Eh...
I'll admit I have less respect for him than I did a few years ago...
But I don't really hate the guy, or find him "awful."
"Annoying" is the harshest term I'd ascribe him...someone "aweful" is, say, Mel Gibson:
Brett may have left a year too late--and I say JUST a year too late since the year before last he had his best season ever with the Vikings, and he was doing well with the Jets in the first half before the whole team fumbled things away, so really it was just last year that was a sorry exit, in my opinion--and he's been wAY too much of a prima donna of late...
But I DO cut him slack for the simple reason that...he's Brett Favre and, until last year, he could back up his bullshit with great plays on the field.
That's the Muhammad Ali, Terrell Owens life-philosophy I hold and operate by:
As long as you can put up, you don't have to shut up.
As long as Brett was putting up big numbers, I didn't care how much he blathered or cried or went on about how unfair they were to him--in his view--in Green Bay at the end.
(Now, ME...
I suppose I just never shut up and don't have much of a justification for that except...well...I like talking, and it's a short life to live and a long death to sleep through, so damnit, I'm gonna enjoy my talking times!) :)
Fools Rush In: Game 67704
. I notice three players have voted to draw already, how disappointing. This is one game I would like to see played to the death.
