BREAKING NEWS: Brett Favre asks Packers for his release

[Fosco33]

I take that as a personal challenge. I will post something way dumber before the day is out. Well maybe not way dumber, but I will surpass the bar that has been set.

Breaking News:

Brett Favre's shit DOES in fact smell - like shit. Previously reported to smell more like fresh cut daisy or red roses.
More to come at 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 o'clock episodes of FAVRESPN.

Or this one then...

Breaking News:
Fans and collectors across the country are in process of filing the largest class action lawsuit - EVER. Citing gross overpayment of Favre memorabilia and constant wavering leading to speculative losses on 'investments'.

but his entire legacy could be tarnished over this situation

I think his entire legacy will come down to this situation.

If he screws up here, his career in Green Bay won't last long. If he decides to throw Favre to the curb and Rodgers doesn't pan out, Thompson might be out of the NFL before Favre is.

Give the guy credit for being bold. Keeping Brett is the safer move, and would placate the majority of Packer nation. It's definitely the path of least resistance.

I'm on record as saying TT should be fired if Brett ends up Minnesota, Detriot, or Chicago.

I've always considered you an extreme pro TT guy; never thought I'd see the words TT and fired in the same consideration.

JH is the extreme pro-TT guy. I support TT, but will hold his nuts to the fire if I feel it is warranted, and in that case it absolutely would.

Thanks for clarifying that actually, im with B, i thought you were attached at the hip to TT

A-Rod is not Steve Young.

Well Steve Young wasn't Steve Young either, until after he took over and established himself.

Not true. Like Favre, Steve Young was a young, talented back-up that a team traded for. A-Rod is "lottery" pick leftovers.

It isn't enough that you are stupid, but now you have to be factually wrong?

Young played seasons in the USFL.

YOung played 2 years with the Bucs...and couldn't even start all the games for a club that went 4 and 28 in his years there. Young was 3-16, 11 TDs and 21 interceptions..with fewer than 55% completion rate.

He was traded because he was viewed as BUST. You draft Testaverde cause you think you have a young and talented player.

He was 26/27 when he came to the Niners..hardly young and didn't really play until he was THIRTY.

That if is not enough. If the Packers do not obtain equal or greater success he should be. He is taking a HUGE risk making his bed with A-Rod instead of Favre. What a poor decision.

Sports radio in WI is saying Minny is offering a trade and would sign Brett for 2 years.

No way in hell should/could TT make this move.

You go from PR nightmare to angry drunken mob of Packer fans. Pitchforks, looting cars - the whole 9 yards.

[Bretsky]

Someone tell Bretsky that Odell Thurman is wanted by the police again. Only after he laughs at himself for rooting for an Odell Packer draft pick can you tell him about Favre. He deserves to go out remembering how to laugh.

Profanity was heard at the bank today when a customer walked into my office, noted the Packer Pic and the Favre pick, chuckled, and told me it's pretty official that Favre wants back, GB does not want him, and Favre asked for his release.

BRING BACK ODELL, and BRING BACK FAVRE

That sounds like made up BS in order to get listeners.

[Freak Out]

Is the Jay Glazer story about #4 un-retiring once before this offseason only to tell TT and M3 a few days later he had changed his mind again true? Did I miss this sometime earlier? According to the guy they had welcomed him back and had said they would sit Rodgers another year but after he called back they went ahead and drafted Brohm and Flynn.

Shouldn't that be FREE ODELL?

Basically the gist was they were ready to welcome Favre back then two days later Favre called to say he was retiring. SO, the Packers moved on and drafted 2 QB's.

Yeah - and it works. Wonder what productivity in WI looks like right now... it's costing the entire state economy with this BS.

All I get in SoCal is - so what - he's old, blah blah blah. At this point, I'm sick of the whole thing, too.

Trade him to a southern, dome or warm weather AFC team and get on with life. He'll have a Reggie White like-year and tarnish his post Packer life image. Too bad for him - but I'd wish him the best and will still watch all his games (TiVO).

I guess my jokes are worse than I thought... not all 'breaking news' is created equal - and this was chaulked full of my own personal BS.

Thanks for the lulz then. I'm a little blown away by the news, I completely missed it.

I am seriously pessimistic about the season right now.
