OFFICIAL BRETT THE LIVING LEGEND THREAD

Someone just shop the photo and post it in the GC! I wanna see what you guys come up with.

When they do those half-time shows with the dog that catches the frisbees, I think they should have the dog wear #4.

I've always wanted to get a Bulldog, name him Gilbert and throw a #93 jersey on him on gameday. Alas, my wife is allergic

Too bad. That ... would ... be ... AWESOME!

The rest of the plan was to get him a solid, clear glass water bowl with the Miller logo proudly displayed on the side.

If Favre shows up in Lambeau for the hated Vikings again, they should run a montage of all his playoff killing INTs on the 'jumbotron' - over and over and over again.

I'm sure that would make some fans feel happy, but it would make the Packer organization look mean, spiteful and kinda weak. No way would a team with all that pride and history want to put themselves out there that way.

I'd just be happy if it helped the Packers win.

The packers are generally considered a class act organization. Winning because we humiliated a player "off the field" (which it would be, using film of a previous game publicly) would make us look like whining babies to the league. If you want to win that way, more power to you. I would like to beat them when they are at their best. Not because we demoralized their starting QB without even playing him.

Sorry, I actually prefer us to remain a class organization, not like the eagles who even throw snowballs at Santa Clause.

I am opposed to throwing snowballs at Santa. I'd be OK if we whipped a few at Favre. Maybe with some twigs and gravel in 'em. Unfortunately, the NFL has seen to it that that will not happen in the regular season.

Hope that's sarcasm. He's just a guy playing a game. No need to get hostile with him.

It's just sarcasm! Right now, Favre is the opposing QB playing for the hated Vikings, Can't love the guy again until he retires - for good.

I had braces as an adult in the early 90's. It sucked then too.

We're really not that different. . . .

Me and you. . .

I'm cuter. And more stable.

Childress, Favre texting, not talking

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) -- Vikings coach Brad Childress says he doesn't have an update from Brett Favre about his playing status for next season, or a possible surgery on his injured left ankle.
Childress was asked by reporters for the latest word on Favre following practice on Wednesday. The Minnesota coach said he hasn't spoken with the 40-year-old quarterback recently.
Childress says he has exchanged text messages with Favre during the offseason, but insisted that "texting is not talking."
Last month, Favre issued a statement on his personal website about the injury. He said his condition "is not debilitating" and that surgery is only one factor in his decision whether to play.

I'll agree with the latter, but I'm one good looking dude sizzle

I hope not. I can't imagine anything worse than conversing via text.

This is all horse hockey. We all know His Highness is coming back. He's just waiting so he can skip most of TC.

My money says he's coming back, too.

What I don't understand is the need to draw this out; Chilly and the players have already given the guy a blank check to miss OTA's and camp. He proved last year he can just turn up a week before the season begins and perform at MVP levels (except the NFCC game).

The Vikings have all conceded that at his age, he doesn't need to waste precious energy doing drills.

I don't think a team could do anymore to appease His Lordship.

If you ask me, one text message exchange was "See you in late September". This will he or won't he is a farce designed to keep the paying purple fans on the edge of their seats.

It's a bit like hitting one's thumb with a hammer: It feels so good when it stops hurting!

[Joemailman]

This situation works for Chilly. Favre isn't going to take part in any off-season stuff. If he announced early that he is coming back, Chilly might have to answer questions about why he has one set of rules for Favre, and another for everyone else. I suspect Chilly is in no hurry to have Favre announce a decision.

[mraynrand]

He proved last year he can just turn up a week before the season begins and perform at MVP levels (except the NFCC game).

I would argue that he played extremely well in the NFCC game as well. He just blew it on the last pass. Like against Dallas in the '95 NFCC game (unforced INT to Larry Brown) and of course the 2007 NFCC game. When it happens again this year, I hope it's in Lambeau.
