In a list of the most embarrassing and miserable ends? to a career, Brett Favre has to be on top.
I grew up in the Brett Favre years of the NFL when he was the man, i would pretend to be Favre and throw a football as hard as i could at the fence just like a Favre to Freeman combo. He was my favorite player for the later half of the 90’s and the early new millenium. His freewheelin style just made him seem like everybody, he enjoyed playing the game. He was not out there for the money or the fame but to play the game. He was living every kids dream. BUT THEN HE GOT OLD.
Old age changes people, and when Favre got close to the end he panicked. His admiration for the game made him unable to disconnect, he could not stop. One might think how noble, to want to play forever and help teams win. But reality has to set in at some point, you cannot play forever, with this revelation, I began to hate Brett Favre.
He could have gone out on top. Favre could have been a god in Wisconsin. I won’t go into the whole retirement story because it has been constantly on ESPN for over a year.
With his most recent “commitment” to retiring, brings a whole new speculation of a return. Favre needs to finish this story so i NEVER HAVE TO SEE HIM AGAIN. Sitting on the sidelines is not going to suit Favre and the speculation will return next summer and ruin my life just like it did this summer.
The Vikings, Packers, and Tarvaris Jackson have much more of a reason to hate Favre than I. Brett Favre tooled with the idea of signing with his former teams arch-rival for a whole summer only to say he is not coming back. How must Jackson feel now that he is clearly their second choice and the whole team has been calling Favre begging him to come play. His offensive linemen, the players who are suppose to protect Jackson, were calling Favre daily. The Packers watched their legend go and play for other people and tarnish his legacy with Packer fans. They lost their media darling cash cow.
Brett Favre or Sarah Palin- Who are you more annoyed with?
