The Favre Hall of Fame Hullabaloo

I don't think I'm being biased or a homer when I say Brett Favre is a sure fire first ballot Hall of Famer.

However, Dr. Z of Sports Illustrated has created a national stir this past week by saying that he wasn't so sure, "Is Brett Favre a shoo-in? How about if he throws another 29 interceptions this season? And the whispers start — maybe he never was that good to begin with. You think this is impossible? You don't know how quickly a great old star can fall from grace."

Green Bay Press-Gazette columnist Chris Havel weighed in saying in today's issue, "Sports Illustrated's Paul Zimmerman, aka Dr. Z, has been opining about the National Football League for the once-great magazine since 1979. To say Zimmerman has lost something is being polite. To say SI's credibility took a hit with Dr. Z's most recent rambling is being honest."
