Report: Favre is on a plane to Minnesota

[Patler]

Patler nails it.....

How about Bobby Orr to the heated rival Black Hawks? Fans forgive and forget by and large....so does the press.

Who's Bobby Orr?

I don't think anybody is going to forget the way Jordan's career ended.

Favre never reached the height Jordan did as an athlete, though his popularity did.

Jordan's career end was quite a bit more convoluted than Favre's (so far, anyway!) Jordan actually left the game twice. Favre never has left, just "talked about it" in the off seasons. He hasn't missed a bit of a season, unlike Jordan who missed full seasons. Jordan left to play another sport, then returned. Jordan's second hiatus from playing was even longer and he originally returned to the sport as a part owner.

Twenty years from now, what will be remembered about Favre? The Packers traded him with some hard feelings, but it seemed the right call because Rodgers was ready. No one will care about the details. Then Favre retired from the Jets, but didn't stay retired, and "somehow" ended up on the Vikings , where he..............

I just don't see how the Favre details that seem so important now will matter to anyone 10 or 15 years from now, assuming Favre is actually retired by then!

To sum up my feelings on this whole buisness

Fuck this. Play for the fucking Vikings. But don't expect all your previous fans will forgive and forget when its all over. Shit burger.

lol..hope he doesnt slit his wrists b/c some of his past "fans" have jumped ship

Wouldn't happen. He'd just about want to end it, then figure he's got another year left or so. Then after a few years of debating - he'd really do it -- buy the Gillette Mach 3 and even write the letter... But then he'd switch minds and go with the Schick Quattro (just to stick it to the president of Gillette).

:P

lol....actually, i think the best thing he said in presser was that its HIS legacy..other cats will leave a MUCH worse legacy than simply changing his mind ALOT....he's no dutch schultz for crying out loud; he's not even a whack republican teen-age girl loving bama like chumura. proper perspective is needed for folk to stop viewing favre as some sorta scumbag

add this to his legacy too: he will get TT snake tail ("this guy" lol) fired in 1.5 to 2 years

Sorry Mobb. You don't get to determine what your legacy is. It is what is passed down to the next generation. As much as Lord Favre wants to think that only his play between the lines counts anything he does off the field also affects his legacy.

Why the hate for TT "snake tail"? I thought this was ENTERTAINMENT!!

still just entertainment and TT doesnt entertain me (the players do) he he....its really not hate as much as it is displeasure with player moves...wont call him a scumbag

[MOBB DEEP]

After they die off, none of this will matter.

That's why its so important that we teach the children.

top ten funniest thing u ever said u hoser

" Who's Bobby Orr? "

Bobby Orr is aguably the greatest or most skilled hockey player in the history of the NHL Waldo.

#4 Bobby Orr. Check out his records and the fact he played defense. His records were amazing. He could skate and handle the puck like no other. He dominated the game when he was at his best and his acceleration was impressive.

No argument from me, Woodbuck. An unbelievable skater and puck handler for his day, his equipment.

Bobby Orr, from little old Parry Sound Ontario. I have been at the Bobby Orr Arena in Parry Sound many times!

Orr changed the game of NHL hockey, making defencemen offensive threats. Some horrendous knee injuries and surgeries back in the days when the knee was foreign territory for surgeons cut short his career way, way too early.

I recommend getting a DVD featuring the play of Bobby Orr. I have a close friend that grew up with Gordie Howe as his hero. Today he has memorabilia collected on Bobby Orr. I was down late last winter for a visit to Fredericton, New Brunswick with Bob and one evening he put the Orr DVD on a huge theater screen. It was unbelievable to re-live the play of Bobby Orr. Orr was the best.

I have some old VHS tapes of NHL highlights through the years with the same things. Lots of Orr stuff. He skated through and around NHL'ers like they were PeeWees.

That reminds me, I better transfer those to DVDs before I can't play them anymore!

I have been surprised at how critical more and more reporters have become about Favre. The dance with the Vikings has pushed many more over the edge of exasperation with the whole story. I am surprised at how across-the-board critical the writers at the National Football Post are. Even the NFL itself, on its own website, had article titles that almost ridiculed the situation.

Short term, that will affect his legacy. Twenty-five years from now, very few will remember how and why he played for the Vikings, they will just know that he did. Beyond that time his legacy will be his stats and the video archives. By and large, the Favre stories will be exceedingly positive except for a small percentage of grudge-bearing Packer fans. After they die off, none of this will matter.

But sometimes peoples actions get them in the dictionary. Quisling, Benedict Arnold are two I came up with in ten minutes. Who knows maybe pulling a Favre will become part of the English language.

"He favred his retirement!" - I like it!
How soon before it will be spelled like it sounds?

I take it your sporting focus is rather narrow? I'm not a hockey guy at all but I sure as shit know Bobby Hull, Gordy Howe, Guy LaFluer and Bobby Orr.

Hockey falls just after European football for me, which I love but I have to admit your ignorance is rather shocking.

Not a hockey guy? And you're a Minnesotan? The shame of it all!!

It is true though....I am not a hockey guy....although I did watch the entire NHL playoffs in 1980 and 1981!
