Cheap shot. Favre knows what a legal block is. He has played football for a long time. I don't know who to fault more, the coach who probably told him to go low... or Favre who actually did it.

I'm beginning to dislike Favre for a variety of reasons. This isn't helping his case.

I don't think it was intentionally dirty. I think it was just awkward on Favre's part and he didn't really know what to do, and he sort of fell toward Wilson and then tried to slow down or back up.

I don't know why Childress is even lining him up at wide receiver in a preseason game. I understand they want to get Harvin involved in some wildcat formations. But I thought the whole reason you got Favre (old, injured Favre) because you wanted a legit QB who could lead your team and not have to resort to offensive gimmicks.

My thoughts exactly. Why call a play and have your injure prone old Quarterback throw a block in preseason. Which is why I have suspicions that he was told to go low.

There's a reason there's a rule that the crackback block must be above the waist, it's for player safety. The player being blocked is completely defenseless and to smack him high is one thing, going low has a high probability of injury. I only wish Favre would've blown out his shoulder on the play, would've served him right for such a blockheaded play.

??? That block was not at all legal and he was rightfully called for a penalty.

I think Favre was just ticked to be in a Wildcat formation and took the opportunity to vent.

Farve isn't even looking at him when the block is delivered.

I think this is being blown out of proportion just like everything with Favre.

Wow, that was really gnarly. Ick. That thing snapped like a twig.

I wonder if this had been Tom Brady throwing the block, if the refs would have called the penalty on the guy being blocked.

They would have thrown a flag on the defender for making illegal contact with Brady.
