Brett Favre

I think is the most difficult topic I've ever "tackled" (haha, punny!) here at This Website is Underrated dot com.

That's because when you talk about Brett Favre it ends up being a "damned if you do, damned if you don't", kind of situation. Look, Brett Favre is overrated. Really overrated. I think at this point in his career, we can all agree on that. The problem is, Brett Favre ends up being more overrated due the the inscessant coverage he receives from most major news outlets.

So, by giving him his own topic, am I drinking the same kool-aid that led ESPN and the rest down the path of nonstop Favre worship; thus rendering my own beloved website overrated as well?

No. You are about to read a short, concise summary of Brett Favre's career. I refuse to give him anymore, because he doesn't deserve it.

I hate Brett Favre.

I have my whole life. I think it starts with his name. Why isn't it Farve? I understand he's French, but even still it wouldn't be pronounced "farve". So that's number one, Brett. You have a stupid name.

Second, it's often noticed that Brett Favre holds "every major passing record in the game". Which is true. When they say "every" they mean every. That means the shitty ones too. Like most career interceptions thrown, and most career playoff interceptions and most playoff losses. Also, I'd argue the reason he holds so many records is not because he's that impressive a quarterback, it's because he's played so many freaking games.

Third, I dislike Brett Favre because he plays like a kid out there. This would normally be something that I would admire in a player. It's a sport, sports are supposed to be fun, just go out there and play. But whatever reason, when Brett Favre plays like a kid out there, I get annoyed. It's often used to explain away the fact that he will often throw drive killing interceptions, or make horrible decisions on offense. But no matter, he's just playing like a kid out there. Fuck that, he's a professional athlete, this is his job. At my job, when I make sandwiches, if I dump a whole bunch of mayo on your sandwich, a pair of announcers don't explain my mistake away because I'm making sandwiches like a kid out there. More like I'm making sandwiches like a moron out there. Which is how I think Brett Favre plays. Like a moron out there.

Finally, and I can't prove any of these these, but c'mon the guy is such an attention whore, he's lazy, he's not good anymore, he's playing for what is arguably one of the best teams in the league, he's old, he's ugly (I can prove those), he was addicted to pain killers, he advertises for frickin' Wranglers Jeans, he sucks, he used to be a packer. I could go on and on.

But I won't. Because that would be buying into the Brett Favre mystique. And I just refuse to grant the guy even one sentence of space. Because he doesn't deserve it.

Ignore everything I have just wrote.

Favre sux.

VERDICT:
OVERRATED
