Then he says..."well I'm the best option for this team"... and ... "sometimes you have to be a man"...I love his toughness, but in that instaance, it hurt the team.

Favre played the entire second half of the season with a torn bicep when he played for the Jets... The jets lost 4/5 games even though they started 8-3 and missed the playoffs mainly because Favre was terrible, injured, and couldn't throw.
Jordan rushed himself back against the Celtics, if you remember he broke his foot in the middle of his second season the Bulls barely made the playoffs and all his coaches were telling him to sit out that year because there was a huge chance he was coming back too soon and would re-aggravate it. He didn't listen and he scored 63. But the Bulls lost the series anyway.
The point is players lie about how they feel and push themselves even when coaches tell them not to play. Favre didn't even want his injury reported and Jordan ignored his coaches. Players are going to always lie about being injured, cause if they do not they get torn apart like LT or Cutler.
