I thought Chilly said it wasn't a distraction.

I can't run no more
With that lawless crowd
While the killers in high places
Say their prayers out loud
But they've summoned, they've summoned up
A thundercloud
They're going to hear from me - Leonard Cohen -
It isn't very often that I root for the Jets, but tonight is definitely one of them. J-E-T-S JETS! JETS! JETS!Comment

Yeah, Vince, but this is what "wholesome" men do. It's their way of denying that any of this could possibly be true. /sarcasmOriginally posted by vinceComment

I am so looking forward to the reception he will receive.Originally posted by vince
He prolly will actually play really well and use this as motivation. The big question is how much of an effect it's had on the rest of the team and the chemistry. Apparently he's loved by his team mates. These types of things can get into the heads of the players anyway, especially the youngens.
Or, the Vikes all rally around him and all play their hearts out. Interesting game coming up.Comment

They'll surely lay it all out for him... Well, maybe not all of it out... I mean doing that is what got Brett in trouble in the first place...Originally posted by Tarlam!All hail the Ruler of the Meadow!Comment

Ryan Longwell says Brett Favre cried as he apologized to teammates
Posted by Michael David Smith on October 11, 2010 6:26 PM ET
Vikings kicker Ryan Longwell, a longtime friend and teammate of Brett Favre's, says that Favre cried as he told teammates he was sorry for the distraction caused by allegations that he sexually harassed former Jets employee Jenn Sterger.
ESPN's Michelle Tafoya said on SportsCenter that she talked to Longwell about the meeting.
"Brett Favre actually broke down in tears and was very emotional, saying, 'I'm sorry to have been a distraction,'" Tafoya said she was told by Longwell.
Although Tafoya said that Longwell wouldn't give her all the details of the meeting, Longwell said that Favre appealed to his teammates to stick with him.
"I need you guys to carry me tonight," Favre told the Vikings, as related by Longwell to Tafoya. "I'm ready to go out there and give it my best, but I don't know what's going to happen."
Longwell, who played with Favre in Green Bay from 1997 to 2005, told Tafoya that the tearful team meeting was reminiscent of Favre addressing his Packers teammates in December of 2003 after the death of Favre's father.
Meanwhile, ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports that Sterger hasn't decided whether she will cooperate with the NFL's investigation into the matter, which Mortensen interprets as very good news for Favre.
"If she doesn't cooperate," Mortensen reported, "it's very unlikely that Favre would be disciplined."Comment

Sounds like Favre cried while he addressed his teammates today. Where have we seen that before?www.ccso228@twitter.comComment

The fact that he was crying shows he did it. He feels bad and regerts it. Everyone makes mistakes, be it a really big one. Still I hope he plays like crap today.Originally posted by vinceDraft Brandin Cooks WR OSU!Comment

Was Brett looking for the same support?[size=18]

I think feeling for a guy because a close loved one passes is far different than sorrow for a guy because he is an old pervert. Totally different levels and types of 'motivation'.Comment

Yeah, why cry. If it was made up I think he would be "mad/pissed off" at Deadspin for dragging his teammates into this wrongly.Originally posted by PaCkFan_n_MDBut Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

The last sentence in the article bothers me. It would be a miscarriage of justice for B-rod to get off without any discipline because Sterger doesn't want to cooperate.Comment

ESPN Anchor: Michelle, have you spoken to Favre personally?
Tafoya: No, but Longwell gave Favre my cell number in case he wished to comment or elaborate...wait...I'm getting a text now and it's from Brett...perhaps he will...EWWWWW![QUOTE=George Cumby] ...every draft (Ted) would pick a solid, dependable, smart, athletically limited linebacker...the guy who isn't doing drugs, going to strip bars, knocking around his girlfriend or making any plays of game changing significance.Comment

She's got an attorney now. At the very minimum this is going to cost the Favre's some serious cash..www.ccso228@twitter.comComment
