Favre hate amuses me. Few rag on AP for costing the Vikes that playoff game - but most (especially Packer fans) blame Favre.
Vikes are not even anywhere close to .500 that season without him.
I'm not a packers fan, and I have no problem with people pinning that loss on Farve. AP (don't like him) hurt their chances but it was a skill based can't be helped type of thing. What farve did was mind numbingly stupid and was characteristically like every other year he ever played. Ego bigger than brain. He had 3 good years when Holmgren kept him on a heavy dose of the stupid vaccine. But other than that he cost teams more super Bowls than he got them to by playing when he shouldn't have.
Yes he was a great talent, but he was blindingly stupid too often. I honestly belive that if it wasn't for the madden machine love and him playing for himself and the record, when he was actually a detriment to the team, he'd barely be hof worthy.
