Can We Lay Off Bret?

It's fashionable to make derogatory comments now about Bret Favre, I've noticed.  Even announcers calling games do it and it's v. annoying.  
Yes, he retired and came back.  Again.  Yes, he probably should have sat down the last few games as a Jet.  Yes, and yes and yes again.  You are right, he was wrong.
Do I have to hear about it all the time?  Can announcers just call the game?  Holy crap.  Let's whisper about Michael Vick and barely mention the imminent salary cap collapse so we can gang up on the current solution to the Viking's woes?
Announcers:  Just announce and leave your little snide comments about any player off the record.
Sports Pundits:  Let's spread a little derision around, okay?  Plus, admit you were relieved he was back.
Let's just let the game be played.  Ultimately, that will tell us how we should judge Bret.
