Favre owed us nothing, and we owed him nothing. He OPTED for the Vikings, for PERSONAL CHILDISH reasons, imo.

It was not 100% to get back at the Packers. Again, the Vikings were the best team that needed just a QB.

I very much dislike that he played with the Vikings, but at that time, with their roster, I can understand that choice.

That's a fair reading of the situation at the time. I'll call it 75% to get back at the Packers.

In comparison, Minnesota was 10th and 14th in scoring defense and total rushing yards respectively. The Jets also went to a conference championship. They did this in spite of having Mark Sanchez at quarterback.

Had Brett stayed in New York and played at the same level he did for the Vikings that year, he might have actually won another ring.

If he really wanted another SB shot, he should have remained committed to the team he was already on.

instead of dicking around.
