I just don’t understand the lines like “Tarnished his legacy” this is a game, if you can play an you are good and teams want you to play for them how is that a tarnished legacy? I guess because most men have become gelded and see sports as a surrogate to release their battle instinct. This isn’t like a general in the military defecting to another nation, this is a game, and unless you are a consumate cheater like Pete Rose is fails to register to this mind as to how a legacy can be tarnished playing a game.

This article represents the standard boilerplate of mudslinging on Favre, although I appreciate the highlighting of TT’s incompetence. The adjectives of “childish” are simply out of place and really apply to people who write such rubbish.

“Sometimes players need to have someone make sure that they stay in line and hold up to their decisions.” Oh? Is this a matter of life and death? Will the universe implode? Will a hundred people in the Middle East die because of a suicide bomber? Or is sports merely a pasttime–and a self-correcting one, where when someone can’t play the game anymore they end up released–because they can’t play the game? And when Brett’s seventy, will he ever have another opportunity to come back and address the what-ifs again? I mean, are you so certain of reincarnation, or does a man need to make the most of his time when he has it? And would you deprive we fans in Minnesota of OUR chance to win a Super Bowl out of your own spite? I don’t hear anyone “spoiled” when I hear Brett Favre–I see someone who honors our franchise by giving us our chance in exchange for giving him another. Yet I hear plenty of spoiled Green Bay fans like yourself, looking anywhere but in the mirror to avoid your on culpability in not rising up in rebellion against Thompson and his petty regime. Win it all, or lose in a game last try, count most of us here in Minnesota as grateful for whatever Brett Favre can give. Something those in green and gold can’t say.

There are two well known Packers (who won more championships that Favre) who waffled just as bad… Taylor did it four times!!! He left the pack because they didn’t want him and he wanted the Vikes. He left the Jets,…because he still wanted the vikes….

After reading the recently published ESPN article quoting Ted Thompson “I could see Brett and I being best friends someday or at least golfing buddies”, Brett sent Ted the following text message “Ted, sorry about ruining your season, its just business ya know. Good luck in all your future endeavors. –BFF TTFN”

Excited, Ted replied back to the message, “Thanks Brett I am glad we can put this behind us, is there any way we can make a press announcement together showing everyone we have buried the hatchet?” to which Favre replied back “You dumbass, BFF TTFN doesn’t stand for Best Friends Forever Ta Ta For Now, it stands for Brett Favre Forever Ted Thompson For Now!

Why does anyone care who retires and how many times they come back? If you don’t have anything else to write about…keep quiet…really! You are one of those people who complain about nothing and then act like it’s a major crime. Stop your crying….really! Articles like yours are the the reason no one can stand to hear about Farve anymore. Anyone who REALLY loves the game of football thinks it’s great Farve is playing…if he goes belly up and comes back next year more power to him. It’s not because of him it’s because of the medias moaning, groaning and throwing tantrums through articles like this one….THIS is what people are really sick of…..grow up….Really!

Your first few questions you answer yourself in your third & fourth paragraphs.

But then you kinda go off the deep end, at the end of your fourth paragraph you say that what Favre SHOULD HAVE done (what you would have doen?) was something far worse than the course he actually took. You said Favre should have just publicly said that he hated Thompson, would not play for him, and make the fans choose between the two?!? Wow, thank god favre was more mature than that. THAT woudlhave been awful.

Then in the fifth paragraph you go and say something that isn’t even true — that Favre said after that Chicago game he was retiring. Uh, he cried, and he posed for a foto with his o-linemen, but he never said he was retiring. Why are you making things up.

I didn’t read past that point I confess.
