Obviously Furman Reads the 4WFS

Furman Bisher gets the same idea I had last year. I'd wager he had to dust off the 4 years of dust on it since he wrote it though. The article basically talks about how Brett "Fov" drank, then pissed away his opportunity with the Falcons. It's amazing how circumstances can define a person. The NFL should send the Falcons a gift basket for getting rid of him before the ATL broke Brett's ass-slapping spirit. I wonder where the Vickster would be if he latched on with a competent franchise?

Sure, he could booze, but could he make it to the federal pen?

The real reasons to read Furman's column are the enlightening comments afterward. Furman really draws the vitriol out for some reason. I don't understand it; frankly I'm impressed at how lucid he is. Good for him. But, I just wanted to point out one comment in particular. I should make this a running documentary on 4WFS just to preserve the utter stupidity of AJC.com readers for posterity. [As I'm writing this, I discovered that the ajc.com took down what was the be the featured quote. Thank God they do this now. I was going to cut and paste a comment by "Bob" who basically said "yepper, Buckhead used to be great but blacks ruined and the Mexicans are doing it to Sandy Springs now." Um, ok. I bet Bob loves the Hawks commentary on this blog. The thread also devolved into anti-Bob and pro-Bob camps. Pro-Bobbers expanded on his logic for even broader social commentary and argued against the northern expansion of MARTA. Way to keep it on topic, Bobby. How embarrassing. For your family.]

Here's a backup quote:

Typical Bisher! The greatest QB of all time retires and all he can do is liken him to some former QBs that couldn’t hold Favre’s jock and then spotlight the low points of the most wonderful career ever. Can Bisher ever say anything good about anyone without dwelling on the negative. I hope that when Furman retires all anyone writes about is his reprehensible behavior when he maligned, libeled and slandered Bear Bryant and Wally Butts back in the 1960s. Is it not time we washed our hands of this sorry charlatan!"

Again, I don't get the Bisher hate. And LAS must have the longest memory ever.
