OFFICIAL BRETT THE LIVING LEGEND THREAD

[Patler]

I saw this on another forum:

JIM SOUHAN, Star Tribune

...

That may be the most accurate, most complete description of Favre that I have ever read. Souhan wrote many great, great statements pointing out the contradictions that make up Brett Favre, but this is perhaps the one that sums it up the best:

He is the toughest man in the annals of a brutal sport -- ... -- and the most emotionally needy player ever to don a helmet.

Favre giveth, and Favre throweth away.

This should be his NFL epitaph

Thanks for posting that Pugger. The walking dichotomy that is Brett Favre demonstrates what is bothersome about him. On the field, yeah he's made a lot of great and bonehead plays. More great than bonehead overall and his longevity alone is nothing short of amazing. His undeniable on-the-field contributions are forever embedded in Packer lore and noone can take that history away. That's not bothersome.

But the duplicitousness by which he's lived his personal life demonstrates his insincerity, which I can't respect. His inconsistency as a person means to me that in the end, Brett Favre cares only about Brett Favre.

Because it never gets old.

I didn't understand this, however: "He was the reason the Vikings were
able
to come within one of Favre's startlingly amateurish interceptions of
doing what had never been done before in 50 years of Vikings history..."

Doesn't this writer know that the Vikes have gone to the Super Bowl and lost already? Nothing new there!

He stated earlier in the piece that he believed that had the Vikings made the SB, they'd have won.

I've heard that story before.

This is like giving a case of wild turkey as a parting gift for a someone coming out of rehab. I watched this video so many times last year, my family almost had to do an intervention.

I notice Brett's not playing today. Just an observation that I rather enjoy so thought I'd share.

Brett who?

[RashanGary]

And the Packers just set an NFL viewership record for a wild card playoff game. Yeah, we sure dropped off the face of the NFL like the Favre crank lickers said we would.

This one has been edited not to be addictive. Trust me.

Brett Swain is inactive? Damn. I wanted to see some 5 wide sets today.

Oh Brett, you just died in my arms tonight
It must've been something you said
Brett just died in my arms tonight

Oh Brett, you just died in my arms tonight
It must been some kind of kiss
you should`ve walked away, you should've walked away
