Breaking News on Brett Favre!

[pbmax]

my guess is that if Favre would have retired without being released, a return to the NFL would have been impossible without going through the Jets. In other words, the Jets would have been in control of where Favre went, and not Brett. Its very possible that the whole thing with the Jets (behind closed doors anyway) was always just supposed to be a one year deal to help sell tickets.

That is an entirely possible theory.

But while Favre could make the Packer's camp a circus, he could not force a move because of the cap. So the Packers did have a distinct measure of control over his ultimate destination. But Brett was driving the 2009 decision. The Jets could not have exercised that control without cap and roster surgery post unretirement.

and on and on and on

and on and on and on

Just let it die. Having the last word is not improving anyone's memory or opinion. Its all been said and played out. Move on. Please.

Kindo of funny how no media outlet is reporting this. Not even Florio. I guess what I am saying is Pete, either porovide proof or STFU troll.

Good daily double here. Wrong and profane. Nice post.

yup; pure crap to go into attack mode right away.

Do you live in the sticks, cpk ? All of the
Milwaukee channel's sports news last night
carried news on the Packers, as well as on
later reports. I think ESPN presents it
every 15 minutes or thereabouts, don't they ???

CPK, I am sorry, it was not my intention to upset you, I was simply
pointing out how frequently news - especially Sports - is displayed on TV. Next time you have CNN, ESPN, etc....or maybe your local sports on,
watch the news 'crawl' across bottom of screen and you'll see updates on
almost anything, even Brett Favre - :P you'll catch his name there quite often.
Have a good evening !

You might want to read the whole thread which contains my explanation. At the time of that post, NOBODY was reporting it. It was almost an hour later by the time it showed up on the mainstream internet sites.

EDIT - I *had* to. Hope no one has a seizure.

That's some funny shiz.

Favre seems to be either unsure that he's coming back - thus the lack of word from his camp - or he simply enjoys the attention. No public pronouncements from Favre that he's done, there will be no contract with Minny or anyone else, that he is staying put, period.

It's hard to say that he's anything but unsure himself, at this point.

Again.

That's pretty funny

I don't care who you are. That there's funny.

Annnnnnnnd Favre begins to throw to high school kids... Per ESPN report

[cpk1994]

And only for 20 minutes before his arm gave out.

EDIT: From the ESPN.com article(Once again a big to do about nothing):

Favre, meanwhile, did some light throwing at Hattiesburg's Oak Grove High School on Monday and last week. Coach Nevil Barr told ESPN's Rachel Nichols that he "he didn't come like he was working out, like last summer when he was training and working."

Barr said that on Monday he threw for just 15-20 minutes after practice had already ended, "just enjoying himself with the boys." Favre's agent, Bus Cook, said that Favre told him that after throwing about 10 times, his arm hurt. Cook reiterated that "right now, he is retired. Nothing has changed."

Right now, I am typing a post on Packerrats.

You ever throw a football hard 10 times? If you're not conditioned to it, it hurts.

We toss a ball around daily at work for a bit of a break. When we first started doing this, within 15 minutes of throwing the ball basically as hard as you can without a real warmup, your arm is fried. We'd all come in and have to take ibeauprofen because our arms were just shaking from the pain.

Definitely takes some ramping up. But he's a former pro quarterback so I'm sure his arm is already conditioned much better.

Is it just me, or did we hear last summer that Favre was "just" throwing a few passes to some high school kids, no big deal? Nothing to read into that? Am I the only one that recalls that?

But what is your NEXT move?

NO, it couldn't have to do with the torn biccep tendon now coud it. And read the snippet I provided. It said he threw LIGHTLY, not hard.
