The irony here is that Florio is doing his own top 25 and I think he is naming one per position. So while he complains Favre is higher than 14th, he may not even make the list ahead of Marino/Manning/Brady.
USA TODAY DISSES LORD FAVRE
So we've been paying close attention to the ongoing countdown of the top 25 NFL players of the past 25 years on the USA Today web site, and we've even decided to do our own.
Our decision was due in large part to our belief that the USA Today list, well, isn't very good. Our concern started with the inclusion of Steelers quarterback Terry Bradshaw, whose only football-related activity of note in the past quarter-century was his Hall of Fame speech.
But now we've got another major beef with the folks at USA Today. At No. 14 on their list is Packers quarterback Brett Favre.
Brett Favre? No. 14? The guy who has shattered the record for consecutive starts by a quarterback? The guy who could end up with every career passing record?
Look, we take plenty of shots at Favre, primarily because we get sick of hearing how great he is. But he is. And there's no way that Favre is only the fourteenth best pro football player of the past 25 years.
