Brett Favre: being a chotch since 1989

PrintThe race for top villain in sports has never been more heated, but with his latest and perhaps most irritating act of pomposity, Brett Favre has locked down the sports "guy you'd most like to see fall down in any possible scenario" title.
No one's done more damage to a once seemingly bulletproof career since Nic Cage.
Super Bowl XXXI, Leaving Las Vegas. Three MVPs, Adaptation. Wanting the entire Packers organization to wipe his ass, The Wicker Man. Coming out of retirement again to play for an NFC North team, Ghost Rider.
So when did it all start to go wrong for the most annoying figure in the world of sports? Way before the 17 retirements, the Wrangler jeans commercials and the toddlerian (word) lust for attention.
It started when he threw this pass:
Leave.

Wow.
Had no idea that happened. Was barely alive, let alone a UL fan when that happened.
Never before has one man gone from icon to dirtbag so quickly in my eyes. Even some of Nicolas Cage’s movies are decent enough to watch if you’re drunk. I don’t care how drunk I am, seeing Brett Favre in a Vikings jersey will make me want to throw the TV out the window. Luckily, it’s 65" and weighs about 200lbs, so I guess I’ll at least save myself from that bad decision.
I was there, man....
….I was THERE.
Seriously, though, I was pretty young but I do remember being there for that game. Or at least that pass, can’t recall anything else about that game.
Me too man
I was 10. That’s in my top 5 crappiest things I’ve seen happen to UL football. As a packers fan I grew to love Favre despite the indiscretion, but the past two years are really starting to piss me off.
I saw it
and still hate him. Bouncing the ball off a player’s helmet is absurd. Shouldn’t count because he didn’t call bank.
The Video makes you a believer
The video, which I had never seen before (being a Rutgers fan and having my own highlight reel of worst moments running through my head), makes you a believer in the idea that luck really is a more powerful force than talent.
