And then he got caught with his dick in his hand. Favre lied to his wife, cheated on her, tried to sabotage his former teammates by giving info to a former rival, tried to punish his former team for trading him away because it didn't happen on his terms. What do you think it's like when Dianna doesn't do things on Baby-Bert's terms? You think he finds ways to punish/get back at her? He's really immature. I feel bad for him because that's a tough way to live, but I also don't think his actions are acceptable and he needs to be held accountable for them. The Packers held him accountable for his retirement threats (and let's be honest, that's probably what they were. If you don't do it the way I like, I'll retire.) He probably thought he was special enough to pull that kind of stunt, but the Packers called the bluff. Ok, you're retired, fine, we're done with you and we're going with AR. More than anything, I think that whole situation was a major punch in his inflated ego. Favre was knocked down a notch. Rather than accept reality (that he's not a golden god of football) he threw a fit and blamed everyone else. It's a burden to have to be the best. The minute he can put that down and come back to humanity, the weight will be off of his chest and he'll just be happy with his place in history. He'll be able to show up, be a part of things, enjoy time with his old teammates. HE's not there yet though, unfortunately for everyone. His career is great enough and long enough, it should be celebrated with the people who were there. It's a fucking shame, honestly. It's a shame for us, because I think we'd all like to cheer for the guy. He's immature, like a little kid. Sometimes, if a person doesn't realize it, it can cause the person to be really hurtful. But sometimes, that same person can be infectious, like a little kid, and make life a joy for those around him. Favre can do both. He's very passionate. It's wonderful and sad at the same time. Hopefully he can find a way to grow in some areas while keeping the other parts of him in tact. He's not bad, he's just not all grown up like most adults and some of it is causing problems in his life (as well as the lives of people close to him).
