Is ESPN Overdosing The Public On Brett Farve?

We know Brett Farve's hero status extends even beyond the borders of the state of Wisconsin, but at what point does media coverge go beyond normal bounds to the absurd? I think media coverage of Brett Farve's soap opera of whether he will or whether he note has long since spiraled out of control and pushed many of us to the break of nausea. Farve proved last season that he certainly is still a productuive an dynamic quarterback (albeit flawed as all of us human beings are in one way or another), one capable of leading a team to big things, but this has gotten out of hand. is it any wonder professional athletes tire of the media when you have to answer the same questions over and over again? How annoyed must quarterback Aaron Rodgers be every time he has to answer questions about whether Farve will return and what will that mean to his status as the Pack's quarterback of the future? Sure, Rodgers is a professional athlete, but it must be irritating to answer the same questions over and over again ... the same is true for the Packers' coaching staff and front office leadership. Farve will make the decision he needs to make, but hopefully he will make it soon so that we can move on from the drama and get into soem real football. I have to think this Farve situation can be covered without turning it into some dramatic sports vigil where every single move is documented.
