Jerry Glanville Defends His Decision On Trading Brett Favre In 1992

During a recent interview with Thom Abraham of WNSR in Nashville, former Atlanta Falcons coach Jerry Glanville defended his decision to trade Brett Favre in blunt terms. "I had to get him out of Atlanta. I could not sober him up," Glanville said. "I sent him to a city where at 9:00 at night the only thing that's open is Chili Joes. You can get it two ways, with or without onions. And that's what made Brett Favre make a comeback was going to a town that closed down. If I would have traded him to New York, nobody to this day would have known who Brett Favre ever was."

Bullshit or not, the NFL is a duller place without guys like Glanville.
