OFFICIAL BRETT THE LIVING LEGEND THREAD

[channtheman]

Yep. Mike Sherman's finest moment.

I think I remember hearing a "Fuck you" from Shermy that the network was unable to bleep. Was really something to see Sherman go after Sapp like that though.

[vince]

That was not one of Favre's stellar performances. He had 4 picks in the loss.

Green Bay head coach Mike Sherman angrily confronted Tampa Bay's Warren Sapp after the Packers' 21-7 loss to the Buccaneers Sunday, complaining that the All-Pro defensive tackle knocked one of his players out of the game with a cheap shot.

Sapp denied the accusation and said he was stunned Sherman came up to him and initiated an obscenity-laced exchange after the player finished a television interview on the field.

"He cursed at me. He said something to set me off," Sapp said, declining to say what Sherman said.

I still get a kick out of Sapp's disbelief in being confronted by Sugar Bear.

I have the tape:

Sherman: "What you did was wrong." That pretty much sums it up. To ad insult to injury, the hit came following an INT on a 'crossing route' by Terry Glenn, that he turned upfield at the last second, resulting in a pick. That one wasn't on Favre, it was on Terry "I get injured every time I'm tackled" Glenn.

Sapp is a sap. I can't stand him on NFLN either. :P

[Fritz]

Shermy stood tall that day.

I see your points about Shermy sticking up for his player and all, but he came off as a purse-swinger to me and I felt a little embarrassed for him.

"Chicken shit" was the only profane utterance I remember from him. I thought it was Sapp that dropped the F bomb.

Why Michael Irvin and Warren Sapp have broadcast careers I do not know. Drag a crack rock through any East St. Louis neighborhood and you're sure to find a couple of candidates with similar skills in the areas of elocution and charm.

I agree. That's why I called it pathetic. Sherman looked pathetic, and it was pathetic that he was the only one to go after Sapp. Other Packers should have kicked his ass during the game, Favre leading the way. Maybe they were he chicken shits and Shermy was just projecting.

I disagree with Sherman looking pathetic. That was my favorite MS moment.

I started a fight like this last time and I regretted it then and I don't want to mess up this celebration of all things Brent with another squabble.

I say he looked like a big, soft sissy saying really bad words to show that bad man that he was really cheesed off, goll stinking dammit!

You say he stood up to a bully and showed some moxie in support of the team and his injured player.

I can dig that.

I looked for the video on You Tube and couldn't find it. I'd be interested in seeing if my opinion would change with another fresh look at the "Mike Sherman yells at Warren Sapp" moment.[/url]

I'll upload it in a little while. What bothered me the most is that Shermy had to do it. Once Packer players figured out what Sapp had done, they should have taken his knees out at the very next play on offense. Favre was a pussy for not going after his 'buddy.' Fuck 'em all.

I remember the Packers OL coach (Lovat?) saying that they were not cut-blocking Sapp before that play because he was having such a great year, but that after the cheap shot they would start cutting. That was the extent of any talk of retaliation. Wahle was asked about it after the game and said he didn't want to retaliate when the outcome of the game was still in doubt.

I have the video of Shermy, but there is no sound. I might make a youtube of that fat-lipped asshat Sapp talking after the game. What a tool.

Favre Doesn’t Sound Like He’s Retiring
Posted by Mike Vandermause June 24th, 2010, 4:49 pm
I have maintained for some time now that Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre will return to play a 20th NFL season.
It’s not a matter of if the 40-year-old Favre decides to return, but when he makes that decision.
This morning Favre sounded like a man who had no intention of retiring.
During an interview with Mississippi newspaper sports reporter Al Jones, who works for the Sun Herald, Favre said: ‘‘I would love to go beat the Saints. I know I can still play at a high level. Last year was a great year, but it could have been better (winning NFC Championship).’’
The Vikings play the Saints in their regular-season opener in a rematch of last year’s NFC title game. In that contest, with the Vikings in position to kick a last-second, game-winning field goal, Favre threw a fateful interception and the Saints won in overtime.
The Sun Herald also reports Favre is healing on schedule from surgery on his left ankle, and bicycling is part of his rehabilitation regimen.
Favre’s agent, Bus Cook, was asked by The Associated Press if his clilent has made a decision on playing. His reply? “Nope.” The Vikings declined comment.
Favre isn’t ready to say it. His agent isn’t ready to say it. The Vikings aren’t ready to say it. So I’ll say it. Favre will return to play in 2010.
Favre’s former team, the Green Bay Packers, play host to the Vikings on Sunday night, Oct. 24, and face Minnesota again on Nov. 21 at the Metrodome in Minneapolis.

[Fritz]

Is there anyone out there who actually thinks Favre is even contemplating retirement?
