Open Letters to Brett Favre
Open letters to Brett Favre are popping up all over the internet, including some from Kansas City. Eric Barton from The Pitch Blogs has written down his thoughts to Brett. He ask Brett Favre to think back to a game that took place on November 8, 1993.
- You were just a year into the starting gig in Green Bay, and people were still wondering if the kid from Southern Miss who could never seem to throw off his front foot could really lead a team. You were in Kansas City, and on the opposing sideline was none other than Joe Montana.
Eric then goes on to mention that even though Montana didn’t play in that game his presence was felt everywhere in Kansas City.
- You had to notice the Montana jerseys in the crowd. Remember in 1994, when the 49ers came to Arrowhead with Steve Young at the helm? A sign in the crowd said it all: “This is Montana Country, Where the Young do not Survive.” Forget barbecue or fountains, Kansas City was Joe’s town.
And now, as you’re debating a comeback, isn’t that what you want? A town to idolize you?
The article then goes on to say a few other interesting things:
- You’ve also got to be worried about coming to a team with a domineering coach or general manager. Well, not here. Coach Herm Edwards and team President Carl Peterson will roll over for you like a lhasa apsos puppy looking for a belly rub.

- you’re surely looking for a team that will bring you one more shot at glory. Well, you won’t find that here, not with the lack of talent on this roster. But like Joe Montana before you, what you’ll find is a team that will idolize you, that will worship the odd collections of consonants that are your last name.
If that is trying to convince Favre to come to KC, I’m not sure that it will work. I have always thought of Favre as the kind of guy who just loves to play the game and I’m not convinced that he would come here just because the team will worship him (or is this just me being naive?). But… I definitely agree on one thing from the above quote, which is the “odd collections of consonants that are your last name”. I mean seriously we all say FAR-VE, so how is it spelled FaVre? Eh, whatever..
