Brett Favre has spoken out on behalf of Steve McNair, who Favre feels is getting a raw deal from the Titans. McNair and his agent claim that the Titans told McNair that he couldn’t work out at Titans facilities. The Titans deny any wrongdoing.
There are contract issues, too… basically, that the Titans don’t want to pay McNair the rest of his enormous contract. They declined a $50 million option to extend his deal, which I believe, was their right to do so. Basically, the Titans don’t want to give a huge amount of money to a quarterback who’s as likely to play a full season as I am to marry Paul Lo Duca.
Brett Favre has a problem with all this. He doesn’t feel that the Titans are treating McNair fairly.
“All of the things he has done for that team. He really has been the face of that team for the last 10 or 11 years, the one bright spot really. To be treated that way I think is really unfair. He doesn’t deserve it … It is not right.”
So here we have some insight into the psyche of Brett Favre: Quarterbacks are entitled to everything. Quarterbacks are awesome. The Titans should give Steve McNair $50 million! They should provide him with half-dozen Swedish virgins! Because that’s how quarterbacks should be treated. So maybe if we all talk right here about how awesome Brett Favre is, he’ll agree to come back and SAVE THE PACKERS!
Or, you can tell him to go fuck himself. I think I know which way you’re leaning.
I don’t mean to imply that I have anything against Steve McNair… I’m sorry that he’s getting a raw deal. It’s true, he has given a lot of himself to the Titans. He has been the face of the franchise. He might deserve better.
Now, I don’t know what went down with the practice facility thing… the league will sort that out. But about the contract… he is not the first NFL player to be cast aside… he is not the first guy that put his heart and soul into a team, only to have the team say, “You know, you’re old, and you get hurt, and we don’t want you around anymore.” That’s the NFL. That’s the collective bargaining agreement they settled on. That’s how it goes.

Favre should probably worry about making his decision to come back or not. He is really hanging the team out to dry and pulling a Clemens. The NFL draft is next week, he’s really hurting his team. What an ass.

I’m tired of Favre. he should sort out his own business before meddling in the affairs of other teams.
all McNairs team told him is they weren’t taking responsibilty for him possibly injuring himself in a workout at their facilities while they had contract issues.
I’m a huge McNair fan, but teams have to look out for themselves. I don’t think players or agents care.
Favre should start boozing again, he’d make more sense.

Do not meddle in the affairs of Favre, for he is unsubtle, and quick to anger.

I hate it when people are unsubtle. They get loud and nasty.

I welcome Brett Favre’s comments on every subject. Are there any movies out now that he enjoys? Does he have an opinion on the war in Iraq?
America needs the wisdom of Brett Favre now more than ever!

Brett Favre also thinks Stephon Gaybury is getting a raw deal.

Stephon is getting a raw deal. He’s the best point guard in the NBA. Dayum, who served up a double batch of Haterade in here?

at this point, i hope he does come back, and the packers surround him with all-pros. then i hope he throws 30 picks and they go 4-12 again, so he can figure out that he just MIGHT be the problem with the team.

Brett Farve mighty be my least favorite person, much less athlete alive. Im really glad everyone is seeing how much of a joke he is, as opposed to the “greatest guy on earth what a down to earth mans man” every person on earth (especially John Madden) likes to talk about at every oppertunity

“One bright spot” is an interesting thing to say about a team that has (sorry to have to go allcaps on you) BEEN IN THE SUPER BOWL MORE RECENTLY THAN YOU HAVE!!
And I don’t even like the Titans; I’m just sayin’.

Hopefully the Lions will get an opportunity to pay Steve McNair 50 million dollars. He could be the face of the franchise!

If anyone in this pathetic discussion can win three mvp’s and show me a super bowl ring then you have my permission to talk bad about brett favre. until that point you all should shut up and stop talking about one of the top 5 QB’s of all time. You are all fools and you are truly ignorant if you think he is a bad qb or person for that matter.

brett farve is a piece of shit. just beacause years ago he could throw the ball without setting int records doesnt mean hes some sort of better person than I or that I can’t talk about him. he’s not top five qbs of all time, not top ten. he’s a liability and is screwing his team by only thinking of himself.
