34-year-old Brandi Favre was busted after cops broke up a meth lab hidden in a condo in an upscale neighborhood.

Cops told WLOX, "We discovered the full lab in the bathroom; it was still cooking. I think we collected pretty close to ten grams of finished product, which, that's a lot of meth."

Brandi -- and 4 others -- have all been charged with manufacturing meth, possession of a controlled substance, transferring a controlled substance and generation of hazardous waste

That last deal is a crime? They could arrest me every day, about 10AM, give or take an hour, depending on what fruit I eat.

"Generation of hazardous waste" - Is that talking about the continuation of the Farve genome or just rednecks in general?

Ah, but he would use a bread knife and not a glass cutter so as not to eff up your glass house. A smart dad!

Brandi Favre: The Favre Family is Having a Classy Year (http://www.deathandtaxesmag.com/44466/brandi-favre-the-favre-family-is-having-a-classy-year/)

By Matt Kiebus (http://www.deathandtaxesmag.com/author/matt-kiebus/) Thursday, January 13, 2011
It’s nice to see the Favre family is starting 2011 on the right foot.
http://www.deathandtaxesmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Favre.jpg (http://www.deathandtaxesmag.com/44466/brandi-favre-the-favre-family-is-having-a-classy-year/favre/)
Hindsight is twenty-twenty, but if 2010 taught the 41-year-old Brett Favre anything, it’s that he finally should have stayed retired. The last season of the Favre’s legendary career will forever be remembered as one long, painful and embarrassing mistake.
Now it seems Brett isn’t the only Favre with questionable judgment.
Brandi Favre (http://www.thisisbrandx.com/2011/01/brandi-favre-arrested-zodiac-signs-change.html), Bret Favre’s sister (http://www.businessreviewusa.com/industry-focus/people-skills/brett-favre-sister-busted-cooking-meth), was arrested and charged yesterday for allegedly being a part of a crystal meth ring in Diamondhead, MS. Her charges include the manufacturing of meth, possession of a controlled substance, transferring a controlled substance and generation of hazardous waste.
This should be no surprise considering she spells Brandi with an “i” instead of a “y,” which scientifically proves she’s bad news (http://www.aolnews.com/2011/01/13/brandi-favre-brett-s-sister-arrested-after-meth-raid-5-fa/).
The 34-year-old is also no stranger to handcuffs and men in police uniforms — not in the stripper sense. Brandi has two previous arrests on her record, for shoplifting and for a drive-by shooting. Which is enlightening, considering the film industry had me to believe 100% of drive-by shootings occurred in Compton, not Mississippi.
The good ol’ southern charm that Favre has been famous for his entire career has all but vanished in what has been a bizarre, head-scratching past 12 months (http://www.deathandtaxesmag.com/23858/brett-favre-cockteases-jenn-sterger-espn-and-deadspin/).
Brett Favre became famous for his fearless style of play and the pure joy and passion that seemed to fuel his success. He had an legendarily strong arm that led him to make courageous and questionable decisions on the field. Favre was nicknamed “the gunslinger” for his intrepid attitude on the gridiron. It was this gunslinger mentality that made him great, and it probably cost him a couple Super Bowl championships as well.
Now we’re beginning see how his cavalier attitude hurt him off the field as well.
As legend has it, in Favre’s younger days he was known as a legendary partier. He entered college as the seventh string quarterback at Southern Mississippi, the only school that offered him a scholarship. Before he entered his first game at quarterback he was puking, not from nerves, but from a nasty hangover.
And when he was drafted by the Atlanta Falcons in 1991 his drinking and partying continued, so Falcon’s coach Jerry Glanville (http://nfl.fanhouse.com/2010/03/18/jerry-glanville-i-traded-brett-favre-for-drinking-too-much/) traded Favre after his rookie season.

“I had to get him out of Atlanta. . . . I could not sober him up,” Glanville said. “I sent him to a city where at 9:00 at night the only thing that’s open is Chili Joes. You can get it two ways, with or without onions. And that’s what made Brett Favre make a comeback was going to a town that closed down. If I would have traded him to New York, nobody to this day would have known who Brett Favre ever was.”
And it wasn’t merely booze that Favre struggled with, like his sister Brandi, Brett had a drug problem during his time with the Green Bay Packers, and his abuse of prescription painkillers resulted with a trip to rehab.
He might have curbed his addictions, but the attitude always remained.
For the majority of Favre’s illustrious career he was adored by the media for his childish grin and kindly southern drawl. His mistakes were always met with light criticism. It was Brett being Brett, and as stupid as it might sound it was the truth.
Without being a fearless hick (no offense, but he is) with only three loves: Budwiser, Football, and Wrangler jeans. He would have never become Brett Favre.
However over the course of the past three NFL seasons Favre has been depicted as a selfish, money hungry adulterer. His fan base decreased with every exhausting tear-filled press conference, and each premature Sportscenter retirement special.
Then karma decided to intervene and take things a step further, in the form of Favre’s infamous dick pics and his injury-filled final season. Both age and immature stupidity caught up with Favre. The same immature stupidity that has his sister in cuffs at a Mississippi prison. It’s been a year that quite frankly has made the Mississippi family seem a tad on the trashy side.
Favre was never perfect, he never tried to be, and it was precisely the reason most people liked him. He’s not the perfect southern boy from the perfect southern family — that would be Peyton Manning.
But we were willing to ignore his flaws until this season. The year we watched the legend die.
Come to think of it Favre was legendary at everything: his failures, successes, virtues and vices. And for some reason I can’t help but admire that, while simultaneously being pissed at myself for the same undue admiration.
Welcome to the Brett Favre paradox. Thank God he’s retired.

[Joemailman]

And when he was drafted by the Atlanta Falcons in 1991 his drinking and partying continued, so Falcon’s coach Jerry Glanville traded Favre after his rookie season.
“I had to get him out of Atlanta. . . . I could not sober him up,” Glanville said. “I sent him to a city where at 9:00 at night the only thing that’s open is Chili Joes. You can get it two ways, with or without onions. And that’s what made Brett Favre make a comeback was going to a town that closed down. If I would have traded him to New York, nobody to this day would have known who Brett Favre ever was.”

One of the dumbest things I've ever heard. I'm pretty sure the bars in Green Bay don't close at 9:00. He sent Favre to Green Bay because Ron Wolf was willing to give up a 1st round pick.

I saw this on another forum:

JIM SOUHAN, Star Tribune

Brett Favre will stand on the Vikings' sideline for the last time today.
Thus will end one of the most volatile episodes in Minnesota sports
history, an 18-month window in which Favre sequentially proved right
anyone who ever praised or doubted him.
Favre will end his career as a limping contradiction. In a society that
revels in either-or debates, Favre has proved that "all of the above"
can be the correct assessment of a polarizing individual.
You can take either side in a debate about Favre and be right.
He is at once the most prolific passer in NFL history and the most
erratic
great quarterback to ever play the game.
He is renowned for his fourth-quarter comebacks and clutch play, and yet
has thrown more season-destroying interceptions than any quarterback in
history.
He is the toughest man in the annals of a brutal sport -- having started
297 consecutive games at a position that is the equivalent of a clay
pigeon at a shotgun range -- and the most emotionally needy player ever
to
don a helmet.
He is a charismatic leader who can unite a locker room and inspire a
huddle, and he is a divisive figure who was known in New York for
ignoring
his teammates.

He wouldn't tutor Aaron Rodgers, his chosen successor in Green Bay , yet
he volunteers his time coaching high school kids in Hattiesburg , Miss.
He launched or improved the careers of a dozen coaches -- including Andy
Reid, Jon Gruden and Mike Holmgren -- and ended the head coaching career
of the man who brought him to Minnesota and helped him make $28 million
in
18 months.
He craves the spotlight but won't dress for it, favoring old jeans,
sweaty
golf hats and perpetual stubble even during news conferences watched
by
millions.
He shuns the media five days a week -- a writer from Washington , D.C. ,
once told me it was easier to land a one-on-one interview with the
President than with Favre -- yet manipulates national reporters every
week
to disseminate dubious messages.
He will forever be remembered as an iconic Packer, yet he began his
career
with Atlanta , visited New York and chose to finish his career with
the
Packers' arch-rival, intent on beating the franchise that made him
famous.
He is a Hall of Fame quarterback who became a symbol of longevity, and
yet
each of the four teams that employed him was glad to see him go.
He prides himself, as he once told me, in "playing like a kid," even
when
teammates put a rocking chair in front of his locker.
He "loves the game" yet can't bring himself to show up for offseason
workouts or the opening day of training camp.
He is a Southern good ol' boy who made his reputation on the Frozen
Tundra.
He reveres the record book and NFL history but once flopped on the
ground
to help New York Giants defensive end Michael Strahan break a sack
record.
All of which makes you wonder: When Brett Favre looks in the mirror,
does
his reflection appear in 3-D?
Because Favre is so internally conflicted, so relentlessly
contradictory,
offering a final assessment of him isn't easy.
Remember, it was a year ago that Favre was preparing to help the Vikings
whip the Dallas Cowboys in the Metrodome, in one of the most impressive
victories in franchise history.
It was less than a year ago that Favre was preparing to run the Vikings'
offense up and down the field against the eventual Super Bowl champion
Saints in the deafening Superdome.
At the age of 40, in his first season in purple, Favre came within one
pass of taking the Vikings to a Super Bowl they might well have won.
Therein lies the Favre conundrum: He was the reason the Vikings were
able
to come within one of Favre's startlingly amateurish interceptions of
doing what had never been done before in 50 years of Vikings history,
and he was the reason the Vikings followed that thrilling season by
with
an implosion so spectacular it could probably be seen from space.
Favre giveth, and Favre throweth away.
Even at the end of a season in which he showed up late, extorted team
owners for a raise, got his coach fired, destroyed his team's Super
Bowl
aspirations, became the subject of a sexting scandal and groveled for
sympathy every time he stubbed his toe, Favre set a record for
perseverance that may never be matched and conducted a dozen of the most
compelling, funny, insightful news conferences we'll ever witness.
It is typical of Favre that as his performance and machinations
destroyed
this season, destroyed what might be the last chance for many of his
teammates to qualify for a Super Bowl, he remained a popular figure in
the locker room, a source of humor and a subject of admiration.
You can hate Favre or love him.
But why choose?

JIM SOUHAN, Star Tribune

...

That may be the most accurate, most complete description of Favre that I have ever read. Souhan wrote many great, great statements pointing out the contradictions that make up Brett Favre, but this is perhaps the one that sums it up the best:


He is the toughest man in the annals of a brutal sport -- ... -- and the most emotionally needy player ever to don a helmet.

[mraynrand]

Favre giveth, and Favre throweth away.

This should be his NFL epitaph

[vince]

Thanks for posting that Pugger. The walking dichotomy that is Brett Favre demonstrates what is bothersome about him. On the field, yeah he's made a lot of great and bonehead plays. More great than bonehead overall and his longevity alone is nothing short of amazing. His undeniable on-the-field contributions are forever embedded in Packer lore and noone can take that history away. That's not bothersome.

But the duplicitousness by which he's lived his personal life demonstrates his insincerity, which I can't respect. His inconsistency as a person means to me that in the end, Brett Favre cares only about Brett Favre.

[MJZiggy]

"I know it's time, and that's OK. It is," Favre said after the defeat.

Ya think?

[Joemailman]

It's indicative of how badly Favre handled things that his actual retirement is either a punch line, ignored, or draws feelings of "good riddance". I suppose there will be some talk about what a great player he once was, but not much.

[MadtownPacker]

Based on performance I would say a year too late but either way this is good news. Hopefully this forum can get back to what it was before all that shit. Hopefully posters can get back to being united as Packers fans. Hopefully BOTH sides can let it go and move forward.

This coming weekend couldn't have come at a better time. SB trip is sure to cure all ills.

[Patler]

Former Favre teammate and current NFP columnist Matt Bowen wrote an article today:

http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/A-quiet-exit-for-Favre.html


In conclusion, he stated:


As a fan—and former teammate—of Favre, I couldn’t stand watching him break down this season. It was painful. I wanted to see him win and have success—because every player wants that at the end. However, this entire journey that Favre took since he left the Packers has been odd in a sense. And I am just glad that is over from the perspective of someone who studies the league and as an overall fan. It went too far.
Time for all of us to move on from Favre. What he did on the football field was magical—but this is a bit overdue.

I don't think it will be as easy as a "[/thread}".

BTW, great pic. Looks like he's asking for forgiveness. But from whom?

[TravisWilliams23]

It's been 3 loooooong freakin' years but it's FINALLY here. Maybe. We'll see around August.

At this point in time I really don't give a shit if the Pack retires his number or not. I've been a Packer fan since the mid 60's and I can't recall any player or coach who went to another team just to stick it up the Pack's ass. Sure Lombardi went to Washington but the main reason was he wouldn't dare demand Phil Bengston resign just so he could have his old coaching job back. I recall Herb Adderly going to Dallas and being on one of their Super Bowl teams. Herb refuses to wear the Dallas ring. His heart is still with Green Bay.

About the only way I see this ending on a positive is if Favre would get on any of his TV outlets and apologize for being the dick he's bee the past 3 years. I know both sides are at fault for the way it went down but I need to hear from his own mouth that he realizes what an ass he's been. That has to happen before the healing with the true Packer fans can begin.

Starr, Hornung, Taylor, Kramer, Thurston, Majik, KGB, Henderson and so on are all considered Great EX-Packers. Brent......not so much.

[Packgator]

I know both sides are at fault for the way it went down

I still don't see how the Packers were at fault.

[K-town]

Maybe this is just an urban legend, but wasn't there a story about Herb Adderly that went like this:
Adderly thanked the Packers for "trading me to a playoff team" during the 1970 (?) season. After the Cowboys lost on Monday Night Football 38 to 0 to The Cardinals, someone from the Packers front office sent a reply: "You're welcome."

So someone should send a copy of that pic with Deanna and the douche with the purple "THANKSTED" jersey to Mrs. Faver along with a "You're welcome" card.

And from the guy who continually talked about not wanting to stay too long, who insisted he would retire before the team no longer wanted or needed him. He said a lot of the right things, then did mostly wrong things.

But heck, he got close to another $40 miilion for playing the last 3 years, so I guess he's no fool.

Brett Favre may have left Green Bay three years ago, but he's still got the Packers in his heart.

In an e-mail response to ESPN's Ed Werder, Favre said Monday that the Packers are "by far" the best team left in the NFL playoffs.

"[Packers QB] Aaron [Rodgers] is the best QB and the receiving corps is the best ever, maybe," Favre said in the e-mail. "But [defensive coordinator] Dom [Capers] and the defense gets the MVP award at this stage."

Rodgers, who's emergence made Favre expendable in Green Bay before the 2008 season, led the Packers to a dominant 48-21 win over the top-seeded Falcons on Saturday.

Favre officially filed retirement papers with the league Monday after two seasons with the Minnesota Vikings and one year with the New York Jets. The 41-year old Mississippi native originally retired in 2008 after the Packers decided to go with Rodgers as their starting quarterback.

However, Favre decided he wanted to return later in the year and was eventually traded to the Jets.

But Favre insisted he holds no grudges against the organization he was with for 16 seasons.

"There is no bitterness. I'm happy for them and very happy and content with my legacy," Favre told Werder.

Favre again chose to retire after the 2008 season, but signed with the rival Vikings in August 2009. Favre's decision alienated many of those Packers fans who once cheered his Lambeau Field heroics.

Still, Favre thinks this is the year for Green Bay to win its first Super Bowl since Favre and the Packers beat the New England Patriots in 1997 in Super Bowl XXXI.

"I think they will win it all! I hope they do, if you are wondering," Favre said in the e-mail.

[get louder at lambeau]

Rodgers, who's emergence made Favre expendable in Green Bay before the 2008 season...

The 41-year old Mississippi native originally retired in 2008 after the Packers decided to go with Rodgers as their starting quarterback.

Wait, what? Rewriting history a little there? Faver retired AFTER the Packers decided to go with Rodgers? No wonder they don't put the author's name on this bullshit.

I still don't see how the Packers were at fault.

And it begins again.... <sigh>

Well, I hope so. I think it would be unfortunate if he were to remain bitter towards the Packers for the rest if his life. What happened the last 3 years should not define the relationship between Favre and the Packers.

Brett Favre may have left Green Bay three years ago, but he's still got the Packers in his heart.

In an e-mail response to ESPN's Ed Werder, Favre said Monday that the Packers are "by far" the best team left in the NFL playoffs.

"[Packers QB] Aaron [Rodgers] is the best QB and the receiving corps is the best ever, maybe," Favre said in the e-mail. "But [defensive coordinator] Dom [Capers] and the defense gets the MVP award at this stage."

Rodgers, who's emergence made Favre expendable in Green Bay before the 2008 season, led the Packers to a dominant 48-21 win over the top-seeded Falcons on Saturday.

Favre officially filed retirement papers with the league Monday after two seasons with the Minnesota Vikings and one year with the New York Jets. The 41-year old Mississippi native originally retired in 2008 after the Packers decided to go with Rodgers as their starting quarterback.

However, Favre decided he wanted to return later in the year and was eventually traded to the Jets.

But Favre insisted he holds no grudges against the organization he was with for 16 seasons.

"There is no bitterness. I'm happy for them and very happy and content with my legacy," Favre told Werder.

Favre again chose to retire after the 2008 season, but signed with the rival Vikings in August 2009. Favre's decision alienated many of those Packers fans who once cheered his Lambeau Field heroics.

Still, Favre thinks this is the year for Green Bay to win its first Super Bowl since Favre and the Packers beat the New England Patriots in 1997 in Super Bowl XXXI.

"I think they will win it all! I hope they do, if you are wondering," Favre said in the e-mail.

That's it, if the Packers lose on Sunday, I'm blaming Favre. It'll be just like old times.

Because I think it's in your nature to want everything to turn out OK Zig. This is quality I can admire.

BUT - I have a much different feeling:

I posted something similar elsewhere, but I think it's yet another classless, selfish move by Burnt Favre to get the spotlight. The spotlight IS his drug. If the dude had an ounce of respect for any of the players or the organization, he'd just shut his big 'ol southern addict pie-hole and allow this current Green Bay Packers TEAM to have their moment thus far in the playoffs. Instead, he's gotta butt in with his opinion:


"I think they will win it all! I hope they do, if you are wondering," Favre saidThe originator of the email never asked his opinion about the packers as evidenced by the qualifying post-statement "if you are wondering".

If you're out there BF - shut the hell up and disappear until AFTER the Superbowl is over. You had your time, now butt out, stop stealing other players thunder intentionally or otherwise, and let THEM have the spotlight. It's THEIR time pal. Your time is over.

But I'm not bitter

It's interesting because several writers wrote in 2007 that Rodgers clearly had the best camp performance in 2007, and that if you went strictly by what they did in camp, Rodgers would start. Of course all agreed that Favre deserved to start, and that he would turn it on when the season started, as he did that year. That was when I first started to have confidence in Rodgers.

You could be on to something. Favre clearly wanted no part of an open competition for the job when it was offered in 2008.

I got to see Rodgers come out with Jennings very early for practice at Detroit before the thnxgivng game 2007. Guy was very sharp, completing everything. Deep outs to the sideline, comebacks, posts, sluggos, etc. etc. I was really impressed and was starting to think about Manning-Harrison connection stuff (since it was always well-publicized they threw 100 passes or so in warm up). I was a little shocked at how much they practiced together. Where was Favre? (He came out later for that typical team warmup they do). So in the back of my mind, I'm thinking the Rodgers has as big a gun as Favre and may be more accurate - and may be more connected with the receivers - at least Jennings. Then Favre comes out and throws a franchise record of consecutive completions! It was a great time because I knew that once Favre was out, they had this really solid guy ready to go - and the very next week they needed him against Dallas. That was really the beginning of the realization that Favre's time was limited to maybe one more year.

.....I think it would be unfortunate if he were to remain bitter towards the Packers for the rest if his life. What happened the last 3 years should not define the relationship between Favre and the Packers.

Ah, but it will, at least in my Packer fan eyes. I could have forgiven him, I did forgive him for all the bonehead plays that had me chewing through saftey belts and tearing phone books in half. I still adored him. I got over the trade demands and actually rooted for him as a Jet, despite my initial ill feelings.

But when he went to our arch rival, that defined him for me. And this after what IMO were huge gestures of respect by the Packers front office: Sending him his locker as a retirement present, offering him a 20 million PR contract and scheduling his number retirement in absolute record time (the first home game after retirement?!!?).

I hope this Packer regime does not retire his number. In fact, I hope I don't live to actually see it in my lifetime. Even legends should be put in their place. Let Murphy's successor shake his hand on the 50 yard line someday. By that time, there should be less boobirds in the crowd.

But, I'm not bitter.

Good stuff, Tar.

Many months ago I posted that the first unretirement of Favre and his trade to the Jets was--to me--like reading a great, great novel that had you laughing and crying and cheering and totally involved as you turned every page and then you got to the last chapter and realized that the author had totally screwed up the ending. Totally.

Tarlam, the Packers just got into the Super Bowl, and all you can do is run your pie hole about Favre, it is a bit pathetic. Favre earned his reputation as a great QB and one of the greatest Packers of all time. He deserves everything he has gotten both good and bad, but I have come to the realization that Favre's run is over. He finally ran out of gas. It is over.

The Packers made it back to the Super Bowl it is a exciting time to be a Packer fan. I realize I have a bit of egg on my face, I ain't running from it, but I am not at all dissappointed or angry about the Packers success this year.

There's no egg, man. I thought you were a stand up guy to say what you felt and walk off for a good long cool down. Even Terry Bradshaw brought up BF immediately after the game, so Packerrats aren't the only ones who can't leave it alone. I can. I just want to celebrate this sweet, sweet victory.

The destruction of the relationship between Brett Favre and the Packers did pave the way for Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers would have been scrutinized and picked apart for not being Brett Favre if Favre left in a favorable light. Hell, if Favre never went to the Vikings it would have been a tougher road for Rodgers. Rodgers handled himself with so much dignity and respect through the whole thing, it really showed his character. Talk about handling pressure.

It is damn near impossible to hear a negative word about Aaron Rodgers in the state of Wisconsin, he is fucking Luke Skywalker in this state

[Freak Out]

:) but were not talking about wives and blow jobs Tarlam...were talking football....that's all.

Was I pissed at some point during the FUBAR years...yes but it's done and the Packers are winning.

[Tarlam!]

Nutz, you're just as bitter towards TT as I am towards Bert. When the Pack made the NFCCG instead of celebtating it, you focussed on your ode to Bert.

Bullshit Tarlam. Simple you came to this thread way before I posted on it. Thompson is a hell of a cut throat GM. I don't like him but at least I can say I respect his talent as a GM. I didn't think he was organizing his franchise for a run at the Super Bowl in 2010, but he did a hell of a job, youngest team in the league, which I complained about at the beginning of the year, but he had the pieces all along.

I purchased a garment (which I haven't forgotten belongs to a 5 year old) with another man's name on it. I adored the guy. I wanted to cherish his memory and pilger to Lambeau, even Canton and pay homage to his bust That why my bitterness runs so deep.

On a personal level, his antics cost us a number of posters at PR.

Honestly, I don't get this analogy. You have a relationship with your wife and obviously know your worst enemy. That would be emotional trauma one would live with forever because you know them all closely and on a personal level.

We are fans. They are sports figures.
We don't know the players, we don't know Ted, and we don't know the executives of the Green Bay Packers.

I agree with Esoxx; the dude helped me witness my first title so as an athlete I cherished watching him and that team and I cherish Ron Wolf for putting it together. Now they are gone. Brett Favre could take a shit in the parking lot of Lambeau field and I really would not care. Brett Favre could come back squrming to TT and MM with endless apologies and I really would not care either. Is he a douche...jerk...drama queen. Probably. But in the broad scheme of things all of this means very little to me and I've moved on long ago. As a fan it's behind me and I'm just enjoying what we have now.

[pbmax]

What am I doing in this thread? Nevermind.

[get louder at lambeau]

The only reason the Packers made it to the Super Bowl this year is because Faver makes everyone around him better, and he used to be around the GB players. He saved the entire franchise single-handedly!! He's like a kid out there! He has intangibles!

I was 20 when he was the starting QB on a team that won us a SUPER BOWL and brought back OUR Lombardi trophy after decades of losing and being the butt of any NFL joke...for that he has earned his lore in Packer legacy....no matter his personal pitfalls...I don't see anyone here bringing up any of the old timers personal faults off the field...THANKSBRETT

[RashanGary]

Well, after Brett going on Gretta and trying to take down the Packers leadership for not really trying. Let's face it, that was either a last ditch effort to hurt Thompson or a last ditch effort to get him fired so Brett could still stay on board with the Pack. He did hurt Thompson. People were calling him the worst names in the book and lynch mobs formed to call for his firing. Some people, me included, saw this as a complete horse shit act. So here we are. Thompson has brought this team to a point that Brett couldn't do in his last 10 years here and his last 13 years in the league (age 28 and beyond). I'd say he's vindicated and I'd say Brett owes him an appology because Ted was just doing his job to the best of his ability after all. And people who think Favre took the Packers out of the depths are confused. The Packers hiring football people to do football work and stikcing to it is what took them from the dephts and will keep htem there. Brett was a part of it, but that's it. Bob Harlan, to me, deserves the real credit.

[AtlPackFan]

Time to retire this thread. Say "bye" everyone.

[LEWCWA]

bye everyone!

It's all good. The best thing to me is we had a great QB in BF, that brought winning back to GB. It all ended pretty sour, but these things usually do! BFD-I'll always remember his play fondly, but alas we have the good fortune of having another HOF caliber player in the QB position! How awsome is that? Nobody knows what the future brings, So AR needs to cement his legacy in 2 weeks. I for one will remember BF's era with great satisfaction, but have moved on to rooting for the next Packer great and barring injury this guy will be right up there with the best in the game as well! So farewell oldman---Now AR lets go make some more memories, its been a long time again!

[Pugger]

What a bunch of crap....the Favre years were fantastic until the end. I don't care that he was a womanizer or a drunk...he brought fight and excitement back to the Packers. Was he a fuck at the end...? Absolutely...but I will never forget that great stretch of football in the 90s.

Most folks that have no love for #4 NOW appreciate all he did for the Pack during the 90's. But since he quit? Not so much.

[channtheman]

Favre sucks, Rodgers is better. :lol:

i think during bretts time here most of us had this giant packer colored dome dropped over us and filled with favre kool aide until we were drunk with favre love and saw him as a god and looked past his many, many negative attributes

he went to the jets and the dome stayed full. then the packer bashing from him began and the dome cracked, then he went to the vikings and wanted the packers to lose at all costs and the dome drained and most of us sobered up

now we can look back and see the guy did a lot of good, but he did just as much, if not more, stupid things that cost this team. things like his texting adventures would have been overlooked in the old days, just like when him and chewy use to bar hop all over northern wisconsin sexually harassing every female bar tender they could find and just making complete asses out of themselves. even after he got "sober" this attitude continued, but we always turned a blind eye because we were so in love with him

well the love affair is long over after a very ugly break up, now most of us can look back and truly see all the bad that came with the good

This thread will die long before Brett unless he does something stupid (I'm not discounting that possibility, now). Favre retired and it appears this time it might just stick (because if it doesn't no one will hire him anyway). His relevance will diminish except among those who only want to troll and dig up the past (you can already see it happening). I just make fun of the laughingstock he's made of himself and get on with rooting for my team. The one he tried so hard to hurt because of a stupid grudge.

[Bossman641]

Here is a scary thought and a topic that I have been thinkin making a thread on but I wanted to do some research on.

3 years ago at this time Favre was mulling his (first) retirement. After the loss to the Giants, he announced his retirement on March 8. Imagine if he had simply said "yes I will be back." What would the Packers have done? Would Rodgers have pushed for a trade? I have been meaning to go back and look at the QB situations at that time. Would MM have announced an open QB competition? It would have been difficult for even the most ardent MM supporters to support that move after Favre's 2007 season.

The idea has been mentioned before, but in some ways Favre's waffling ways were a gift to MM and TT. Favre gave them an excuse to move forward with Rodgers while not coming across as total idiots. Ya, it created a huge rift and the effects are still being felt but can you imagine Rodgers in another uniform right now??

THANKSBRETT

[Joemailman]

Yep, Favre's retirement got TT out of a real bind. Hard to say what he would have done with Rodgers, because it would have been incredibly difficult not to bring Favre back. One thing is for sure. TT will never talk about it, so all we can do is speculate.

[denverYooper]

Why should any thread die unless it becomes so maligning or sick for this forum that to continue it would be obviouly detrimentlle to the overall good health and moral of PackerRats?

It certainly shouldn't die because posters, like you MJ, feel as you do about Brett Favre and for whatever reason (s) you choose to judge him. He's a human being he made errors. On that note he let many of us down. That doesn't mean he needs to be banished forever at PackerRats and this thread serves the purpose to post any info. on Favre and not populate the other threads with whatever news comes out on him.

On the flip side' of those character issues and the rest of the speculations RE: his departure fr. Green Bay:

Brett Favre was once one of the greatest Packer QB's. He'll be in the HOF. His resume as an NFL QB is outstanding. The positives can be listed on and on. I see no 'real' problem with this thread living on.

Here's a clear solution for you MJ and those that are like you and annoyed by this thread:

** Ignore this thread MJ. Would you have a difficult time doing that? That hard for you? if so then maybe PM your friends and make a pact to go there **. Sort of a mutual support group. to boycott this thread and never post too or respond to any post in it. Ignore this thread don't whine about it's existance.

Allow those of us who see no issue with this thread some PEACE about it's existance and standing here.

My suggestions are too logical MJ. (-: Everyone ' wins '.

[RashanGary]

This SB victory brings new perspective to the Favre debate. Clearly since Bob Harlan hired Ron Wolf and changed the way football is operated in Green Bay, the Packers were going to be strong with our without Favre. This proves the without part of that sentence.

He had a long, accomplished career, but the idol worship seems to be rightfully tossed out after this Packer win and Favre loss.


I'd summarize Favre this way. He played a really long time, so long that it's legendary. He was a gunslinger who made a lot of tight risky throws. His interceptions cost him and his team a lot of big games. His arrogance and attitude separated himself from the team for several years. He was a really good QB for a long time and over time he put up outrageous career numbers. However, for all that he accumulated over time, he was always one of about 10 really good QB's in the league and he always could have been replaced by another really good QB. He was never irreplacable. Thompson replaced him in one try and had he not gotten Rodgers he would have replaced him anyway. He was never irreplacable or special in that regard. He was always overrated and replaceable in Green Bay.

And that's not even a knock. I feel that way about any QB. Put Palmer in NE and Brady in Cinci. I don't know if Palmer gets 3 rings, but I guarantee you Brady doesn't. Brady won with great defenses and damn good ST's. Palmer never had either.

[woodbuck27]

hahaaha

Unbelievable. This thread at almost '400' pages. An outstanding example of the interest that Brett Favre draws.

He was once arguably 'the Icon' of the NFL. He'll always get attention.

[RashanGary]

I enjoy the Favre debate. As time goes by, I'll eventually be one of hte old timers that talks about how overrated he was. I was big fan of a lot of those teams and the credit Favre took from his teammates over the years with his dramatic, "me me" personality is always something I will remind people of when we look back on those great teams that always seemed to fall short with a bone headed interception.

[easy cheesy]

I am SICK, SICK, SICK of listening to the FAVRE crap!!!! SICK OF IT!!!! He brought us ONE RING.... he has multiple SELF CENTRIC STATS... but ONE RING to the team... You know... I don't care who flames me.... I can be schooled by many of the intelligent, Packer educated folks on this board... but this guy NEEDS TO GO AWAY already! It's a new day... it's a new team... it's a new era... Brett Favre doesn't bring "dynasty" to my mind... how could he with one fucking ring... anywhoo.... he seems like a now annointed irrelevent individual who is trying desparately to cling to his "relevancy".... just sayin'... blechhhh....

[RashanGary]

This thread is exhibit A for how overrated he was. He has people believing he's special while he threw seasons away with bone headed play after boneheaded play. GB was starved for a winner and when Wolf built one, the fans latched onto the most dramatic personality on the team. I give Favre credit for having a strong body. As far wanting a QB who does the things necessary to win games, Favre is and has always been replaceable (not special in that way).

Durability = Special
Longevity(records) = Special
Actual play as it relates to winning = Not special


That's Favre's legacy. The dramatic regular season gunslinger who was easily replaced by a QB who does the things necessary to win.


When you think of Montana you think of amazing last moment throws to win games. When you think of Brady you think of him sliding in the pocket just enough to throw game clincher in SBs. Bradshaw, you picture SB bombs to Lynn Swann. Starr you remember doing everything right. Favre you picture Tracy Porter and dozens of other boneheaded, game losing picks. He's a different kind of legend. Records and all, there are a lot of QBs you'd rather have to win a big game. We have one now. Longevity and durability give Favre a forever place in history. It's his only great accomplishment.

I enjoy the debate. He played here for 16 years. How good he actually was will be debated for a long time.

That's Favre's legacy. The dramatic regular season gunslinger who was easily replaced by a QB who does the things necessary to win.


When you think of Montana you think of amazing last moment throws to win games. When you think of Brady you think of him sliding in the pocket just enough to throw game clincher in SBs. Bradshaw, you picture SB bombs to Lynn Swann. Starr you remember doing everything right. Favre you picture Tracy Porter and dozens of other boneheaded, game losing picks. He's a different kind of legend. Records and all, there are a lot of QBs you'd rather have to win a big game. We have one now. Longevity and durability give Favre a forever place in history. It's his only great accomplishment.

I enjoy the debate. He played here for 16 years. How good he actually was will be debated for a long time.

I think he'll go down as one of the better QBs to have played but his knack for crashing and burning in big games will prevent him from being in the same group as Baugh, Unitas, Starr, Bradshaw, Brady, etc. All of his records are there because he played for so many years without interruption.

Unbelievable. This thread at almost '400' pages. An outstanding example of the interest that Brett Favre draws.

He was once arguably 'the Icon' of the NFL. He'll always get attention.

it's 200 pages on my computer. he'll aways be a viking icon.

13 to go to get 8000. come on...WE CAN DO IT.

Favre is scum who got what he deserved this year, and at the end of last year. I've enjoyed every bit of pain he's inflicted upon himself.

I also think it fitting that Deadspin and this young lass will have their prominent place in Bert's legacy.

Do those things deploy in case of a front end collision?

Don't they pretty much look deployed already? Bleah.

This thread is a historical document. Years from now when people study the effect that the Favre Saga had on Packer fans, they will find this thread a goldmine of information.

This is truly a historic thread.

This thread is why Al Gore invented the internets.

This thread is the grand compromise that saved a rat nation and allowed us to find out how much used Brett Favre jersies are demanding.

$9.99 opening bid for a swatch.

Really? Where does one proudly display an authentic swatch?

Only a legend such as Favre could retire this many times.
