Where's the Dignity?

Although Brett Favre is recognized as a legend, I find it hard to respect this guy. For at least the last 3 or 4 seasons he has faked his retirement in order to gain personal benefit. Now it's beginning to be clear to me why the Packers let him go. He held them hostage so he could decide if he wanted to play or not so they traded him. His stint with the New York Jets seemed as if it was a success until Favre plummeted the last half of the season, throwing 22 interceptions total. His "retirement" at season's end was no surprise since the Jets didn't make the postseason. Now there are rumors surfacing that Favre has met with the Minnesota Vikings about joining the team. What happened to loyalty? This basically says that Favre doesn't wanna play for the Jets and that he wants to stick it to the Packers twice a year because they are division rivals of the Vikings. Show some dignity Favre. I know he may be angry about what happened with Green Bay but is it to the point where he can't leave the game until he gets revenge? It may be humbling for him if he joins the Vikings and loses both meetings with the Packers.
