You are so right. Don't you wish we were Atlanta fans? Then we'd get to see our franchise QB all over the news - everyone talking about him. Talk radio, ESPN, NFL, CNN... That would be SO much better. Then we could watch tributes before each game to Joey er Byron, no Joey - no wait Byron. Or may you'd rather be a Raider fan? Or Buffalo hmmm? Then you'd never know who's starting and they wouldn't have time to whip up these "puff" pieces saluting your QB.
It would be different if at the end it read "courtesy of Brett Favre productions" or "material provided by and approved expressely by the Favre family" etc. But we all know it isn't that. The media goes overboard on many other things but I think in his case each and every tribute is earned a thousand times over. Sure it's a team but he IS the face of this team in this time and I have no problem with any and all attention and glory it brings him.
He's shown time and time again how humble he truly is and never ONCE, no matter how easy it would be to do so, has he said - "man I want to get out there this Sunday and break that record." He simply goes and DOES IT - while winning and entertaining millions along the way.
No - it's not the Green Bay Favres and I think no one knows it more than Favre himself. Let's just enjoy the ride and be proud fans while we have the opportunity. Let the media enjoy it as well.
