Brett Favre Voted Most Hated Player In NFL In Hollywood Reporter Poll

Favre’s star power has been fading for a couple years with the retirement waffling, the Sterger thing, the massuese thing, etc.

Vick has been on his reclamation project and rehabilitation tour for a year now, and Americans are a forgiving lot. A lot of those things are farther in the rear view mirror than Favre’s antice, and while I don’t think there’s a moral equivalent there, there is a what’s more recent factor.

Once Favre and the Packers kiss and make up and they retire his jersey, he’ll be awesome again…and everyone will forget he ever played for us.

I can understand how Favre wouldn’t be very popular with certain groups of people (i.e. Packers fans, sideline hostesses, masseuses, wives, men who have wives, etc.). That said, how is he more hated than Vick and Roethlisberger?!!! I don’t get it. I really don’t. There’s immature, egocentric, philandering, and general bad taste, but none of those hold a candle to sociopathic.

If the question were who would you least like to have as a neighbor, I bet Vick and Roethlisberger beat out Favre hands down.

I understand hating Vick or Ruthlessraper, but not Brady, Favre, or Romo. Jealously is the main conspirator.

did a thing about how Favre offered Aaron Rodgers no advise for the SB…..lol
 They all need Favre in the spotlight or they have nothing!
I thought about jumping in with the E mail to Ed Werder at ESPN from 1-17-11
where Favre said he thought the Packers would win it all and Rodgers was the best
QB in the playoffs but I would have followed it with how Rodgers Obviously learned
his trade very well from watching Favre so I let it be.

Here’s a good book for those that want to know what exactly it is that they are forgiving Vick for having done: The Lost Dogs: Michael Vick’s Dogs and Their Tale of Rescue and Redemption by Jim Gorant.

When I’m roaming around the series of tubes called the Internet, I’m amazed at the amount of hate there is for the man. I don’t quite understand it. Everyone talks like he should have retired in 2007, but 2009 was one of the best years in his career.

Go figure.

a reputable sports site, with knowledgeable sports fans?

You say people hate Favre way too much for sexually harassing a female. You say people don’t hate Ben Roethlisberger nearly enough for…sexually harassing a female. Now I don’t think it’s too much of an assumption to say that Ben’s actions were worse but we really don’t know what either situation actually entailed, particularly Ben’s. I also think you’re way off-base in thinking that the Sterger debacle is the main reason that Brett’s number one on this list. The main reason to me that he would appear at the top of a list like this is merely the INSANE amount of media coverage on him even now that he’s completely retired

I agree, I hate favre because I don’t understand why he wins so many of his games when it’s the 4th qurter, and 2 minits left. Im not complaining or anything but why can’t he have a good game in the 1st, 2nd, or, 3rd qurter. You would think it would be the hardest time to win when the game has 2 minits left!
