Sure, some will claim foul play with how he and left and that is fine - the reason for rampant hatred of him is because he played for Minnesota above all else. You think he is going to ever admit that was a mistake? Should eh admit it? He had the best statistical season of his entire career playing for them.
I never get mad at players being selfish and making selfish decisions because that is the nature of the game, and that is the nature of humans. Yes, it's well known I respect Favre the player and I do not condone his off the field actions, but he played for and almost took our enemies to the SB. Without saying publicly that was a mistake, us fans will always boo him - even 10 years later, even if in that 10 years he apologizes for the will he wont he stuff.
I never expect him to admit that was mistake, because 2009 was one of his best seasons ever. He shouldn't feel bad about it. It just went to show you that once your off that field on sunday - the players aren't as big into rivalries as the fans. We may hate minn, does that mean if we cut Driver he would hate minn if they persued him? Hardly - this is a business, players don't get too wrapped up in that stuff once you get off the field.
