Interesting convo between me and my father (caution: Involves Brett Favre)

[CP]

So my father calls me last night to laugh at Peyton Manning in my ear...So we talk for a little bit then he basically starts rambling about the media and how they cover things. Then:

Pops: 'The media loves to act like Brett Favre is an all time great'

Me: 'Uh, he is?'

Pops: According to what?'

Me: His resume, everything he's accomplished in the league?

Pops: No way, how many rockheaded interceptions has the man thrown? And he continually gets a pass

Me: No doubt that Favre is the last guy I'd want in a big game but he's still an all time great QB.

Pops: The guy is in the same boat as Peyton Manning. All stats, little to show for it in the SB column..

Me: Doesn't change the fact that the man had one of the greatest stretches in NFL history during his prime, or that he won 3 MVPs, or that he's amongst the tops in damn near every relevant QB category.

Pops: What about QB rating?

Me: QB rating, what's that?

Pops: you may not like it, but it's relevant to the discussion. Favre is one of the most overrated QBs ever. Hell give me Troy Aikman and Ben Roethlisberger over Favre

Me: QUE?!?! Troy Aikman? He isn't a pimple on Favre's arse. I can understand not liking the man, because God knows I like Bett Favre about as much as I like root canals but that is blind hatred. Aikman isn't on the same galaxy as Favre

Pops: Stop defending your boy.. <----LMAO
