A full 99.99% of people in this country have never met Brett Favre, yet it is universally assumed that he is a tremendously nice Everyman kind of guy anyone would love to hang around and drink Near Beer with. And he might be, but come on. I have been listening to his canonization for years now, and all I can think of is, "but what if he's a real prick?" Because this could also be true.
We don't know professional athletes as anything outside of the realm of the sport in which they play. The capacity of sports fans to project good qualities on their athletic idols is enormous and often misguided and so I, in the interest of even-handedness, have decided to conclude that Brett Favre, far from being a sainted being, is in fact a complete asshole.
Good riddance!
Near Beer?
Favre is a recovered drug abuser. He doesn't drink.
See? Druggie! Asshole.

Ha ha.
The guy's good. I love people who have mastered the game, yet humble about it [I would marry Barry Sanders if he would have me. I'd even let him sleep with other people and be OK with it ;-)]
So why do I hate him so much?
OH YEAH, now I remember: I'm a 49ers fan. And he & his team rubbed our noses in the ground for the entire last half of the 90's.
I hope he dies.
:-D
