I plan on going and enjoying it. I've come around to the point that I realize it's probably been pretty hard for Favre to stay humble or not be a Diva when he has people kissing all his body parts all the time. When you look at a lot of Divas, they all share in common one thing: a cadre of adoring fans/sycophants who refuse to see any flaws in their dear leader. Favre is responsible for some/ a lot of this, but when ESPN allows Deanna to recite her Favre poetry twice in one broadcast, you have to ask yourself "What chance has the guy got?" The things that we all liked about Favre haven't changed much, unfortunately, we got to see too much behind the curtain and too much into the nature of the rest of his family. One wonders if the Favre downward slide into diva territory didn't really start or accelerate until 'Ole Irv bought the farm.

I've felt this way for a couple of years. Once Irv died, Favre was surrounded by yes people. Deanna, Bus Cook, the guy from the Biloxi newspaper. This can screw up anyone's mind. When you have people heaping adulation on you, you need someone to keep you grounded. I think that was Irv. When Irv was around, Favre always showed great respect for his coaches and the people running the Packer organization. That kind of dissipated in his later years.

Hilarious to hear even Aynrand making excuses for the guy. What ever happened to good old fashioned personal responsibility? Does Bert get a pass on that too?

As I've noted time will heal all wounds and most of you will start respecting the guy enough to call him by his real name again some time after he retires.

Well, except Scott Campbell

**Scott Campbell** · 01-31-2010, 03:14 PM

That's the great thing about last Sunday. Time can't reverse that clutch choke job that kept his team out of the Superbowl. It's etched in stone for eternity.

But we all are still on for going to Sharper's induction and chanting 4th and 26?

I wonder if he will take a bad angle to the podium and end up sitting in Steve Young's lap.

Most Famous Quote Of All Time About Brett Favre:

A) He's like a kid out there.
B) He's like a linebacker in a QB's body.
C) He's the most entertaining QB in history.
D) THIS IS NOT DETROIT!!!

It's truly amazing what you can do to your legacy with one amazingly boneheaded play.

I'd have started a poll on this if it were still legal.

The reason you are an ideologue is because you choose to read only that which agrees with your perspective.

While I might agree this was his worst play of them all, most do remember that that the poor play is just a small portion of why MN is not going to the Super Bowl. Even if he does what he should Longwell still needs to nail a long field goal.....and I don't even need to remind..even you...of all the blunders by everyone else in that game...fumbles...calls...etc

Reminds me that I'm the odd bird

I'm happy when Sharper does well as well as Favre

l.

Or ten. It's interesting. Even the NFLN, which has a long history of licking Favre's anus, had a hard time wrapping their sycophantic player-apologetic arms around the Favre detonation in N.O. However, when they replayed the radio broadcast, they deliberately cut off Paul Allen before his (should be) famous line.

A week later and it's still priceless.

I wonder if I can make that into a ring tone for my cell phone.

More support for Brett from the purple faithful:

Agreed.

The remainder of the blame lays squarely on his character issues finally catching up with him.

**Packerarcher** · 01-31-2010, 04:42 PM

As I said before it was a terrible play and about the only one of the game that was a bad one for Brett. But they were at least in the NFC championship game,where again were Mcstubby,TT,and the rest of the Packer org during that game. OH,that's right at home watching it on tv.
