I have waited to write about this for weeks now because I fully expected Favre to come out of retirement by now.  I have never had more hate for any athlete in my life.  I still don’t think the d-bag is done.  I found it hilarious that he quit just after Moss re-signed with New England, quitting like the baby he is.  ESPN wrote an article about how he would come back if it was necessary yesterday.   And you call that a retirement?   

Outside of my mainstream insults about how bad of a human being he is and that he was a pill popping cheater, I found an insult that summarizes my thoughts best.  Here’s an awesome e-mail sent to Bill Simmons: 

The all-time interception leader who carouses, turns his back on friends, calls out grossly underpaid teammates for holding out and then holds his organization hostage himself is hanging it up to spend more time with the family? LOL. I’d mention the pill-popping, but then I’d be the hypocrite. I mean, who doesn’t like a few extra Vicodin? But seriously, who else could do what Farve has done, negatively speaking, both on and off the field, and get away with it? I mean, its like the media took an oath of unconditional praise with this guy. I will never understand this completely. In a way, I admire him for it; for getting away with it. It’s remarkable. I mean, how the hell did he pull it off? Really, I have to tip my hat to the man. See, and you thought this was an anti-Farve e-mail.

P.S. Here’s an old insult article I wrote for the University of Iowa school paper a couple years back.  Not to say I’m a good writer now, but that article is poorly written and delivered, and I remember getting tons of compliments for it back then.
