Yet more proof that all Favre haters are cowards.

The following quotes are from NFL scouts, coaches and front-office personnel, speaking on condition of anonymity.
“Brett Favre should have retired three years ago. It’s all hype. (The Packers) are not that good. (Favre) can really throw it, but how about the poor decision-making that has defined his career? How come you don’t hear more about his record for having so many picks? The guy has had one helluva career — don’t get me wrong. But let’s call it what it is. A lot of guys get ripped for the same things he does. If one is going to get ripped, rip them all. If (Donovan) McNabb was throwing all those balls away, they would have run him out of Philly years ago and never talked about the b.s. receivers he has had to work with. The one year (McNabb) had a receiver, T.O. (Terrell Owens) got hurt. They were putting up great numbers and the kid got hurt. Then he comes back the next year, and he was lighting it up, and he got hurt. This year, everyone is coming down on him because of that interview (when he said he was treated differently as a black quarterback). And you know what, he was right. Brett Favre pulls that ‘I don’t know if I’m going to retire’ — and he does not get locked out of the building like (Steve) McNair did. Why don’t they tell him, until you decide, you are locked out. They are extra sensitive about his feelings. Brett is a great guy, but right is right, and wrong is wrong. He is holding the team hostage, too.”
Sounds more like a quote from a fan board to me.
