HE MADE PRO-BOWL A MERE 3 MONTHS AGO PEOPLE...

Now here's a shock...one of the most popular players of all time being voted by fans into the pro bowl. He must have been amazing last year...

[Deputy Nutz]

For the first time in his career he saw his play suffer because he broke down physically. The Jets came apart at the seams the last five games and Favre was part of that. He was terrible, his receivers were terrible, and the defense was terrible.

Favre said he would play as long as his body let him, last 5 games of last year he thought he could play through his right arm injury and willed himself out on that field and he fell apart.

He is done and if he comes back he is a fool regardless of team.

Which was a farce. There is no need to start up this shit again either, Mr. One-trick Pony.

EDIT: Also you need to learn reading comprehension. Favre did not orchastrate this release. He tried to get released back in January and was denied. The Jets did it this time on their own. .

I have been telling you all that Favre to the Vikings would happen for a year now, and nobody wanted to believe it. Poison pill, poision pill, you all screamed. Well, as you now see, that is not a factor anymore, as I predicted.

Seriously, did you really think Ziggy Wilf's answer at QB on a defending division champion team and Super Bowl contender was Sage Rosenfels. This was the plan all along, ever since Brett was calling Childress a year ago begging to play for the Vikings. Brett wants to play for the Purple so bad he can barely contain himself, and he wants to destroy the Packers. Why? We probably haven't heard about all of the bad blood between Brett and the team, but if you're willing to call the Lions to help them prepare for the Pack . . .

The addition of Percy Harvin, to go with Adrian Peterson, Bernard Berrian, Chester Taylor, etc., etc., only makes him more smitten.

Get ready 6-10 Packer fans. The hero of your franchise is about to suit up for your division champion rival.

So when's the jersey retirement scheduled for again?

That is funny.

About the article, Bedard is so desperate to stir up crap with all the Minnesota speculation. ME thinks Bedard wants Favre(as the rest of the idiot writers at MJS) to go to Minny becuase they would love to see Favre make TT look bad. It would justify their anti-TT stance and they could say "See, WE were right!".

Rarely do I agree with Nutz but I think his post tells it like it is!

[Fritz]

I would be prone to passing this off as JSO fluff - ya gotta get people to read your stuff or you can't make any money - except for one, small phrase in Favre's statement: At this time

Before you release a prepared statement, you go over and over it to make sure it says what you want it to say. By adding the above phrase, the Favre camp is acknowledging that Favre's status could change.

They left the door open the way Joey Hornbiter used to leave his barn door open in first grade - wide, wide open.

I don't think it was a farce. He made the Pro Bowl based on the team's 8-3 record after beating the Patriots. They went 1-4 after that.

I blame the Madden curse for Favre's injury and Green Bay's 6-10 record. Heh.

Even based on the 8-3 record it was a farce. Phillip Rivers even at that point was more deserving.

Interesting Tidbit


Report: Favre Asked To Be Released Twice
Posted by Mike Florio on April 29, 2009, 12:18 p.m. EDT

Though retired (for now) quarterback Brett Favre claims that his recent release by the Jets doesn’t mean that he’ll be playing football again in 2009, the facts paint a different picture.

As we pointed out last night, the act of releasing Favre’s rights has no meaning, unless Favre plans to bury the hatchet with Packers G.M. Ted Thompson as part of a ceremonial one-day retirement contract. (Then again, the only hatchet-burying Favre would ever be doing with Thompson would involve the burial of a hatchet by Favre in Thompson’s silver-haired head.)

So what gives? Per Dave Hutchinson of the Newark Star-Ledger, Favre asked to be released twice — most recently after the Jets landed Mark Sanchez in the 2009 draft.

As Hutchinson tells the story, citing an unnamed source, Favre believed that with Sanchez on the roster it would be easier to force his way out.

And the Jets wisely opted against the same kind of drama the Packers endured last year, especially with their quarterback of the future on the roster.

Thus, even if Favre could prevail in a showdown with Mike Shanahan’s lie detector test regarding the quarterback’s current intention not to return to pro football, Favre and agent Bus Cook at a minimum seized upon the local eupohria resulting from the arrival of Sanchez in order to put the pieces in place for a Second Annual Brett Favre Unretirement, if/when Favre gets an itch that only playing football on Sundays in the fall can scratch.

[vince]

Last year, before the talk of "the itch" came about, I thought Brett was retired for good. Obviously, I was wrong. I always felt, and still feel, that he made a mistake in returning - and made many more mistakes throughout the process of returning.

While I still think Brett should stay retired, I'm not going to predict, because I'd probably let what I think he SHOULD do get in the way of what I think he WILL do. But I will say this. In my opinion, he would do yet another serious injustice to his legacy by returning yet again after retiring yet again. Perhaps he doesn't care, but he should. The itch will never go away. The time just comes for everyone to quit scratching it.

I didn't confirm this, but one fo the talking heads on the radio who would have the information, said that the Jets had the lowest average gain per reception of any team in history last year. In my opinion, Brett Favre just isn't very good anymore, and certainly not consistently good. After another offseason, if his body hasn't gone all the way over the cliff yet - it's about to. It happens to everyone who has ever played the game.
