Yeah I know it's getting pretty tiresome, but here's my take on Brett Favre's legacy.

Take a look when you get minute.

I rarely write an article that I myself am confident in before hearing feedback. But I think this is a totally new spin on something.

Just another interesting read from a fellow BR member...and how cool is it that you are being read in Denmark! Keep up the good work!

Found your article through an igoogle packers news gadget. I'm in Denmark (country in northern Europe, pop. 5.500.000). This just to tell you that your piece is gaining wordwide fame.

I'm writing this because I was genuinely surprised to find that you're an amateur writer, i'd never heard of bleacrereport before. Your cool and level headed way of cutting through the noise and smoke into the core of the matter is exemplary. You're showing readers how important it is to always, always consider WHY somebody is telling you something. An exercise I'm sure you're practising frequently in these campaign weeks (but that's another matter entirely)

Keep it up.

Hey again,

Thanks for posting your side of the Favre debate. Your thoughts and opinions are well-developed and add a lot to the conversations. We may agree to disagree, but I respect how you feel and you do an excellent job of giving valid reasons for why you feel that way.

I look forward to sharing our thoughts and opinions on other sports topics as well in the future.

Steve
