Ever look at his track record? THIS is why he gets attention from everywhere.
I hope he plays another year or two. I really think he can.
As a Green Bay Packer fan, and having lived most of my life in Green Bay, I know Brent's record well (no that isn't a typo). 24 INTs in 1993, almost being benched for Mark Brunell (Mariucci convinced Homlgren not to do it). A collapse in SB XXXII. 6 INTs against the Rams in the playoffs. Having an awful game, being largely responsible for the Falcons beating the Packers in the playoffs after the 2002 season (the first ever playoff loss at Lambeau Field). Throwing a game-losing INT against the Eagles in the 2003 season playoffs. 29, 29!!!! INTs in 2005. Throwing to Driver in OT in the NFCCG after the 2007 season (which was picked off, resulting in the game winning FG for the Giants), when three other receivers were wide open. The whole game he played very bad and even in pre-game looked like he wanted to be anywhere but on that field that day. And of course we know about his collapse the last month of the 2008 season with the Jets, and his final play in the NFCCG last year. He has as many SB titles as Trent Dilfer or Brad Johnson. And he needed perhaps the best special teams ever assembled and the #1 defense in the NFL that year.
Favray has always been a diva. Even in his early years in the NFL. Ask anyone who lived in Green Bay, there are plenty of stories to go around. He doesn't play with the high school kids out of charity, it stokes his ego. If he was serious about training for the season he would train with other NFL players, like all other NFL players do.
