Favre is a giant piece of shit. But I’ve learned that if you don’t separate who players are as people versus what they do to help win games, it would be impossible to be a sports fan.
I don’t regret rooting for tyreek when he was helping us win and if he didn’t become such a worse teammate over time, still would. I was fine with Kareem except where he betrayed the front offices trust. I am ok with rashee coming back except that I hope he’s truly learned his lesson. Where it matters is if their attitude or behavior fractures the locker room or makes them unreliable (either because they stop working hard or because they are a walking distraction/suspension risk). Then you have guys like OJ and Darren sharper who of course crossed a way bigger line.
But yes when it comes to who you continue to treat as heroes after they’re done, that’s something different. Favre was hella fun to watch. But I’m good to now call him a total piece of shit
