OFFICIAL BRETT THE LIVING LEGEND THREAD

[Tarlam!]

When I think about Favre, I think about the 200 dollars I shelled out for a jersey that I would like to urinate on. He's a fascinating figure to me, 'cause of the cock sucking media attention he receives, despite his obvious character flaws. They say love and hate are only seperated by a very fine line, I must have loved him passionately in the past, because the very sight of him makes me want throw up today.

For Brady one stat stands out (TDs in a season) but mostly you think about the team accomplishments.

True, but Brady may be best remembered for all the supermodels.

And bad haircuts.

Favre and TO comparisons


- Both involved in crazy drama
- Both chalk it up to just wanting to win
- Both accumulated crazy stats over long careers
- Both played for 4 or more teams with at least one blow up departure
- Neither had crazy record breaking seasons
- Favre threw INT's, TO dropped balls
- Neither known as champions of their era
- Both had magnetic, larger than life personalities that attracted cameras and die hard fans

Both great players. Both have had great careers. Neither is even close to my favorite at their position.

On Favre's way out, I find it odd how unceremonial it has been. His streak is one of the greatest accomplishments in all of sports yet it gets a few lines of play and everyone moves on. Dan Marino, Elway, Montana. . . It was a big deal when they were done. Favre is almost forgotten if not for the record book.

Not really true. Favre's already taken over ESPN a handful of times with his annual retirements.

I think that may be because it's mostly reruns.

[Freak Out]

I thought Favre could start again this year? He's not on IR correct? Fuck....we NEED him to start against the Bears.

Peppers was one of the Bears defenders who found Favre after the game, to shake his hand and wish him well, and more actually. "I was happy Brett suited up," Peppers said. "I figured it might be the last time I got to see him across the field from me on the opposing sideline. Yeah, I talked to him after the game. I told him it was an honor to play against him. He said, 'Likewise. … Go beat the Packers in a couple of weeks.'"

What a dick.

Here he is, getting more of what he deserves. It's nice of Urlacher to pay his last respects like this:

Another Classic, classy move from Favre in preseason.
