My Take on My Favorite Player

It took a commotion as big as Brett Favre to bring me out of my hiatus. With all of the venom being spewed by my friends and sports pundits alike I feel I have no choice but to make my voice heard.

I say to all of you: Why do you care?
Why do you care if Brett chooses to play for 100 more years? As far as I know exactly none of my friends are or have ever been Green Bay, Favre, or Minnesota fans. So, I ask again. Why do you care? If you haven't invested cheers, tears, part of your soul, and your whole lifetime rooting for this man then why does it bother you if he changes his mind a multitude of times? You are simply tired of hearing about it. There are people who actually have a beef with him. I will put my self near the front of that line. I grew up watching Brett play and he is and always will be my favorite player. I have no problem with him wanting to play more. If there are people like me who are fine with what he is doing how can you hate him for it?

How is Brett's pining for the spotlight any different then Chad Johnson or Terrel Owens. Jason Whitlock hit it on the head in his recent article- http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/9959442 - when he compared Brett to Britney Spears. He does want the eyes of the world on him. What people overlook is the fact that we give him the attention he and every other celeb craves. I promise you if everyone stopped watching the World Wide Leader when they have whole SportCenters devoted to Brett they would ease up on the coverage. As I have said before your problem isn't with Brett or what he is doing your problem is with ESPN. Everyone who hates Brett for all of the coverage you are forced to listen to also needs to hate: New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox, A-rod, Lebron James, Kobe Bryant, Las Angeles Lakers, Tom Brady, the latest MLB player accused of using steroids, and every other dick ESPN sucks on a weekly basis. As I said above most people have no affiliation to Brett Favre or the Green Bay Packers so what he chooses to do should not matter to you.

The only problem I have is that Brett has gone to one of the most hated teams for Packer fans. In my house the Vikings are second only to the Fucking Bears. Brett Claims to cherish the 16 seasons he spent in the Green and Gold but how much can it really mean to his when he goes to their hated rival? I understands his reasons. He wants to stick it to Ted Thompson for forcing him out. In a way I understand. He way the mayor of the town and in some ways Brett deserved a lifetime reign. I just hope he knows he is turning his back on so many fans who supported him no matter what. Fans who cheered nearly as loud for the Jets as the Packers last season. Even a staunch a Brett supporter like me cannot root for the Vikings. I will continue to hope for his personal success, if only to make everyone shut the fuck up, but I will also hope the Vikings lose every single game as I do every season.
