The reason Favre flamed out in New Orleans was to free up his schedule to hightail it back to the ranch to see Elin, who is in the area for some heart-to-heart time with her rehabbing hubby, who is conveniently not in Los Angeles where a Brangelina melt-down appears imminent and Jay Leno skulks back onto The Tonight Show set as Conan parties courtesy of a lucrative NBC kiss-off, while just down the road Phil attempts to shoulder the load for an ailing PGA in the absence of said Tiger, who is trying to straighten out his train wreck of a life just down the road from Rancho Favre.

Coincidence? I think not.
