Is Favre acting like a primadonna?

Question

Is Favre acting like a primadonna?

Answer 1

I really like him before this situation. But after this, I've lost a lot of respect for the man.

Answer 2

well he has been pretty selfish the past month or so. Not matter how you look at it, I think most people have a different view of Brett Favre now then what they did when he retired .

Answer 3

Maybe ,but we don't know the facts!!

I know GB will be 7-9 without Brett!!

Answer 4

He's acting like a great athlete whose identity is so wrapped around playing football that he can't set it aside.  Understandable, but not a productive strategy. He needs to find a way to stay connected to the sport, while transitioning into private/business life.  It's understandable why he'd want to take a shot at one more Super Bowl with a rapidly improving young GB Team.  It's not understandable why he'd want to start with a new system in Tampa and dilute his legacy.  It's the same as with MJ.  I preferred to remember him "breaking the ankles" of a Utan Jazz defender and winning his sixth championship on the last shot of the game. The same with Ali.  But I understand.  I'd suit up again and hit somebody for free. You can golf and swing a bat, shoot hoops pretty late in life, but nothing replaces the exhiliration of full contact football.  And no one understands this more than Brett.  He's the most durable at his position in history.  That's saying a lot.

Answer 5

Yes, he's a total pre-madonna.

Answer 6

Big time. How do you say dramaqueen in redneck?

Answer 7

Brett is definely not acting his age.  He's the new cry baby in football.  Right now Brett Favre is a legend in his own mind.  It's over, he walked out on Green Bay when he retired.  Game over Brett!  Football is a fast game and a lot of planning and team work is envolved.  Yeah "Team Work", the team needed to focus around a leader that is there and Brett was not there to do that.

He's like the little kid at the ball park seeing everyong playing and wanting to play, so now he is jumping up and down waving his hands crying out to anyone who will listen "I want to play, I want to play, put me in coach, put me in coach".  I don't think so.  Brett should just go home.

Answer 8

yep I bet he was a demi god in greenbay wisconsin .... now he has alot less respect from alot of people becuase he's pulling this baby act.

Answer 9

no really the man just wants to play. plain and simple. He doesn't care. Hes even in talks with the bucs something he didnt want to do. The packers are messing this situation up. If they just made a descion fast this question probably wouldn't be asked. Now the Packers are in a no win situation because they were acting like babies saying "make it stop"!  

Answer 10

I think he is. I understand loving the game, but you shouldn't retire, then a few months later, decide you want your job back & get all upset when a new person has filled your spot. The world doesn't work that way, or at least it shouldn't.

There are ways he could be a part of the game he loves without causing all this. Coaching, endorsements, commentating. h**l, he could've been backup to Rodgers. But IMO, his ego wants to be the starter, and that's it.
