Brett Favre

Post Reply New Topic

Does anyone else in here see some very strong Aspie traits in Brett Favre? For most of his playing career he has been focused like a laser on being a QB (and being VERY good at it, albeit as a sometimes uncoachable total free-spirit), has little else in the line of salable skills and is completely unable to make up his mind - he had been unable to decide whether or not to retire from the NFL for several seasons and only a few days ago decided (for good?) to hang up the helmet, cleats and pads.

He can also recall in total detail EVERY play that he has ever been in during his 19 season NFL career.

At first, I thought you were reaching for straws, but, look at these interviews and his movements.

The guy could have A.S., hence why he doesn't understand why he's such a total jackass for ditching his new teammates at training camp and his old teammates for playing for one of their hated rivals.

Could be. And then there is the way he spells his name.

That's what I was thinking.

But as a viking's fan I'm excited by this, and believe if nothing else it will be kind of amusing to have brett on our side.

I wonder if Favre's habit of throwing idiotic interceptions is related. Perhaps something very unexpected happens before he throws and he can't cope with the breakdown in the pass patterns.

Me too. Vikings fan here.

Favre has a habit of throwing bone-headed interceptions. I wonder if that's an autistic thing: a subtle breakdown in pass routes? Fooled by disguised coverage? Distracted by something else? Somebody get the tape!
