[QUOTE="jerryricefumbled, post: 447287, member: 4220"] The selfish attitude and me first agenda are often found in the best players. It could actually be argued it's a requirement to be a truly elite player. NEWS FLASH: Great players are often terrible people. We should not be shocked to see a guy who came from nothing acting like a ******* after he was worshiped by fans for over a decade, given millions on top of millions of dollars and was one of the greatest players at his position. My guess is most average people would crack under the microscope that is the public eye. I don't excuse his bad behavior, but I've seen a lot worse. [LIST] [*]He was addicted to prescription drugs? Football is a violent game. I get it. [*]He was a terrible husband? I'm not sure I could do any better in his position. [*]He waffled on when to retire and chose to play for our arch rivals? I don't blame one of the most competitive players in any game, ever, one bit. [/LIST] Most of the anti-Favre crowd is pissy he didn't go quietly into the night. He chose to keep playing and sure no one liked to see him in the passion-purple, beating our Packers in Lambeau but it happened. Yea it hurt to see it, but it sure was satisfying to see him throw the last second pick in the NFC Championship game against the Saints. Then we go out and win the superbowl? That's vindication, son. Let it go, we have Aaron Rodgers now. We won the break-up. Really Favre did far more positive things for this team then he did to hurt it. Let's not forget all the millions of dollars he has raised for charity and I'm willing to bet more than a few bucks of that found it's way into the Green Bay community. It's time to #ForgiveFavre and bring the prodigal son home. [/QUOTE]
