....... the Vikings quarterback tells USA TODAY. "I mean, my heart ... it was broken."

One of the all time greatest moments in sports.

Are you being sarcastic Scott?

A trend I notice in this thread. . .

It will go several days without a post, then Gex, Mobb or Woody will make a post (mostly about nothing, basically just a bump) and we get a few more Favre posts. . . .


I think we're getting to the point where this guy has just died to the majority of Packer fans. It's approaching apathy.

I'd be curious how few posts we'd see if the Favre faithful stopped bumping it. I would guess this thread would just disappear.

Well until he is back in camp and playing football, or fully retired for good, there isn't a whole lot to talk about, outside of a COMPLETE overreaction by the media over a text message.

Of course, they overreact about everything with Favre. Is the summer really that bad for sports media?

[Scott Campbell]

If the Deadspin story can be proved, I predict it'll be abandon ship time for the remaining handful of Favre supporters. It's way too creepy to defend.

I think most Packer fans feel the same way about the carnage. Look at all the broken hearts. None of these distraught tortured souls are Packer fans.

So yes, I think it was one of the all time greatest moments in sports. And much like Bill Buckner costing the Red Sox a World Series, Favre's choke will be remembered forever. Especially Paul Allen crying out "THIS IS NOT DETROIT MAN, THIS IS THE SUPERBOWL!"

I'll take you up on that bet. I think you underestimate the Favre fans.

It's so incredibly creepy, that defending him translates to a referendum on creepy behavior. I think most people will draw the line, and won't condone that kind of creepiness in the workplace - or anywhere for that matter. But I think it'll be hard for the story to be proven. And that's their out.

On a related note, I think Harlan moves back into the Favre camp specifically because of this.

While I agree that it would be nearly impossible to defend, I also know plenty of Tiger fanatics who defended him even as more strippers and pornstars came out with their stories.

"The sun was in his eyes. He thought he was sending the pic to Deanna but couldn't see and sent it to Sterger on accident"

Voila!!

[Scott Campbell]

I'm not entirely sure that Deanna would appreciate getting texted a picture of lil Lorenzo.

[Bossman641]

I'm not entirely sure that Deanna would appreciate getting texted a picture of lil Lorenzo.

Come on, Favre is just a kid out there. He's trying to keep the sparks alive with Deanna. You'd think somebody with 7 wives could relate.

[Scott Campbell]

At least Bert can take comfort that the scandal hasn't seemed to affect Tiger's game.

[mraynrand]

I'm not entirely sure that Deanna would appreciate getting texted a picture of lil Lorenzo.

The subtle artistry of sexting is all in the positioning.

Eh, that all depends. I mean, certainly PACKER fans will remember it forever, but the general NFL audience and the rest of hte world? I mean, are people outside of packer land even mentioning his int in 2007 NFC Championship game? Give it a few seasons and no one is going to talk aobut that pick, especially if he comes back.

And if he somehow gets a ring, THAT will go down as one of the best moments in sports history, at least for the sports media, since Favre desparately wants a John Elway type leave from the NFL, and if he plays well at 41 and gets a second ring, it would shut a lot of pundents up, and may be a reminder just how hard getting a ring really is.


That being said, sure some fans are still bickering over that pick, but once #4 steps on the field week one, it's all gravy and no one but sour packer fans are going to be talking about it.

Joe Montegna - wasn't he an actor?

I think so, and somebody killed his father!
