Why the f does everyone want to put Brett Favre out to pasture?????? He is the one player in the nfl (non-Bills) that I enjoy watching anytime. So he's had a rough patch. Who cares - it's still enjoyable to watch him play football. He brings a joy to the game that most of today's superstars lack and this year he's working without a supporting cast.
Take away ANY quarterback's running back, number 1 receiver and two of his long time linemen and watch what happens - they'll collapse faster than a house of cards. At least Favre is still back there trying. The majority of today's so called superstars would be complaining to the media, calling their agents to get them traded or faking an injury to get off the field.
It seems like the folks who are pushing Favre to the curb have the same mentality as the ones who were booing Jimbo and pushing for Todd Collins in '96. You need to enjoy the ride folks, quarterbacks like Favre are special and when they're gone - they're gone forever.
