OFFICIAL BRETT THE LIVING LEGEND THREAD

[MadScientist]

WTF....seriously a football player having pictures of bruises posted on the web? I keep losing more and more respect for this guy with each ridiculous "LOOK AT ME" moment.
Well what else was he supposed to do. The whole retire - unretire bit was wearing thin. The whole football world was going to ignore him until at least June. Something new had to be done to give him the attention he so richly deserves.

[pbmax]

What??? A football player played with a black & blue bruise? :shock: :shock: :shock:
Well, I don't know about that. I am not a doctor and do not play one the internet, but the only time I have seen a hamstring look like that was a tear.

And I have seen an ankle like that before and that was a ligament tear.

The thing we are missing is context. The only other injured appendage I know of that currently has pictures on the internet is Dwight Freeny's foot.

[MJZiggy]

I think I'm with Fritz here. I need to see photos of what other players look like after a game in which they take a solid pounding. Favre isn't the only player ever to get hit a lot in a game you know. I'm not a 6'2" football player, but if they were paying me $12 million, I'd probably put up with a few bruises from being hit by guys my size--even big bruises--without even posting them on the internet. Football players get hit like this all the time. Football players play with injuries worse than these all the time. I don't understand what the fuss is about.

[pbmax]

Here is Freeny's ankle, the one that purportedly may keep him out of the game. A DE is in a different position that an QB, so a direct comparison is probably impossible. Freeny has also be getting 24 hr per day treatment. The bigger question is what is wrong with man's pinkie toe?

That was my point exactly. The fact he has large black and blue marks means little of nothing. Could be something real serious...or not. I've seen goaltenders with black and blue bruising from armpit to wrist from taking shots on the inside of their arms. I've seen black and blue ankles from puck impacts, and saw one with a huge black and blue bruise on his hamstring from getting turned around and taking a slapshot to the back of his leg (he, as many, wore little to no real protection over his hamstring).

However, in an apparent attempt to bolster Favre's tough guy image, Bus Cook did little more than make him a target for jokes and sarcasm. Favre had an image 3 years ago that athletes (and their agents) drool over. It suffered a bit in the Packer situation and scrambling attempts to rebuild it seem to be doing more harm than good.

Yes. Context and a diagnosis. Maybe there will be more surreptitious visits to Dr. James Andrews and diagrams in the Minneapolis papers. :lol:

the bruises don't bother me as much as the ankle

about 7 or 8 years ago i landed on the side of my ankle after trying to block a shot in basketball. i came down on the side of another guys foot, rolled my ankle, and the little knob on the side of the ankle is what hit the floor and what i landed on.

that knob when from being a little bit smaller then a golf ball, to being the size of a baseball within an hour.

i couldn't put weight on it for over a week, none at all. i couldn't run on it for 4 or 5 months. and i couldn't walk or run pain free for over a half of a year. and i have a pretty high pain tolerance

his ankle is about the size of a softball judging by that picture.

a have to imagine its messed up pretty bad

[Cheesehead Craig]

The local news media here in Minneapolis won't show the pics or discuss them as the source isn't credible given it's just some guys blog. To play devil's advocate, there's nothing on those photos to prove they belong to Favre other than this blogger saying so.

I guess we can all just be thankful Favre didn't have a groin injury...at least most of us are thankful.

Well, there's something to be said for consistency, right?

Ok then, I will try:
1. I want a complement to Clay Mathews OR an instinctive DB in the 1st round of the draft. An offensive lineman in the 2nd.
2. I think James Campen should be replaced, as well as Slocum.
3. I don't think running back is all that big of a concern, outside of someone (later pick?) to take the place of Green, should he be at the end of the line.

I guess you are trying to be cute but I actually DID break my ankle. :( I couldn't but any weight on it for 6 weeks. Almost went crazy just sitting around. You can only do so many sukoku or jigsaw puzzles...

Pugger, in real life I can promise you I'd never make light of your pain.

Last night I was rolling through some old Dilbert panels and the Topper character came up. Topper is the guy at work who doesn't listen to your story--he just tops it with a story of his own.

I once told my dad, "It's not funny if you have to explain it." and he said, "In your case it's usually just not funny."

[pbmax]

But what if SC baits Woody, who posts a 23.000 word diatribe with random bolding about the inner workings of Brett's mind and character that causes SC to respond with more snark, earning him a condemnation from Bretsky. Who then gets hit with a broadside attack (no B, not that kind of broad) from Thunder Dan, who being relatively new does not understand that Bretsky tries very hard to be middle of the road even though he bleeds Favre colored blood?

Then 007 jumps to Bretsky's defense, however, the kindness of that message is lost when packerarcher launches a short but powerful and possibly hallucinogenic contention that Brett, like time, heals all wounds and is a competitor like no other. Ty then attacks packerarcher's sanity and sobriety to great affect but does so in an angry and condescending manner. This gets Gex's blood up and all that can be done is one message with the multiple clapping emoticon and another decrying that Ty should be allowed to publish such attacks while they are simply trying to appreciate the glory of Favre.

Meanwhile pbmax, who only comes in occasionally to fact check (:roll:), responds to Woody's first post in the series from 124 messages back, with a long list of factual complaints and links from 12 other NFL websites that he frequents while he should be working, all meant to point out that Woody can't possibly know what goes on in Brett's mind AND even if we give him that argument, Brett's job description is not Asst. GM. Woody responds with a "good issues for thought" message and a request for time, which causes Gunakor to offer that Woody should take the next 13 months off from PackerRats to study the issue. Woodbuck questions Gunakor's familiarity with the rules of decent society and leaves to study the issue for sometime.

Skin posts a picture of a woman getting bitten by a snake. SC compares this to Packer fans and Favre. Nutz posts a heartfelt plea that Favre has been wronged even if he is not perfect and can't we root for the guy who rescued the franchise from the pit of despair. But Skin and Nutz cannot agree on which strip bar to watch the game at because the obvious choice is frequented by a loon who has been Skin nothing but trouble and the evil eye since Favregate started and Skin does not want it to go down if Nutz doesn't have his back.

MOBB, after posting a thread about his man and brother Brandon Lloyd (BRANDON THE MAN!!) the chimes in with a thought about the shared humanity of all and asks if we cannot find common ground. Then he asks Ziggy to meet him to go bowling. Several posters ask MOBB to stay on topic (Favre not Lloyd) and please translate his last post into the Queen's English. Ziggy cannot go bowling, her son is asking her to explain the reason for Skin's picture. Outrage over the picture mounts, but Fritz thinks the girl in the photo might know Drew Barrymore. MrAynRand posts a picture of a Fat Lady singing with a five-day growth of beard, thereby putting an end to Fritz's dreams of Barrymore and responding to MOBBs plea for understanding by simultaneously calling Favre a crier, fat and a woman.

Red cannot believe anyone can worry about Favre while there are clearly problems on the line, in the defensive backfield and at punter. Lurker posts with the top 32 at each position including links and reminds us that Favre was the 3rd rated QB in the 1991 draft. bulldog reminds is that Favre is not a big game QB, SC posts INT reaction shots from Favre's last five teams and 007 reminds Scott that being a character is not the same as having a character.

Then the debate commences over who started being mean first. Is it worse to be a pot stirrer, a sh*t stirrer or an emoticon abuser? And everyone wonders how this thread has made it to 84,600 posts. :lol:

[Fritz]

Since it's the Favre thread I want to bring up something I don't think I've heard anyone comment upon in the discussion of the now-infamous Favre interception just a couple weeks ago: Most people suggest that Favre should have run, but when I watched a replay, over and over, stopping it and starting, I noticed a Viking - #42 I believe - out on the right sideline, seemingly open if Favre had fired a shot to him. The guy is at about the 31 yard line and his defender is about four or so yards away, moreso when the defender sees Favre look over the middle.

Had Favre faked the throw over the middle and fired it to the guy on the right sideline, that would have been about a 48 yard field goal (assuming the receiver catches the ball and doesn't make any forward progress but steps out of bounds). In fact, the clock on the screen showed about 12 seconds left when Favre was intercepted, so with one more timeout the Vikes could have run a running play up the middle and called their last timeout, with the ball centered.

So you'd be talking about a 48 yard field goal, maybe shorter, in a dome, by Longwell.

[hurleyfan]

But what if SC baits Woody, who posts a 23.000 word diatribe with random bolding about the inner workings of Brett's mind and character that causes SC to respond with more snark, earning him a condemnation from Bretsky. Who then gets hit with a broadside attack (no B, not that kind of broad) from Thunder Dan, who being relatively new does not understand that Bretsky tries very hard to be middle of the road even though he bleeds Favre colored blood?

Then 007 jumps to Bretsky's defense, however, the kindness of that message is lost when packerarcher launches a short but powerful and possibly hallucinogenic contention that Brett, like time, heals all wounds and is a competitor like no other. Ty then attacks packerarcher's sanity and sobriety to great affect but does so in an angry and condescending manner. This gets Gex's blood up and all that can be done is one message with the multiple clapping emoticon and another decrying that Ty should be allowed to publish such attacks while they are simply trying to appreciate the glory of Favre.

Meanwhile pbmax, who only comes in occasionally to fact check (:roll:), responds to Woody's first post in the series from 124 messages back, with a long list of factual complaints and links from 12 other NFL websites that he frequents while he should be working, all meant to point out that Woody can't possibly know what goes on in Brett's mind AND even if we give him that argument, Brett's job description is not Asst. GM. Woody responds with a "good issues for thought" message and a request for time, which causes Gunakor to offer that Woody should take the next 13 months off from PackerRats to study the issue.

Yes Fritz, I saw that too. The player was Berrian, # 87, who was the
1st option on that play according to the breakdown of the play video
shown earlier in this thread.

Once Favre looked towards the middle, the defender who was covering
him dropped off coverage towards the middle, leaving Berrian open
a good 5-7 yards. He was around the 30 yard line at that point.

Kinda reminded my of the 2007 championship game interception where
you can see other Packer receivers coming open but I can't tell from the
video if it would have been possible to wait that extra second to finish the play.

Yes Fritz. Looking at and studing that play I saw exactly the same option. One that looked clearly as Favre's best opportunity to set up a FG at 48 yards or less depended on the forward progress after the catch and any ensueing play.

I couldn't tell who that player was standing on or near the 30 yard line but I'm sure he was shocked not to get the pass. All Favre had to do was pull back on his intended receiver Sydney Rice and it's an easy toss to the right.

Who was that player Rastak, or anyone else if you know?

Yes that was funny but I protest. I've cut way back on the CAP's. Also I apologize for not always responding to posts ( the one you refer to pbmax I'm not even aware of or can re-call ). For the longest time I've not been on line.

Here's the thing as I see it on the Favre attacks and how many still loyal to Favre may feel reading this garbage. This tread is all we here loyal to Favre have left. We are Packer fans who still cherish the fact of Favre and how he pursues his hopes to win another Super Bowl. The thing is. He's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't but worse we have to bear the ridicule of the buffoon's and maintain our contempt of such posters for the overall good of the forum.

Some I'm sure want to go all commie and ban all mention of Brett Favre here. These (if in fact they exist) are the extremists and need to be ignored by the real powers here. The fact remains this thread is ' like a home or homestead ' dedicated to Brett Favre trivia etc.

Now can't most of you agree with this? If you are a guest in my home and you attack my parent or sibling. Your wide open to getting your arse ripped. Funny thing is those of us that see Favre as more positive appreciate the great season he had overall and take the high road when it comes to responding to the posts of a buffoon. Fools can only outdo themselves. Fools have no dignity and almost seem to enjoy being the village idiot. One can only wonder about their lack of esteem and really just ignore that poster or risk being lowered to his or her level.

All season long we have persevered.

Some I'm sure want to go all commie and ban all mention of Brett Favre here. These (if in fact they exist) are the extremists and need to be ignored by the real powers here. The fact remains this thread is ' like a home or homestead ' dedicated to Brett Favre trivia etc.

Now can't most of you agree with this? If you are a guest in my home and you attack my parent or sibling. Your wide open to getting your arse ripped. Funny thing is those of us that see Favre as more positive appreciate the great season he had overall and take the high road when it comes to responding to the posts of a buffoon. Fools can only outdo themselves. Fools have no dignity and almost seem to enjoy being the village idiot. One can only wonder about their lack of esteem and really just ignore that poster or risk being lowered to his or her level.

All season long we have persevered.
No Woody, that was a post from long ago (an exception to most of the other referenced posts/posters) and from another thread. And I think you did eventually respond. No worries. And the Bold/Caps Lock was just a callback to that time too.

I would just like folks to stop blaming everyone else for the way they feel. No more references to hating or loving (at least as far as Brett goes) or pot stirring or pot calling the kettle black, or calling the Admin to ban or moderate. If all the Favre stuff is in here, then some of it will be pro and other material will be anti. I think we are all adults enough to understand there are a great variety of viewpoints about Brett at this point, some of which we simply aren't going to agree on.

But there is no reason to plead, beg or respond angrily to any post. This may be the "home" of Brett Favre material, but it isn't anyone's home in particular, so we need to keep some distance from it.

You mean like this?





Exhibit A:




I ate Darren Charles shit once. right out of the toliet. It was good.


Yea sure, but come on get REAL - own up to the whole TRUTH, Doctor.

"Someone told me - you had EXTRA fries , EXTRA ketchup and you were real heavy on the hot peppers, with that late night snack." jk

Evidently, Packer fans.

Dr. Nutz had a munch on and was stuck.

Due to the hour, that wasn't one of those very rare ,late night eateries that afforded the refined discrimminating Doctor, a garnish ala 'Grey Poupon'.

I mean come on Dr.Nutz. You were eating 'almost' . . . . HOLY Shit' .

I'll add this though, and to your credit Doctor. That experience that you re-call so well, is well let's say . . . .

It's very Byzantine.[/b]

Scott. This isn't about me Vs them. It's about declaring and exibiting some decent respect for aguably one of the top 3-5 All Time QB's. We can definitely agree that Favre's pick was a turning point in what looked like a Viking victory. That play forced the game into OT. After that it comes down to a coin toss and getting the correct call.

You as much admitted that it was your grief that it appeared as thought the Vikings would pull out this game. Dis you consider the impact of the too many men in the huddle 5 yard penalty? Wasn't that too a turning point that called for a passing play? You as much as admitted that the Vikings dominated on offense. The Viking defense allowed 77 yards of offense in the second half. This game was stolen from the Vikings in regulation but no more or less that game went to OT and it's brand new.

Then as happens more than not was won after getting the correct coin toss. There are many factors to consider in a teams winning or losing. This game came down to two successive success's. Winning a coin toss and winning a challenge on a pass completion that was challenged and ruled as called and a subsequent 40 yard field goal.

Favre had nothing at all to do with what transpired in OT. Yet you go all kiddish over his pick. Where is your common sense or dignity man? I believe in this issue it's lost in your need to take apart a man that still means alot to many Packer fans. It's lost in your disrespect for more that Brett Favre Scott Campbell. You fail to weigh respect for those here that wish the best for a fine QB that will live on as a Packer and NFL great.

You've had your fun Scott. It's time to let that pick go. The score was afterall tied on a Viking comeback before and after that pick.

[Scott Campbell]

The Vikings had played their way into the Superbowl. The game was over. But then Favre inexplicably choked. Again. With the entire Viking season on the line, Favre did what he always does in that situation. He choked. Just like Philly. Just like NY. The game should have been over. He's no longer a closer, and hasn't been since the magical 96 season. That seems like a very long time ago.

And best of all, he deserved it.

[HowardRoark]

Depends if he had to hit a wide open wide receiver on a long ball for the win or not.

Truth be told Rodgers had a chance to win that game after having a very good game. He blew the throw

Favre had a chance to help his team win that game by either running for five more yards or throwing to somebody else. Both still assume Longwell makes a field goal next to what he noted was his limit and he needed more yards for that. They were out of field goal range with an incompletion. He blew the throw as well. To say his team had the game won is untrue; they were out of field goal range after a stupid penalty

Anybody can come out and say the loss was not Rodgers fault for that and there were many more reasons GB lost than the final throw. Ditto for the Vikings game.

Hard to say, in all honesty, which is the better team week in and week out.. If both teams played the way they did that game, the Vikings should win. But who's to say if they played 10 more times that the Saints wouldn't play a heck of a lot better, and the Vikings worse, even without fumbles? You just don't know.

When a team can lose to Tampa Bay one week and beat the Cowboys the next, it goes to show that past performance or present performance means little. All that matters is the scoreboard, because the same two teams might look totally different playing each other a week later.

WTF is with the Favre supporters getting all emotional and bent out of shape? For the past 2 years WE (those who back the organization) have had to deal with the Favre bullshit and how the Packers made a mistake, how Favre was wronged, and on and on.

Any Favre supporter could have easily gone to a Jets or Vikings board, or to Favre's website and posted how much they love him there. They didn't.

Honestly, this shit is out of control expecting people to NOT be thrilled that Favre fucked up.

Vikings want Favre's decision soon (http://www.fannation.com/truth_and_rumors/view/155070-vikings-want-favres-decision-soon)


The consensus guess is that Brett Favre will return. But Favre has proved it's virtually impossible to predict what he'll do next. The Vikings, although they won't say it, need to know Favre's plans before March 5, when the trading deadline opens, so they would be able to compete with other teams to acquire, for instance, a Donovan McNabb from Philadelphia or a Matt Hasselbeck from Seattle, or whomever they would try to bring in.

After the tremendous season Favre had last there is no reason for him to dally with his decision to come back for one more try. He had to think realistically and realize that the trip to the Super Bowl was a two year plan.

Retiring at the top of his game isn't an option as I try to understand Brett Favre. Especially coming so close in the NFC Championship game. I hope Favre gets onboard fast for 2010 especially given it's an uncapped year and the Vikings should know what's missing to really be seen as going for it.

The last thing that Packer fans want is for Favre to continue. The best thing that Packer fans can hope for is for Brett Favre to hang em up. I can't see him being accomodating. :D

Two year plan? Why, because it was going to take Favre a year to get to know Childress's offensive scheme? :lol: If next year is any different it will be because it is a year too late: Pat Williams is in decline and talking retirement, Hutchinson's play fell off in 2009, and Favre himself will be 41. I don't think "wait till next year" has a very cheery ring for Vikings fans right now.

How is his past season any different than his last season in GB? Many said that was his best season until then, he barely missed the Super Bowl in the NFC Championship game, and the Packers were young and rising. The vast majority of fans wanted him back.

If he could decide to retire then, he can certainly decide to retire now.

Are you suggesting he has a grudge against the Packer fans?

After the tremendous season Favre had last there is no reason for him to dally with his decision to come back for one more try. He had to think realistically and realize that the trip to the Super Bowl was a two year plan.

Retiring at the top of his game isn't an option as I try to understand Brett Favre. Especially coming so close in the NFC Championship game. I hope Favre gets onboard fast for 2010 especially given it's an uncapped year and the Vikings should know what's missing to really be seen as going for it.

The last thing that Packer fans want is for Favre to continue. The best thing that Packer fans can hope for is for Brett Favre to hang em up. I can't see him being accomodating. :D

How is his past season any different than his last season in GB? Many said that was his best season until then, he barely missed the Super Bowl in the NFC Championship game, and the Packers were young and rising. The vast majority of fans wanted him back.

If he could decide to retire then, he can certainly decide to retire now.

My response to you:

Ohh my. Here we go again. Can we ever agree on this issue or get real and stop jerking this around? The Packer management wasn't on with Brett Favre after the 2007 season and decided that Aaron Rodgers was their starting QB Patler. What the Packer fans wanted or didn't is moot. Favre was out as a starter in Green Bay.

In respect. Whether a majority of Packer fans wanted Favre back after the loss to the Giants I'll leave to your analysis Patler based on your excellence with the stat's.

************************************************** ***********


Are you suggesting he has a grudge against the Packer fans?

My response to you:

No I'm not suggesting such a thing Patler. For you to go there is foolish on your part. Please don't try to bait me in such a serious issue as that allegation appears to be. Maybe I'm confused with your query Patler? It's clear to me that Brett Favre always has been upfront on his respect for Packer fans in general.

Have you evidence of anything to the contrary Patler? :D

Here's where I think you are completely clueless. If Favre announced soon after the 2007 season that he wanted to return, he would have been the starting QB in 2008. No question in my mind.

It sure sounds like you think you know for sure what happened.

I think there will never be agreement on this because what's being argued is not the facts, or our limited insight into what actually went down. Instead, the arguments are based on personal likes and dislikes, admiration for Favre and distaste for Thompson. There is no way that any amount of reasoning can change how someone feels about TT, so this discussion is pointless.

What I do know for certain is that BF retired after the 2007 season taking himself off of the roster and out of the starting QB position. That is a fact no if ands or buts.

[Brandon494]

Favre has been on this retirement shit for the past 5 or 6 years and the Packers just got tired of it. If that was his first time brining up retirement I believe they would have let him come back but the shit just got old and they knew what they had in AR. I would have let him come back after that 13-3 season but TT made the right decision going with Rodgers.

[Scott Campbell]

I think emotion plays out in slightly different ways among the pro and anti Favre crowds. Many of the pro-Favre fans seem to have internalized Favre's antipathy for TT, or maybe they were anti-TT even before the rift (there were certainly plenty of those). The most vehement anti-Favre fans display emotional reactions against the image of the traitor, the former teammate who would go out of his way to hurt his old team and his old fans just to score a personal point. What I am saying has little or nothing to do with how people felt two years ago. It's all about how emtions play into the ways we interpret the rift.

There are those of us who believe that Favre was just waiting for the train to leave the station before he announced he in fact really wanted to play - just like he did the following year with the Jets. I think he wanted to play indoors and have have a coaching staff and front office that he could easily manipulate. And he wanted to protect his Packer legacy by shifting the blame for leaving to Ted.

Some of his fans want to believe that he just changed mind about retirement. Yet for an entire year he never once wavered about who he wanted play for - the Vikings. The dude never changed his mind. That's just what he'd like you to believe.

No baiting involved Woodbuck. Above are your exact words. I simply questioned whether you were suggesting that Favre would find encouragement not to retire simply because the Packer fans wanted him too.

[Scott Campbell]

Are you sure?

Packer fans wanted to see him choke away their Superbowl berth, and he was more than accommodating with that. :lol:



I'm a little torn. If he hangs them up, he can't win a title and it's mercifully over. Finally. On the other hand, I sure enjoyed watching him puke all over himself in the clutch against New Orleans. And I'd love for our line to get another opportunity to dish out a little of what NO hit him with.

I guess I'm good either way.

Well, it was intended to be a funny (in a way) due to your countless posts regarding Favre. I mean, really...who else would spend so much time, and for what other reason, to dig up so much info on the man? go figure!

So in response to, "I'm out of line" ...naa....I think u just took it the wrong way. http://blog.al.com/outdoors/2008/04/small_crying_baby_rbby_92.jpg

I've only known one other person at PR that was able to take all the "injustice" and try to spin it the other way as well as you do. I don't really think you actually get off that much on doggin BF (but I could be wrong) as much as you just want to bombard the BF thread with "crap" (as I call it) just to antagonize those that still support him. Most likely in hopes that someone will call you out ...argument starts and then the thread can be banished...which I think you would enjoy. So with that in mind...go for it....bash away. Most will laugh...some with you....some at you.

It's all kinda funny in a way. This thread was created at a time when Favre was playing well and some at PR did not want a bunch of Favre threads all over the place. I believe I remember the majority saying they didn't mind keeping one thread around about Favre. Thing is, it was obviously created for those PR members that supported him and still wanted to follow his career. You've made it your objective to trash the thread and hopefully get rid of it, I would assume.

So back to your original post..."why don't I read the fucking rules". I think I have a perfect understanding of the "fucking" rules and did nothing to break them. Good day.

Speaking of crying, at least one Viking is very upset about the Saints touching Lord Favre:


http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/02/16/shiancoe-says-there-might-be-a-little-extra-out-there-when-vikings-play-saints/


"So it all depends on who it is placed upon and how they react to it, man, but we didn't like that too much, of course. Especially being that it was Brett, it's unnecessary hits and a little bit of extra. So, you know, we play these guys again. It might be a little bit extra out there."

Like teammate Ray Edwards, Shiancoe says he didn't realize that the Saints were applying "remember hits" to Favre. And Shiancoe says he would have done something about it, if he had known.

"That's what I'm trying to tell you, is that I didn't know it was going on because usually I was in a route or stuff like that but after the game when I seen all that definitely I probably would have said something to our defense," Shiancoe said. "And, like, that's the truth. I would have said something to our defense about it and it would have been damn chaos out there. It would have been a war out there."



Hey Visanthe, I hope you keep blocking the way you do because so many of us enjoyed watching him get his well deserved beating. Not quite as much as the choke job to Porter that ended your season, but satisfying nonetheless.

The Saints were trying to apply "remember" hits on Favre? I think most teams want to do that to a QB.

It turns out ironic, when Favre was trying to burn TT in the media, I thought, "man, this guy deserves to get a little of this back". The things Favre and the Favre faithful said to Aaron Rodgers and Ted Thompson were undeserved, vindictive and awful. Favre did everything he could to hurt them.

To see the look of pain and agony on his face, to watch him blow that game for the Vikings, he got everything back that he deserved. This is how Favre's career was meant to end. This is how he's meant to be remembered.

Goodbye Bert. We'll never forget what a sleeze ball you were and are. We'll always get a little smile remembering the painful justice your received in January of 2010.

From Nov. 23:






Last season (2008) Favre again took the hapless NY Jetrs from 4 wins in 2007 to 9 wins. This season the NY Jets are sitting to date at 4 wins. They won't win nine games. Favre!

We see where Minny is this season and a lot of credit has been given to Favre the outstanding QB and leader.

Favre to visit with Leno on March 4
Posted by Mike Florio on February 24, 2010 8:24 PM ET
Even as the 2010 free agency period launches, we won't be able to get away from the guy who looms over the offseason like the fart cloud at a bean farmers convention.

At or about the time that the flood gates open at midnight on March 5, Jay Leno will be welcoming to The Tonight Show one of the few guests with more gray hair than the host.

Brett Favre.

According to an online schedule found by our pal Brooks, Favre will join Matthew McConaughey and Lifehouse on Leno's fourth night back in late night. (We assume that at some point Favre will make a crack about his own inability to get his old job back in Green Bay.)

We'll be watching it as part of our constant, round-the-clock coverage of the first day of the first uncapped free agency period since 1993.

"I think around training camp, something's bound to happen." What an ass, he already knew then what he was going to do!

Favre to visit with Leno on March 4
Posted by Mike Florio on February 24, 2010 8:24 PM ET
Even as the 2010 free agency period launches, we won't be able to get away from the guy who looms over the offseason like the fart cloud at a bean farmers convention.

At or about the time that the flood gates open at midnight on March 5, Jay Leno will be welcoming to The Tonight Show one of the few guests with more gray hair than the host.

Brett Favre.

According to an online schedule found by our pal Brooks, Favre will join Matthew McConaughey and Lifehouse on Leno's fourth night back in late night. (We assume that at some point Favre will make a crack about his own inability to get his old job back in Green Bay.)

We'll be watching it as part of our constant, round-the-clock coverage of the first day of the first uncapped free agency period since 1993.

Betcha he announces he's returning for the 2010 season on Thursday.


He's saving that for Regis and Kelly.

What a surprise he does it on March 4th just before free agency starts? Nothing like me, me, me to try and take the spotlight away from what is important the next day!!

BF is all about passion for the game now. Nothing in the date chosen would scream attention hound!

[Pugger]

I have a feeling #4 will try to be coy like he was on the Letterman show back in 2008.

[Fritz]

If he just says he's coming back it'd be a relief for lots of Minny folks, but would mean Favre would at the least be obligated to come in for the beginning of training camp.

I'm thinking he and Minnesota are trying to figure out a quasi-plausible angle that could get Favre out of looking like a slacker for not attending any offseason stuff and might even get him out of a week or two or camp.

[LP]

Childress was on NFL Network last night and more or less said Bert could show up whenever he feels like it as long as he plays again.

[GrnBay007]

I'm thinking he and Minnesota are trying to figure out a quasi-plausible angle that could get Favre out of looking like a slacker for not attending any offseason stuff and might even get him out of a week or two or camp.

From what I've read the MN players and fans don't care if he's there for offseason...or at least part of it. Nobody's calling him a slacker. Well, except for Packer fans. He came in and performed last season w/o camp so I don't think they really care. Not like he's laying in his recliner with a beer all offseason I'm sure.

I wonder what Chilly's gonna say to Pat Williams and the other vets about not coming in for training camp. In the big picture, this all does actually raise an interesting issue about how valuable (or not) training camp really is for established vets. In his book, former Atlanta DE Tim Green argues that training camp is unnecessary - at least the first two weeks - for veterans.

But coaches don't want to hear that. So the problem isn't that Brent will miss valuable practice or anything. It's that the double standard, which everyone knows exists but pretends does not, cannot be hidden in Minnesota now.

Frankly, Chilly could revolutionize training ideas if he told his players who are vets of a certain rank not to come in for the first two weeks. This would give him a better chance to evaluate rooks and young players and give them needed repetitions.

But neither Chilly nor any coach in the fraternity is likely to do this. Instead, my guess is that they'll invent some bullshit excuse for Favre to come in late, and then have to figure out how to deal with the Pat Williamses of the team.

[Scott Campbell]

I wonder if he and Sydney Rice might have been in sync on that final ill fated choke job against the Saints if he only spent more time in training camp building chemistry.

The Vikes are in a tough position. They have no Aaron Rodgers to turn to.

It was really no wonder that Childress just said recently that Favre can take all the time he wants. Of course he can, they don't have anyone that can replace the production he gave them last season. While we had Rodgers, they have... no one really. Still, they knew all this when Childress made that call last off season. The fact they just were in the NFC Championship game, the window with a AP at the level he is being a small one, combined with the OL getting older... it's really a win now situation for the vikes. They will wait as longa s it takes for favre to say he's coming back. He just had an mvp type season for them.

Of course, Favre did that in 07 for the packers too. I think at this point though, there is ZERO pressure from the vikes for Favre to decide anything, and he knows it.

[Fritz]

I wonder how late Favre can come in . . . could he wait until the last week of camp, show up, play a quarter, and call it all good?

[packrat]

Maybe if he came in for the last half of the season, he would be fresher when playoffs come around. besides, by then he'll have an idea if playoffs are going to happen for the Vikes. Wait--why not WAIT until playoffs to come in!

[hoosier]

Favre's indecision is often interpreted as an attempt to get out of preseason activities. There may be an element of that, but I have often thought that the real motivation was in his desire to be coaxed back by his team. I thought that became especially clear when he made his remarks about the Packers not sending strong signals that they wanted him back after 2007. The appearances on late night TV are another symptom. His body may not tolerate the year-round abuse the way it used to, but his appetite for attention seems to be as healthy as ever.

Fritz, he already does. He lets Pat sit out due to "not being in camp shape therefore they place him on PUP for most of camp.

[Fritz]

Well, then maybe Chilly is at the cutting edge of his profession!

I'd like to apply for the job of being the guy who comes up with the "reasons."

Brett Favre - Dint ya see the pictures of his ankes and feet, eh?

Pat Williams - Dat guy der needs ta work out privately, ya know?

Antoine Winfield -

Steve Hutchinson -

Bernard Berrian -

Looks like I got my work cut out for me here.

Mr. Hutchinson is building a home down the road from me. Last summer I had the opportunity to see his wife do her "walk arounds" to make sure everything was going on schedule.

Steve is a lucky man. He has much more important things to do at home. He is excused, just to keep her in the state.

Which head?

Hey... maybe Favre will publicly push for the Queens to sign Nick Collins. Kinda like the Randy Moss deal - y'know, "get us a top notch player right now and so we can get to the SB and maybe then I'll come back..."

Good chance Favre tries to use some humor and many in here rail on him for any comments he makes

No, that BF really wanted to play in GB in 2008 and TT pushed him out the door.

[Zool]

During camp, Favre should bust out the Iverson speech.

"Practice? What we talkin about here. Not a game....not a game....practice. Practice?"

Boy, it's really hard to say. There's been so many that they become a little hard to keep track of.

[Fosco33]

Walking over to get my tickets soon - taping is at 4 pacific. I'll let you know if it's worth watching...

BTW - I may throw up the 'team CoCo' sign. 8-)

[Fritz]

He has that "aw shucks" personality so it's hard to get pissed at him directly - which is probably why he's still married.

But during that Joe Buck interview he really did slip up and call the Vikings "we."

I'm looking forward to the 2011 season when he plays for the Cowboys.

When is this media whore going to go away?

[Gunakor]

When is this media whore going to go away?

When the media stops paying attention. When nobody gives a rats ass anymore.

When Favre goes on Leno, don't watch. When he goes on Letterman, don't watch. When he holds a press conference in August to tell us what he's going to do this year, don't watch. Let the media know that WE don't care and they will leave him alone. Then it'll be over.

I haven't seen the excuse makers around much lately so I'm not sure where the "many" would come from.

It'll be better soon when there is an ignore feature.

This just in...Favre didn't say shit. Just like we expected...he made an appearance for nothing. I'm so glad Rodgers is our QB now.

[Fosco33]

Just got back from the show.... comments:

Packer/Viking fan women - are crazy. I think they think that Brett can hear or see them through the lights.

Favre's priest was featured on the show (he travelled with the family). We sat a few feet from him. Fans were asking the Priest for autographs :roll:

Jay had some fun with Brett - but Brett looked a little awkward. He said - "I'm not saying anything". Then Jay gave him a gold watch (that NBC gave him before).

Matthew McGonehey (sp) was egging Brett on during the taping - "1 more year", etc.

Some brave Packer fans got a 'go-pack-go' chant going during the initial sitdown with Brett.

Saw Brett and his wife/kids as we were leaving. Brittany's friends sat in front of us - quite hot. 8-)


Other than that - Jay's mono was boorish and his 'cat n' cop' bit featured a stripping cat, lame cat butt in the face, etc. Definitely lame.

If you see a dude flashing 'co-co' standing next to his wife (in white/red checkered' blouse - that was me.

Either way - it was cool to see him and the wife loved seeing Matthew/Brett simultaneously. :P

[Fritz]

Somehow it would be kinda cooler if Favre just said he's coming back but that he intends to skip the first two weeks of training camp. Apparently Minnesota doesn't care - neither the team nor the fans - so why not just say it?

[channtheman]

LORD Favre coming up next on Leno for those that are interested.

EDIT: Well just saw that someone already posted what happened. Whatever, I'm still gonna watch it knowing Favre won't say anything.

EDIT: Yup, waste of time.

[Fritz]

Brent:

"Yes, Jay, I am playing for the Vikings next season. But we've got a family vacation planned for the end of July - we're going to Greece - so I'll probably throw the football to some Greek high school boys on the beach, just to keep the arm loose, then when we come back in August I'll make sure the lawn at home is mowed nice and tight and then I'll head up to Mankato. Maybe third week of August, I'm thinking. We'll see."

Say it, Brent! Be brave!

Perhaps the tone in here has flushed them and others away; perhaps that makes some more happy as well.
