OFFICIAL BRETT FAVRE WANTS TO PLAY AGAIN THREAD!!!!

[GBRulz]

Al Jones blasts T.T. in an interview yesterday...

http://media2.620wtmj.com/sportscent...8_Al_Jones.mp3

One minute he says it's all a rumor about Brett coming back. A couple minutes later when asked, Al says he def sees Brett playing this season.

I probably want to see Brett back more than anyone, but I'm just so tired of all this drama. IMO, Brett needs to speak up and just say what it is on his mind. The one thing that I've disliked about everything since (including) his retirement has come from "sources."

If I were Thompson I would make him jump through all the hoops just to unretire, but I would not let him step foot on the practice field. For all the great that Favre has accomplished as a Packer, this attention mongering ego of his is not needed.

Of course its not needed, but I doubt T.T. wants to go down as the G.M. who wouldn't let one of the best ever come back. Or traded one of the best ever to another team.

Quick, no google, what was the GM's name who traded montana?

How about McNair??

Johnny U anyone?

BF wouldn't be the first guy to get traded at the end....what do the above 3 have in common??

[Tarlam!]

So many damned Favre threads i dunno which to post on!


I am in TT's corner on this.TT will do solely what is best for the Green Bay Packers franchise in an effort to bring a Lombardi Trophy home.

Brett Favre will do what is best for Brett Favre.

That is my point of diferentiation with the two main characters in this high noon showdown on the horizon.

P.S. This whole nonsense started when Brett ummed and ahhhed the year A-Rod was drafted. For me, it's gone on long enough.

P.P.S. I guess most people (men at least) on Earth would give their left testacle to be as talented at a GAME as Mr. Favre. I simply cannot put myself into his midset retiring when he did. He was one score away from the big dance last year.

I agree. Brett brought much of this on himself with more than half a decade of public indecisiveness on the matter.

Now this is different from stating the news is "rumor." I can't find anything on ESPN confirming this though...

Favre texts Mort, says
The News
No sooner do we speculate on when Brett Favre's potential comments about the news of today, stating he was seeking a team to join for a return to the NFL, then ESPN reports Favre has contacted them and is stating he has no interest in returning to the game.
Our View
ESPN is filing the report on television as we speak, and we anticipate more of the story is still to come. Simply stated, Chris Mortenson is reporting he has received a text message from Favre that states, "I'm not coming back." We'll keep you posted.

I hope that's true. Clear message, quick response.

Everyone call your congressperson and ask for congressional hearing to look into the media's use of anonymous sources.
What could they possibly have to gain by breaking a story that is entirely based on anonymous sources?



They've probably been sitting on this story for weeks waiting for a slow time in the news.

This just in, anonymous souces tell us that Favre's itch is actually poison oak picked up from mowing his lawn.

I don't know if I'd want Favre back anyway, remember the Madden NFL cover curse!!

Or even more evil, the Packers could have leaked all this to cover up for Aaron Rodgers telling the fans to shut their mouths. And now Favre is painted as an asshole by many, you all should be ashamed.

Guys like Al Harris have echoed the statements made in that report, so I don't think it is unfounded. The timing of it is ironic, but I think it was merely coincidence.

Damn, where's Tank to through his 2 rubles into this crap?

TT+AR=antichrist

All evil...all the time

Funniest thing.

A couple of days ago I saw Favre in that new Soloflex infomercial. First thing I thought was "dude, WTF are you doing promoting exercise equipment when the main reason you said you retired was because you were tired of trying to get ready for games?"

Then I heard the Chicago sportscasters talking about how the Bears would be crazy not to load up a package and make a run for Favre and I was like "Oh nooooooooo........"

[FritzDontBlitz]

Plus I personally believe that Brian Brohm is the future. Mike Martz has his Kurt Warner, Belichick has his Tom Brady, McCarthy has Brian Brohm.

My sentiments as well. I just can't get over the sick feeling of seeing A-Rod snap like a twig like he does every time he gets a chance to play. And we can talk our ass off but after 17 years of the same QB lining up under center we know that the first time A_Rod comes out for so much as a hangnail the panic is going to set in. I don't think he's durable enough to survive an NFL season - especially if Daryn "the human turnstile" Colledge doesn't show major improvement.

There are very few QB's who last a full season without coming out at some point or other due to injury. Favre hasn't had many either, he just heals fast enough that he was able to come back and start the next game. But he's gotten injured and had to come out of games he could not finish in most of the years he's been here. Even the glory years of the mid 90's. T.J. Rubley anyone?

Besides that, have you even seen any recent pictures of A-Rod? He's conditioned himself this offseason to be the starter. He's beefed up a tad. He's doesn't look nearly as fragile as he did coming out of college. He'll be fine. Shit will probably happen where he'll have to come out and Brohm will see playing time, same as the shit that happens to Favre to allow Rodgers to see playing time. That's football. It is incredibly unfair to compare a players durability to that of Favre. We may never see a player with that kind of durability here in Green Bay ever again.

How come everything wasn't kept in the official thread? We could have had a monster thread going--like a draft thread.
