CFL legend gets respect south of the border

Montreal Alouette's QB Anthony Calvillo passed the All-Time Football passing yards record this weekend, and the only QB in the top 5 who didn't take part in any way of the event was Brett Favre.  What an asshole.

Maybe Favre feels inadequate because he retired short of Damon Allen's mark, and no hope of beating Calvillo, who can still play for another year or two.  Maybe Favre feels superior because no one will ever beat his interceptions record (though he's only second there too, coming short to the CFL's Ron Lancaster -- who played in the days when qb's were purposely not awesomely careful with the ball, treating interceptions as only somewhat shorter punts.)

Whatever the reason, he's the odd one out.  I think the passing record will remain in the CFL for some time, but records are still made to be broken.
