Is It Possible to Lose Respect for Someone You Already Have Zero Respect for?
I think so, especially if that person is one Brett Favre.
(I’ll give him credit, though; this is the first ‘news’ about Favre that I have no problem discussing.)
Now, I really don’t care much about preseason football. However, any time a Hall of Fame, flip-flopping, real-life soap opera-starring, washed-up, doubly-injured quarterback throws a block that could’ve ended another player’s career, I’ll talk about it.
At first glance, I thought it was an ugly play but not dirty at all. Upon watching the clip a second time, however, I caught something I didn’t catch before: Favre had a running start before he threw himself at the knees of Texans’ safety Eugene Wilson.
I’ve read some comments out there that actually insisted that Favre hit Wilson in the torso first. Sure, if Wilson’s torso starts below his waist. How Wilson got off the field without the assistance of a cart is beyond me.
I can’t wait to see what the NFL’s reaction to the hit is gonna be. Is he gonna be suspended? However, he better be fined for the hit. Don’t be surprised if I blog again in a couple days, though, wondering why Roger Goodell didn’t fine the Diva.
