    Pro Football HOF, dear. The Packer HOF is a whole different issue. Pro HOF certain things are triggered: ring of honor with a ceremony to reveal the name. Suck it up Packers and get him in there in a couple of years. (really, they should put him in the Packer HOF before that, even if he doesn't show).

    Chris Redman with an insane 1% of passes returned for pick 6's - that's not going to earn you your coaches favour!

    Can't entirely blame his though. He had a bad tackling offense
    35.7% of his INTs were returned for TDs, the averaqe is close to 10%, so 3x as many of his INTs were returned for TD. I wonder if that's on Redman?

    The great Brint will be on NFL live this AM (Oct 20).

    He will comment on all the angst one feels when returning "home" to play a ball game.

    I have no idea what Favre can really bring to that discussion. The ONLY thing the 2 situations have in common is he and Peyton returned to play against the team they cut their teeth with. Favre wanted revenge against TT and MM for having the audacity to chose to start Rodgers AFTER #4 retired. Peyton knew the team didn't want to pay an injured player his huge salary and left the team amicably.

    BLF allowed as how Peyton would be nervous for the game.

    Then he said that Tony Romo was a good player that took a lot of chances.

    Then he laughed and said he did, too.

    Is there anything left for him to do? For what it's worth, I think Favre was a player that most NFL fans enjoyed watching all the time. Packer fans only enjoyed watching him half the time.

    He said he has Aaron Rodgers as his Fantasy Football League QB this year. Interesting.

    That's certainly true in terms of how he handled things publicly. However, there's considerable debate about how he feels privately about Irsay's decision to let him go.

    http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap200...k-7-storylines

    Manning had ample opportunity to smooth over the narrative this week, to let Irsay off the hook for the awkward comments the Colts owner made to USA Today about why he let the quarterback go, comments that made Irsay sound, perhaps inadvertently, ungrateful for the one Super Bowl they won together.

    Manning did not do it. He was clipped in declining to address what Irsay had said. This, then, was about what Manning did not say and the way he did not say it.

    There is little doubt Manning's departure from Indianapolis was wrenching and that it still rankles. You don't say something like "I've learned that in life you need to be at peace with other people's decisions that affect you, that you have no control over," without revealing that the bromide has been put to the test in the past 18 months.

    Brandt: Trades that could work
    With the trade deadline fast approaching, Gil Brandt cooks up five hypothetical deals that would benefit all parties involved. READ
    But since joining the Broncos, Manning has assiduously avoided addressing his exit. Bill Polian, the man who drafted Manning and was fired by the Colts not long before Manning was released, believes it is far more difficult for the quarterback to play games against his brother, Eli, than to return to Lucas Oil Stadium and oppose his old team.

    Still, it was hard to watch Manning this week and not come away thinking he's angry at Irsay's remarks. And that the response Manning most wants to make will come in the final score, which he would undoubtedly prefer to be lopsided, to provide the resounding rejoinder to the notion that the Colts' decision to release him and move on with Luck was best for all parties.

    I think it was entertaning; Favre said he may be in shape but he's not remotedly in football shape and he has no interest in playing football anymore. Somehow the discussion moved to how he plays fantasy football.......and AROD was his QB....and a light flipped on and he noted he had about 20 minutes to update and get his starting lineup in
    LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?

    At least this time, I'd have a helluva lot less angst about Brint coming back.

    It'd be more like a sick curiosity.

    Man, I was pissed when he joined the Queens.

    Now, I think it's more adding to that goof's Huck Finn legend

    Fish will have Brady Quinn backing up Kellen Clemens, so in a way you can't blame him.

    It took a lot to convince Favre it was time to retire, but that last season in Minny did the trick.

    St Louis should be concentrating on tanking and accumulating high draft picks.

    I believe they are. They did call a 44 year old retired quarterback, didn't they?

    Hello Packerrats. I hope your all doing well.

    Brett Favre has retired from the NFL.

    Coming back wouldn't have been worth the pain.

    HE'S BACK!!!!!

    Welcome back Woody!
    But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

    Thank You ThunderDan.

    Mae and I spent 3 months at my country home near Hoyt, New Brunswick, Canada.

    The only exception for going online has been to post my picks in the Pro PIckem. I have alot of work to do towords being up to speed there. I'm back at my home (Greenfield Park, Quebec, Canada) located near Montreal, Quebec and online again so hoping to improve my results. Your doing well....keep up the good results. Esoxx is lining up as the first two time Champion. He's IMO the man to beat.

    Stay on him. LOL.
