Mr. T is an attention whore... it's that plain and simple. He likes to make the big splash, and trading away a valuable 3rd round pick for a pre madonna, over the hill QB was reckless. Brett Favre is not hungry and he has nothing left to prove. He makes excuses and is a slave to the cult of personality.
The NY Jets hit the home stretch of the season in 08' and their 'leader', #4, ran out of gas. Nine months later Brett decided to throw Mr. T and the entire Jets organization under the bus in order to convince his new teammates, the Vikings fans and most importantly himself, that he was not to blame for the collapse. History shows us that all great leaders make excuses and pass the buck every chance they get.
I'm sitting here watching the Titans and Steelers battling it out in the NFL's big "Kickoff" game. It's almost halftime in a 0-0 defensive battle. Pittsburgh just blocked a short field goal attempt by Bironas. Players like Polamalu, Ward , Holmes and Chris Johnson.... these guys play with a fire and a desire. You don't have to be young to have that fire... look at guys like Collins (36) and James Farrior (34). They are perfect examples.
I would like to think we have players with that kind of heart. I would also like to think thats why they ran Brett of of NY. I'd rather go 4-12 with Sanchez or Clemens than 12-4 with #4. Good riddens!
