Ungrateful Favre

“I see the Green Bay Packers are having as much trouble getting rid of Brett Favre as Penn State is getting rid of Joe Paterno, except Penn State didn’t offer Joe Paterno $20 million. I think Favre should have taken the $20 million and ran with it. These athletes are so ungrateful.” - August 6, 2008
“We are supposed to think Brett Favre is this sacrificial person for turning down millions of dollars to stay retired. If I was a Packer fan, I would want to boo him out. It’s ridiculous he turned down millions to not retire.” - August 6, 2008
Forget the $20 million dollars, these two situations are quite different because Favre retired. If Paterno would retire following this season, and then call Tim Curley next July saying that he had “an itch” to coach again, then we might have a similar situation.
You think Favre is ungrateful for not taking the $20 million? I assume that if Favre would have taken the money, you would’ve called the Fan Line saying “these athletes are so greedy.”
Favre simply wants to play football. How is that ungrateful? Seems more like the Packers are ungrateful that a Hall of Fame quarterback is willing to give them another season.
