OFFICIAL BRETT THE LIVING LEGEND THREAD

SAD!

My dad is experiencing dementia. I had "debate" with pals about whats the best form of malady to suffer from; one of a mental nature or physical nature..for me its a no-brainer (pun intended). I would hate to not be able to wash myself but there would be more angst if I couldn't hold a convo because of a cognitive disability. Its a close one though b/c physical could mean no sex or maybe loss of vision and sense of taste!!!

Thoughts??!!

And question: why do people on this site call Favre bert or some other dismissive name?

I think I'd rather have the physical go out over the mental--assuming you mean when I'm much older. Bert stems from the "We'll never forget you, Bert" quotes/shirts that came out when Favre signed with Minnesota.

i'd rather be nuts

people that lose their minds rarely remember that they have lost their minds

being broke down physically means you have to sit there and suffer until you get put out of your misery

I agree. I figure if I had to pick between physical and mental, I'd like to be blissfully unaware rather than crippled. And if I'm instead an asshole with Alzheimer's, whatever, I won't know enough to know I'm being an asshole.

nope, and i don't care

true story. my great grandmother was in the old folks home because she had lost it. my mom and grandmother go to visit her one day. my great grandmother is go on and on about all the crazy people around the place and how just a little while ago some crazy woman was running up and down the halls butt naked with everyone in the hospital chasing after her. hooping and hollering and making all kinds of ungodly noises.

the doctors came in and pull my mother and grandmother out in the hall and let them know that they had a rather unpleasant incident with my great grandmother right before they arrived and they had just finally got her clothed and back in to bed again

yeah, i could do that

Maybe Favre will say he doesn't remember having ever played for the Vikings.

maybe he'll blame the whole vikings episode on concussions

why else would anyone willing go there to play?

They could be brainwashed. Or Minneapolis could have more than one Applebee's. Or they could think the Vikings have a better placekick holder.

Man, was this the wrong thread to mis-post to.

Man..I was the biggest Favre fan growing up..seeing all his games..the successes and failures. It took Snake a bit to come to grips with ARod as the starter but man that dude is the man..and I couldn't be happier. It's sad to see Favre look like this:



As he looks like this:



But really has acted like Hulk Hogan being out the spotlight for so long and needing media attention:
