Being on TV has done him no favors - most everyone thinks he's a prick now.

Brett Favre

At one point was one of the most popular players in the NFL because of his gunslinger mentality and toughness. Now he's most remembered for the retirement fiascos and just being a drama queen...and also texting pictures of his dong.

Towards the end of his career I just wanted to see him go away and would have been just fine if he was never heard from for the next 10 years.

Why's that, just curious?

Personally, I don't think he's really acting any differently, but lots of people are finally coming around and starting to like him, i thought that was interesting.

I think it is cause he is not shredding their defense anymore (SEC fans, except for LSU).

My answer is Jurgen Klinsmann.

Lukewarm about him until yesterday. Now, I am incredibly butthurt.

Good one.

John Elway's still a douche.
Robert Smith has upgraded as an announcer.
Chris Carter has come a long way.

JJ Redick, went from being the most despised college player on the planet to a guy people generally have good things to say about now.

I used to fricking hate Tyler Hansbrough. Now that I haven't heard his name since his college days I don't hate him anymore.
