Brett Favre on Monday backtracked his remarks equating Colin Kaepernick with Pat Tillman, the former Arizona Cardinals safety who left his career to join the Army after 9/11.
The Hall of Fame quarterback said his comments during an interview with TMZ Sports was not meant to compare Kaepernick and Tillman, but a recognition that they both sidelined their football dreams in pursuit of a cause.

He’s been “Brees’d” nobody cares anymore about what he did on the field, we found out their true character.
That may be true to a certain extent, but... Kaepernick's career was in the crapper, and what he did did not cost him money in the long run. Heck he probably made more from Nike after he was released. Whereas Pat Tillman willingly gave up a cushy NFL lifestyle and pay to join the Army, go through Ranger training (?!) and eventually go to Afghanistan. That he was killed by friendly fire is immaterial; he was killed in action regardless. Kaepernick is still alive and kicking and being a pain-in-the-ass. He is no hero. He is a self-serving America-hating POS.
Brett Favre was the best negative IQ quarterback ever.
Vicodin is a helluva drug.
Favre is a sleaze. Remember when he sent explicit pictures of himself to some model or cheerleader? He is disgusting and dumb.
I wonder if Copper Fit makes a compression device for Brett’s mouth?????
....asking for a friend (and a nation....)
Yes, it's the old Dem trick of saying the horrible things that they really mean, then lying about it with an averted gaze.
Favre's America-hating, kneeler buddies know he's siding with them, and only fools on our side somehow think that he didn't mean what he said and thus what he meant.
Favre can "backtrack" all he wants. There are no lipstick lies for this.
Kaepernick is a bully, plain and simple.
Using his race and hatred of America to force someone to hire him, hating white people when it was white people who adopted him, took him in and raised him.
I could spit in his face.
Trying to back track is not what he should be doing....he should apologize for staining Pat Tillman’s reputation by comparing him to a worthless washed up POS!!!
“Really, he played for the Jets?”
Yep, after the Packers let him go for jacking them around about whether he was gonna retire or not, his only real choice was the Jets. The Packers were not gonna let him go to another team in the NFC North.
But after one year, he bailed on the Jets and signed with the Vikings and led to them exactly zero NFC Championships and zero Super Bowls. He went to Minnesota just to spite the Packers.
Screw him. He’d dead to me.
Let’s go to the video. Brett you add a new definition to dumb as a jock. You said it. You rock creature.
Too late, Brett... you effed up with your wife... I suppose that’s between you and her. It was supposed to be private. Personally, I think you’re an ASS for that. That said, shut your mouth and let your Stats do your talikng. You and Hollywood should just plain SHUT UP...
You were great UNTIL you opened your mouth....
Exactly.
PS: Thanks for your service, sir.
Brett you dumbass, you just lost the few fans you had left! Stick to selling blue jeans and copper snake oil gadgets!
You're so right on that.
I thought the same thing the second I read it.
It's obvious Farve is not a MENSA member.
Tillman died fighting for others freedom. Colon Kraperhead is fighting to take away others freedom.
Come on Brees:: “There is a ****ing difference! Too many headhits?
Farve, you are an idiot, and comparing Kapernick to Tillman is just disgusting. Both Farve and Kapernick can piss off.
And Kapernick didn’t “give up his career”. He was clearly told by 49ers GM John Lynch that he was going to be released, but given the option to “opt out of his contract”. He opted out of his contract because he thought quitting would make him more marketable than being fired.
His last season, he was one of the worst QB’s in the league with a 49.5 QBR, leading his team to a dismal 2-14 record. He had played 2 consecutive TERRIBLE seasons on the field and was a cancer in the locker room. No one was going to sign him as a starter and he refused to sign as a backup.
It was a Jets reporter. How dumb is that?
Map was sidelined by his coaches.
