In today's USA Today, Fox analyst and ex-Steeler QB Terry Bradshaw stated that Vikings QB Brett Favre wants to "embarrass them, put it in their face. And nothing would throw it in their face more than winning the Super Bowl."
Bradshaw commented in Week 1 that he was "fed up" with Favre, weeks after the QB ended his second retirement to join the Vikings. Two months later, the Vikings were riding a wave of success that led to an NFC North title...and Bradshaw acknowledged his criticism was wrong.
The sports media needs to shut up when it comes to speaking for any athlete, including Brett Favre. I don't doubt that Favre has a chip on his shoulder concerning his former team. So would I. And sure Favre said part of his thinking - when he played for the Jets last season - was to get back at Packer GM Ted Thompson....NOT the Packers. Ted Thompson - in part. Who wouldn't after that fiasco? But he never made any comment remotely resembling the one from last season THIS year. And if you think that's Brett's prime motivation for joining the Vikings and aspiring to go the Super Bowl, it's my opinion that you're dead wrong. And I'm right...because NO ONE really knows for certain what ANYBODY's thinking.
