BREAKING NEWS: Brett Favre asks Packers for his release

[RashanGary]

I hate him so much for not being a man and saying" I will step down for a legend who is 10000x the man and quarterback that I could ever be. Without Favre as a mentor and friend, I would have been like every other tedford quarterback and suck balls".

You've been drinking.

No. No, he probably hasn't.

[Partial]

You really don't have enough information to be all angry and beligerent right now.

I think I do. I'm ticked that a guy who played an MVP level season for the Packers last year, is a living legend, is the face of the Packers franchise, is one of the best 5 QBs to EVER play the game, is a hell of a lot of fun to watch, etc. appears, to me, to be being forced out in favor of a guy that hasn't started ONE DAMN GAME. To me that's INSANE.

Do you really care if they win 13 or 9 games that much? I'm really at a point where I just want to see guys play that want to be there. For some reason I enjoy the whole team aspect more than just the result of the game. I really grew tired of watching someone who was half in it and completely burnt out by a game that others love playing. To me it was sort of an insult to the guys that gave their everything just to be there.

Also, I have a really good feeling about this team. It's 53 guys, not 1. I think everyone will see that soon enough. They'll give all of the credit to the QB (in this case Rodgers) but it's really the team.

Yes, I do care whether they win. You're a dumbass, Favre plays harder than anyone I have ever seen. If A-Rod has half the passion of Favre he'll be moderately successful from his drive alone.

9 wins and they are not in the playoffs. That would be a good first year for A-Rod and a dissapointing year for Favre.

The next year you'll probably see Al gone, then the year after that Chad and Chuck. Chad, Chuck and Favre are their three best players. The next year wave goodbye to Donald. Their window is closing and they have the talent to win now and still be competitive to tomorrow, yet TTs ego is to big to do it.

Oh fuck off. Go jock sniff your homeboy and "1st wideout taken guaranteed stud" James Hardy cakeboy. Let the people who actually understand the importance of the position discuss it.

[RashanGary]

ooohhh oohhh. . . .

Another bet? ? ?



Partial, I love when people talk really big. It's all fun and games but rarely do these big mouths have any conviction. Let's make a couple bets. The first will be on one season and the 2nd can be on the next 5 seasons. I'll put my money on Ted and the Packers winning more than 6 games next year (like you said they would not) and another bet on them making the playoffs at least 2 of the next 5 years.

You're awfully big when you're calling somebody stupid but you're awfully cowardice when you have to stand behind your words.

You mean a pint full of fugazi rage to make you look like yoru penis isn't tiny. You're a coward, Partial.

[RashanGary]

Partial, you sound like such an idiot tossing around your dopey little slang. You're a coward, a pussy and an idiot. I'm fully convinced of that and I ddin't even code it to make my dick look bigger or my words seem more acceptable to other poeple. I'll put my opinions up against yours any day of the week and I'll put my money where my mouth is. You're are a tiny dicked coward, nothing more.

[Freak Out]

Ha ha....this is great shit you fuckers. Best Favre thread of the bunch. Could be the first time Fugazi was ever mentioned on PackerRats.

Haha...thats what I was thinking too. Next make a Face2Face reference.

This really can't be how you think of Favre, can it? REALLY?

YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS!

[Bretsky]

. I guess it's hard for me to get all stoked up for a guy who isn't even stoked up to play.

What a bunch of fucking bullshit. Like he wouldn't be stoked up to play. Favre busted his ass last year, and there's no reason to think he wouldn't do it again this year. .

I can't agree more with this and it's getting sick to read. I can understand those that don't want Favre back for the right reasons but I think the lack of committment theory is bullshit.

Favre has busted his balls when he's been willing to commit under MM; I think he more than displayed that last year. He'll be committed if he comes back; he missed a OTA so far. He changed his mind.
He'll be committed to the team he ends up getting shipped off to.

Wow. I just got home from the bar, thought I might check the Brewer's score and Blam. I'm just spinning and it's not from the beer.
I usually stay away from football during the offseason, because there isn't any actual football playing so it gets kind of circular. But this is massive, this is a decade and a half of ups and downs that had a pat storyline finish. The Grizzled Vet hands off the torch to Young Pup. Will he rise from the shadow to glory?
But that's all gone, now there's nothing but hard choices. Who wants to be Ted Thompson right now? I had prepared myself to see the team move on. I was surprised that Favre retired after last year. I thought that he would do it the year before, but everything seemed set for a title run this year. Why not go for it?
I have real concerns about this team's ability to be a championship team and whether Favre still has it is one of those concerns. But, I can never question his effort, his sacrifice, or that he is a better bet to be a superior player to Rodgers next year.
I do think that if the organization doesn't want to play him each party has a responsibility to the other. Favre has a responsibility to try to work with them to find a trade partner that he can accept, and the team has a responsibility to release him early on in training camp unconditionally if a trade can't be worked out.
And lastly, he has a responsibility to us Packer fans to never play for the Bears or the Vikings, because that would be an unforgivable offense.

[BobDobbs]

I thought I should add that one angle I really wonder about is how the players are going to react to this. This will be a HUGE distraction throughout the preseason and the season.

I mean do they want him back? If TT pushes Favre out does it rip the heart out of the locker room. Are some players sick of the soap opera? Do they just want to move on to a defensively anchored team with a fresh identity.

Well, they probably want to make millions of dollars and win the Super Bowl. Maybe in that order, maybe vice versa. We probably won't know, because any Packer player that speaks his mind to the media about this is crazy and Sam Cassell doesn't play for the Packers.

As a final note I want to say that anyone who absolutely believes that Brett Favre will never play for the Green Bay Packers again also believes that Chad Johson doesn't play for the Bengals and Lance Briggs doesn't play for the Bears. The Counterpoint is that I've seen Jerry Rice in a Raiders Jersey on a Sunday. So, I'm not saying its not true; I'm just saying it's not over.


"It won't be over till that big girl from Decatur sang."

Funny. But I bet a lot of people talkas 'SOURCES' - then they can pretty much say what they want without having to accept responsibility. "NFL sources say Favre waffled" "Glazers sources confirmed the NFL sources." Buncha candyassed pansies.
