Dear Brett,
Please. Go away. Or stay and play. Do whatever you want. But for god’s sake, shut the fuck up already. Every year, sports fans have to suffer your drama. And if you don’t hear your name for a week after the draft, you announce you need ankle surgery to play this year. What a surprise. :rolleyes: Didn’t see something like this happening. Drag out your personal situation through the summer.
Signed,
EVERYONE
OK, serious questions below:
For the rest of you, is there anyone out here that is a psychiatrist? He seems to be one of the most insecure sports figures I can even think of. I wouldn’t be surprised if, in one of those Snickers commercials, when the diva bites into a Snickers bar, Brett pops into the back seat.
Did he fall off his tractor in the past week, or trip and fracture his ankle on a walk to his favorite fishing hole? Or has his ankle been an issue since the end of last season… 5 or so months ago? Why wait until now to get it operated on? The only reason is to make himself the center of attention as much as possible for yet another summer. What does he actually get out of this, from any standpoint?
He seems to be as big a drama queen as T.O. ever was, except they are going in opposite directions. As T.O.'s career winds down, he’s been winding down his act. As Favre’s career nears the end, he continues to crank it up. What psychological need is he filling?
I have no doubt that he will return to the Vikings this year. I knew he would play last year, as did just about everyone else. No one believes him, and until he goes away for a season and no team signs him will I believe he will be done with football.
With that said, I don’t wish him any harm. I don’t care one way or the other if he plays or not. ESPN blows everything out of proportion, so I realize that media creates many issues that aren’t there. But Favre seems to bring this on himself, and he enjoys it.
I can’t believe I’m saying this, but at this point, I think I’d prefer to deal with T.O. on my team than Favre. Favre is just not worth the time, and since an offense is created around a QB, I’d like to have one a bit more stable. Getting rid of a receiver is much easier, so T.O. might be a bargain at this point to take a flyer on.
OK, I’ve given Favre attention again, and I will try not to think about him until the football season rolls around. But he (and ESPN) just don’t seem to want to give me a break!
