Nothing's ever his fault, Andrew says. The receiver slipped, Brett's hand was wet, the moon was out of alignment, you name it. You know, I've been thinking about this. Forget the TV people. They're hopeless, but let's dwell on the matter of why it's all gone blooey for Favre. He can still wing it. He can run -- sort of. I mean he's not hobbling out there. Give him some receivers and another lineman or two, and here's the real snapper ... and a coach who won't back down when in Brett's almighty presence, and will really work on every aspect of his game, including the decision making and I think we might see a remarkable comeback. But I feel the same way as I did during the last days of Woody Hayes. As long as the negatives keep getting reinforced, he's receiving no favors. You don't get better when everyone keeps making excuses for you."
