Last month, when Brett Favre once again said that he was retiring and was finished with football, I had a feeling how this whole scenario was going to play out.
It was much less-publicized, but before the start of 2007 season, Giants DE Michael Strahan told the team that he was walking away. Turns out that a few weeks later, Strahan returned - all he wanted was to skip Training Camp and sleeping in dorm rooms.

Is Favre an upgrade over Sage Rosenfels and Tavaris Jackson? Absolutely.

Does this move make the Vikings a better team than the Steelers, Patriots, Giants, Eagles, or Colts? I'm not ready to go there.

What happened to THIS Brett Favre?.
Brett Favre used to be Joe American, the "everyman" with the two-day old beard, vicodin addiction and Wrangler jeans, who was all about the team and playing football for the fun of the game. It's only taken him 14 months to destroy that image and turn into a selfish, ME-securing-MY-legacy primadonna who is trying to carry out a childish vendetta against the Green Bay Packers. Oh, and all the while, he holds NFL fans and the media hostage as to whether he'll play or retire.

You can play this year, Brett - I don't care. Play til 2015 if you want.
.
But when you're finally done, go away.
.
And please, never come back.
Here is what I think about Favre...Don't Care, Don't Care, Don't Care...
ReplyDeleteIf the Vikings are desperate enough (and Sage Rosenfels and Tavaris Jackson might make anyone desperate) to sign a 40 year old QB with a bum shoulder, then they deserve the 1:1 TD to INT ratio they are undoubtedly going to get with him.
From an on-the-field standpoint, the move makes sense.
ReplyDeleteFavre is an upgrade from Rosenfels and Jackson, so he makes the Vikings better. But, at this point in his career, I still think he's a middle-tier QB at best.
