Favre - UGH
The latest news on Brett Favre is disturbing. Who knows how much of the story is true, but it doesn’t matter. Even if he didn’t spend the full 90 minutes on the phone with the DET staff, and despite the reality that the Packers still won the game with ease, Favre is at fault, or is he? Favre is acting like a 3-year old (and yes, I have some experience here with the analogy). He didn’t get his way, so he is basically throwing a tantrum. Is that his fault? Is it more an indication with the way professional athletes, namely superstar athletes are treated throughout their lives? Certainly, since 1995, when Favre led an up and coming team to the NFC Championship game, Favre has been coddled…..by his coaches, by the media, by the fans…. When Thompson decided that he wanted to go with Rodgers instead of Favre, because he believed that Rodgers gave the Packers a better chance to win in 2008, Favre couldn’t handle it.
He needs the Packers and Aaron Rodgers to fail. It is not enough that he has shown with the Jets that he is still a capable QB. When Rodgers went out with all the hype on opening Monday Night against a very good defense in Minnesota, and carved them up in a near perfect performance, Favre was noticably pissed. Didn’t matter that the Jets won… he was more concerned with the Packers, and Rodgers failing. How will it look if Rodgers takes “his team” to the Super Bowl… we’ll have to wait and see, but it doesn’t surprise me in the least that Favre is giving his all to sabatoge TT And AR….
