Favre could have ran for at least ten yards on that play and set up a field goal. But no, he decided a better idea was to throw back across his body on the run towards the middle of the field. What were the odds that could ever get intercepted?

That's Favre. All the natural talent in the world and shit for brains [which is why he has so much trouble learning any new offense].

That's 3 years in row he ends a season with a terrible interception.

2007: Wins OT, throws it directly to a Giant.

2008: To emphasize the apathy of his pitiful, "If we win, we win. If we lose, we lose" pre-game inspirational, he inexplicably throws it directly to a Dolphin with no Jet anywhere close. Leaves analysts speechless.

2009: The aformentioned pick above.


If you like the excitement of risk, you can have Favre. I don't want him. And, unless you run his offense, you can't use him anyway. He's an ESPN marvel. A highlight machine who pads statistics when they don't matter and can be almost always trusted to heave one bad pass too many to cost his team when it counts most.

If you need risk/reward excitement in your QB, might I suggest the woefully under-rated Staubach who would have as many SB wins as Bradshaw & Montana if not for the Steel Curtain. Or, of more recent vintage, Elway who won two when his team finally ran the ball effectively and played some defense [and beat the HEAVILY favored Favre, btw]. Or, even Fran Tarkenton who because he lost his 3 Super Bowls is mostly forgotten when such things are discussed.



In my mind's eye I can see Roger the Dodger [whom, because of his team, I always rooted against] picking up 15-20 yards on the play Favre blew. Same with Elway and Tarkenton and Steve Young and ... Of those in the Hall of Fame, I think only Namath wouldn't have run for the yardage, but only because he was fucking cripple.




But, they all worship that selfish douche Favre ....
