I don’t like Brett Favre

There’s one thing that my mind cannot comprehend when it comes to Brett Favre. I find the man love that is thrown his way to be almost like a Greek style homosexual attraction. Too macho to admit their admiration of his looks, play style, and wrangler commercials, every analyst I see makes excuses for the fact that not only is he way over the hill, but that his played well one year in the last five. You know what I remember when I think of Brett Favre the last 5 years? I remember him throwing two game ending interceptions in both championship games he got into. Still, his never killed for his terrible play like other players. What I find MOST annoying is that this tends to flow past the typical sports analyst and fill into regular sports fans. I have heard some people make the argument that Cal Ripken Jr’s Iron Man streak was actually detrimental to his team, but often, these same people never seem to point this out about Favre. It has been widely reported by ESPN that Favre played extremely well with the Jets leading them to an 8 to 3 record before he hurt his arm…. So let me think about what that means… doesn’t that mean he played knowing he was injured and hurting his team? So why won’t a SINGLE person on ESPN point out that he should have sat out, that he simply played to keep his streak alive? And this is 10x worse than Cal Ripken because in the NFL, a single game makes all the difference, where the reality of baseball tells us that one out of a 150+ games makes absolutely no difference in the overall outcome of a season. And good Lord, spare me “he just wants to play the game,” bullshit, I think he needs to see a shrink for multiple personality disorder. On one hand, his a good ol country boy who plays the game with the enthusiasm of a kid, and on the other his a diva who can’t make up his mind, who likes to have all the attention on himself, who believes he should be exempt from doing any preseason work, and has spoiled the good will he had in GB with his revenge talk.
