OFFICIAL BRETT THE LIVING LEGEND THREAD

[Pugger]

Seriously, I'm with you. Those were some hard years but who can forget the Monday Night Shootout with the Champion Redskins.

I was there! Big wins were few and far between back then so it was a real treat to win that one!

That's rad! I stayed up late to watch the game and kept reading about it as I delivered the WSJ the next morning.

Whut? You read the paper in the dark, while you were delivering it? I used to deliver the Milwaukee Urinal, and even as an afternoon paper, I could only make out the headlines. Still, it could be because I was only reading at a first grade level, but come to think of it, that's the level the Urinal wrote at. Ahh, never mind...

Street lamps, my man, street lamps.

The play call ... " 72 X Shallow Cross "

" An enlarged scoreboard reads, 17-14 Falcons, third and 1 at the 9-yard line, 15 seconds left. Defensive end Chuck Smith is helpless, turned over like a dying fish. Favre is airborne, diving across the goal line for the victory. " **

** His 1994 dive into the end zone at County Stadium — the final Packers game in Milwaukee.


" After 20 years of highs, lows, emotional skydives, Brett Favre's world has slowed down. Pro football's ironman has found peace, his way.

When that pilgrimage to Lambeau Field closes in, Favre knows it'll feel real. Next year, No. 4 will be retired. Closing this chapter — in a good way, he punctuates — "needed to be done."..."

GO PACK GO !

He returns.

Brett is back in GB today for an event at Bart Starr's Rawhide Ranch.

He'll speak briefly at the steakhouse and at Rawhide Ranch.

BLF has no plans to attend the Packer Falcon's game.

I suppose he doesn't want to take from the teams by being a distraction.

It would be a natural time to make an announcement of some kind of peace treaty, Packers, Falcon's, Bart Starr, etc, etc.

Bart is too ill to attend, but is supposedly recovering from his stroke.

[Fritz]

Bart Starr's Rawhide Ranch?

Sounds like a BDSM store.

Why does it have to be a big deal for him to attend? Why can't he just go to the game without fanfare? Sure, the cameras would pan to him once or twice, but unless the networks went overboard, there would be no distraction...

The game is on ESPN with Michaels and Collinsworth. They'd be all over it all night long.

My thoughts exactly. He is 3 blocks from the stadium. Go to a box and watch the game. It doesn't have to be about you for once. Just go, don't tell the media and the world. Sure they will find out and show him on TV. But who cares if he doesn't fly in the same day and say he wants to suit up and play or something.

At this point it's going to be a spectacle no matter how they go about it. If they put on a big show of him being there, well, it's a big show. If he shows up quietly and sits in a box, the cameras will find him and spend half the game talking about him and dollars to donuts he ends up on the field at the end of the game. There's just no way to do this quietly and without it turning into a circus and someone asking him why he decided to finally come back. It's been too long and the reunion is going to be an event.

I think this was a good way to start his return. Quietly in and out of town, short appearance in front of essentially a hand picked crowd and some the Packers brass present (Mark Murphy was there).

[mraynrand]

Gruden better get his Favre tapes queued up just in case.

[woodbuck27]

I see Brett Favre more than ever it seems.

He's doing lots of commercials lately.

Mae saw him doing something for WALMART.

Plugging some sporting shoes for a Nike subsidiary, I believe.

[channtheman]

Favre is all over the product where a man can trim his own hair too. I've seen an extended ad for it at least 3-4 times in the last few weeks.

[woodbuck27]

Favre wouldn't come to the game tonight so as not to risk any scene.

Some people really are confused by this man but it sure seems to me he's got things right as it stands today.

[woodbuck27]

Where's Mad ?

Is Madtownpacker OK?

Mad there were 30 people here (after the game and) tonight for the Atlanta @ Green Bay game.

GO PACK GO !

[mraynrand]

Where's Mad ?

Is Madtownpacker OK?

[woodbuck27]

Anyone !??

I havn't seen a sign of Mad here for over three weeks.

Is he OK?
