Brett Favre’s image has taken enough of a hit lately that his wife has come to his defense in her family blog.

‘This latest round of media scrutiny has been harder, more disheartening and seemingly unending,’ Deanna Favre wrote. ‘Brett does not, in any way, hold a vendetta against his former team. But that has not stopped some from scrutinizing his every move and blaming him for so many things that simply are not true.

‘Some incidents, like the locker room pranks, appear funny [but they are still untrue]. Others, like the questionable phone calls to other teams are hurtful, distasteful, and ... still untrue as they have been reported.

‘Because of this, lately, my heart has been so heavy. It is very hard to watch the daily toll this has taken on Brett.’

Favre threw three interceptions in the New York Jets’ 28-24 victory over Kansas City on Sunday. Duly scrutinized, none of them could be written off as untrue.
