Isn't "Everyone's all-american" the movie where John Goodman gets snuffed for reneging on a debt? He died real good in that movie.

I think it was more like $37 million, 12 from the Jets and 25 from the Vikings.Originally posted by Deputy Nutz View PostRetire for twenty million, or play three more years for 48 million. I wonder what the better deal was for the Favre family?
Hmmm, bearing in mind the vast wealth the family already had at the time, I wonder which his wife and daughters would have chosen?:
Option 1 - $20 million and have their husband/father retire at the peak of his popularity, worshiped as a god in WI probably the rest of his life, with unlimited opportunities for appearances and endorsements for some time to come, guest appearances, etc. Honored and respected by most.
Option 2 - $37 million and have their husband/father play three years, achieve another heart-breaking playoff loss for which he is criticized rightly or wrongly, having embarrassing personal situations published widely, be investigated by the league, be vilified by formerly adoring fans, experience embarrassment as their husband/father is exposed (literally) as a pandering old goat by numerous women barely the age of his eldest daughter, have their husband/father become the butt of jokes and sexual innuendos.
Ya, I'm sure the extra cash was really worth it.

he got like 22 million from the Vikings in his last year. plus his 12 million from the jets, and another 12 million from the Vikings for 2009. So sorry 46 million and he got to play football for another 3 years.
Fuck it. It doesn't matter and Harlan stirred the pot again with another Favre thread.

Alright, you made me go look for the articles.Originally posted by Deputy Nutz View Posthe got like 22 million from the Vikings in his last year. plus his 12 million from the jets, and another 12 million from the Vikings for 2009. So sorry 46 million and he got to play football for another 3 years.
Fuck it. It doesn't matter and Harlan stirred the pot again with another Favre thread.
He signed a two-year $25 million contract with the Vikings per these articles (and many others):
and this:The Vikings will pay Favre $12 million this year and $13 million next season, sources told ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen and ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter. The contract does not contain performance bonuses.
Some details of Brett Favre’s two-year, $25 million contract with the Vikings have started to emerge, thanks to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The $12 million Favre will get for 2009 will be paid in three $4 million installments. One will be paid this season, another in March and the third not until 2011.The contract also contains $6 million guaranteed for skill and injury, meaning if he plays poorly and the team releases him, Favre will get $6 million.
His Jets' salary was carried over from the Packer contract, and was $12 million per USA today and other sources:
Yes, he got to play another 3 years and embarrass the hell out of his wife and daughters with his juvenile ways in the process. He ruined his reputation with many Packer fans and he embarrassed himself in front of the entire NFL. He lied to the league during their investigation (their finding, not mine).
I wonder if the extra money was really worth it? I'm sure it would have been tough surviving on the $100 million + that he had earned from the Packers and sponsors before that.
If he hadn't made such a laughing stock out of himself, he probably could have signed other deals in addition to the $20 million the Packers were willing to give him. He might have made more than the 37 million that he got.
