I don't know about you guys, but I am sick of the lovefest and butt kissing going on in the media, especially the evil empire (aka, ESPN) with Brett Favre. C'mon people get real here. He was a very good quarterback, a great leader, but nowhere near one of the best of all times. Heck he is not even one of the best two in today's game. Don't agree, OK, you can honestly tell me that you would have rather had Favre running your team than Peyton Manning or Tom Brady. Yeaaaahhhhh Right.
Now don't go thinking that I am hating on Brett. I have enjoyed watching him at Green Bay during his career. But let's be honest, he is nothing more than Dan Fouts or Dan Marino with a Super Bowl ring. Think about it, those guys were gunslingers who carried their teams to AFC Championships by making their offences potent while having woefully bad defenses. Neither of them ever had a Warren Sapp on the other side to lead the "D". Give either of them a top five defense and maybe they have one ring like Favre does. In fact, they could have had more when you consider that Favre is the all time leader in interceptions and an argument could be made that he cost the Packers at least one trip to another Super Bowl with bad interceptions.
Yet, despite all of this ESPN decides to treat us to a lovefest with full coverage of all the tears and everything and then have the nerve to try and say he may be one of the best alltime quarterbacks. ALLTIME? Hello, McFly is anybody home? Favre was a great quarterback; why can't we just let it end at that?
