Dear Brett Favre,

You're ruining the NFL, and this sports-fan is sick of hearing about you.

Love,

I think every person outside of Minnesota should feel the exact same way. The people of Green Bay should be looking for Brett's head on a platter.

Here's my take on Brett "Awe Shucks" Favre...

I had a great deal of respect for what he did in Green Bay. Playing a whole career with the same team is a noble gesture that is rare in sports today, and often-times overlooked by most. Favre played one heck of a game against the eventual champion New York Football Giants. It was a game that came down to the wire, and everyone was under the impression that it was his last hoorah on the football field...we were duped.

After retiring from football and walking away from the game, the Packers made the obvious move, going with the kid that was being groomed to be Brett's replacement, Aaron Rogers. He had been riding the pine, learning all that he could, and waiting for his chance to take the reigns. In June Favre decided that walking away from the game just wasn't that easy...I really don't blame him. So he made a comeback to the Packers. The Packers stated that they were standing by their guy, and Rogers was the starting QB, but the job was open to competition. This answer was not good enough for Brett, who wanted to be accepted as the Prodigal Son with open arms and a blank check. So Favre decided that maybe retiring was the right thing to do. We were duped...again.

Old #4 finds his way onto the Jets, with the agreement that if the J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets ever traded him to a team in the NFC North, they would have to pay the piper (in this case the Packers) in the form of draft picks. So Favre played a season with the Jets, looking every bit as old as we all know he is. Finished the season with some of the worst closing numbers in the league. The season ended, Brett retired...again. We were duped...again.

Brett negotiates a release from the Jets, allowing him to sign with whoever he pleases. He chooses the Vikings. The Lions had alraedy drafted Matthew Stafford, the Bears had Cutler already, it made perfect sense to choose the Vikings. But wait, this has NOTHING to do with Green Bay, right Brett? "Awe Shucks, I'm just a country boy that loves playing the game..."

So now Favre is a Minnesota Viking, with the matchup of the season coming up this Monday night. Packers @ Vikings. Favre has said that this "is just anther football game" and that he is "too old" to be playing games simply for revenge. Sorry Brett, we're not duped this time. Is he saying all of these things to try and convince himself? We all know what this is about. It's been all about this moment immediately after the Packers told him that he could compete for the starting QB job.

Brett Favre has taken over the NFL with his selfish spiteful attitude, and I can't stand it. If T.O., Randy Moss, or Chad Ochocinco did anything close to this, they would be killed by the media...but most of the media is afraid to call out the great Brett Favre. Man up, tell it like it is...he's a baby and an egomaniac.

Thanks Brett...looking forward to next off-season when we can do all this again...
