    Favre was a bad boy telling fat-ass Andy Reid stories on the NFLN today. Pretty hilarious.

    Did anyone else see that Jerry Rice is now the second hall of famer to come to believe in the healing properties of copper along with Brett?

    I must have seen that commercial four times yesterday.


    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    Gruden's QB Camp ... Brett Favre

    Comment woodbuck27:

    Brett Favre:

    You cannot bring anymore than that !


    This VIDEO is enormous and on 'what it takes to be GREAT'.

    I can clearly and honestly write that I can totally relate to Brett Favre. It's his attitude and confidence I respect / LOVE. He was 'a one of a kind knock off', and 'the mold is broken' kinda Pro athlete.

    As Packer fans we were blessed to see this Man compete.

    Brett Favre had it (really had it) ! A lot of that came from the mentorship he received as a gift from his Father Irving Favre.

    I've learned this in my lifetime and being a competitor. Believe this and the fact I'm a serious competitor. I don't compete to be the loser.

    You cannot compete effectively unless you certainly know you have what it takes to be the BEST. I looked back on 'any time I excelled' competing, and the end result was a simple:

    " OK ! No big deal Edwin...you knew you were going to win."

    Never ever confuse confidence with arrogance. Confidence WINS and arrogance is of low esteem and wanting too much to win and seldom getting there.

    Confidence goes hand in hand with experience and building on more of that to wisdom. I'm a very confident MAN.

    That's still in me today. My competitiveness and sports is done. I still compete and do so a lot.

    I've played Poker since I was 10 Years of age.Most days I prove it playing Poker. I play against people all over the World; and I know I'm the BEST Texas Holdem Player. I'm TRUTHFULLY 'The BEST'. It just is.

    In any Poker Session I'll be in my mind's eye, 'the TOP Man on that Table'; and >95 % of the time I'm going to prove that to myself. It's not beating those people. Rather, it's all about proving something to me.

    Brett Favre was exactly like that.

    Brett Favre talks concussions on 'Today': 'I've had hundreds'

    http://www.espn.com/blog/nfcnorth/po...e-had-hundreds

    Brett Favre would rather his grandsons not play football, believes he may have short-term memory loss, fears what might happen to him as he ages and believes he sustained "hundreds, maybe thousands" of concussions in his 20-year NFL career.

    The NFL record-holder for most consecutive starts (297) even suggested he might have ended his ironman streak had he thought more seriously about concussions when he played.

    The former Green Bay Packers quarterback touched on all those subjects Thursday during an interview on NBC’s "Today" show.


    Brett Favre didn't begin to think about the long-term effects of concussions until his career was nearly over. Albert Dickson/Sporting News
    Here’s an edited transcript of that interview:

    Question: How many concussions did you have?

    Favre: “That I know of, three or four maybe. But as we’re learning about concussions, there’s a term that is often used in football -- and maybe in other sports -- that I got 'dinged.' As Dr. [Bennet] Omalu, who was portrayed by Will Smith in the movie 'Concussion' has said, 'Dinged is a concussion.' When you have ringing of the ears, seeing stars, that’s a concussion. And if that is a concussion, I’ve had hundreds, maybe thousands, throughout my career, which is frightening.”

    Q: You played hurt, but did you realize how dangerous it was?

    Favre: “Absolutely not. Absolutely not. I played 20 years. Year 18, 19, 20 is when the NFL implemented the concussion protocol testing. Having played 17 years up to that point, my baseline test, which they did maybe in Year 18, which gives you where you are at this point in your career, there had been enormous amount of injuries that had taken place in those 17, 18 years. My test was skewed somewhat. So really, at that point in my career, and at that point in the NFL’s early stages, there was nothing prior to that. You saw older players, retired players, and they would walk with a limp. [You thought], ‘That’s what I’m going to look like someday, that’s the price that you pay.’ Now, I think the focus is on your mental health. You’re going to have knee, hip, shoulder type of issues -- that’s just part of it. But head injuries and concussions were never considered a problem for long term until now.”
    The game will not last much longer in current form...

    have there been any numbers about a drop in participation at the younger levels yet?

    thats where the game will die imo. when high school kids decide it isn't worth ruining their lives for a year or two of glory and fame

    pro players make huge $$$$ to destroy their brains and bodies. college, high school, junior high and peewee players do not

    My understanding is that it's about a 25% drop from 10 yrs ago in the pre-high school levels.

    College is not cheap, and so long as there are still football scholarships out there, kids will continue to play the game.

    I blame capitalism.

    You sound as if you have some experience in that realm, Craig.

    The game has never been safer, the fact is though it will never be a safe game. Brett is also part of a group that is trying to invent procedures or medication to help reduce the symptoms of concussion and CTE. There is a financial aspect to why he is speaking out about head injuries and football.

    The Hall of Fame quarterback has put his money and his name behind Prevacus, a company that’s testing a neurosteroid intended to be administered nasally immediately after a brain impact, to counter the effects of concussion at the cellular level
    Pharma is seen as the next frontier in concussion treatment. The Favre-backed drug has shown promise in animal testing, but clinical trials on human patients have yet to be conducted
    Favre has recruited Kurt Warner and other NFL greats to Prevacus’s advisory board. Other NFL figures such as Richard Sherman are also involved in companies seeking a drug to treat concussions

    He falsified his research, so that RDU-90 could be approved and Devlin McGregor could give you Provasic!
