i know better not to allow things to
affect my mood steal my joy
i know better but i'm still a little
tense
but here's the good news i'm tense
yet i'm grateful i'm gonna tell you why
i'm tense over
brett favre i don't know if you had the
opportunity when he was playing
uh to interview brett favre i did
on several occasions i enjoyed
interviewing brett favre i enjoyed uh
talking with him i'm not sure if i ever
had a one-on-one but it was probably
like
three on one now i've been in small
settings with brett favre
found him engaging charming uh all the
things that
uh peter king did and chris mortensen
and ed werder and all the other
reporters
that he had eating out of the palm of
his hand when he played the nfl
i'm not hating because i understand
where they were coming from i i
understand
he really could be a charming guy
but his comments about derek chovin
remind me of two things one
some people just don't get it some
people will never get it
because of i don't know if it's the
uniform
of police officers or
if it's the uniformity of thought
that they have had and they've been
taught growing up
and they just cannot get out of that
slot they cannot get out of that
mold to think that sometimes
people who are in public office
sometimes people who have taken
an oath people who are supposed to be
public servants
have never even considered servitude
servant leadership that has never been
their motivation
for getting into office so if you take a
certain kind of personality
you give them a badge a uniform and a
gun you have yourself
a dangerous often murderous cocktail
that's one thing here's the other thing
mike now that that's that's where i'm
that's where i am with brett favre
and this is where i can get to my joy
and it was part of the reason i was so
nervous before the derek chovin trial
began because i kept thinking
about juries
and i kept thinking about jurors
a singular juror all it took was
one brett favre to make this thing go
left
and that's that's why i mean brett favre
really crystallized it for me
when he started talking i was thinking
that's it right there
that's what i'm nervous about and thank
god
thank god we didn't have that because we
know
brett favre is not rare
that is not his his comment is not an
aberrational comment he's not some
outlier he was just stupid enough
to say it out loud to invite criticism
but there are a lot of people who think
like that
so i'm glad
that we were able to get through this
trial without
a brett favre type throwing off
everything all the the incremental
progress that we had
uh coming from the derek chauvin trial
where he was guilty on all three counts
i'm not crazy i'm gonna talk i'll say it
to you and i'll say this i'll toss it to
you
i'm not crazy enough to think that
because
we got what we were looking for
in the chauvin trial that all is well in
the united states of america but all was
well
a couple of days ago in that courtroom
because there was not a brett favre of
type throwing things off yeah
let me tell you how much i used to love
me some brett favre
um because you gotta remember um
when i played high school football uh
and and played as a generous term
as we've discussed i'm not going to when
i was on the team
i'm not going there um i was a
quarterback
uh and my jersey number was four
because of brett favre who obviously
famously went to college at nearby
southern miss
not too far from my hometown of new
orleans
i love brett favre growing up i award
number four
um i had several brett favre football
cards
i loved him and there's something about
mary
um one of my favorite bars of
all time in the history of hip-hop is
andre 3000
from the art of storytelling part four
started off starving
now they got me out here brett favre and
try to see if i still got it i quote
that all the time
matter of fact michael at one point
early on in my uh
talking head career days i remember this
i remember this you know what i'm about
to say
i made the case that brett favre was the
goat
yeah i was because i i said if you i
said if you if you had a if you had
boxes
whether it's like ability or
uh availability because obviously he was
in the midst of that iron man streak so
ability
availability longevity uh productivity
you know awards he had the super bowl
went to two one
one um i mentioned productivity
statistics
at that point i think he had every major
passing record mvp
three straight mvps three straight 95 96
and 97.
three straight mvps all right this was
before the days of peyton manning when
you know yeah they went in five but you
know this is three three mvps was sacred
that was reserved for jim brown back in
those days so
three mvps uh the gunslinger all the all
the different
accolades and attributes attributed to
him i was like he checks every box
to me he's the greatest of all time he
definitely is on everybody's mouth
rushmore he's the greatest of all time
that's how in love with brett favre i
was
and they say michael is a good thing he
never meets your heroes and i ain't
saying he a hero
uh he's not a hero of mine but i never
met him
and thank goodness i never did because i
don't like him now i just don't like him
and worse than not liking him i don't
like hearing him speak and the reason i
like hearing him speak is because he's a
damn hypocrite
and that doesn't he's not alone he's not
alone in that there's a lot of
hypocrites
uh with his political persuasion
but hey brett favre don't say stick to
sports
and then weigh in on derek chavin or
worse
not even not worse weighing on derrick
shopping with an ignorant take
or endorse donald publicly endorse
donald trump
but stick to sports i don't i don't like
my food touching i don't like i don't
like politics in my sports
like he's every every one of his
comments
is dripping with privilege first of all
he's a bumbling idiot
has been for a long time the next smart
thing he says will be the first
at least in my recollection and
i just don't like it it's like yo man if
you want to play in this space
play in this space consistently but he
lost he's lost me
when several times he said you know
stick to sports or
i i'm not for peaceful protest during
the national anthem but hey
donald trump got my endorsement
but hey i don't think derrick shalvin
intentionally
meant to kill what does that even mean
nine minutes and 30 seconds i mean
30 seconds i mean he lost track he lost
track of time michael that's what it
means
he lost right he didn't intend to do it
so i feel you man and it's just like
you you said off the top did you want to
get back up on in on far because i was
going i was going to
merge a couple of stories together i
don't know
because i just don't understand no i
don't know you can go ahead merge it
what i'm going to say this my last thing
i want to say on him is
whether he intended to do it or not is
beside the point
so if he didn't intend to do that what
do you think he was trying to do just
torture hey listen
i didn't want to kill him i just wanted
to scare him i just wanted him to suffer
i wanted to teach him a lesson whatever
it is it was wrong it was cruel
that does brett favre know the dialogue
the dialogue between derek chovin and
and
and george floyd where he says when he
says to floyd
this is why this let me just back up
back up for a second i'm glad nobody
but most people are not making the cases
this was a heat of the moment
error uh okay
this was cruelty
let me take it a step further this was
wickedness
derrick chauvin is wicked
he's got wickedness in his heart
he sat there he asked a man pleading for
his life
handcuffed not resisting derek chovan
asked that man
hey man what what do you want
sarcastically obviously hey
what do you want he said i can't breathe
derek sheldon responded takes a lot of
oxygen to say that
that is a this is not about policing and
listen
i'm not tired and let me just say this
let me say this i don't care
i don't care who comes out come no add
me on this at me
some people say don't hit me no at me
i'm tired
of dancing around and stroking
the egos of insecure people
who have their jobs in policing if you
are a police officer and you're so
insecure that when we're talking about
derek shoving
we think you think we're talking about
you i can't help you
i can't help you i'm tired of that i'm
not playing
i'm tired of stroking the egos
of insecure people when we're talking
about
so-called police officers like derek
shovin
and you think we're talking about you
either we are talking about you
and you got to confront it or ain't got
no concern of yours
and you just leave that alone and say
i'm thank god i'm not like that
because this is not a this is not a
policing issue
this is somebody who was in a job
for 19 years had no business being in
the job
was not his first rodeo
with with doing something that was
outside of the badge that was outside of
uh of a person with integrity and ethics
who tortured a man in the street and
wanted to get away with it
and had his defense attorney try to
put it off on the victim you made me do
it
so anybody defending that uh you got it
you got to question yourself
but derek chauvin is a wicked individual
and the fact that brett favre says that
he didn't mean to kill him
well you got to explain to me brett what
you thought he meant to do
if he didn't if he wasn't trying to kill
him what in the name of good policing
was he trying to do
all right that's it i'm sorry i just had
to put that in there
so just to be clear um
it's brett favre's hypocrisy that
bothers me not
uh not his take
because as you said there's not a you
know he's not alone and he's entitled to
his opinion
uh for me it just bothers me that
he wants to pick and choose when it's
appropriate
for athletes uh who are still citizens
to wade into so-called political
conversations i say so paul so-called
political conversation it's not a
political conversation this is a
morality conversation
this is a human conversation um
this is about right and wrong not left
