Brett Favre?

Most words penned about Brett Favre this season include words like "washed up," "lousy," and "interceptions." You might see a sentence that goes something like this: "Brett Favre is a lousy, wsahed up quarterback that throws a ton of interceptions."

Where exactly have you seen this written about him? Most of the stuff I have read this season has been almost the opposite (its not his fault his team sucks this year, etc.)

While this was spoken, and not written, how about the playoff game last year?

Five yards past the line of scrimmage, he throws the ball up in the air and it's luckily caught by one of his own players.

It was an incredibly stupid play by him, with his team already down. In fact, it had absolutely no upside: it's either a penalty or the Vikings intercept it.

But, instead of blasting him for that, the announcers just went on saying "Oh, look at Brett Farve. You can tell he's having fun out there!". No word on how he cost his team field position (they missed the field goal attempt after this play, btw) or how he should have tucked the ball away and tried to get some yardage.

Nope, it's was all "Brett's having fun!".
