Brett Favre will not be overshadowed

Posted: February 3, 2010

So the big NFL news this week is the ankle of Indianapolis Colts Dwight Freeney. Never one to be upstaged Brett Favre’s agent came out with pictures of his client’s ankle following the NFC Championship game. The lengths Favre’s camp will go to insure he is the center of attention really makes me sick. This guy has spent the last two years making a mockery of his NFL career, and generally being a cry baby wasting everyone’s time with yet another retirement announcement.

This latest move is the lowest of the mall. First of all the Favre camp is trying to use these pictures to explain away the interception that cost the Minnesota Vikings a trip to the Super Bowl. Let us deal with that first, the fact here is Favre is a gunslinger and in any given day, Favre is going to do something really stupid. It is too bad for the Vikings that he was able to control that urge all the way until the final drive in the NFC title game.

Now let us deal with the injury itself, if you believe that every other NFL player would not have taken the field with this kind of injury in a regular season game, much less the NFC title game, you are kidding yourself. This is the NFL, and players are expected to play hurt. Especially in game of such importance to the team.

Favre’s need to be the center of attention is getting really old. His camp has no business releasing these photos during Super Bowl week. It is a classless move, from a classless guy who needs to hang up and move onto the next part of his life. Expecting the national media and NFL football fans to continually feed his enormous ego is a load of crap, and it needs to end now.

Nothing self-serving about releasing pictures of your poor ankle. What a loser. 75% of players have bruises after playing a game. They just don’t take pictures to show us how tough they are. Naturally, all the Favre puppets think this is perfectly normal behavior and only enhances this hack’s reputation, which I guess it sort of does. His reputation for being a self-centered egomaniac.

The Saints are nothing but a bunch of THUGS, deliberately trying repeatedly to take Favre out of the game. They have no class or scruples, and wouldn’t have played clean if you’d paid them an extra $10K apiece for the game. I hope the Colts give them a good a** whooping – they deserve it!

So what if he shows a picture of his ankle. You guys have no appreciation for someone like him. None of you could last one game.l…let alone over 300 straight starts….but yet you criticize him like he has done nothing in his career. To the writer of this story…….you are a writer, not a football player…..in short, you don’t even compare to someone like Brett. Get a life and write about something positive instead of complaining so much. Your life must really suck!

What a stupid moron you are to write something so lame. Your being a crybaby crying about Favre being a crybaby. All you do is fuel the thing you say you dont like. It makes no sence at all. Grow up crybaby.

First of all, I would like to start out by saying that I was born and raised in Saint Paul, Minnesota so I know and love my Vikings. Brett Favre is a dominating reason that we made it so far in the season. With that being said. . . you, sir, are a jacka**. Just because football players stuffed you into trash cans and gave you swirlies in school is no reason to spit crap on Favre’s cleats. I’m sorry that nobody liked you in high school and that they still haven’t come around. I’m sure the scars run deep… blah blah yadda yadda, get over it. Move on like the rest of us. He’s not glory hounding, THIS time. He’s proudly dispaying his battle scars. The only person being a cry baby here is you. We are all disappointed in the way the game turned out. It’s not fair, but that’s the way it is. There’s always next year!
P.S. GO COLTS!

WOW!! I don’t know how you can even write an article like that without even thinking of how Ignorant you sound!!! If half of the Players in the NFL played with the Heart and Emotion of Brett Favre can you imagine how entertaining this League would be?? Sure there are players that have played with the same injuries, Big deal, for whatever reason these photos were published who cares, I think Brett has shown everyone with his play on the field and the way he bonded with this team unlike the Jets last year is a perfect example of the ” Team ” playing the game! I hope fore the sake of “Football ” that Brett comes back again for another year and the Vikings as a Team finish what they Set out to accomplish… SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS!! Way to go Brett keep that Football spirit burning!!!

Ok, first of all I must admit I’ve never heard of the inquisitr. Is this legit? In other words, is this a real news site, or are you just some random guy that started a web site and wrote this article. The reason I ask is because that is some of the worst writing I’ve personally ever seen, from someone that might consider themselves as a writer. I would assume that you don’t have an editor. By the way, if you do have an editor, well….your editor also sucks.

You know it isnt Favre that is so bad it is the vikings itself that are morons. The team players ( some of them) think that they are the greatest. The fans think that they are the greabecause they got Brett Farve away from the green bay packers. The only reason you did that is because you idiots cant find some one new on your own. When Favre is through with the Vikings then the packer fans will welcome him back into the hall of fame but until then you all belong together you sick people.
