Predict the Favre Quotes Tonight

[cpk1994]

The argument that TT would rather fail miserably - and lose his job! - just to 'stick it to Favre' or 'look like a genius' has become, over time, one of those completely over-the-top beliefs that Favre supporters, by chanting like a mantra, have made themselves actually believe.
At the root of it all lies one simple truth : these folks are Brett Favre idolizers - even more than Packer fans - who completely believe :
a. he can never do anything wrong
b. all failures can be attributed to someone else
c. he deserves no criticism - EVER

Therefore, anyone who ever does anything perceived as a slight to him, like TT, who finally had enough of his act and moved on for the betterment of the team, or posters who refuse to worship him by insisting on judging him objectively, draw their 'true believer' ire.
And even if Thompson's Packers win a Super Bowl, that will not change.
It's really pretty useless to attempt to reason with them.

Nice summary. Well said.

What any of the above, in all common sense has to do with a comparison of Brett Favre 'the Pro NFL QB' and Favre as a traitor to the Packer organization that tried to retire him prematurely is way beyond my sensabilities.

The only person who retired was Brett Favre. The Packers didn't retire him. I sure as hell remember Brett crying and saying he was leaving.

I was sad because I remebered the great 16 years he gave the GB Packers and thought that was a great career, can't wait until you are put in Canton.

When all is said and done, I'm just happy and relieved he's performing his act somewhere else.
