Don't forget Joey Harrington in that list of Tedford thoroughbreds. As to your second major point; that is VERY true. Not only would Favre not have been able to get away with all these retirement/i'm back hyjinx, he would not have been able to get away with the alcoholism AND addiction to pain killers. He also would not have been able to get away with all the interceptions, they would have said "naturally his brain is too small to comprehend the complexities of reading NFL defenses."
