So Brett Favre is the only player in football with bruises after a game? I find that hard to believe. I’ll bet if you take pictures of more than half of the players in any given game, there will be bruises on their bodies that will look worse than those. My sons played football in high school and they frequently had bruises on their bodies from a rough game. It’s football! Not flag football. I remember reading many posts during football season on FB complaining how the NFL was trying to turn the players into wusses and make football more of a flag football game.

I’m just wondering why the conversation is only about St. Brett? I don’t hear a lot of hoopla from other players or teams. If he can’t take the hits, he shouldn’t be in the game.

Whatever fantasies Favre fanatics harbor, you are rushing to hurl yourself overboard on the other side of the ship. Of all people to call crybaby and imply they can’t take the heat, Favre is last on the list. He’s the Cal Ripken of football. Or of quarterbacks, at least, since it’s not fair to compare his starting streak to less coddled positions.

Oh, and I actually heard a tweet, or whatever, from Favre, or someone who sounded enough like Favrte, in which he said it’s not that big a deal, though he did think there should’ve been more flags. So he’s not whining, for one.
