When Favre retired for the first time in 2008, Sports Illustrated and ESPN devoted the prime cuts of their online and televised resources to praise the man and his Hall of Fame career.
Since then, Favre has surely bolstered his statistics, adding and padding records along the way. But his reputation has suffered, as has his media treatment.
Today, SI.com has put together a pictorial of Favre's Top Ten Worst Moments. It's pretty ugly browsing for a Packer fan, inasmuch as 8 of the 10 pictures are familiar green-and-gold memories. The one bright spot is that, in his second-worst moment (last Sunday), he's wearing the hated purple.
Here's the link:

Perhaps when he really, finally retires for good, they'll return to remembering his best moments. It will be hard to choose just ten. But for now -- especially in the wake of what Viking fans will come to remember as "the interception" -- the scrapbook recalls his failures.
