OFFICIAL BRETT THE LIVING LEGEND THREAD

[pbmax]

Why you guys fucking with JustJeff? Just cuz he disagrees with you bitches? WTF is his skin dark that you treat him so?

Its the guy with space in his name we are having trouble understanding.

[MadtownPacker]

All these posters are from your head, aren't they Mad?

I have wondered that myself sometimes.

[Just Jeff]

OK, I'll fess up. I met tank at a Cabrito roast in Nuevo Vallarta. I hated our former QB and I had strong feelings for Ted. After drinking shots of tequila, in the colors of the Mexican flag, I lost track of almost 6 months time. When I can to my senses (albeit limited) Farve was on the Vikings and my predilections had changed. For that I am sorry. My sexual compass had been distorted too, and I placed fatheads of Favre in many inapropriate places. I can't explain my epiphany and during lucid moments, I can see my confusion and the fact that the Favre haters are correct and that I'm wrong. I travel to the same place in Mexico, each year, it the hopes of finding my way back from my delusional journey. But unlike Josh Baskin, I have not found my Zoltar and it pains me daily.

Man, this one is confusing.

I can usually spot Tanky by his familiar stench, but my nostrils are a little clogged on this deal.

Baby laxative goes bad?

This one's got me faked out.

When they went Just Space Jeff, then Just no space Jeff, I was like Jarrett Bush on a double move.

Faked out.

God forbid someone show up with a nick like Lowenbraü, you'd never be sure if you were reading my insightful posts, or the rantings of some drooling mouth breather.

I just realized something: this thread is why the Romper Room is dead!

I cannot THINK of a better episode to illustrator ALL the facets of Brett Favre's public persona (and his ability to distract you from one while focusing on the others) than this latest kerfuffle over letting your son play football. Don't get distracted by the media pissing contest, come back for that fun. The real gem is at the end.

First, Brett reiterates that he would not allow his son to play football, a position he somewhat more tentatively revealed in November.

Florio thinks Favre isn't qualified to give an opinion because his kids are girls.

Deadspin points out the obvious, that perhaps being a parent and therefore being aware of incremental risks of childhood (biking, learning to drive, soccer, lightning) in addition to 20+ years actual experience playing football might just give Brett the bona fides that Florio believes he lacks. Yet this takedown doesn't even begin to touch upon the more delectable hypocrisy of Florio. He believes only parents of boys should weigh in on the matter because outsiders to the strange world of boys (like Favre) will only encourage helicopter moms to prevent sons from playing football. Of course, when Florio says only the boy's parents should weigh in, he is really talking about just Dad.

However, everyone reporting this as a Florio stupidity (and before it was Florio stupidity it was Michael David Smith stupidity, oddly Florio had fewer qualms in his own take on the first November story) is completely missing the point. Favre has indeed doubled down on the position that he would not allow his sons to play football because of the risks. But he is also endorsing a new drug from a pharma company that is trying to get FDA approval to conduct clinical trials of a new concussion treatment. That is how you have your cake and eat it too my friends.

He is on the Sports Advisory Board for Prevacus, the maker of the drug seeking FDA approval. Whether he is compensated for that position isn't mentioned, but it would complete the circle of Favre mania.

who cares what he thinks about kids playing football. i wish people would stop asking him shit. as for coming back and getting the number retired...i think he could care less whether it happens or not. i think the Packers, and/or the nfl, are driving this bus.

[Joemailman]

I do find it rather odd that Florio would say that a player who had at least one concussion, and who may be dealing with related symptoms, is not qualified to say whether he would let a son play football.

[KYPack]

Good call!

It appears Favre is not "ready" so there'll be no retiring of his number this year. And that's fine - I ain't ready, either.

But wouldn't it be cool if Favre had a press conference next year, saying he was ready to have his number retired...then changed his mind at the beginning of training camp, then hinted he maybe wanted to have his number retired after all, then about the second game of the season..

I meant to comment on this one when it was posted. I'm not quite "there" on BLF yet, either.

But I'm a helluva a lot closer than I was in 09.

A lot of what Brett did was in keeping with his Huck Finn persona, but he still pulled some bad, petty bullshit.

That said you can't deny his greatness and accomplishments he made for the GBP.

I think the announcement of the jersey/number retirement was a political move in keeping with keeping Favre retired.

I say Ring of Honor, GBPHOF, & NFL HOF are enuff.

But I didn't think Reggie's number should have been retired, either.

There is a lifetime and forever Packer requirement for number retirement and I don't think big Reg or 4 met that criteria.

The thing is we know what Favre did, he never tried to hide it. We will never know all shit that TT and the Packer's pulled, and we never will. It's pretty damn easy to have a bad opinion of Brett when he's the only one that is telling most of the story, I'm sure there are things he leaves out. TT just doesn't have a good track record of being overly honest with fans, whether it be injuries, free agency, etc...
