I respect your opinion too, but at the very least, Favre was selfish and childish about this whole thing. The way the media fawns over this average quarterback is sickening. No one would care, but the media tries to force us to care about Favre. The league went on without Marino, Elway, and Montana--the media makes Favre out to be bigger than the league--which is ridiculous, given the fact that he is not even in the same group with the guys mentioned above. Most int's in the history of the league--to me that will always be his legacy.

It is the OWNERSHIP of those teams that holds the fate of those QBS.
All Brett did was say he wanted to play football and he wanted to be, or have the chance to be, the starter.
While I think he has acted a bit "like a kid" when it comes to his handling of the "I'm retired...no wait, I am not retired" situation, I am not all that surprised by it because in a lot of ways that's the same way he plays the game...like a kid.
I guess you have to take the good with the bad when it comes to the players, and I would rather see him play than not.
