Florio: "Favre more diva than good old boy"

[The Leaper]

In THIS INSTANCE he is acting like a TO or others who hold themselves above the team. He has not earned the right to turn this whole thing into the circus that it has become.

I agree with this as well...but do you ignore the other 16 seasons and conclude that Favre is entirely prima donna?

I don't.

Owens, Ocho Cinco...they have a PATTERN of behavior over years and years. Favre is struggling with this situation, but otherwise he's been a Packer we all can be proud of. Dragging him through the mud because of this is over the top IMO.

Yeah, but it's Florio.

This is like Christmas, Easter, and the 4th of July for that little Viking loving weasel.

Toss in New Years, too.

He would cream himself if BF went to the Queens.

You wanna see a Favre apologist?, wait til Brett had on Viking silks.

When has Favre burned bridges with 2 separate NFL franchises?

Don't forget his refusal to report to Baltimore, so that would make 3 teams he's affected in his career. Just waiting for a blow-up in Dallas.

I say this pattern has occurred since Mike Sherman became head coach. His enabling began what we are seeing now. He let Brett do whatever he wanted, when he wanted, and excused every mistake Brett made in games no matter how boneheaded it was. THere was a falt out refusal to do anything about it as I recall Sherman's imfamous "we're not going to anything to reign him in" statement to the press. ALl the excuses including, "The ball slipped out of his hands" or "Well you know he has a broken thumb". Its no wonder why Brett has the entitlement attitude. It also explains why Brett threatened to retire if Sherman was fired. Thats why he is mad at TT, becuase TT won't give him what Mike Sherman did. Favre just totally ran SHerman over and Sherman refused to anything about it. THen just looking at TT's tenure, this behavior has been very apparent with the Moss stuff. TO say this behavior has only happened this year is ludicrous.
