Favre says hits in NFC title game were just football

Former QB Brett Favre left the 2009 NFC Championship Game against the Saints with an injured ankle, but he later returned to the action. At the time, Favre said it was part of the game, and he reiterated that on Friday to SI.com after the NFL released information that the Saints had a bounty program that targeted players, including Favre. "I'm not pissed," Favre said. "It's football. I don't think anything less of those guys.''
