[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 587339"] I am not so magnanimous. I believe that if Murphy and the Board are so h*ll bent on retiring #4 before the HOF induction, with Favre needing to be on the field to accept that great honor, then all parties concerned should man-up and not have Favre come forward under the protective wing of Bart Starr's legacy. It's always fair to measure the good with bad. If Favre walks out alone to a mixture of cheers and boos, with maybe some stuff thrown on the field, that's fair. That would be an accurate representation of [I]his[/I] legacy, the gunslinger with the uncluttered mind bringing glory but who eventually fell victim to his vanity. It's the NFL version of a Greek tragedy. But this is about myth-making, hero worship and revisionist history. A fair and balanced view has nothing to do with it...the good is supposed to make us forget the bad. [/QUOTE]
