It certainly isn't about the money with Favre, but my view is it ought be. As a wealthy man, he may not need the money, but frankly his decision strikes me as selfish. Favre could have done a ton of good for someone other than himself by collecting twenty million. He could have given half of it to (several) charities and enjoyed not paying taxes for a few years, or he could have merely socked it away for his family and safeguarded future generations and his health by retiring when his ability to recover from a major injury is poor. And again, it is pathetic that a grown can not find something worthwhile to do with himself other than play a game in which his skills have substantially eroded. <BR/><BR/>And if Favre, who I do think is a absolute meat head, had any imagination, it might have occurred to him that the good he might have accomplished by accepting the such a large sum of money would have had effects that would resounded far longer than whatever he's likely to accomplish this season.<BR/><BR/>As for it being obvious to him that the can't or shouldn't play, I'm guessing that may come as soon as the Jets first game with the Patriots.Edwardohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03613197383283896190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8902921887068783713.post-50048527169036406932008-08-11T19:27:00.000-07:002008-08-11T19:27:00.000-07:00The job is his.

With the best QB to grace the team since Namath, they're all excited.<BR/><BR/>As for being an idiot for passing up $20 million, I'd have to disagree. It's not always about money. He's already got plenty of that. The guy loves playing football, perhaps to a fault. There will come a time when he can no longer play, and it will be obvious to even him. I don't begrudge him that.DEDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07266406676643270732noreply@blogger.com
