Favre: the man, the legend. Are we having fun yet?

[MOBB DEEP]

Blunder or not, I'm still getting e-mails from Favre's website. Still sells Packer stuff too. Apparently he doesn't hate them enough to stop making money off of them.

wow....u go boy....

[MJZiggy]

If he joins the Vikings, you know where he can put his e-mails right?

[MOBB DEEP]

on your twitter account i KNOW!

[MJZiggy]

Is that what they're calling it these days?

Brett Favre's agent said today he believes the quarterback's surgically-repaired arm will be fine

Brett Favre is fun to watch.....and still "has it" as witnessed in the beginning of last season before his injury.

Whatever "it" is, I sure wish he would have brought it to the Giants game in the NFC championship game.

I'm glad that "it" factor got us to that game.. Thanks for playing!

As long as we're playing the nice job pat each other one the ass I'll play to

But no ass pat for Ted unless he wins a Superbowl - right B?

Double standard.

Maybe I'm not smart or just confused after playing softball and having a couple but I don't understand what you are implying or mean.

Shadow patted you on the ass cause he liked your point so I did the same to paco because I liked his point just as well.

Murphy viewed it as an opportunity to make a shitload of money.

I also disagree completely. I think Murphy viewed it as an opportunity to help protect Favre's Packer legacy from the guy who seemed unsure of whether he was going to play again. The financial return on investment is speculative at best - potentially a major blunder in this economy.

So the Packers are like Favre's own Secret Service?

Why the Packer 'O' offered Favre $20 Million to stay retired.

Probably because they wanted to continue to sell Favre jerseys while he still had a lot of good will in Wisconsin?

the timing of the "offer" was awfully shady pal......pack org HAD to know how it would be perceived and one's perception = their reality!

Favre was given the offer the day he "retired". How is that shady? Murphy went down to Mississippi to remind Favre of the offer. I know you have your lips chapped on Favre's ass, but you still need to get your facts straight.

dont u remember all the mess that was STILL going on when murph went down there? led to reports that packers were tryn to pay favre to stay retired! DUH!

Yeah, that was ESPN being dishonest. You know, the network which was clearly in the tank for Favre and bashed TT at every point. Murphy went down there and reiterated the deal he offered Favre at the time of his "retirement". ESPN is good at being misleading and distorting the truth. You are being very gullible or ignorant, not sure which.

C'mon this Favre-O-Drama is fun. It wasn't last year, but it makes flipping on ESPN in the morning at work very enjoyable at work (mixed group of hardcore Pack fans like Snake, Vike fans, and Bear fans) as there's something new everyday to talk about. The real point is that he's not a Packer anymore, so much luck to all the Vike brass in dealing with the circus as it just gets crazier every year with Brett.

Ya, I'd like to see him play, so long as we whoop his ass head to head and in the division. Bottom line, he's still easily one of the most exciting sports players to watch in all of sports...still!! Just glad we don't have to deal with it as we have ARod now.

WOW!

No, we aren't having fun yet. At least I'm not. The whole idea of Favre being a Viking sickens me.

The team that I despise most in the NFL is the Vikings. My favorite player of all-time is Favre. I've been bashed by many on here last season, because ya know, you cannot be a Packer fan and still support Favre at the same time.... Well, I did support him with the Jets, but if he goes to MN, it's an entire different story for me. I never wanted to believe that he would play just to stick it to TT. And don't tell me he just wants to play football because if he just wanted to play, then why isn't he talking with other teams??

I have stayed pretty mum throughout this latest ordeal because again, I don't want to believe that Favre would come back and disrespect the organization and the fans that supported him for so many years. I know some of you don't feel that way, but I certainly do. He played for TT for three seasons. He played for the Packers and the Packer fans for 16. How is that not sticking it to us? Again, 95% of this is media talk and nothing really from Brett himself, so I will give him the benefit of the doubt. But, should be put that ugly purple uni on, it's all off.

I forget who mentioned the fact about Favre's jersey being at Goodwill. That person actually makes a valid point because mine will probably be one of them, should be sign with MN.

Ruh-Roh. If Brett Favre pisses of Ms. GBRulz, who has been both a good Packer fan and a Favre fan, then he's really, really messed up.

Don't do it, Brett!

ok, so you're sayn that murph went down there at the most optimal time?

i cant recall EVERYTHING but i do remember that the timing was weird; thats ALL im postulating my man

yes, i watch espn but thats irrelevant; i KNOW favre said he felt insulted and im assuming its b/c of WHEN it happend...who would feel insulted with THAT kina offer unles it seemed SHADY???? if it was when he had been retired for AT LEAST six - eight months he would prob feel flattered

btw, i have NO PROB with being corrected when im truly wrong; thats how we grow as individuals

but to counter with conjecture (an activity alot of posters engage in) = flame baiting
