Great vs. Outstanding

Brett Favre says "All I can say is it's been a great year," immediately after at a gut punch loss in the NFC championship to the Saints. A game in which the Vikings should have won were it not for five turnovers - two of which were Favre INTs - including one on their fateful last drive when they might have attempted a long FG for the win.

I wonder (but highly doubt) whether Favre will be crucified by the local media for putting a positive spin on their season after a wrenching loss like Donovan McNabb was for suggesting the Eagles had an "outstanding" season following their own playoff loss. Methinks not.
