Is it me or is the writer just looking for a reason to blast Warner?

Warner went on "Dancing With the Stars" after he retired.

Favre went on the Jets after he retired. Favre hen went on the Vikings after he retired...twice. I'll respect the guy who had a little culture and tried out dancing over the guy who kept retiring and unretiring while also screwing a few teams in the process.

yeah that seemed like a cheap shot at Warner, who cares if he went on Dancing with the Stars, so did Emmitt Smith and Jerry Rice and we know both of those guys will only be remembered for that ::facepalm::

Yeah. Not to mention Chad Ochocinco...and that was during his playing days.

seems like a cheap shot, but Warner really shouldn't be talking too much about Favre. It's not a good idea - IMO. Funny - I have a Favre/Warner dual auto from Stadium Club in my PC.

That's a Rivalry 1/1 Auto for eBay! :lol: List it now with a link to the article!

Kudos to Warner for saying what he thinks and the majority of America thinks IMO. Everyone is so PC these days that it is laughable.

garbage article.

At least the writer didn't go after Kurt for being religious.

Warner's career wasn't terribly different from Farve. Seems like the wrong guy to talk smack. Warner wins a Superbowl then gets banged up. He then has a stint with the other New York team, heads back west, is still banged up, then just misses the Superbowl. Pretty much the same order as Favre except Favre got banged up after departing his first team. Favre did stick around a year too long but lack of production and picks in his final year were strongly correlated with crappy receivers, lack of blind side protection, and crap coach. Warner may very well suffered the same fate had he returned another year.

That 'sports reporter' is garbage. The only article he has ever published I thought was insightful was...wait, he hasn't.

A player having a slope at the end of his career can (and usually will) happen to anyone. That's not what Warner was saying. Warner knew when to hang it up, and did it in the classic classy way of announcing retirement and sticking to it. Heck, Warner did it with enough time that the Cardinals weren't left shellshocked days before the first preseason game. It's about how Favre handled the final years, not how he played them.

I understand the retirement wishy-wash but Warner did comment on Favre switching teams.

"I think he did [tarnish his legacy]. Not only this season, but the last few seasons, going back and forth [on retirement] and bouncing to a few different teams."
