What is it with people? You fans that get bummed because a old veteran that had a sparkling career and just wants to keep playing, even if he is not very good anymore, have got to get a life.
If Brett wants to play, why should he not be allowed to play? He still has to make the cut, get a contract, all the usual things. If he does this stuff then why are YOU worried about his all time stats suffering?
Hey, just don’t pick Favre for your fantasy league quarterback, if it is bothering you.
And you fans that insist a great player must stay on the same team better remember Brett was on Atlanta’s team.
That still does not stop you, does it?
There is something very unsettling about the image of Brett Favre wearing a uniform that doesn’t belong to the Green Bay Packers.
There’s also something unsettling about the soap opera that’s playing out between Favre and the Packers.
Still you persist.
In a perfect world, Favre stays retired. He is among those athletes who should be associated with one team. When you think of Ted Williams, it’s in a Red Sox uniform. The same with Bill Russell and the Celtics or John Elway and the Broncos.
There’s something special about that, and there’s something terribly wrong picturing Favre in Carolina blue, Minnesota purple or in any helmet that doesn’t have a G on the side.
Guess what, YOU are not Brett Favre.
Brett Favre is Brett Favre. He can do what he wants. He can change his mind if he wants.
