That F—— Favre

Winning excuses everything. And so Brett Favre’s ceaseless I’m-going-to-play (no, I’m not!) (yes, I am!) act, capturing and then breaking the hearts of Jet fans in less than a season (usually players have the courtesy to take two or three years to inflict this kind of pain), and somehow in the twilight of his career becoming a bigger story than the rest of the NFL combined — and that counts Tom Brady and Gisele — doesn’t matter, because with his ridiculous last second touchdown pass against the 49ers and then leading the Vikings over his former Packers, the undefeated nearly-40 QB won and looked good doing it while earning a reported $10 million this season.

That said, he still lost Cameron Diaz to Ben Stiller in There’s Something About Mary, and he’ll have to live with it. (It’s a small consolation, but New Yorkers take what we can get.)
