I guess I am now.
First off, a LOT of the blame of Favre and the constant media attention is completely misdirected at him. Blame the sports media for blowing their wad every time they get any update on the guy. “Holy shit! Favre had waffles for breakfast! I gots to change my pants!”
However, CLEARLY the guy is an attention whore. He very easily could just walk away from the media while ‘deciding’, but he actively courts them. He’s the equivalent of a 15 year old girl who will ‘Just DIE!’ if someone isn’t constantly looking at her. So he is in no way completely blameless in all of this. And what was with that whole bit with several teammates telling the media Brett texted them that he was leaving? Did he, just to make ESPN? Or did they feel like getting a little attention themselves by rubbing up against his name for a bit? Either way, pretty fucking sad.
And could he try being honest? EVERYONE knew he was going to come in part way through training camp to avoid 2 a day practices. He fooled nobody. Stop being a fucking moron and just say that’s what you’re planning to do from the start.
Finally, the Vikings were right to bring him back. Looking at the number of key vets in their last years, and the number of young players coming up for free agency soon, that team is going to be in full rebuild mode in a year or two anyway. And win now mode + Tarvaris Jackson doesn’t exactly make sense.
