During the Vikings-Texans preseason game on Monday night, Brett Favre threw a crackback block at the knees of Houston safety Eugene Wilson, which many are calling a dirty play.
Mike Tirico and Ron Jaworski were right to call Favre out. You can’t go for a guy’s knees when he’s not looking, not too mention the play is illegal. And I thought Brett might have a cracked rib? Apparently the rib must not be hurting him too much if he’s willing to throw his body at the knees of a opposing defender.
This isn’t to say that Favre is a dirty player, because he’s not. As far as I can remember, this is the first time where he’s been involved in a play that could be deemed as “dirty” and one dirty play doesn’t make him a dirty player. (I feel like I’m writing lyrics for a rap song with how many times I referenced dirty in that last sentence.)
That said, Favre shouldn’t have gone low like that and he deserves to be criticzed for his actions.
