It's Official: Favre is the enemy

[Scott Campbell]

He became Fredo -- the one who betrays the family.

He's dead to me.

F*kin' sellout.

He has just flipped the bird to Packer fans. I don't wish ill will on certain players. But the way he has jerked the chain and gotten preferential treatment over the last 5-6 years galls me to no end.

Here's a toast to a 5 pick day when we beat them in the Twinkie dome and to a 6 sack performance by the new 3-4 when we trash the Queens in November. (hopefully a few Raji-Kampman sandwiches on old #4).



It would be even more priceless to see the Queens not make the playoffs due to a Favre pick. Then we can hear Paul Allen on KFAN scream "NOOOO!" like he did against the Cardinals a few seasons back.

Favre is not the enemy. The Vikings are the enemy. Does anyone single out AD? Not really. Hate the team, love the individuals.

AD was drafted by the Vikings, has only played for the Vikings, and has shown a lot more class and respect than Favre.

At this point I respect and like AD 1,000 times more than Favre.

Fuck Favre

Thank you GOD, they finaly see the light, the errors of their ways and they understand, the King is dead, Long live the King !

Go BEARS Go !

So, when people ask me how I came up with the name Bretta for my dog....what can I tell them, other than the obvious initial reason?

Isn't Bretta the name of a gun??

Beretta

Yeah, well I blame the whole thing on Devin Hester.

When Alan Page played the last 3.5 years for the Bears he sure as hell wasn't dead to me. It helped that it was right around the time girls became more important than football (for 3 or 4 years) but still. I don't get it.

Oh, you mean the WR, Cutler threw under the bus for a preseason game INT?

Classy way to show leadership there Jay. You may end up being as successful Moses Moreno or some of the other 2 dozen QBs the Muppets of the Midway have had over the past decade and a half.

Pugger, there was zero chance they were going to keep him. Clemons, Sanchez and Favre?

They were tight against the cap......there's no way. They made the right call.

But they only drafted Sanchez AFTER Favre asked for his release and they weren't planning on having him around.

Ras, he was invited back. They could have cleared the necessary room. And those conversations were well before the Sanchez pick. I am not saying it was the ideal situation, but Tannenbaum would have taken him back prior to the draft deal.

And think about it. Favre on the reserve/retire list made the Sanchez deal harder to complete. If they truly did not want him back prior to the draft, they just had to release him and they would have owed the Packers nothing. The poison pill took affect only if he was traded, if published reports are to be believed.

[Rastak]

PB, we'll have to agree to disagree. In analyzing the situation as the offseason started I saw zero chance with the new regime they'd want him back. The new coach get's a free pass for a year or two. It seems to me, only an idiot would want a 39 yo QB starting the season rather than either draft what you feel is a franchise QB or try and aquire someone you feel can run the offense for 3 or 4 years for you. New coach. New start.

[But Vikings coach Brad Childress, who's no dummy

He must not have caught many Vikings games the last few years. Or looked at the guy.

In other news it looks like I've got to get a "We'll never forget you Brent" shirt before the bump in sales drives up the price of cotton.

So, when people ask me how I came up with the name Bretta for my dog....what can I tell them, other than the obvious initial reason?

The girl's name Bretta \b-retta, br(et)-ta\ is a variant of Brett (Latin) and Brittany (Latin), and the meaning of Bretta is "from Britanny or Britain; from Brittany or Great Britain".

The girl's name Brett \b-re-tt\, also used as boy's name Brett, is pronounced bret. It is of Latin origin, and its meaning is "from Britanny or Britain". Surname used as given name. Also variant of Brittany. Literary: Lady Brett Ashley was Hemingway's heroine in the novel "The Sun Also Rises".

Brett has 5 variant forms: Bret, Bretta, Brettany, Brette and Britt....I always knew Favre was girly :P

Wait just a minute. You're moving out of GB. Who's ever going to make the connection? And if they do, lie about her age and tell them you think he's been acting like a girl the last few years.
