Fran Tarkenton Blasts Brett Favre in Radio Interview

“I think it’s despicable. What he put the Packers through last year was not good,” Tarkenton told 790 the Zone in Atlanta. “Here’s an organization that was loyal to him for 17, 18 years, provided stability of organization, provided players. It just wasn’t about Brett Favre. In this day and time, we have glorified the Brett Favre’s [sic] of the world so much, they think it’s about them. He goes to New York and bombs. He’s 39 years old. How would you like Ray Nitschke in his last year (playing for) the Vikings, or I retire, and go play for the Packers. I kind of hope it happens, so he can fail.”

I had an opinion that was not in agreement with Brett Favre's opinion. Now, have the sportswriters and sportscasters across the country, have they just sucked up to Brett Favre and glorified Brett Favre on this subject matter - don't they have an opinion? They certainly haven't expressed it have they?"
