Seriously, what's up with all the Favre hate going around?

Recently thr rumors of Favre making a second comeback to play for the Vikings has picked up credibility as Favre is scheduled to meet with Brad Childress.

This has brought on a lot of talk about how people are sick of, or have lost all respect for Favre.

Besides the fact that many seem to resent the guy for media coverage that's not his fault (he is partially responsible, but not as responsible as ESPN or the Packers who wouldn't grant his release in the first place), there seems to be at least one more huge misconception about Favre.

That misconception is that he is ruining his legacy by coming out of retirement.

Last season, Favre went from being the best player on the Packers to being the best player on the Jets. The Jets may have broken down at the end of the season, but it was the TEAM that broke down. Favre received most of the blame (gee, a quarterback receiving the blame for their team losing. Who's ever heard of that?), but Thomas Jones no longer looked like tha same back either. Not to mention the play of the defense. Everyone seems to forget that while Favre was healthy the Jets looked like the team to beat in the AFC.

So how can Favre be ruining his legacy by  first choosing to leave the team he loved and played his heart out for and then being the single biggest reason why the jets doubled their win total from the previous season?
