Hey, look at that: the Favre's have joined the blogging revolution! In the most recent post, Deanna, Brett's wife, writes that her husband isn't a vindictive jerk, which should come as news to Ted Thompson, Mike McCarthy, and the sports media (obvious exclusion: Peter King, BFF Esq.)
Via the Family of Favre:
"... [M]ost hurtful are those media reports who would like you to believe that Brett is eaten up with bitterness over his split with the Packers. Still feeling some grief, sure... but not bitterness. Yes, in the beginning, Brett was angry and hurt with the way things ended, but how could he not be? Brett gave most of his career (and his adult life) to the Packers. ...After re-unretiring for the third time this summer, the Packers opted to go with Aaron Rodgers as its quarterback of the future. They eventually traded Favre to the Jets, and last week, word leaked that Favre had been sharing Green Bay game-planning secrets with Detroit, a division rival.
Brett does not, in any way, hold a vendetta against his former team ... But that has not stopped some from scrutinizing his every move and blaming him for so many things that simply are not true. ... Because of this, lately, my heart has been so heavy. It is very hard to watch the daily toll this has taken on Brett."
Favre sort of refuted the allegations during Wednesday's press conference, but a lot of people weren't convinced, including ESPN's Sal Paolantonio.
Whatever, I can certainly understand why Favre might be upset with how things ended in Green Bay, and I wouldn't completely blame him for his passive-aggressive approach for getting back at his former club (allegedly). That said, dude, let it go. In three months, you've tarnished a legacy that took 18 years to build.
Handy work, no doubt, but you might want to have focused more on beating the Chiefs on Sunday.
