JAY GLAZER reports FAVRE is DONE

[Zool]

This stupid jackass on KARE 11, an NBC station in Minneapolis just said "Favre will probably be best remembered for his last throw that cost his team a trip to the SB". Yeah, dumbass, that's what he will be remembered by

Then again, I'm sure Queen fans are jumping for joy right now.

I can tell you they are dancing in the streets of downtown Chicago right now.

I would still take Aaron Rodgers over Rex Grossman any day.

Of any week of any month of any year. I'd take an injured Rodgers over a healthy Grossman. He still hurts the team less.

I was just listening to ESPN raido and they read the message favre sent to Mort. It said that he retired because the mental part became to much, and he said that bus cooks comments were not all the way true. Favre said cook's comments were like a father, and while it may have some truth, it is not the whole truth.......or something like that.

I am no dummy, I told ya Cook was talking out of his ass.

[Brohm]

Article posted above mentioned a possible 4PM news conference from TT.

[Fritz]

This just gets weirder and weirder...like some of my fantasies, I guess.

What does that mean? That it's kinda true but kinda not?

[The Leaper]

I am no dummy, I told ya Cook was talking out of his ass.

Not really.

Favre said there was truth in what Cook said.

[KYPack]

Okay, let me just speak what might be the "secret fantasy" for a number of us:

Brett realizes he's made the decision prematurely - this kinda happened suddenly, emotionally, and really, he realizes he wants to play next year and that TT and MM want him back. So he calls off his retirement, says he's sorry, says he's been slightly misunderstood, and he's coming back.

Wow. I feel like sending that in to Penthouse Letters.

I know. I've thought the same stuff.

Brett gets the "retirement package" from the NFL.

He has to sign something. He doesn't feel like doing shit. It sits on his desk at his messy home office for 5 weeks. Everyone yells at him to sign it and send it in. Breet comes out of his funk and say' "screw it, mini's are over I'm playing"!

Then I wake up.

[Merlin]

PEachy, so basically this is a pre-retirement retirement? Meaning that fans will still hold out hope????????

That doesn't sound right, other players retire and have press conferences right away from a lot of team sources without papers filed.

[Packers4Ever]

Come on, you guys who feel sure Brett felt unloved and that's why he's leaving, does that really sound like a Brett Favre comment? Of course not, even if he FELT it he would never say it, so let's get real.
It was reported on ESPN this morning that he'd said he knew he could still
play, physically, but it was the mental aspect of it that gets to him. Somebody on here said that just last week, that was much more likely.
The practices, the training, the constant getting ready when it was the game itself that he loved.

He's going to be on ESPN sometime over or right after the noonhour today so might do us well to catch that and hear him.

Funny, I was so sure weeks, months ago that when this day came I'd be
bawling my eyes out worrying over missing Brett and what do we do now? But it hasn't happened - yet. Maybe it needs to sink in more. One thing keeps being mentioned on TV right now is that everyone - including Brett himself - will remember his last play in the Giants game, the interception. It can't be helped, it is what it is.

Sad. Very sad. At least Rodgers is wearing dickeys old number.

Count me at least one fan who will NOT remember him for the last throw resulting in an interception!

I will remember him for:

--his love of the game
--his many come-from-behind wins
--taking the Packers to the Super Bowl twice
--his incredible records for consecutive games played, wins, touchdowns, completions, yardage gained
--his team attitude
--his overcoming challenges in his personal life.

THESE are the things I will remember about Brett Favre.

[Merlin]

Now you have to wonder if fan, media, friends, and teammates will weigh in an affect this decision. Something about it doesn't seem final too me. Although I was prepared for this after his last snap ending the season, like the web page thing a week ago, something smells!

[Deputy Nutz]

I am no dummy, I told ya Cook was talking out of his ass.

Not really

Favre said there was truth in what Cook said.

If you read it, Favre didn't want to blast Cook for saying the things he did, so he said there was some truth, not speaking for brett, but more for himself in regards to Brett.

Even though the Pack lost I am grateful to have got to see him play at Lambeau last season. He always won when I saw him in SF.

[Merlin]

Hope pulls a Reggie White, although in the same season with the same team.

There is something magical seeing him at Lambeau.
