PFT says false Favre alarm (I thought so)

[ahaha]

Why are we getting PACKERS news out of Minneapolis!!!!????

Good question, there should NEVER be Packer news in Minneapolis.

Having moved to Minneapolis, I can say this is a great place to live, except for all the damn Viking fans

Then why the heck do you go drinking with them.....
j/k of course......

I'm part of the spy network.

Since the Minnesota press is trying to take some of the focus away from Greenway and now Koren Robinson by trying to start rumors about Favre I hope Favre and the rest of the team can somehow use this as motivation to kick some extra butt in the NFC North

Local stations are simply following ESPN's "crap against the wall" philosophy. If you throw enough crap against the wall some of it will eventually stick. If channel 5 is right, look at the scoop they get. If they're wrong, they just avoid mentioning it again.

AGAIN, DO NOT TRUST PFT.COM!!!!

Trust, but verify.

doveryay, no proveryay

That is flat out bad journalism. You hear Favre has a 12:00 press confrence and run to you computer and put on your site that Favre is retiring because he has a press confrence. No journalistic investigation before you throw it on your site, no scanning the Packers web site to see he has the same confrence every week, no checking around the league to hear if anything big is stirring. What a joke!

C'mon. Florio doesn't even PRETEND to be a journalist! He webpage is called the RUMORMILL!

If he verified everything like a decent newspaper, it'd be as boring as a regular newspaper.

Even thought PFT is 100% anti-packers and 100.9% anti-Favre I still visit there daily. I love some of the stuff they post and the pictures make me laugh.

Woody,

Do you realize you posted the EXACT same article that Rastak started the thread with?

Whooops !

WTF..

Favre has a press conference every Wednesday during the season....

I hate PFT so much...

[mission]

they were doing that on 680 the Fan as well today... fucking morons, im sorry but could you get any more knee jerk? idiots on the radio talking about how horrible (not great, but definitely not HORRIBLE) he played and how they got smoked in the first preseason game and how it's *likely* that he's going to announce his retirement today. this is an ESPN radio station mind you... that's junior high journalism.

im sitting in the car thinking "wow, these guys are looking for ANYTHING to make a big deal about, he's definitely NOT retiring right now"

was this ever a concern? honestly? it's almost worse than a door-to-door vacuum salesman.

[MJZiggy]

I'm so glad I was busy this morning. The thought of retirement never once crossed my mind...and I don't care if it is called the Rumormill, retirement is a HELL of a leap from "is holding a press conference."

[Homer Jay]

I understand Brett Favre is going to have a press conference next Wednesday, August 23rd. What do you think that is all about? I can't get any Packer team official to deny his pending retirement announcement, so, I'm confident he will announce his retirement next Wednesday. If this is true, remember you heard it from me first. If it is not true, I don't know what you're talking about.

Good Homer Jay, but not quite. Favre has been holding PCc every two weeks in training camp. Please bring back this rumor next week.

Even that bastion of stat nerdiness footballoutsiders fell for this one. Clearly we need a BrettFavre TV channel, just to be careful. Madden and bulldog can announce.
