Seriously. A couple of years ago, I said without a doubt that he is my favorite non-Redskin NFL player of all time. Now? No way.

He's got a personal vendetta against Packers GM Ted Thompson, and he's too stubborn and arrogant to just go away quietly. He could have retired and rode off into the sunset as the most beloved and decorated player in Packers history. What a dummy.
