Let's get weepy over Brett Favre.

Brett Favre, the only quarterback I've ever seen who could throw 8 zillion interceptions and have everybody think its the coolest thing in the world.
Brett Favre, one of the most selfish players who ever played the game. Had to do it his way. "I threw seven interceptions today and I wouldn't take back a damn one of 'em!"
O.K., I admit that is not a direct quote, but that was always his sentiment. All he wanted to do was run around, heave the ball up, and pray for a big play. He could never contain himself.
Until this year. He was doing fine this year. He was playing within the confines of what the coaches wanted him to do. He was smart with the ball. Had one of his best seasons in 8-10 years...then he through it all away in championship game when he just couldn't help himself, and reverted to the old Brett Favre.
I know I'm supposed to fall at the feet of Brett Favre and genuflect, but I've never seen a guy get a free pass from the media and the fans as long as this guy has. The fact is he should have retired five years ago. All he's done is put the progression of Aaron Rodgers, or whatever quarterback will be taking over in Green Bay, behind schedule.
See ya Brett Favre. Try not to throw an interception on the way back to Mississippi.
