LORD FAVRE comeback part deux...!!!

[packers11]

75% chance he returns in my opinion... The facts are there just like last season, he wants to stick it to T.T...

Good thing we switched to 3-4, because some of Favre's worst games (as of late) have come against the 3-4 defense...

If Brett wants to go to Minnesota, let him. The Packers have no reason to fear him anymore and even if the Vikings were to win, Brett wouldn't be gaining anything becuase what would he be "sticking to TT"? Rodgers has already shown that the Packers offense runs just fine without Favre. ALso, Brett Favre still has the biceps tendon injury to deal with. He will need surgery unless he wants to be a detriment. Also, Wilf had to see the last 4 weeks of last season and come to the realization that a 40 year old broken down QB won't to his team any good. FWIW, Wilf is on record from Febuary saying he isn't interested in Favre even if he were available.

[retailguy]

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.

I've missed these kinds of comments. Good to hear them again.

Well said. Spot on.

Mobb is to Favre Love as Willy Taveras is to ___________

Either way, they are both one trick ponies.

You think Mobb is something, go over to Sportsbubbler and see Tank. He is having a field day with this.

Indeed.

This situation is totally different than last year. Last year, we didn't know how good Aaron would be. Last year, it appeared Brett could lead a team deep into the playoffs. Now, Aaron looks like a future star and Brett looks a bit washed up.

Man, some of us had this figured out long before now.

:P

Hey, I agree with Nutz when he's right. when he's wrong, the sumbitch is on his own.

I think BF would play like crazy for about 8-9 games, then he's gonna crumble. He did no off-season work (how he wants to do it now) and played at a high level for 11 games. This year, the fall will come earlier, cause once again, he hasn't put the work in.

Bus Cook said Favre wants to retire as a Packer and the release is a procedural move. http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/sports/44007632.html

Perhaps Favre has decided it's time to mend fences with the organization that he help revive and that helped make him a legend.

Wouldnt the Packers be making this announcement if it was in the least bit true?

[Joemailman]

I didn't say it was going to happen this afternoon. However, if Favre wants to retire as a Packer, obviously he needs to be released by the Jets first.

Well have I got news for you..... :P

Perhaps Favre has decided it's time to mend fences with the organization that he help revive and that helped make him a legend.

Then why didn't Favre simply say he intended to retire as a Packer this year?

Why has Favre's agent been in an extended negotiation with the Jets to get his unconditional release? I heard today that the JEts already denied his release request once earlier this month. Apparently Favre did not ask for his release simply to sign with G.B. to re-retire, that would be automatic courtesy.

Why would this release be done in April, just in time to negotiate with a new team?

Buzz Cook's quote is PR to cover the possibility that Favre does decide to stay retired, without precluding other options. All signs point to Favre playing in Minnesota.

Maybe the Jets didn't release Favre earlier because they were hoping to trade him for draft picks. That might explain why they didn't release him until after the draft.

Plane Flies From Minneapolis To Hattiesburg, And Back Again
Posted by Mike Florio on April 29, 2009, 10:59 p.m.

It probably means nothing.

But, let’s face it, Hattiesburg-Laurel Regional Airport is hardly a major hub of transportation.

Only five flights arrived there today, and only six departed.

One of the arrivals came from Minneapolis, and one of the departures headed back there.

The plane from Minneapolis arrived at 9:11 a.m. local time, and left at 4:14 p.m. local time.

It probably has nothing to do with one of the more famous residents of Hattiesburg. After all, he’s retired from playing football, and he has no intention of coming back.

Favre said so himself. “It’s all rumor. [There’s] no reason for it.”

Oh, wait. That was last year, when Favre shot down in early July talk that he wanted to come back.

Since he was telling the truth then, he’s surely telling the truth now.
