Quotable:

“Except that you left the door open to return on November 1st, hoping you can get some sort of Clemens-type arrangement where you only have to play half the season or whatever. This is Favre at his absolute worst: wishy-washy, manipulative, and never acknowledging his own faults. No other player in the history of any sports has milked retirement like Favre has, and he’d like you to believe this is all a completely natural process that anyone should be able to understand. It’s a pathetic waste of everyone’s time, and I expect more decisiveness from a f–khead who never hesitates to throw into triple coverage. Hey Brett: Eat s–t and die.” – Drew
