| Brett Favre
Some inside information for my relaxed friends. Brett Farve was shown the door because " he was uncoachable". Not because he was wishy washy about coming back. A coach hates nothing more than not being able to tell a player what to do. If Brett came to the sideline after throwing 3 ints McCarthy couldn't bench him. McCarthy's authority is threatened by having Farve on the team. How can McCarthy tell other players what to do if Farve doesn't have to listen. Everyone in the front office breathed a sigh of relief when Brett retired. He is larger than the team and had too much control. First rule of football, Do What The Coach Says! Coach's have huge egos and need to let everyone know they are in control at all times. This is how you get 11 guys to work together. With one complete egomaniac in charge.
That being said I want Farve Back. I enjoy no player more in the history of the game. I hate the fact that sport writers are considering it vogue to tear Brett up in the press. He needs to play again this year for a contender. Is this really what football has come to, the forced retirement of legends?
