Report: “Favre Can’t Stand Green Bay”

[RashanGary]

Everyone knows I'm not a Favre fan (the person or the player lately).

I'm hoping there is a day he realizes nobody was out to get him and they were just doing their job.

I'm starting to think this is going to happen. He could squash all of this INSTANTLY by just saying he's retired. He's letting this thing drag out. I think he's a year late going to the Vikings, but I'm sure he's better than TJack and probably better than Sage even at this point in his career when he has less than zero mobility and has a solid but nothing special arm.


I'm not going to throw darts at the guy. Done is done. Him playing for the Vikes doesn't change what I think of him. It would be a lot of fun to watch though. I kind of hope it happens. It's the right spot for him, but I don't think he's good enough and I know the Vikes are supposed to be on the rise, but AP isn't getting any better, neither is Jared Allen, neither is their OL, neither is Pat or Kevin. They don't have a lot of young up and comers. I just don't think they're all that great, even with Favre in his current state. Favre of 5 years ago, yeah, they're legit. This Favre, I really don't think he's very good so I don't think he'll make much of a difference.

[RashanGary]

I'll definitely listen to Havel on Monday. He usually seems to know what is coming before it comes with Favre.

I think we're a long way away from Brett wearing purple. A few things have to be realized to his satisfaction before it could happen.

1) The StarCaps lawsuit probably needs to be resolved in favor of the Williamses, since if you remove Pat and Kevin for the first four games of the season, that's going to put Minnesota in a sizable hole. The court date for this is sometime in June, so don't expect a decision out of Favre for a couple of months.

2) Favre has to be sure that his shoulder is healed. After last season Favre passed up on some surgery that would heal his injured shoulder, instead opting to let it gradually heal over time. How far along are we in this process? He probably hasn't been throwing much, what with the injury, will he be ready in time?

3) Favre has to determine to his satisfaction that he would be anointed the starter if he landed in Minnesota, since the man absolutely detests training camp and there is a non-negligible chance that in a fair competition, Sage (who is young and has upside) might beat out Brett (who is old, and declining). If there's any chance that Favre might not end up as the starter and get relegated to backup duty or even cut, he's not going to take that chance. He's a proud man, and he's got plenty of money.

I do admit it would be sort of humorously ironic though that if Brett Favre is so overcome with his hatred of the Green Bay Packers that he signs with their archrival, and then loses a fair competition for the starting Quarterback role, and is cut in favor of keeping a young, inexpensive player with some upside in the backup role.

I'm still hoping though that the reports of Favre hating the Packers are significantly overstated, and that he just stays at home and enjoys the retired life.

Re: Fool

It will be very sad to see Brett play another year. He was terrible at the end of the season last year. He is ruining his legacy and making a fool out of himself.

I certainly agree.
It was especially sad to learn how little he was as a person.

And you've always been king of the morons here..........

It's always nice to "wish" and hope" but there are zero facts to support your opinion. Harrell is a bust plain and simple. He has contributed NOTHING as the 16th pick in the draft ...................................

There are two rules you do not dismiss as a GM. You can get lucky ignoring one or the other but Teddy violated both. He drafted an under-clasman and he drafted an injury riddled player going back to HS.

Once again, Reggie Nelson was sitting there and he was a NEED pick. Had Thompson taken Nelson, we would have had a player who contributed immediately as I believe he was all-rookie in the AFC.

[Deputy Nutz]

Again, if Favre wants to play and there is a team willing to pay him he is well with in his rights. He just better commit to himself to the game starting like now.

You haven’t heard the end of Favre. No way. He is bionic. As long as somebody will let him in, he will play.”

Well, Favre may be bionic, but if he wants to play for anyone this year, he better get back to out to the barn and his lonely Bowflex and lose his 'Bionic' gut and his 'bionic' wide ass - about 30 pounds of 'Bionic' fat that was slowing him down last year.

and revenge? Revenge is a dish best served cold. It is very cold in Lambeau - except probably not on Nov. 1.

[RashanGary]

That was funny, ayn rand. He certainly didn't look like an NFL QB a lot of the time out there. Obviously he could still throw the ball, but outside of that, it was like watching your uncle Buck put on his football suite and get mowed down by real NFL players.

The guy must have monkey tendons. It's amazing that a person who is, by all visual evidence, physically incapable of stepping on a football field can make it through an NFL season. The guy is top notch durable. It's really fucking astounding the beating that old guy can take I'll always respect that about him, probably even more-so late in his career when any normal human would have toppled over just from the arthritic pain.

If he wants another year, I'll tell you what, I'll bet he makes it through the year. The guy might not be good, but he'll be there getting his legs bent in awkward directions and getting up to limp under center for another snap. His wife has to be turning her head, just hoping he gets up at this point in his career. I'm laughing out loud, but man, I could just as easily be cringing.

[RashanGary]

Favre is like a twisted version of Chuck Norris.

Chuck is quicker than a puma, stronger than an ox and craftier than rapist. His legend will be passed through generations I'm sure.


Favre, well, he never really beats anyone up, but he's like Houdini in that you could punch him in the nut bag and he'd irk his head sideways and smile. You could dive on his knee, bending it backwards and he'd get up, rub himself off and go back under center. A 260 lb LB could dive head first into his spine on a blind side hit and he'd get up for more.

He's like Chuck in that his legend will never die. Chucks legend is that there is no one who can beat him down. Brett's legend is that there is no way you can beat him down hard enough that he won't get back up.

Certainly, there is some pride in that hillbilly tough, but man, he's 40 years old. At some point, doesn't he just want to be able to walk on his ankle that is said to be bone on bone already. Doesn't he want to be able to get out of bed and enjoy the days with his grandkids without any more pain than I'm sure he'll already have to endure in his daily life. Enough's enough Brett. You're an old man. You're tough as hell, we get it. You don't need another beating to prove it to anyone.

Wow. I hope this isn't true. But, I must admit, it was my feeling after watching Greta's interview...

Revenge rarely works. But, WOW. This is really sad if true.

I don't think it's that sad personally. Say a company kicked you to the curb for some young 'up and comer'. Wouldn't you want to make them pay for the disservice? I know I sure would.

He threw for 6 TDs in a game last season, dont really think he is making a fool of himself. Also wasn't his arm hurt during the end of the season when he started to struggled?

Notice he said the end of last year? When the Jets literally collapsed and most of it due to Favre's horrible play.

This is a moronic statement to make. Those Jets, which were abysmal the year before whilest the Packer were great, were the dominant team in the NFL before Favre got hurt, while the Packers struggled mightly throughout the season.

Zoinks! Visual evidence that he is physical incapable? Let's not kid ourselves. You've never been in the sort of condition Favre was in last year. Not even close. Never ever ever. You can clean 135. You know how much Favre can? Probably 2-3x that much.

I wouldn't be too worried about it if the company paid me 50-100 million for my time with them. Especially if it was a "beat making" company and what I loved doing more than anything was making beats... what a good fit!

I'd actually be pretty appreciative of every opportunity they've given me, even if I ran with those chances when I got them. Around 20 million, I'd start to think about vacations and investments and how quickly I can retire using my money to work for me.

But you know, that's just me.

But if you loved making beats, it wouldn't be about the money at all.

It would be a pride thing and you want the world to know you are one of thee most pasionate and best beat makers to have ever beaten a beat.

And its the only thing you know how to do.

Is Snake the ONLY one who loves to see JH and Partial battle? It's fun and takes away anything Snake could say...kinda like 2 inept monkeys battling for a meat scrap. But, alas, Partial is right and so is JH, but both wrong.

Favre wants to play and will play till he gets dragged off the field. Revenge, no. He just wants to win and can trap beavers and mow grass when he's 45. Let him play. He's no threat to the Pack in Minn. but if he is...so the legend grows, eh? Let him play. He's off our (the Pack's) hands now. From here on out, sobeit, let the hillbilly play. He's fun as fuck to watch and did beastly in his first 11 games (crazy rating, stats, 8-3 Jets...talk of ESPN as the best team in the AFC) then he hurt his arm. If it's sound, let him play. Sounds like drama, but if he REALLY wants to stick it to TT bring it, cuz we are better in 2009 with ARod than Brett (and love both). But Snake loves the drama, makes TV enjoyable.
