OFFICIAL BRETT THE LIVING LEGEND THREAD

[Joemailman]

The only think that might give Favre second thoughts about returning would be if Chilly wants him to attend the OTA's. That won't happen. He'll be back in July, I suspect.

[swede]

Favre seems really comfortable with an organization that allows him to play by a different set of rules. Not many clubs allow that, but if both sides are happy it's good.

I look forward to playing the Vikes again.

If he plays, and if the Saints can again apply the same kind of pressure and pain, how long will Chilly go before he trys to use the big hook?Supposedly Chilly tried to pull him in a game last year for fear of injury, but Bert wouldn't come out. I know many believed Bert wouldn't have been able to play the week after the NFC title game. Now if he were to go down in the first game, the Queens could be in for a very disapointing season.

Didn't the saints lose like 8 players or something from last years team? It may not be the same "qb thrashing" defense it was last year.

Yes, but I was not the only one last season talking big about how we'd never get a chance to play him because he would have been injured before we got a shot at him. We were wrong. I was wrong about Favre. He continues to be one tough bird on the field.

Up until the end that was so disappointing for Vikings fans he showed great mental and physical toughness.

I think (hope) this is the right thread for this. If not, then I shall apologize in advance.

Am I the only one who wonders if having to open against the same New Orleans Saints who beat the everliving crap out of him in his last game, will give Bert pause and disrupt his thoughts on if and when he should return to the Queens?

I hope the Saints finish the job on him this time.

I would say +1, except I'd like to see the Packers kick his butt twice this year.

Is Bert done?

That pick would be a horrific way for him to go out. I LIKE IT!

"Brett Favre is saying publicly that he hasn't made up his mind about whether he'll play in 2010. But he reportedly told another player privately that he's finished playing."

Sounds to me like definitive proof that he is coming back. The only question is, will he stage a retirement before he announces his return?

[Fritz]

He's thinking about it.

[Patler]

Dang, when you get old your mind plays tricks on you. I could have sworn he retired a couple years ago. Tears-filled press conference and everything.

Must be time for me to get more of that kinky-baloney brain stimulator stuff, or whatever it s called!

I wonder if old Bert wakes up in a sweat occasionally and dreams he retired. Maybe he thinks he never actually did.

[Pugger]

I don't think he ever did really retire. I suspect he asked TT for his release or trade him after that teary PC and TT declined believing the motive behind this request was to join MN. I'd wager this is the true reason for the bitter divorce and why #4 went on Greta's show. After TT traded His Highness to NY and after the 2008 season BF faked another retirement. He waited until Sanchez was drafted before he asked for his release and NY gave it to him. I say faked because a retired player does not ask for his release.

Please watch that press conference. No offense...but you'd have to be blind and deaf to not know he retired. He said he has nothing left to give and he's retiring from the Green Bay Packers and the National Football League. He didn't say I want out of Green Bay or I want released. He retired...or lied to the fans.
