The Excuses Begin for Favre
After being fined for a seemingly dirty shot when he threw a crack-back block on Houston Texan safety Eugene Wilson.
“I will be 40 years old in October and (was) weed-eating 13 days ago,” Favre said. “I wasn’t thinking about throwing blocks.”
Having only been practicing for 14 days since entering out of retirement from the NFL to join the Minnesota Vikings. Perhaps more importantly Eugene was just looking for some sort of apology from Favre.
Wilson’s agent, James Sims, commented on his thoughts after having went out to meet with Favre after their loss.
“Eugene went back out on the field after the game hoping Favre would come up to him and apologize and express some concern and that didn’t happen,” Sims said. “Eugene then was hoping Favre would send him an apology through some sort of correspondence, but that hasn’t happened, either. Eugene is still hopeful Favre will apologize to him.”
After sustaining an injury to his knee as a result of the block thrown by Favre, Wilson had little to say. Perhaps an unjust fine, Brett Favre will have to pay just $10,000 for his illegal hit where other players have very well been awarded a one game suspension.
“What was up with that?” Wilson said after the game, “Seriously, what was up with that?”
Favre may have not been able to meet with Wilson proceeding the game however, Favre did manage to apologized by saying hurting Wilson was not his intent.
“Believe me, I hope he is okay, I hope it didn’t look as bad on film as it may have seemed. But my intentions were, believe me, not to hurt any one…Including myself.”
For now, as Favre sits out during the final Minnesota Vikings preseason game, he will have time to regain his lost knowledge of blocking and the basics of playing football.
In reflect I would assume that Favre will come to grips with his initial defensive reaction.
