I don't think anyone's singling out Farve, per se. And no one, at least I'm speaking for myself, is suggesting that he hasn't had a storied career. Because he has!

It's just human nature and perhaps cultural to examine people, both the good and the bad, that we hold in high regard. And we tend to make judgements accordingly. If this was, let's say......Joe Blow QB, we wouldn't give a rat's ass if he stayed, left or held a thousand press conferences. Because Brette has endeared so many people to himself over the years, he's going to take some heat, people are going to take some shots. It just comes with the territory, unfortunately.

I think in some weird sorta way, all of this back and forth, and the critism thrown his way legitimatizes the fact that he is an NFL great.
