lucrative contract and free jar of Icy Hot.
3 - Concussions made me krazy!
2 - Who could resist chance to spend glorious winter in Minnesota?
1 - Oh, oh, wait. He just retired again.
