SubscribeGiving Favre a break
Not everyone is jumping on the Favre/Traitor bandwagon. Some accuse him of just being in it to pick up a huge paycheck while others say he should accept the fact that he can no longer compete on a professional level and call it a career. But our old friend, Sid Dorfman takes a kindler, gentler philosophy in trying to understand Favre’s rationale. In today’s Star-Ledger, Dorfman writes:
You have to know this about athletes: It isn’t talent alone that makes them what they are. More than anything, it is the embedded competitiveness in every fiber of their being. If they lacked it, they never would have become great in the first place.
That desire to compete is always there, and at the finish it has betrayed many [athletes]. But they are not to be ridiculed.
