Burying Favre

Philly's own Sal Pal splashes a dose of cold water on the Brett Favre deification. It's stunning stuff: ", Favre won just three of his last 10 playoff games. Eli Manning had more postseason wins in a 29-day span this past season than Favre had in his last decade with the Green Bay Packers."

Or, "But no matter how many dumb passes he threw and how many playoff games he lost, Favre remains immune to criticism."

Ouch!

Sal even touches on the two worst INTs of Favre's career - the in January to Corey Webster and the one four years ago to the Eagles' Brian Dawkins (remarkably, outside Philadelphia that terrible -- TERRIBLE - pass/INT has somehow been forgotten). That both came in overtime of playoff games has gotten short shrift from the media all these years.

Indeed, where was this realistic look at Favre's faults and the criticism of the media hagiography of #4 for the past ten years?!
