Earlier today, I wrote that Brett Favre’s just as bad as Terrell Owens, Albert Haynesworth, Roger Clemens, LeBron James, and all the other sports villains that we’ve come to loathe. He just has better relationships with the media.
Brett Favre Is America, And So Can You!
To wit, Joe Sports Fan presents some of the media’s finest commentaries on Favre. After the jump a few of the highlights from the media’s long, illustrious, metaphorical Favre sex tape.
“And you know what? I don’t care whether people are Packers fans or whatever, I’ll reiterate what we said, rooting for Favre is like rooting for America.” - Chris Berman
“I think with Brett Favre, the smile that he still has, it must have been the same kid running around in Kiln, Mississippi, it’s still the same kid, except he’s running around often in the cold and the snow in Green Bay thrilling everybody. Congratulations Brett!” - Chris Berman
“I mean, we don’t see him do a thousand commercials so when we see one like Wrangler, I say he must really like those jeans. He must wear them. It’s refreshing.” - Terry Bradshaw
“You give me a leader, and I’ll show you a winner. You give me a coward, and I won’t show you Brett Favre!” - Sean Salisbury
“The rebirth of Favre is bad news for Bears fans. But it’s great news for football, sports and, when you think about it, life.” - Jay Mariotti
And easily the best, from perhaps Favre’s greatest acolyte, Peter King:
...classic Favre. He picked the time where the world would be most focused on something else, so he could get the minimum amount of attention. Beautiful.“
