Sorry Brett, no one believes what you say anymore

(Every time Brett tells a lie, he touches his right shoulder. It's science, look it up)

The Vikings are winning games and Brett Favre isn't the focal point of the team. Uh oh, time to force yourself back into the spotlight, right Brett?

After the Jets were fined for not adding Favre to the injury list last season, Brett told reporters yesterday that he thinks it was wrong the league to fine them. "They did everything that I felt they were supposed to" he said after calling the fines "very unfair".

Hate to break it to you Brett, but if you thought that the Jets did what they were supposed to with you, you wouldn't have said anything in the first place. Unfortunately, based on everything that has happened over the past few years, you have to take every sound bite with a grain of salt. When he says that he holds no hard feelings toward the team and that he was simply explaining what happened with his throwing shoulder last season when he brought up the Jets' failure to report, it has now become almost impossible to believe him.

Again, if Favre hadn't said anything about the Jets and their injury report, nothing would have ever come of it. But as it stands, the Jets and former coach Mangini are now out a combined $125,000 because of his simple explanation. Is it wrong what the Jets did; absolutely. Did Brett really need to throw them under the bus like did; absolutely not. This is just the lastest chapter in the "Brett Favre is more important than the team" saga. Do you really think every team in the NFL doesn't do the same thing? Give me a break; Tom Brady could be walking around with his throwing shoulder dragging on the ground and Belichick wouldn't report it. But, because Favre feels personally offended or wronged by the situation, heads up for the wheels!

Consider this, how much of a role did Favre have in the Jets not placing him on the injury report? We all know that he has the mentality (or ego, which ever you prefer) that he can play through anything, and always has. So, is it beyond the realm of possibility that he told the Jets he wasn't really injured and that they didn't need to list him as injured? This is Brett Favre we're talking about here, it's been at least 3 years since you could take something he says at face value.

This is really troubling stuff coming from a player that was once universally respected by all football fans. Now we've reached a point where if Favre held a press conference and stated that the sky is blue, the sun rises in the morning and sets at night, and the grass is green, I'm going to have to take a look outside.
