LIVE Press Conference: Brett Favre

[BF4MVP]

Good press conference. I love Favre's press conferences. He really covers every aspect of each question, doesn't he?

I thought he did a fine job yesterday. At the Press Conference. . .

He's so believable - down to earth.

GO PACKERS !!!!

LOL yeah, he didn't have the greatest practice yesterday, that's for sure.

It's starting to seem more and more like this is Brett's last year. He's starting to remind me of those stories of guys like Dick Butkis who played bone on bone becuase they couldn't stop competing. I respect him more and more for what he does and how much he loves to compete, but I realize he is losing his cartilage every year and at this point, he has severe bone spurs that are effecting his comfort. He had bone spurs last year, they mentioned it and it never gets better. You can play for a long time and start to chew away your bone. He could play anohter year, but he's starting to do perminant damage. Favre isn't exaggerating. He kind of downplays it but bone on bone is serious stuff.

Butkis played LB and he chewed off parts of his bone. He still played even though he shouldn't have been walking. He never practiced and just dosed up on pain killers. Favre isn't to that point, but he's getting there. I just don't see him playing another year esspecially considering how Rodgers is closing the gap. At some point, it's just not worth it. I just hope the young guys up front can give him a happy exit. He derserves it. He is sacraficing his body.

I respect the compassion in that post man. Not alot of quit in Brett Favre.

I'll go out on a limb and say he retires after next season. Aaron Rodgers needs at least all of this season well behind Brett Favre.

Trust this.

Brett will know exactly when - it's time . . . . . .

Till then we get to enjoy him . . and not anymore of the shame him we saw endure - after the midway point of 2005.

GO PACKERS !
