Brett Favre didn’t seem overly enthusiastic about the 2010 season even before it started. A disastrous 3-6 start with off-field embarrassment hasn’t helped matters.
After his latest defeat, Favre was seen talking to Chicago’s Brian Urlacher. Jay Glazer of FOXSports.com asked on his AfterParty show what sweet nothings Favre whispered in Urlacher’s ear.
“It wasn’t sweet nothings, I don’t know, it was weird. He was upset, it was probably his last game at Soldier Field for sure. He wasn’t himself. He seemed down in the dumps. I felt bad for him,” Urlacher said.
Glazer pointed out that Favre was probably down because the Bears just pounded the Vikings towards irrelevency.
“Nah . . . usually even after you lose, you’ve still got the rest of the season,” Urlacher said. “But he seemed like he was out of it. Like I said, I feel bad for the guy.”
No matter how you feel about Favre -- and we know many have enjoyed watching this Vikings season implode -- there’s no denying that he’s enduring a deeply depressing season.
It’s almost impossible for an NFL star to go out on top. The 2009 season was Favre’s best shot, and part of him seemed to know it even before this year started.
