Favre Deal Done?

Skinbasket - check your PM's.

Looks like it's open season on cpk. Better strap one on brah.

I can deal with it, if the admin would just be honest and admit that he has different standards for different posters based on wether he likes you or not.

different standards ? What a load of crap. How would you know what an admin is PM'ing people ? Silly to generalize like this with limited knowledge.

You are still around and you've shown plenty of disrespect over time toward other posters.

Reread Snake's personal attack on me and Admin's response. I called "Pot calling kettle" becuase Snake is the last person who should be calling me out for personal attacks based on the repeated personal attacks he has thrown my way, not to mention the thread that ended up in the garbage can that Snake created purely to personally attack me and the constant editing of my posts to misrepersent me. Admin says I wasn't even close and then in a later post implicitly defended the personal attack post. That is how it comes off to me.

Maybe if you had called Favre a cunt, you could have just gotten away with not apologizing.

That's one word I will never use.

I think it's more based on his impression of a poster being a one trick pony.


Same opinion on same subject interjected into every fucking post.....over and over and over. I will rip this guy, I will rip this poster....rinse and repeat.

Just my guess.

I agree with you Rastak. I consider CPK to be one of the least contributing posters here (right below myself). But there has to at least be an impression of fairness.

So................ I have wondered this many times over the last year.

I realize there is no way of getting a solid answer to this question.

But.

Does anyone think this whole Favre to the Vikings thing could have been avoided if TT had somehow acquired Randy Moss?

Just a thought.

No, I don't think so. People who thrive on drama - and I think Brett Favre needs drama - can never be appeased. They'll just find something else to give them the reason they need to create the drama they subconsciously crave.

I don't know Fritz. I think Favre's drama has been more cerebral than subconsious. However I don't think he craves it. I think it was his only way to play a very public game of chicken last year with TT. This whole Viking thing has been a product of football fans and media.

I think if a player of a lesser caliber did this, no one would care.

Let him play for the Vikings for a few years and then check back with us.

Body of work is my guess......body of work. Same shit over and over equals kick square in ass.

Exactly. Thanks Rastak. You nailed it.

[Administrator]

Just a brief explanation. Anyone feeling the need to reply, do so by creating a new thread in the Romper Room.

CPK - I overlooked two things in the post that Snake made. You needed a good "telling off" and he did it. No telling off is ever perfect, so yes, I cut him some slack considering.

You've lost your 'right' to gripe with your entire body of work. You don't like it? Leave. You've had more chances than any other poster in this forum, and you are truly on your last chance. (Your fairness comment is absolutely asinine, you have skated more than anyone) You add virtually nothing to these forums. Your only function is to screw things up.

I have asked repeatedly for off topic discussion, and bickering to not be present in this forum. I meant it, and it is going to end.

This forum is to talk about the Packers. That's it. It is not for you or anyone else to bitch, moan, complain, or criticize people.

To everyone:

If you have a post about the topic at hand, post it, if not, don't.

Well, if a player of lesser caliber did this, no one - including NFL teams - would care. Can you imagine a guy like, say, Scott Wells "retiring" from the Packers, then announcing in June or so he wanted to come back? The Packers would just cut him, and he'd be free to sign a minimum wage deal with the Jets. He'd play for a year, retire again, then want to come back - in July this time - and no one would touch him.

So yes, Favre's talent has a lot to do with this. And yes, the fans and media stoke the flames. We love this crazy shit, mostly.

But Favre does - over and over - put himself into positions in which he is going to receive more attention than he does otherwise. Let's say for example he didn't talk publicly about retiring every year. Let's say he didn't "retire" from the Pack the first time - let's say he privately told TT he thought he'd retire but he wanted to wait ti the end of April (the draft).

So he comes back after all. No one heard anything, so sure there'd be lots of speculation, but after his announcement there wouldn't be a big circus in the summer. Lots of "How ya feelin'?" stuff, but not the craziness that was last offseason.

In all fairness Fritz, there were several times when his brother would speak first or someone else around him and then Favre would be forced to answer. . Some times it was other players. All this junk about Favre craving attention is nonsense and is put out there by those who don't have a clue.

I mean come on, the media hounds him worse than any Hollywood stars. In the football sport world, Favre is the holy Grail for a lot of these reporters. They are the ones who have consistently stirred the pot. Has he handled it well? No, but then again he's a football player, not a public relations pro which is what many expect of him. Where is it written that a player is suppossed to know how to handle the press?

There are those who claim he should just not say anything. Well, that's easy to say but when your asked the same crap over and over a billion times (insert sarcasm here), sooner or later your gonna say something.

Favre puts himself in the position, but the media certainly plays a part. There's not a lot of 'no comment' in that boys vocabulary. Media asks a question, he answers. So the media keeps asking, he keeps answering.

The boldfaced part above is where we disagree. First, Favre is not ever "forced" to answer. It's his nature to answer. Also, there are many people, and I am one, who think that Favre uses family members to get messages out that he wants out there but doesn't want to give himself - the Thompson-bashing, for example.

The guy's been playing for how many years now? Almost 20? Something like that? It's a fact of life in the NFL that if you're a QB and you last a few years as a starter, part of the job description does involve knowing how to deal with the press. It may not be written down, but teams now teach players how to address the media so as not to stir the pot. I'm not saying I necessarily agree with it, but I think it's fair to expect an NFL player who's been around for a long time to know how to deal with the press.

And finally, I do think Favre craves attention. That's just my opinion, and I think his history supports that, but there it is.

[MOBB DEEP]

Statistically, Favre and Manning are identical in the playoffs. Stats are eerily similar, as I did a deep comparison, and both have had a hard time winning big games.

Yet Peyton is the best QB ever, and Favre is just yesterday's news.

Please post it, I'd love to look at it.

HILARIOUS
