Listen, I don’t like it any more than you do. But it’s June,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the NFL landscape is barren, and if one recently-retired NFL player makes disparaging comments about another recently-retired (but then unretired) NFL player, I’m going to tell you about it. Thus, we have another Brett Favre story. We’re all going to have to suck it up and deal with it together.
It’s not so bad, though. It’s a story about people being sick about Brett Favre, which, according to one guy,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], includes a lot of the players in the NFL. Safety-turned-NBC studio filler Rodney Harrison was on the Dan Patrick show yesterday, and had this to say about the Brett Favre media circus.
“From the player’s I’ve talked to, a lot of them seem to think Brett Favre is pretty selfish,” Favre said. “Each and every offseason bringing so much attention to himself. It’s just really a disappointment to hear that time and time again.
“If you’ve been in the league 13, 14, 15 years or so you know if you want to play. The circus shouldn’t have to go on for three to four years. It’s just a disappointment. Then the media they’re just so caught up and in love with Brett Favre … It’s ridiculous because a lot of guys are doing good, positive things in the National Football League and those keep things keep getting overlooked.”
I agree, Mr. Harrison. And I also enjoy the smell of you grilling a sacred media cow.
But in fairness to Favre, I don’t think it’s his fault that the good things NFL players do are overlooked by the media. Those things have always been overlooked. Give a media guy a choice — and I’m including myself in this — and 99 times out of 100 he’ll take a story about an idiot getting a DUI over a story about a guy spending a weekend volunteering with Habitat for Humanity. For whatever the reasons, that’s just how it’s always gone. You can’t pin that on Favre.
The rest of it, though? Bingo.
