NFL to disband to prevent Brett Favre from returning to the NFL

         NFL commissioner Roger Goodell announced today that the league will disband and cease operations in a desperate attempt to prevent quasi-retired quarterback Brett Favre from returning to play again.

         “We are at DEFCON 1 right now,” said Goodell. “We can’t let Brett Favre make a mockery of this league yet again, so we are taking proactive measures and shuttering the NFL. Look at it as though we are entering our bomb shelter for as long as we need to until the threat of nuclear holocaust passes.”

         Goodell has informed union personnel of the pending shutdown.

         “The players union is 100-percent behind the commissioner on this,” said union chief DeMaurice Smith. “Every time Brett Favre unretires, he takes a job away from a player who had a roster spot. Also, he is a complete dickhead and presents a bad image of NFL players to the public.”

         Goodell has not received unanimous support for his decision from team owners – namely, Vikings owner Zygi Wilf is against the shutdown – but feels the move is necessary to prevent the ultimate destruction of the league.

         “Not all of our owners want the salary cap either,” said Goodell. “Jerry Jones wishes there was no salary cap so he could just buy every top player. But for the good of the league we have a salary cap. And, for the good of the league, we will end the league to save the country from another round of Brett Favre. And one glorious day in the future when Brett Favre mercifully dies, the NFL will be back.”

         But Favre says the absence of the NFL will not prevent him from returning to the NFL.

         “I am calling their bluff,” said Favre. “The NFL is not closing down. And, even if it does, a new league will spring up right away. Roger Goodell should know that I have already received calls from defensive backs around the NFL saying that they’ll play in any league I play in. Brett Favre is never going away. Ever. The NFL should have realized this by now. Because everyone else has.”
