come on, it would be fun to watch Favre play for Vikes, unless he is really beat up and ineffective now, which is a possibility.
who could get mad at him? it wouldn't be controversial, just interesting to see how he does.

You don't know ESPN very well, do you? :lol:Quote:

All Brett, all day.
Right now, it's Brett vs the Bengals in '92.
Then Cowboys '95 championship
Patriots Super Bowl
The Oakland game after Big Irv died.
3-4 Jet games
Hopefully, they won't have to do this for the next 20 years.
Favre was the type of player that even if the team sucked he would still get you excited for the game. That is by far what I will miss (and have missed) most about him not being here anymore. It was no single game that I loved more than any other because watching Favre play was more than stats or even wins for me especially since I grew up as a kid watching him.
But am glad he's gone because the this past year I have not seen the same Favre.
In the offseason........all I can say is, lucky us!
He made the pro-bowl by playing well for the first 2/3 of the season.Quote:

So NFL Network is reairing tons of old Packer games today - Favre's first win, '95 NFC championship, Oakland MNF, Superbowl victory.
As I rewatch the '95 NFCC vs. Dallas (now almost doubled my age) - it's apparent Favre should have played in a few more Superbowls (first play of the game was a close incomplete pass returned by the pack for a TD, then we block a punt and toss a TD only to have it called back for delay of game... a huge no call on a pick that let Deon take the ball within red zone --- all in the first half of the first Q. Then Favre throws an INT inside our 10 to Leon Lett... only to come back and complete his first pass for a 73y TD strike to Brooks.). That was the 1st Quarter. Favre was wild - tons of overthrows, Reggie was a beast and the Cowboys were flashy coke fiends (and dirty hits - Jurkovic would've whooped Eric Williams in a street brawl). Then Favre hits Jackson and takes the lead early in 2nd Q - despite 2 terrible calls, a stupid penalty that cost them 4 points and a Favre INT that cost them 7 more. Really - should've been 21 to 7 (or 21-3) at that point!
Imagine if the Pack was able to play the Steelers (95/96), then win the Superbowl vs. the Pats, went to another (Denver loss) and could have went to one more (Giants NFCC) possibly three (SF divisional game with the no call fumble, 4th & 22).
So many close games/losses.
Glad Favre got his ring - but man - he could've had a few more without stretching much...
Talking more about the hate he portrayed this last year. That is not the Favre that I loved supporting all these years and I do not want to go though another year of that. I want all my memories of Favre when I get older to be good. It is time for him to call it a career.Quote:

Nice article KYPack, thanks for posting it.
Great Article; those who have turned on him should read about the person
Yep!!Quote:

In his recent news conference, BF came across as a very likeable and straight-forward person.
But then we also hear in that conference (between the lines) that he is holding a grudge against Ted Thompson for ridiculous reasons. Prima Donna stuff.
There is good and bad in him. I don't think the people who have "turned against him" deny the likeable and admirable parts. I'd say it is more accurate to say that his extreme fans ignore his Prima Donna side.
OK, I gotta know. What is "Tennessee Handshake"?Quote:

The Tennessee Handshake is when you shake the guy's hand with your right hand and slip a knife in his back with your left.
Think Bobby Petrino, Nick Saban.

Now I do not mean to disparage Mrs. Favre, and one decision/mistake/accident does not define the totality of a person. And I know only some of the public information about their relationship. She may well be best human being Favre knows. But I am not sure the millionaire 100 times over has outkicked anything here.
You should read her book; great gift for a chick too. Fast reading. You'd come to appreciate the great person she isQuote:

I agree 100%. She has a way of presenting her husband in a very sub-hero way.......like he's a real guy.Quote:
