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?

I'm not sure I know how he'd answer that.

The bigger issue is that Favre has overcome his problem and become a better husband, father, quarterback, and - dare I say? - role model in the process. Some people can't see those kinds of things when they're staring them in the face, though.
