And The Saga Continues...

[The Shadow]

This is the truth unfortunately behind the man. Stuff like this (the "distance" Favre makes) has been reported for a few years out of GB. Favre lovers don't want to hear it, but it is the truth. Favre loved Sherman, because Sherman never held him accountable for his mistakes, when he really should have held him big time. It was the down fall of Ray Rhodes as well.

"Coach Killer"?

I had a feeling that was coming up...but I don't think he's a Coach Killer.

The downfall of Rhodes wasn't becuase of Not holding Favre accountable per se. Its that he held NOBODY accountable to the point that the supposed veteran leaders didn't feel the need to lead in the locker room.

agreed...I was just refering to the Favre side of things, my mistake.

Yea I go to a lot of the games, pretty big fan. I was excited about the Harrell pick beacause he was an absolute beast when healthy. However, what has carried over is the injuries. I'm pretty sure he missed time in high school, and I know he missed several games in college.

The fact is, a lot of the coaches for Tennessee remarked that Harrell was one of the best DT's ever to play for them. That's pretty high praise considering the company.

Edit: One thing I forgot, there was also a reason he wore #92 at Tennessee, no small honor.

Did I hear correctly that he was the first to wear #92 since White left?

Put this in the Favre section where it belongs.

Where is the FAvre section? I thought I was sitting in the upper deck. Hope we don't get into any unpleasant chanting wars, "Favre section sucks!"

ESPN is scrolling nasty remarks about Favre at the bottom of the screen during the News Years Day bowl games. Ridiculous - how are some tabloid remarks breaking news? I guess ESPN doesn't need Favre anymore and is turning against their old friend.

"While the Jets hoped to woo Bill Cowher with a boatload of money, the marriage appeared to be unlikely from the outset. Sources close to Cowher said he did not want to have Favre as his quarterback, and that he also wanted to bring in people he was familiar with to handle personnel. A source familiar with Cowher's thinking said before last night's decision came down that the former Steeler boss would have to receive assurances from the Jets that the 39-year-old Favre no longer was in the picture before agreeing to take control. "There's no way he's taking Brett Favre as his quarterback," said one person close to Cowher. -- NY Post "


Good responsible reporting........."a source familiar with Cowher's thinking".
May very well be true.....but for gosh sakes, sounds weird.

Looks like whoever is in charge of the bottom scroll will be recieveing a pink slip by the end of the day.

All you have to do is post the picture of the last play of the NFC Championship game and Jets fans will sadly shake their heads. I wonder if A-rod would've forced that pass, or hit the open safety valve for a good 10+.

As I dissected in the other thread with the picture, it is 100% impossible to tell what is going on as the momentum and continued rush from players after the ball was released changes what passing lanes were open.

Or throw it over his head....how could anyone know?

An offseason after Favre publicly and classlessly assassinted the character of Ted Thompson and James Campen in interviews heard around the world, these otherwise uncalled-for comments by a teammate are a fitting twist of irony here.

It's still hard for me to to believe the depths to which he stooped when he was no longer served the world on a plate.

I saw Favre in person a couple times, one game in particular Donald Lee was in the end zone frantically waving his arms because he was wide open, but Favre threw to Driver, who was double covered, and was picked off. WTF? I've seen him thread the needle into coverage many times too but he needs to read defenses better. I saw him in person too, he was pretty stuck up, he could put more effort into being friendly. He was dynamic and fun to watch, a first ballot HOF'er, but he should've stayed retired, he's uncoachable.

This is a good point. So, since I read Pacerrats all the time, I would say that I'm familiar with, say, Partial's thinking...so if I tell this whole board what Partial would think about any given subject, does that mean it's true??

I doubt Partial, or anyone would like that. This is just the media trying to pile on and make a story bigger. It's creating news. Sure, some Jets guys are P.O.'d at Favre, but now the NY media is trying to make it seem like everybody hates Brett Favre.

Ask about twenty or so teams in the NFL if they'd like to have Brett Favre next year. Pretty sure they'd say yes. And I bet the Queens are one of them.

[sheepshead]

I really think Brett just misses us.

[Fritz]

Sheep, I'm calling for Favre to be traded to the Vikings this offseason some time.

My big prediction.
