[QUOTE="evad04, post: 234779, member: 813"] The more I think about it the more I am convinced that the most influential force in all this indecision is the almost limitless amount of Favre-love that SURROUNDS Brett 24/7/365. Looking at clips from other pro players from the ESPY Awards -- every last damn one of them (notwithstanding the responses from Packers players, especially Aaron Rodgers who laid it down!) basically said, "Favre is the best. He's a living legend. He should be able to do whatever he wants to do... blah blah blah" He hears the same thing from: 1.) At least half of all talking heads and pundits think Favre should be traded (essentially what he wants) 2.) His [LOUD] family. I have nothing against the Favres... I mean... I don't know them or anything. But they never seem to hold back on their view on things (which seems to echo that Packer management is at fault_ 3.) Legions of bleeding-heart Favre fans who attribute every ounce of success the Packers have ever had to his gunslingin', never-say-die attitude. Favre is MY favorite all-time player, but it's ridiculous to give him so much credit. He's done well to deflect a lot of the credit over the years -- something I've ALWAYS appreciated. But now, he's acting pretty much exclusively in his self-interest. He's surrounded by people saying he can do what he wants because he's earned it. Put yourself in that place... what do you do? What you want? I am ticked at Favre right now, but it would take one hell of a menschy person to not let all that praise get to their head. I think he's showing he's human. I ALSO think this shows that even us FANS are actively involved in how issues like this CAN spin out of control. That's all. I know everyone has posted their $.02 and this place has turned into the blame game/verbal diarrhea forum, but I guess I just hadn't heard many express this same perspective. [/QUOTE]
