When Favre gets inducted in Hall of Fame

I can't decide who looks worse

[Guiness]

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.

I think you got confused by the deferred money from 2009.

Favre contract details

August 19th, 2009 – 11:00 AM by Judd Zulgad 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.

So part of that was deferred money from 2009. He had a salary of $12million in 2009, but $8million was deferred to 2010. In 2010, he made a salary of $13million, and also received $8million from 2009, for a total of $21million. But adding the $12million from 2009 is double counting.

I can't believe I feel like I'm splitting hairs here, by saying he made $37million not 46. But as you so eloquently put it, Fuck it, it doesn't matter.

edit: Damn, Patler ninja'd me while I was trying to compose a non-runon sentence!

Alright, you made me go look for the articles.

He signed a two-year $25 million contract with the Vikings per these articles (and many others):

and this:

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.

Playing football didn't embarrass his family. The Vikings gave him an almost 10 million dollar raise to come back last year.

Playing football put him around masseuses and sideline reporters on a daily basis. Had he stayed home mowing his lawn, Mrs. Favre could have kept him in line.

As for the raise to return last year, there was some talk about it, but later reports said it was tied to playoff success in 2010. That didn't turn out so well for him.

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 am confused and anxious about the picture of John Candy

[gbgary]

Retire for twenty million, or play three more years for 48 million and lose the respect of millions. I wonder what the better deal was for the Favre family?

he's just an ex-viking qb to me.

I was talking to some nice old lady in the rehab pool tonight, asked her if she was going to watch the Packers game tomorrow. What a mistake. She launched into a long explanation of how she stopped watching the Packers since "they were so mean to Brett." Christ, I had to stand there pretending to care, nodding my head in agreement. It never occured to me to ask her if she saw the phone pics.

I guess I had figured that the Farve controversy was long over, that everybody was now just done with him. not so, not so. As this poll shows, he's still a local hero.

no you didn't.

But you're right about the controversy continuing. The Favre thing spurred the only argument I've had with my Dad in the past 10 years.

But like you said nobody cares anymore.

[Harlan Huckleby]

OK Nutz, I thought you were the only one who still cared, but now I see I am wrong. I apologize. What more can I do to make this up to you? I already threw you a bone and said Favre's penis really isn't so small.

mraynrand: who among us has the courage to tell a sweet, broken-hearted 80-year-old lady that she is bat-shit crazy?

I can see someone is becoming emotionally invested in an internet forum again.
