I respect the guy for being honest.


He is one of the more honest guys in sports and i really like this about him. but if you are tired of it, you can stay out of the limelight IMO.. and don't play year round with the everton/Galaxy dual teamship.

Definitely agree that he has earned to go on an interview and say whatever.

But don't complain about the pressures of playing a child's game that many all of the world would give anything to play.

I do appreciate the candid behavior and hope he plays at the next world cup because no matter his role, he will do well at it and help our national team in any way possible

How can you request a Brett Favre and then in the next breadth say you are tired of hearing from a guy?


What? Did you not pay attention? Favre wasn't going out his way here.. he just kept telling reports (when they would ask.. at press conferences...) that he wanted to keep playing football.

Reporters dogged the shite out of him.

Or in the offseason when an "anonymous source" would tell ESPN that Favre wants to play again

Sure, but that doesn't necessarily mean that many of those people, given an appropriate amount of talent, could handle the requirements of being a full-time, high-level athlete.

Relevant quote:

"When you quit football it is not easy, your life becomes difficult. I should know because sometimes I feel I quit too young. I loved the game but I no longer had the passion to go to bed early, not to go out with my friends, not to drink, and not to do a lot of other things,­ the things I like in life."

--Eric Cantona

good quote..

Cantona

My thing is that all jobs are tough, i don't really want to hear about it especially since he is a main reason why he is tired. Get out the limelight; stop doing any and every interview. don't go play for two clubs and the national team.

Retire in grace

Give me a Nolan Ryan or Brett Favre (within reason) over this kind of emo attitude.

You really that every athlete out there is a horse? Stop being so damn naive. The reason that guys like that are generally so revered are because they had the rare ability, stamina, and willpower to fricking crush it every damn day. You have to treat every athlete individually. Not everyone is a horse, but you have to put the best players on the pitch, regardless if they can go a hard 90 minutes every game or just be a super sub.
