I wish he would stop. Even as a Pats fan, I loved Brett Favre. He had always seemed like such a nice guy. But each year I lose more respect for him as he clings so desperately to a life he should really move on from. There a so many other ways he could stay in football, but he just refuses to admit his playing career should be over. Plus, the more he does this, the more dirt people will try to dig up him so they can watch him fall, which will only harm his family.
I was never a Favre fan. He has raw talent, but is not very smart, IMO. Sure, he has some great games; but he also has some of the worst games of all time. He's always had a tendency to scramble too much and try to pull a play out of his a$$. Sometimes they work; sometimes they translate into 6 interceptions in a game. Tony Romo reminds me of Farve. Raw talent; not very smart.
While I agree with you that Brett probably should have stayed retired, the fact of the matter is that regardless of his past trials, he is still a better quarterback then half of the ones that will start next season. That and the media’s desire for anything that will get people to notice them will keep Brett in the sports news for quite a while.
