Why is not classy to dislike a drug addict? If you want to love drug addicts that is your business. I dont like Michael Irvin and he was a Cowboy with a drug problem. Each person has their favorite players and teams. Take the blinders off for a minute and dont think that whole world loves Brett Favre just because you do.

Class hasn't much to do with it. It's more about compassion and admiration, neither of which seem to be found in abundant quantities in your repertoire.

They seem to have been replaced with a boatload of "holier-than-thou."

Amen, brother. I liked the 6 INT St Louis game as well.

Was trying to point out in your post that it was dripping with hatred. There are many things I hate but people is not one of them. Even with his flaws, Favre is well- liked around these parts. I recall that Mark Chmura was alienated by Packer fans after his problems with his teenaged babysitter. His popularity went way down. But Favre's problems was an addiction to painkillers, not exactly an alienating type occurance. Hatred is as subjective as love, and not a valid argument in any case. Would you abandon a friend if you discovered he had an addiction to pain killers, or would you try to help him overcome his problem?
