That's when my sympathy for Favre plummeted. Everyone else could understand that the Packers had to consider their future, Rodgers was approaching possible free agency, etc. But Favre couldn't.

It must have been hard for Unitas to be let go so that he had to play in San Diego. It must have been hard for Montana to pass the torch in San Fran and move on to KC. But neither of those guys acted like a big entitled baby, which was Favre's response.
