I will be very interested in seeing how the NFL handles this one. I don’t think Brett Favre is a dirty player, nothing in his 100 years of playing in the NFL suggest that, but this was a dirty and illegal crackback block that could have ended Houston Texans DB Eugene Wilson season.
In classic Brett Favre fashion, even though he almost tore Eugene Wilson’s knee to shreds it was Favre who got up like he was hurt. Of course the sickening “bath water slurping” by Jon Gruden acted as if Favre hadn’t almost ended someone season, but decided to concentrate on why Favre would put himself in danger.
At least the referees were not blinding by “God” Favre and called a penalty on him. “Dictator” Goodell loves to hand out punishment and fines so this is a perfect example to show the league there is no bias. If Ocho Cinco can get fined $5000 for an orange chinstrap, Brett should at least be fined $15,000 for that hit in my opinion.
A little off topic, but Brett is going around telling people he has a cracked rib. As someone who had a cracked rib as a teenager I am comfortable saying if a 40 year man truly had a cracked rib he wouldn’t be playing three quarters of football.
We always want to call high profile wide receivers “divas”, but it is pretty obvious the #1 diva in the league wears a #4 jersey that fits like it was bought at Target.
