I have a friend who works in sports broadcasting. He's a big Favre fan because he thinks Favre gives a more interesting interview than the guys who step up and give 110% and play it one day at a time. He's less guarded.
Favre became a pariah for the same reason that striking workers get dumped on: he went against his bosses who shoved him out trying to get their boy in. When Favre fought back, they hired Ari Fucking Fleischer to make him look bad. That and they like their Führerprinzip around the Fox River Valley.
