1. Both of them.
As much as I dislike the Packers I always thought Brett had some class in him--until this little fiasco.

As for Manny, I'm sick and tired of his whining and temper tantrums. He wants out? Then fucking trade him and be done with it.

2. At least you know Manny is Manny---
Brett though has disappointed me quite a bit.

7. I never was a fan of the Let Manny Be Manny mentality...
...its clear they can't win the close ones with him...he's a distraction.

3. The Answer Is Yes
I vote for both.

But, part of the Favre thing is the broadcasters fault. Last night, on ESPN News, they spent more time on the Favre saga than they did on the BoSox/Angels, Cubs/Brewers, ChiSox/Twins, and Mets/Marlins COMBINED!!! Four games involving first place teams and they spent less coverage time on all 4 combined than they did on a guy who said he retired!

Boring.

8. Exactly,
I've accepted that since I live in Massachusetts, I have to listen to the Manny stuff (that comes up every year just before the trade deadline), because it's local "news", but 5-10 minutes a night on Favre on Sportscenter is wearing me down. In the end, Manny will stay put and Favre will be traded out of the division (possibly out of the conference) and have a mediocre year.

Farve, the "gunslinger", will shoot is way out of town and the Packers will be hot to get him off the roster.
Manny will play out the year, the Sox won't pick up his $20 million dollar team option, and he'll be playing for the Dodgers next year.

4. Brett by far
this back and forth retirement whining has been going on far too long. His poor performance in last year's NFC Championship game is, to me, a sign that he should stay retired. Either that or sign with a warm weather team but please..just shut up.

Manny is being Manny.

6. Neither
I do agree that I am tired of the media obsession with them both.

9. Brett, and it's not even close.
Mostly because I'm so sick of the way the NFL does business, but also because of the way Brett has manipulated the media throughout the process.
