Can Favre Ever Rehabilitate His Image?

[The Shadow]

Maybe, in time, when memories fade strictly to plays made on the field.
Personally, I will never be able to hear his name without remembering #4 unmasked.

I think some folks do well to never let us know too much about them.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Yes.

[Lurker64]

I definitely doubt I will ever hold Favre in as high esteem now as I did, say, after the Seahawks game this year. I'll hold less antipathy for him eventually, but I believe that this debacle isn't going to go away for Favre.

Unmasked?

Let it go Shadow...your hatred is getting creepy.

[Bretsky]

yes

[Gunakor]

Of course he will. There's no question about it. But it will take more time for some than it will for others. Either way, he's a lock for the Hall 5 years after his retirement, and after that all most football fans will remember are the special things he was able to do on a football field.

You're right. The less we know about you, the better.

[BallHawk]

99% of it.

He can't make this go away, pretend it never happened. But as long as he doesn't burn any more bridges throughout his life he'll still be remembered as one of the greatest Packers ever.

Yes.

Yes, but not to a crypt keeper like yourself.

To those of you saying "yes" are you saying:

"I believe Brett can become a beloved public figure again"

or

"I believe that everyone will forget that this ever happened and they will think as highly of Brett in retrospect as they ever did."

Since I believe sincerely that eventually, I will think highly of Brett again but I doubt that I don't doubt that this debacle will continue to tarnish his image at least a little, especially when you view it in light of the "Retirement(Y/N)" saga of the last 5-6 years or so. There is no doubt that Favre will go down as a brilliant QB on the field, but the off-field stuff has to damage the legend at least a little.

Oh, come on. Of course everyone'll get over it. No one will even remember any of this in thirty years - they'll just remember the great QB of the Green Bay Packers.

Hell, nobody even remembers all of Bart Starr's arrests and drug and alcohol addictions, or that time he got caught with that donkey in that barn in Waupaca.

After a couple of years, it all just fades away.

I'll never forget our magical night! Oh, Bart!

Shadow, I think we just re-wrote history for all of our young posters.
