ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith sounds off on the Brett Favre situation.
I’m not a Stephen A. Smith fan at all, but I’ve got to agree with him on a couple of points, mainly the one about Favre chosing to retire and Aaron Rodgers deserving his shot (even though Favre is arguably still the best option in 2008). I don’t want to get into the whole love affair thing because the media is always going to bow down to great athletes like Favre. But Smith has a point that it’s time to move on. Favre has every right to change his mind, but the Packers have ever right to move in another direction if they so choose – regardless of how much #4 has meant to the franchise. (I say this knowing full well I might get stabbed by Packers fans.)
