QFTOriginally posted by MJZiggyNot sure I buy it. I think he was more willing to trade because Wolf came calling and he could get a first for a player he'd buried on his depth chart. Atlanta knew Wolf wanted Favre bad and I'm sure they thought he'd bust. Hell when he first got to GB, Holmgren probably thought the same thing from what I've read.Originally posted by Brandon494Jerry Glanville: I Traded Favre to Help Sober Him Up
Strong words"I had to get him out of Atlanta. . . . I could not sober him up," Glanville said. "I sent him to a city where at 9:00 at night the only thing that's open is Chili Joes. You can get it two ways, with or without onions. And that's what made Brett Favre make a comeback was going to a town that closed down. If I would have traded him to New York, nobody to this day would have known who Brett Favre ever was."They said God has a Tim Tebow complex!

I'm enjoying that it appears everyone has finally gotten the hang of the Brett off season routine. We all know he's coming back, he knows he's coming back, but he doesn't wanna do the offseason stuff. So he says he's not sure if he's coming back, he skips all the stuff he doesn't want to do, then throws to some high school kids and then shows up when he feels like it.
Now that the routine is down pat, the writers seem to spend less time wondering what he's gonna do - they all know!"The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

That's what we all think. Favre hasn't been in the spotlight much at all this off season. He's gonna do something different to shake that up, I just have no idea what.Originally posted by FritzComment

Eh I doubt it. To be fair, it's not really his fault that he is in the spotlight so much as it is: He is/was a hell of a player at the hardest position to play in all of football. What is it now, 5 NFC title games, 2 super bowls, 1 super bowl win, and tops in every stat in the record book. You take a guy like that, at the end of his career where it is hard to let go of the game... people are going to always be all over him. I mean, last season, season prior, was it really his fault we were getting reports about him mowing his lawn and looking happy? It's not like he asked the media to be waiting outside his home and scoping everything he did.Originally posted by channtheman
Just wait until it happens to Brady, or Manning... it's going to be the same thing. Maybe team switching doesn't go on, but when your close to the end it's ALWAYS hard to figure out what to do. And everyone treats favre like no one else has done this before. If people payed more attention, plenty of players at other positions waffle all the time, they retire, they unretire, they get cut because they unretired, they get traded, etc etc. Derrick Mason just did this last year. He retired, then unretired. The difference was that the ravens had no WR's, so they weren't about to kick Mason to the curb.
The reason no one gets up in arms about it is because none of these players play at the QB position. Add onto the fact it was OUR QB, and it just hits home more.
Still, I never really blamed favre for all the attention his situation has continually got. Outside of the debacle in GB, which if GB and Favre were ever going to cut ties it was going to be ugly (just like manning and the colts ever cutting ties would be), favre wasn't making all these appearances or constantly talking to the media. Everything was always "rumors".
Also if history says anything, it's hard to walk away when you just played, statistically, the best season of your entire career. Where your team outplayed the team that won the SB, but collectively turned it over too many times to overcome. Everything points to him coming back, unless there are long term effects of the pounding he took.
I think at this point it's clear he comes back. I think the only time he finally wont is a serious injury or a really bad season by him personally, something at least on par with the second half of the season he had with the jets.Comment

Yeah, I mean who could blame Bert for his interview with Greta Van Susteren, or all those text messages to Mort. Or those comments on Letterman. Or his Brother Scott. Or his mother Bonita. Or his agent Bus. Or Matt Millen. None of that stuff was his fault.Comment

And in almost every instance, it started because they reached out to him first, and he simply responded.Originally posted by Scott CampbellComment

I'd bet Favre's agent initiated some of the stuff...such as the Greta interview.
Jim Miller on NFL Network noted yesterday how the Eagles were appreciative and cosiderate of putting McNabb where he wanted to go. He went a step further and noted that was the exact opposite of how Green Bay dealt with Favre. Of course it got a few fans outraged; but it was interesting to know that somebody else was pondering this besides me.TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD.

I'm sure Philly wasn't too concerned with McNabb going to the Skins. Washington isn't one QB away from being a contender like MN was in 2008. Once McNabb knew the Eagles were shopping him around he didn't go on national TV and throw his team under the bus like #4 did. Last night Greta was interviewing Jon Runyun, a former NFL linemen who played for the Eagles and is now running for congress in NJ. She asked him about the similarities between #4 playing for a divisional rival and McNabb going to the Skins and he said McNabb wasn't retiring and unretiring left and right. Greta quickly ended the interview...Originally posted by Bretsky

I suppose the Eagles were appreciative of Donovan not demanding his unconditional release, and not making a complete spectacle of himself. Thankfully Donovan behaved the exact opposite of Favre. Why wouldn't he be treated differently.Comment

Report: Favre will soon be a grandpa
Posted by Mike Florio on April 6, 2010 8:27 AM ET
With a head and a beard full of gray hair, quarterback Brett Favre already looks like a grandpa. Soon, he reportedly will be one.
Larry Fitzgerald, Sr. of the Minnesota Spokesman-Recorder recently reported (via Jeff Ash of the Green Bay Press-Gazette) that Favre's oldest daughter, Brittany, is soon expected to give birth to a child.
Favre, who was 19 when his daughter was born, apparently would be the first grandfather to play in the NFL, if he returns for the 2010 season.Comment
