40 and Fabulous

Favre is rewriting the rules for what a 40 year old QB can do. Frankly I’m happy about that.  I hope our guy follows that path

Most NFL quarterbacks who survive for a long time overcome their diminished skills by drawing on their knowledge of game built on years of experience, usually in a backup role. Favre, older than most older quarterbacks, still does it by making off-the-cuff plays other quarterbacks don’t. It might have been quaint when he was 25. At 40, it’s a minor f*ckin; miracle.

But none of that matters, because the guy’s a little weird. You know, can’t make up his mind, that sort of thing.  Apparently, he’s made a fool of himself in recent years, and his game has tanked.

I’m not buying that either. Early in his career, the pundits convinced us we loved Favre when we didn’t. Now anti-pundits who look and smell an awful lot like regular pundits are convincing us we don’t love him when maybe it’s about time we should.
