There are politically biased sports radio programs?
You're kidding, right? Do you listen to any? And you have to ask this question?

I was unaware that in order to criticize anybody, you have to be more accomplished than them. If that were the case, this forum wouldn't exist.
You don't quite get my point. The NFL is the most violent and brutal team sport in the world. How would YOU like it if you had five or so 300 pound guys running toward you, dozens of times every Sunday, just itching to slam you into the ground and give you concussion?
Brett Favre is not a perfect guy, but he has been a truly great athlete in the greatest team sport in the world, American Football.

He can decide to give it a go but in doing so he is being selfish. He is making it all about him. If they were in the hunt for a playoff spot I would not feel this way. But they're not, Adrian Peterson didn't play, conditions were awful, Favre should have stayed on the bench. And to not take any snaps with the offense all week, pathetic.

He's been a decent QB for a very long time. His longevity is his greatest attribute and it tends to make people overvalue him. He was selfish to start last night, I don't see how people can argue against that.
I think playing this game makes the streak official.
Instead of playing 300+ straights games and never playing again, he played 300+ games, missed a game and then played again.
He was not being selfish. It is not like he was doing it to keep a streak alive (which ended last week). He was doing it because he wanted to help the team.
The sad truth is Favre at 40 percent is better than Joe Webb or Jackson at 100 percent.
The guy has been played every game for the last ~18 years. He has the right not to sit the bench for the last 3 games of his career. He won't be back next year. He almost didn't come back this year and he had the best year of his life last year. Now he has a broken foot and if he gets surgery it will take months to recover.
Also, he played well while he was in there today.

Help the team do what exactly?

he doesn't choose who plays. how is that so hard for you to understand?
The other Viking QBs are dreadful. The Vikings are sinking while the Bears and Packers improve in their division. The Vikings' immediate future is pretty bleak.

I totally disagree. And I will add that I was no fan of Favre coming back this year. But once he did, and took 25 mil to play, how is it selfish to play last night?
He could have packed it in and NO ONE would have questioned it. He was hurt, the team was out of it, the weather was horrible. If anything, playing last night was the best thing he's done all year.

Two erroneous assumptions. First, it's a delusion to think the coach has more sway on Favre than Favre has over the coach, who established the dynamics of that relationship by going on bended knee to kiss the ring.
Secondly, whether he retires or not (with his honest word being sacrosanct) he will not go gentle into that good night. He loves the camera far too much, beleives his opinions should be scattered as freely as Halloween candy, and will end up on a sports network until he gets caught with his finger in the till, the till be code word for some intern's coochie.
You do know that Childress got fired right?
Yes. And you do know the fact that the last coach to call out Favre is jobless is not lost on Frazier?
He's not selfish at all. He shares pics of himself freely.
