You guys don't like it because it confirms what most people don't like to admit. Brett Favre is bigger than the Jets. He's bigger than the Vikings and he's bigger than the Packers. He is always the biggest story in the game he is playing. Good or bad, the newspapaers, the talk shows, the pre game, the off season. It all revolves around "is he coming back" or "what can he do for this team or that team" or "what do former players think about him".

Reggie White, Jerry Rice. Probably 2 of the 5 or 10 best players of all time. When they retired, barely a blip on the radar when they went to other teams late in their career or retired. Face it, He IS bigger than the game.

Times change. The internet is far more relevant now than it was when White retired FOR A YEAR then asked for his release and joined the Panthers. As for Rice, it was a huge thing when he left the 49ers to the Raiders, at least it was on ESPN.

Favre is not bigger than the Packers, but he provides a good drama story as well as played for nearly TWO decades which means MANY are familiar with his name and play, thus, peaks interest.
