You may be right. And really, he doesn't even have to - there are all kinds of guys in the media that carry his water for him - Steve Young, etc. - they blab all the time how the Packers haven't given him enough weapons, etc. Perhaps the problem is that Favre believes what they say and listens to them too much - hell, he played another year because of what Phil Simms said on a radio show, right?

Look, the bottom line is that Favre is pretty emotional - wears his heart on his sleeve - and he's not the sharpest tool in the woodshed. More reasons why he should just shut up.
