It's only one line, but it bothered me. In the section of the JSO in which the writers give their predictions, Here's what McGinn said about the 2007 championship game: " Brett Favre folded his tent the last time these two teams met. So did Al Harris."
Here's the link: http://www.jsonline.com/sports/packers/112458049.html
I feel like that's a cheap shot at Al Harris. There appears to be enough evidence that Favre did not want to play in the cold - a recent article in the JSO mentioned that the Giants felt Favre didn't want to play in that weather, and then there's the report that at halftime MM was fuming over Favre's lack of desire to be out there in the cold. So I would argue that it's fair enough to use the phrase "folded his tent" in reference to Favre.
But not Harris. He sucked in that game, maybe. Plaxico Burress had him turned around every which way but Sunday. But Harris battled the whole time. I don't see any evidence that he gave up or didn't want to be out there.
It just seemed like an unnecessary cheap shot against a guy who's been pretty classy. Just unnecessary.
Thank you for listening to me complain.
