Brett Favre: Fans Who Are Sick of Me Never Really Loved Me
Posted Aug 03, 2009 10:30AM By MICHAEL DAVID SMITH
After declaring last week that his on-again, off-again, on-again, off-again retirement was back on again, Brett Favre acknowledged that his popularity has taken a hit. But Favre says that if you got sick of Favre the last two offseasons, that means you never really loved him.
Favre tells Peter King of SI.com that he knows he was a beloved figure after his great 2007 season in Green Bay, and that he's not so much anymore. But Favre says that just means the fans who said they loved him back then didn't really understand him:
"Well, then they really didn't love me in the first place,'' he said. "Whatever. Nothing I can do about it. This whole situation, if I had it to do all over again, there're a few things I'd do different. But wouldn't we all? I don't expect everyone to like what I've done the last two years. That's life.
"For people who'd question why I did this, I didn't do it for any other reason than to try to play football for a team [Minnesota] I really wanted to play for. It had nothing to do with revenge against the Packers. Nothing. It wasn't about getting back at [Green Bay GM] Ted Thompson. How much more clear can I make it?"
