Brett and Bus, just 2 good old boys that shoot from the hip and trust everyone.

Give me a break.

I can't believe that these city slicker media types take advantage of just a couple of humble Bubba's just to sell some magazines. Poor Bert.

[RashanGary]

Yup. Anyone who thought Bus was just fed up with Bert and there was no other reason for those words, they're just blissfully retarded. Bus gave this writer a story with Bert. In return, they were supposed to write the story a certain way.

Bert's whining about how he trusted them, but what he really means is that Bert gave him a story and the writer repays him by doing this? How dare they tell the truth.

Tiger has had that with the sports media for years. It's all part of getting access and having connections. Problem is, Mens Journal doesn't care if they never get another story. They'll just write the truth. There ya go, Bert.

When you're a lying scum bag with power, you can get away with it for a long time, but the truth has a funny way of catching up with just about all of us. The truth has caught up to Bert.

I look forward to this season. I have a feeling it's going to be a nice mixture of justice and tragedy for him.

You know I fully understand any and all reasons to dislike Brett Favre, but reducing him to a lying scum bag because the packers allowed him to get a diva attitude after his father passed, and then now all he does is what he wants to do and when he wants to do it, I don't think makes him a scum bag. The guy is human, and does what he wants because the people around him allow him too.

Truth has a funny way of catching up to him? Truth of what, that he is selfish like the rest of us? It's the end of the world!

Wow. Playing the victim card yet again. I like how it's only the people who don't know him are the ones saying negative things. If only you know Brett, you would only say positive things. Blechhh. To know him is to love him.

So I just watched it - I don't really know if he is blasting anyone per say, just that what was said was taken out of context. I mean, if Favre and Bus were both there with the reporter, wouldn't that make since? I doubt bus would ever, in a serious tone, say that stuff both inf ront of a reporter and Favre. So, I am almost inclinded to believe it was in a joking manner, and it showed that yeah they do indeed hear everything people are saying about Favre.

I guess it was a victim card, but really only in slight. It's pretty doubtful Bus was doing anything but Joking around about it with Favre there. Just sounds like it was taken out of context, which is absolutely nothing new for media to do. Favre was really just defending his agent. Wouldn't you?

[mraynrand]

Sorry, I can't agree. You heard the same thing I did - Favre basically said that only the people who 'don't know him' say bad things about him. I think we've gotten to know Favre pretty well. I like a lot about the guy, but I cringe at his victimization 'woe-is-me' stance - but I actually feel sorry for him to an extent because I think he really believes that he's 'above it all' and is blameless for any negative thing said about him. My guess is that has to result mostly from his protected in-a-bubble Diva status. Too bad.

I read the longer version. Bus said most of what he said before Favre walked in the door. Maybe he was joking, but if you don't want it printed, it's a damn stupid thing to say in front of a reporter. Even in jest.

Childress on Favre: "I don't know if he knows"

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/07/22/childress-on-favre-i-dont-know-if-he-knows/

I guess you can add Bradley to the list of people that don't know Bert.

[Joemailman]

Does Favre know that Childress doesn't know if Favre knows?

[Scott Campbell]

If Chilly really wanted to know if Bert was playing he would have kept driving to Houston and asked Donald Driver.

Brett Favre is a fucking asshole.

But don't take that out of context or I'll be pissed!

[Joemailman]

Does Favre have any concept of how much his reputation is damaged even (or perhaps especially) among those who once held him in high esteem?

Not as long as the sports media (most of them, anyway) keep buying into his "aw, shucks" demeanor and can't help themselves but to dick-ride him because of it.

Sheeeeeit. I'd feel pretty kingly too, if I got a front-page ESPN.com story and my own on-screen ticker every time I thought my lawn needed trimming, ah tell you whhhat.
