Up Yours- Brett Favre

Who the hell does this guy think he is. Seriously Brett? AGAIN?! 

As if last summer's drama wasn't enough. Now you're back for another Oscar worthy performance. This egotistical maniac just has to have the spotlight on him at all times.

I'm done....no seriously I'm done.

I'm done....but I may be interested soon.

I'm done....but I'm interested.

I don't think I'm done....there may be something in the tank.

I thought I was ready....but I thought things over again, and I'm done.

Ok I'm ready to come back, any takers?

I hated Brett Favre as a Packer. I hated Brett Favre as a Jet. And I'll hate Brett Favre as a Viking. 

People used to tell me, "There is no reason to hate on Favre. He's a hell of a player." 

Well duh! The effort he brings on each play is phenomenal and you're always guaranteed to get 100% out of Favre no matter the score. 

But from the beginning it was obvious to me, this guy just likes the lime light a little too much. He has to be witty at all of his press conferences. He's got to throw his arms in the air and run down the field after every touchdown. He cries, he farts, he picks his nose in the huddle. He has to be THE GUY on whatever team he's on. 

When the Packers drafted Aaron Rodgers with the 24th pick in the 2005 Draft, Favre was livid. He may not have said it bluntly, but deep down, it bothered him. Which is why he threatened retirement in '06- so people wouldn't ask him if this was Aaron Rodgers team. And why he threatened retirement in '07. And why he threatened retirement in '08. 

"Hey look at me, I'm still here! I just want to see if you guys still love me." 

And when Favre finally left Green Bay, he didn't even return calls to Rodgers who was seeking advice and wanted to wish his mentor good luck. 

People can't understand why he wants to come back now in '09. Why, why, why, would this great QB want to tarnish his brilliant career anymore.

Well it's pretty obvious to me. His ego once again.

For as many records as Favre owns, he's one of the worst-great QB's of all time when it comes to the big games. Don't believe me? Maybe Sal Paolantonio's article from last year will change your mind.

You want to know when I knew Favre wasn't going to retire the first time? 2 words- Corey Webster.

Are you kidding? Brett Favre end his career where his first pass started- on an interception? Haha, Brett just could not live with that. 

You want to know when I knew Favre wasn't going to retire after this last season? 2 words- Chad Pennington.

Are you kidding? Brett Favre end his career losing 4 out of his last 5 games to miss the playoffs, throwing 8 INT's to 2 TD's, the final dagger courtesy of the QB his Jets let go to get him? Haha, Brett just can not live with that.

Brett Favre still believes he's the Brett Favre of old and just can't give it up. It has nothing to do with him wanting to play the game of football he loves so much. It's that he has to go out with a golden game. John Elway had his and dammit, Brett wants his too.

The funniest part of it all is that that will never happen and Favre doesn't understand that his own ego is the Pompeii to his career. Destructive killer. 

Anyone who used to respect Favre, does not now and probably never will. 

SO BRETT FAVRE- UP YOURS PAL!
