Favre retiring may have crushed the Vikings season.
Many argue that Lebron was selfish in his decision to milk his signing with Miami on ESPN and how it hurt loyal fans.
Shouldn't the same be said for Favre who waited until right before preseason to make his announcement? leaving the Vikings with literally no time to find an adaquete replacement.

Entirely the Vikings fault. If management is inept enough not to have a contingency plan and sit around waiting for someone to make a decision, then they deserve what they get. Any big $$$ business won't put all its eggs in one basket, that's just asking for trouble. Plan for the future, don't let the future plan for you.
The whole problem with these scenarios isn't so much the individual as it is the media promoting it like there's no tomorrow.
So Brett Favre retired and unretired. Whoopee dooo, like he's the first and last person to ever do that. Funny how last year while the Vikings waited until the last possible second for Brett to decide, they had a backup plan. Now this year they don't and it's Favre's fault? Too bad Vikings - get your front office in order and start making smart decisions for the future instead of waiting around for someone to decide if they're going to play or not. You made your bed, now lay in it.
