Brett Favre...smh!

Although I would like to say, “poor Brett!” I cannot because the fact is that you brought this all on yourself. It is your fault that you and the Minnesota Vikings had a miserable season. It is your fault that you did not know when to take a seat on the bench for the good of your team and for the better judgment towards your body. Yes, Brett, it is even your fault that you are now facing a mound of legal trouble. The Vikings did not perform they were supposed to, but not surprisingly, they were depending on you to pick up the slack. You failed to do that.

This week, news hit that Minnesota Vikings quarterback, Brett Favre, is being sued by two former New York Jets’ massage therapists. Days after Favre announced his retirement for the umpteenth time. Christina Scavo and Shannon O’Toole are accusing the former Jets quarterback of sexual harassment during his time with the organization. The pair cites that because they objected Favre’s text messages which suggested a threesome, they lost their part-time job as massage therapists for the Jets.

Brett, your whole world is starting to fall apart around you. Just last week, the NFL fined you $50K for failing to cooperate in the (somewhat) open investigation into the photo scandal. Deadspin.com published very graphic photos and text messages that allegedly came from Favre to Jenn Sterger, a hostess working with the Jets around the same time.

I cannot help but to wonder (and so should you, Brett) what would have happened if you would have just stayed retired after leaving Green Bay? It does not appear at this time that you would have been sued. The NFL would not be investigating you and your poor body would be in much better shape. When I watched the Bears/Vikings game at the University of Minnesota after you hit your head on that frozen field and you gingerly walked off of the field and onto the bench, I could not help but to shake my head. You went from glory to shame and are a few steps away from straight out disgrace.

Truthfully, after all of your team switching and retired/not retired limbo you would have to admit that it is your fault. If I only stayed retired? Was it worth it, Brett? In all fairness, at the end of the day, you just might end up in the Hall of Fame without any snickering about your public disgrace. The miracles you performed on the field and famous game play and trickery just may overshadow any of this in the end. Or at least you better hope.
