Is Rodgers Ready?

[woodbuck27]

This thread isn't entitled:

Is Brett Favre ready. HE always was,

I disagree, he was always there putting in max effort on sunday, that is indisputable...ready, that can be debated.

Scratching my head... mmmm.

To be or not to be.... ready. He was there to make all those consecutive starts because he was or wasn't ready?

OK.

Harrell you're off your rocker. In any case, Favre has been kind of a media whore since retiring. "Somethings bound to happen". That gets me.

Por favor, based on the attention starved threads you make from time to time I am willing to bet all my dank that if put in the same position you would not only be a "media whore", you would let the media repeatably gangbang you.

Waaa Haaa Haaaa Haaaaaa Haaaaaaaa

Dank is great....Twice as much is way better.

See Letterman.

After his retirement, Favre put himself in the national spotlight only once - the Letterman appearance. Unintentionally, he created national headlines with the comments about the only way he'd ever see himself coming back would be for the perfect cinderella ending if Rodgers got hurt going into the playoffs. And that was only after the media were repeatedly bombarding him with "would you come back if..." scenarios.

The media chases Favre, not the other way around. If he really craved attention, he'd have his own damn reality show by now - "Who Wants to Mow Brett Favre's Lawn?" or something like that.

unintentionally? Do you think he is a dumbass without advisors? GMAFB. He has alluded to time and time again how he can still play, still wants to play, and that "Something is bound to happen come training camp".

Favre chases the media. He said he was going into exile for a year. So much for that.

I'm not saying I wouldn't, but is that right? Has he helped the team or hurt them with his comments since retirement? Ask yourself that. That tellls you everything you need to know.

Unless Favre is planning on going all Tonya Harding on ARod's knee your argument holds no merit. Last I checked team practices still happened recently. Not a damn thing was shut down until #4 decided to come back right? Is TT fucking staying up late drinking whiskey, with a revolver next to him, stressing over it??? I think you need to go watch some violent porn to get your fix.

Ha! Just don't let Jeff Gillooly in building.

Uh, dumbass - when he said "something is bound to happen," he meant that he was bound to feel something when the season starts. You know, like a normal human being. The media, which came to Mississippi to see him - so again, the media chases him - twisted his words to create a news story. That's their job. And suckers like you eat it up.

Favre has been "in exile" other than the Letterman appearance. But Favre is not an a-hole, so when the media chases him, he gives them a few words - within reason only. He's only really done interviews with his dear friend Mooch and with the local media (Biloxi).

I haven't seen Favre's face on TV or in the paper since Letterman. Meanwhile, I have seen pictures and interviews of A-Rod nearly every day. The transition has been made.

Once again, you are wrong. And I'm sure we're all shocked...

OK. So I went to bed puzzled over some sort of suitable response and this suddenly came to me:

Question: Was Brett Favre ready?

My answer: ..... YES

Yes 'somethings' happening. On Sept. 08, 2008 there's a big thing going on in Green Bay and Brett Favre's official retirement celebration. Seems the media wants to be there... again.

Jeeee. Just like... 'the media'.

I'll bet even some of ''you hypocrites'' may shed tears.

I'm in shock at some members on this boards attitudes Re: Favre

Shame on you.

[Patler]

Why is any negative Favre comment almost always responded to with name-calling and extreme personal attacks? We get down on that type of activity in most all other situations.

How about unemotional discussion of their viewpoints?

[MJZiggy]

People just don't love Tory Humphrey with the same emotion as Favre. Yet I can see your point.

How does this infom you?

Brett Favre is retired fr. active play in the NFL. He's still able to speak.

[Patler]

For those who claim to "remember" the blackhole of quarterbacking in Green Bay in the 1970s and 1980s, I would only comment that the Packers had Lynn Dickey for 9 of those seasons, and Don Majkowski for 5. The problem with both was injuries, but I was satisfied with the potential of their play going into the seasons and with their play in the games they were available. Even Whitehurst filling in for Dickey was not completely awful. He wasn't a real asset, but also wasn't a detriment. If the #1 was available, quarterbacking in Green Bay wasn't too bad from the time Dickey showed up in the mid 1970s through Majkowski's years leading into Favre.

The seasons with the likes of some of those that you mentioned were relatively few, but extremely frustrating.

Because a lot of people are plainly and clearly ignorant Patler. Some will hardly achieve 'your standard'. We can aim for patience for some. That hardly works for the other's, so the courageous go to war.
