No, but there are tons of (other) good examples.
Personally, I liked Lance's comeback; but really, that should be it. He was on the podium at the TdF conclusion. Yes, he should start a new team - maybe ride as a domestique if he can't "just" manage a team. But his days as a GC man are pretty much finished. He's as old as Favre, btw.
And Favre - my gosh, does he think any of these young safetys and linebackers remember or care who he is?
I could ride beside Eddy Merckx and not know who he is or that he is the greatest cyclist ever, and because of that, might not show him the required road respect. The same could go for a kid just out of you-name-it-university with an 8-figure contract who's programmed to split Q-backs in half. He won't care who Brett Favre is.
If I were Brett, I'd seriously fear for my life this season.
