| Re: Report: Favre Will Retire
I was just playing Devil's Advocate with the INT thing...
You will never ever mistake me for a Favre apologist. I think Favre was a great player whose career accomplishments were exaggerated by hack journalists like Peter King, who would have you believe that Favre is God himself.
As for the comparing championships thing...It's a TEAM sport. You can't judge the accomplishments of a player on the quality of the team around him.
Is Ted Williams not a great player because he never won a championship? Ernie Banks? Jim Kelly? Karl Malone? Charles Barkley? Barry Sanders?
Barry Sanders played 10 years for one of the mosy dysfunctional franchises in sports, and if you say he's not inthe top 5 running backs of all time, you're out of your fucking mind.
OK, and let's move past the A-Rod-Lowell for a second...how about A-Rod vs. Jeter? Do you really think Jeter is a "greater" player than A-Rod?
And lastly, before this year I NEVER said Brady was better than Manning. Even before Peyton won the Super Bowl I ranked him ahead of Brady. You must have me mistaken with someone else.
I actually think most of your logic is sound, with the exception of the championships thing |
