OFFICIAL BRETT THE LIVING LEGEND THREAD

I gota feeling bretts fat tail may look bad tonight

cant blieve its on national tv!

Bert's not fat. He's gained 11 lbs of muscle in 5 months and lost fat. I'm 29 years old. Best I've done is to gain 10 lbs in a year working out 6 hours a week pretty hard. The guy is a 41 year old contradiction. Well, I guess Bonds and others have done similar things late in their careers recently so it is becoming the norm. Still, he is not fat. From the sound of it, he's in the best shape maybe of his life, at least the last several years. Good for him, to make those types of gains when most people are losing it. Not eating junk food and drinking water does wonders.

From the sound of it, it sounds like he is a shredded machine.

Roids is possible, or HGH or whatever. I can't dismiss that it's a possibilitiy, especially with how well his body has kept it together over all these years.

But, unlike so many other people that roid it up, his body has looked the same from pretty much 20 years in the NFL. He may have gained 11lbs of muscle this offseason, but that's not entirely impossible.

Dunno, it is possible, though I doubt it is anything against the policies in the NFL. After all, getting caught with that stuff wrecks his whole career.

[RashanGary]

And really, is there a better position in all of sports to do steroids late in a career than QB?

It's a position where experience is paramount. If you can keep your 20's physical ability into your early 40's and have 20 years of NFL experience under your belt. Favre has been in the NFL for as long as the youngest NFL players have been alive. And now he's gaining 11 lbs in 5 months while also trimming fat. The guy is going to be an animal. . . . .

Yeah, the only way this guy fades is if he gets injured. He's going to be a bad ass. I have a feeling.

Notice how he's mysteriously on a group of medications for this nasty cold? Inclduded in those medications, "steroids". . . .

Gains 11 lbs, cuts fat. It's hard for anyone to gain like that, but to gain and cut fat. . . That's very hard to do in that short amount of time at any age. And how much could he have changed his routine. Was he just don't nothing hsi whole career and now he decided to start working out so he gained that type of muscle?


I expect Favre to have an amazing year. I don't think we should expect any drop off. In fact, I expect gains in his physical ability just listening to the shape he's in.

LOL this is some area 51 conspiracy theory stuff... I kinda like it...

11 lbs of muscle in 5 months, mysteriously on a steroid medication for a cold. Look at the era we're in.

This isn't area 51. You'd be putting your head in the sand if you didn't think it was very possible.

11 lbs of muscle in 5 months I would say could come naturally... I'm only 21 though - at age 40... I do find that a little hard... I would just find it hard to believe that he would risk his whole legacy if he ever got caught taking roids... but you never know...

What makes it more amazing is if you're a couch potato and start lifting, your body has a ton of room to grow. Favre has always worked out. What can he be doing so different to get in that kind of shape. He looks in good shape. Looks like a 25 year old.

[packers11]

how was that not a fumble? If that was A-rod he would have got crushed the ball comes out - returned for td... am I wrong?

[RashanGary]

Brett is good for football though. He's a marked man. People want to kill this guy and I love watching it. I hope at some time this year he gets his 41 year old steroid injected body caved in, haha.

[red]

well, that was almost worth it

glad i sat through the pregame and listened to all chris collinsworth bull shit for 4 plays

There was debate on if A-Rod's was a fumble too, however, the ball never touched the ground, so the result would of been the same, just as an int instead of a fumble.

So... how was it not a fumble? Favre is laying on his back. Chances are the ball popped out when he hit the ground, which by rule, is not a fumble, because the ground can't cause a fumble.

A-Rod, last year, was still standing when the ball came out.


Come on, can you really be that cynical towards favre?


As for the roids, like I said, I don't think he would be doing anything AGAINST the drug policy. He may very well have taken roids (wouldn't surprise me if he took some after his surgery too), but if it all fits under the rulebook, there isn't much to say about it. I am sure he took roids for his surgery to help recover (which is a common process for many surgeries) and if he was taking some for a severe cold, then so be it. If it all fits under the rulebook and he isn't continually roiding all season long (IE Brian Cushing) than he'll be fine.

His body does look as good as it did in his mid twenties, but his body has simply always looked this good. I mean, Al Harris still looks amazing too, just like he did in his early twenties. It's possible to stay in the same shape by sticking to your routine.

As for the sudden gain in muscle, I am sure the roids had SOMETHING to do with it, but really, I think this all fit under the policy.

[RashanGary]

Tavaris looks better too. So does Alex Smith for that matter. A lot of teams play to stop the run in the preseason and play vanilla defense. Rodgers, Smith, Tavaris. I'm sure none of them are as good as they look. Rodgers can be not as good as he looks and still be the MVP though. He's looked amazing.

The steroids you take for a cold...or more specifically, a lung infection are nothing like anabolic steroids, and they are more likely to make you retain water than build muscle.

Former Almost-Packer LaVar Arrington tweets:

LaVar Arrington[/url]]They will be coming after favre it will be unbelievable to me if he makes it through the season

.

I guess this makes sense, I mean... why not? If you let him stand there, he's going to throw completions. Why not see if you can hit the old man so he plays like he doesn't want to get hit anymore? I'm pretty sure he's not going to get up, start jawing with Warren Sapp, and throw touchdowns to Antonio Freeman.
