I think Favre is going to suffer bc he doesn't have the elite WR corp that he had in GB his last season here.

Think again GB; Berrian avgd about 20 yrds a reception, harvin is a flat out stud, and the TE rivals keith jackson (my frat brother)....and im assuming lord will be using chester quite a bit in the short passing game while "managing" the offense

1. Nobody uses the term elite around berrian, regardless of ypc. One season of 20 ypc and less than 50 receptions doesn't make you elite.
2. Harvin. You dont' call a rookie a flat out stud, until they have proven it. If harvin is a flat out stud, then Jennings is an out of this world HOF.
3. Listen, you arent' in college anymore, and nobody cares about who your frat brother was. Not to mention that unless you actually were in the same chapter it sounds ridiculous. If KJ doesn't recognize you on the street, stop talking as if you know him or that your fraternal bond is strong.

Please let us know about your "brother" Vince when he is mailing it in again, when shaq drops a few, or they aren't cheating on their wives like McNair or Justice.

Lastly, q-dogs suck.

4. Shiancoe rivals KJ. Statements like that show why you couldn't be an alpha phi alpha. Ty thinks you may have struggled to make that 2.5 gpa necessary for membership.

lol...i like the knowledge....u forgot to mention jordan whoring around chi-town, thus divorce

now, if u dont leave me alone i will LeGarrette Blount you chump : :lol:

Pretty much old news by now and I am not sure if it was posted elseware so I will post it here.

Favre was fined $10000 for his Crack Back block on Eugene Wilson

Brandon Underwood was fined $5000 for his helmet to helmet hit on a defenseless player.

I dont want to get into personal issues about either of these players. I am only posting this about what players in general must think about this. What the hell man! I am not getting paid for these frinkin games and you want to fine me how much? WTF man! :shock:

Over at PurplePride.org (yal should check it out since I dont know how to post link) one poster says that Favre went to a Lil Wayne concert with AD, Chester Taylor, and Mckinney. Hard to believe! But if he's reversing the trend of the so-called alienation of the yutes, it will bode well for their chemistry

Im so excited for this season that I keep telling cats at my gym "10 more days, 7 more days, it's almost time...."

So many compelling stories

I think it was a Bruce Wayne concert. Pretty lame.

I think it would be hugely entertaining to go to an Adam West concert.

Favre says that he WILL NOT jeopardize minny's success by trying to contiune his consecutive starts streak if he's hobbled and that he may not be able to play in all 16 reg season games. He says that he will "absolutely" sit out a game if he's not healthy enough to suit up...no I in team....U go boy...

63% of pollsters feel that he will NOT start every game this year...

Very interesting when you consider his legacy of toughing it out regardless

I wonder if he would sit out game at lambeau...

Considering that half the reason he came back is so that he could stick it to the Packers.....no.

Ballhawk, did he have anything else interesting to say when he told you that was half the reason?

Fixed...

I always wanted to do that! :lol:

Favre says that his current team is "as talented" as the '96 packer squad?!

No surprise; he said pretty much said the same thing last year in NY...

Of course that speaks to parity and as we pack fans know it takes more than talent; last years GB team returned nearly ALL the starters from the nfccg squad...

He said the very same thing the last few years in GB. I don't put too much stock in that statement any more.

In this case, he could be right. They don't have Reggie White, and they certainly don't have 1996 Brett Favre, but their defense is solid and Peterson is a force on his own.

If you read all of what was ACTUALLY said it sounded like a mutual decision to continue to play him. The player is always going to want to play and thus put a positive spin on his condition so it's up to the coach to sit somebody's ass down if he's hurt. That's kind of universal, wouldn't you say?

"I felt like I was doing the team more harm because I was missing on some throws."

What is sounds to me is that if this guy had an ounce of humility, and if he had an ounce of knowledge of what it means to be a good teammate (he lost it somewhere between 98 and now) he should have told Mangini not to play him.


And sidenote, why is he bringing up all these excuses? Almost as if he is regretting his return.....shoulder, cracked rib, now this...

I did read the whole thing Rastak, and I disagree with you. The whole I-was-real-receptive-to-sitting-but, whether followed by "we decided" or "I decided" or "he decided" is a clear attempt - to me - to suggest that really, it wasn't on him.

And in a way he's right. It's not supposed to be up to him to decide. But it wasn't supposed to be up to Favre to decide when he ran back in one game during Shermy's tenure after getting knocked out practically. He threw a TD and we all lauded him, but he made the decision. If I recall correctly, Sherman didn't even know Favre had gone back out til he saw him on the field. So Favare has, in the past, seemed willing to make the decision himself.

In addition, the standard line - the one Mangini took - is to not single anyone out particularly, to not push anything off on anyone. Favre's wilingness to explain his side, as he has done so, so many times before, smacks to me of someone who wants to make it known that, well, things really aren't his fault. His lil' ol' me act is wearing thin for me.
