I've always liked Brett Favre. He was always one of those players that was worth tuning in to watch because you never really knew what might happen. He might throw 3 interceptions and then single-handedly win the game by himself, all in the same game.
But, I hate the way most of the media has deified him over the years. The amount of time ESPN spent this summer hanging on his every move (will he un-retire? will he play for the Packers? where is he going? what color underwear is he wearing? etc.) was completely embarrassing. I have a felling that Favre's fanboys in the press are in complete shock and denial that his teamates are basically comming out and saying "You know what, we really don't give a damn if he comes back or not. He sucked down the stretch". I'm sure Tony Kornhole, Chris Berman, and the rest of those guys are going to start making every excuse imaginable for Favre and start ripping the Jets for not retiring his number during the last game. I forget who it was but I already heard somebody on ESPN blaming Eric Mangina for Thomas Jones's comments.
