Perfect ending for a perfectly horrible year for Brett Favre. The guy sucked this year. His team sucked. Strong allegations of personal misconduct came out against him. He got battered and bruised (leg, arm, head). His sister was busted at a drug house. Then to top it off his former team wins the Super Bowl.
The interesting thing is that Rodgers has become one of the best QBs in the league. People forget that when he took over after Favre left, GB fans were booing him. The guy has handled himself with professionalism and class and on top of it has performed unbelievably.
It’s also interesting because again, if Favre had just left when he originally retired, he would still be loved in GB. He will always be one of the best players to have played the game. There is no disputing that. However, he is not nearly as loved in GB country as he used to be. He could have been legendary there. Instead, it’s like Brent Who? It has become Aaron Rodgers team and he is the guy loved. Again, not just for his play but for his class.
