Breaking News on Brett Favre!

no offense, but with the exception of the return of SC, I have noticed an increase in the vitriolic posting here since the return of the banned.

and paco may be a troll, but you're just as bad CPK

Paco and cpk attack each other all the time. Pretty impossible IMO to consider one the cause. This Favre stuff brings out the worst in everyone.

So it makes sense that Favre's biggest hater would tassle with the the guy who defends him the most

Well you probably haven't noticed my excellent behavior since being released. I don't have an avatar, it is my probation

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.

Now be a good guy and give a hearty apology to Paco

At the time Paco made this claim without giving a source, I looked at all the major websites, Porfootballtalk.com, Yahoo.com JSO and others. Not one were reporting it. Between 35-45 miuntes after the claim was made did any site mention it. I don't need to offer an apology when I asked him to provide proof of his claim. Apparently, your reading comprehension is just as bad as pete's is. I owe him nothing.

The point is when you make a claijm like that you should be supplying a source. When you are an admitted troll like pete, that is an even more important guideline to be following.

Just wondering....Are the sources who say Favre has sent his x-rays to the Vikings any more reliable than the sources who said that Childress was traveling to Hattiesburg to meet with Favre?

Considering the network that broke this story was the same one breathlessly reporting that Childress was meeting with Favre in Mississippi while Fox 9 in Minneapolis was airing footage of Childress walking into Viking HQ in Minnesota, I would say they are about as reliable. In other words we don't know what the truth is.

How am I trolling? I posted something that broke live on ESPN for everyone to read. Yes, it was another Favre thread but hell theres already 13 other ones that didnt matter, I figured this one was actually credible. Why do you have to be such a dick to people? Honestly... stop and act civil. I'm not even taking a side with Favre or TT and youre still attacking me...and now Bretsky who seems to be a pretty cool person.. it makes zero sense.. so I'll ask again, stop please? Thank you.

The reason I think Favre sucks is that he totally shafted his teammates on the Jets. As opposed to last year, when he wanted to come back and play for the packers but we clearly didn't want him, its obvious he weaseled his way off the team this year. And that speaks volumes about his character.

The truly nice thing is that this isn't my problem any more.

I thought you chose not to have an avatar as a statement?

And yes, I have noticed your good behavior.

How did he "weasel" his way off the team? He asked for his release, and they granted it to him. Now he's not even sure if he's coming back and hes a bad guy for listening to offers? The Jets had EVERY right to hold onto him if they wanted him as their QB, backup or starter, but they chose to release him, rather than to pay 13 million to him if he decided to come back.

Agreed...one of the reasons I argued for not brining BF back last year is because if we didn't cut the cord, we'd be dealing with the same BS again this year....when Rodgers would be in a contract year.

By retiring, forcing them to draft a QB of the future, and then asking for his release when he knew they couldn't afford to bring him back.

Oh come on, don't tell me they didnt know it was always a possibility of happening. They were 12 million under the cap and coulda make moves if they chose to. They didnt, and Favre got what he wanted, his release so he can "stick it" to TT, thats all.

Let me slow this down for you so your little brain can compute. Here is your original post:

Brett Favre reports of staying retired is untrue. Favre will see a doctor and if he does not need major surgery, he will most likely sign with the Vikings.


Like most said on the boards.. this thing is probably long from over.

Note that you didn't give a source. Why should I believe a random claim, and especially one from someone who is an admitted troll and one who has alos admiited to stirring up on this forum to annoy people? I asked you to either

A: Supply the source to back up your claim

B: Shut up if you don't have one.


I asked you that becuase immediatly after you posted I went to:

Espn.com
cnnsi.com
profootballtalk.com
jsonline.com
yahoo.com
cbssportsline.com
greenbaypressgazette.com

You know how many of those sites were reporting that at the time of your post? ZERO. If I can't find a single source to back up your post, why should I believe you?


As for Bretsky, I didn't attack him. I gave him the same explanation I gave you He attacked me because he saw the report and posted 4 HOURS after I asked for a source.

Do you understand now, or do I have to slow it down even further?
