OFFICIAL BRETT THE LIVING LEGEND THREAD

[vince]

...all these remarks to the press just lacks class.

Touche.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Ahhh, no more or less class than is exhibited in this thread regularly by people on BOTH sides of the Favre argument. Shall I name names?

I get a kick out of how people keep trying to define themselves as being "above the fray." GBrulz, you are very much in the fray. Vince, probably you too. Everybody who is reading this is in the fray. Its just a continuing food fight, celebrity gossip.

Ya, it kinda sucks that this assistant coach or trainer or whoever is speaking his mind. But that's what everybody is doing. Taking shots at people they disagree with, directly or slyly, and trying to position themselves as being on the side of truth and decency.

[Lurker64]

The thing I'm wondering about, is in the accounting of "lacks class" who's ahead? The Favre camp or the anti-Favre camp? Certainly, Favre has demonstrated a lack of class in comments to the media in the past (e.g. going on Greta, calling out Javon Walker, having his relatives speak for him to the media), and certainly some of the comments that have come from the Jets coaches and players have lacked class, but karma's a bitch as they say. So, I'm just wondering at what point Brett receives more classless comments than he's received. Should we start feeling sorry for Favre yet?

Farve basher makes news......so glad he's getting his 15 min.
Gotta wonder what was Atlas thinking when they were 8-3.
The Jets were lousy last year, and they were better this year.
Bitch, Bitch, Bitch................they were lucky they got him, they filled the seats and sold lots of jerseys...........there's some within the Jet org. that are laughing all the way to the bank.

Hmmm.
They have an outraged fan base, a fired head coach, a loss of team chemistry, a lost MVP-type-season quarterback (who came back to twist the knife right in their own house!), and a lost draft choice.

I;m not sure that's 'laughing' you hear.

Apparantly Favre is ready to retire. He said it's time for them to look in a different direction at QB.

Cranston does have some good points.

Outrage fueled by the media, coach who had alot to prove, and didn't, team chemistry was fine when they were winning..., and about that QB........what was his win-loss last year? The draft pick......you're right.

Outrage seems to be boiling from within.....where there is smoke there is likely fire.

Hauntingly familiar.

[sheepshead]

Deja Vu all over again.

Once again........where was the 'outrage' when they were winning?
There's no doubt that Favre should retire. But I also think there shouldn't be any doubt that he didn't win OR lose those game alone.

There wasn't any outrage when they were winning. Winning is a deodorant that covers all. Teams that are winning don't care what anyone else is doing. When they don't win and there are issue, they aren't covered up anymore, they fester.

There is, however, little doubt that a better performance by the Jets QB in any of the last few games would have probably put the Jets in the playoffs.

I mean, they lost to Seattle by 13-3 when their QB threw for 187 yards and 2 INTs, and they lost to San Francisco 24-14 when their QB threw for 137 yards and 3 INTs (one TD). Had they won both of those games, they probably would have won the division. One of the things that could have made them win those games was better performance by the QB (whether it was Favre playing better than he did, or somebody else who would have played better.)
