JoMal I hadn't heard that about the comeback player of the year. That's just appalling. I'm not prone to sympathy for the Raiders but I feel for you having to watch him bag it like that and then go to New England.
Reality the best I can do is think of it as the LaDanian/Gates bandwagon instead of the Norvous/Rivers bandwagon.
And Laker Fan you actually scored some points with me for your post. By calling Favre the comeback player of the year you are at least acknowledging that he wasn't playing well before this year. That's what I hate most about Favre and the toadie announcers. Almost no one would admit that over the past few years he has made some absolutely boneheaded plays that hurt his team. Any other quarterback who chucks a wobbly pass in to triple coverage would be ripped apart. But hey, when it's Favre that's just him being an 'ol gunslinger. Along with that goes the bullshyte when he completes a pass against tight coverage announcers always go off about how "only Favre could have made that play."
Uh... you mean only Favre, Brady, Peyton, Roethlisberger, Hasselbeck, Romo, Bulger, Brees and Palmer? Yeah, that's what I thought.
