Brett Favre

[Walkoff Balk]

Should Brett Favre stay retired, return to the Packers or play for another NFL team, or make a guest appearance on Something About Mary2?

[kani-lehua]

he should make an appearance on something about mary2!

Brett Favre gets criticized for changing his mind. When you're a quarterback, that's called making an audible against the defense. Peyton Manning changes his mind on every play.

But you don't see Peyton retiring anytime soon.

[kani-lehua]

could we just stop all the crying? um, i'm referring to brett baby.

The Green Bay Packers are accusing the Minnesota Vikings of tampering for talking with Brett Favre. Why are the Packers ****blocking Brett Favre when he wants to score with another team?

Because if they can't have Favre, then no one should. At least that's how I would feel if I'm a Packers' executive suit.

Besides, with all the money we're giving top-rated athletes, the least they could do is act like they submitted their will to whoever signed their contract and pay them, until that contract is expired.

Cause, Ever Move Favre Makes,
Ever Breath He Takes,
We Will Be Watching Favre.

The Green Bay Packers iin this Brett Favre drama are acting like a jealous ex-boyfriend who doesn't want her to date anyone else, or the not as attractive friend of the hot woman who ****blocks any guy from hooking up with her.

I hate to be Coach McCarthy right now. I expect the press conference tomorrow will contain someone throwing stinky cheese at the idiots who traded Favre away.

This is the football equivalent of the infamous trading of Babe Ruth.

OMG Random. Never thought of it that way. Could it be 60 years till the next Green Bay Championship?

Speaking as someone who is a Packer Backer, I would say that the trade was in the interests of both parties. Favre gets an opportunity to be a starter. As much as Brett may claim to bleed green and gold, he did not want to spend the 2008 season as a back-up.

The Pack gets a 3rd/4th round draft pick, that could rise as high as a 1st round pick, depending on Favre's performance. But most importantly, Favre will not be playing for an NFC North divisional rival. Believe you me, Brett playing for the Jets instead of the Vikings/Bears makes the deal significantly more palatable to even the most ardent pro-Favre cheesehead.

And if fans are going to take their frustrations out on anybody within the Packer organization, it would be at GM Ted Thompson rather than McCarthy.

This is the football equivalent of the infamous trading of Babe Ruth.

I agree with you,..... but perhaps not in the same way you may be thinking.

The Falcons trading a 22 year old Brett Favre to the Packers was the equivalent of the Red Sox selling a young Babe to the Yankees. The Packers trading a 38 year old Favre to the Jets is likewise the equivalent of the Yankees unloading the old Bambino on the Braves.

Aw! Brett Favre is traded to the New York Football Jets. I wanted him to go to the Vikings. The tv ratings would be big for the home opening between the Packers and the Vikings. I wonder if the NFL commissioner wanted Favre going to the biggest market of NY or have more NFL drama with Favre in Minnesota.
I saw on ESPN the ten biggest Favre plays. They showed his first playoff win at Detroit on a last minute touchdown pass to Sterling Sharpe. Was the Detroit Lions in the playoffs once?

[lavagal]

Broadway Brett? Just as long as he doesn't pose for Cosmo magazine!!!

[Mike_Lowery]

Favre cries like a little b!&@# and the media pities him and villifies the Packers. Terrell Owens cries and he's lynched in the media. What the hell is going on?

[Leo Lakio]

What the hell is going on?Call it ...
Favre-tism.

[Mike_Lowery]

Call it ...

ba-dunk CRASH!!!!!! :D

I immediately thought about Madden 09 about to hit stores next week because the cover displayed Favre in his Packers jersey.

Well, looks like they won't re-print the cover, but people can download and print a copy of the updated cover (Jets jersey and all) courtesy of EA Sports! (http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/2008/08/07/ea-madden-brett-favre/) :rolleyes:

Get up-to-the-minute rosters from your EA Sports locker. You're better off if you have an Xbox 360.

Still deciding which console to buy. I'm more of a PC gamer than console.

Brett Favre is going to The Jets? Does he know the words to You Got It All? Didn't one of the members of the musical group The Jets married former UH football player Al Noga?

Yeah, the Jets are about as popular as the Mets, eh? ;)

Brett's Jets now have a chance at the divisional title now that Tom Brady might be out for the year.

Brett the Jet got manhandled by the Chargers tonight. 4 sacks or more, coupla picks, and some drops (by the defense,,,,,hahaha)

Chargers looked for real tonight. Finally. My favorite thing about San Diego is that there is always more Raider fans there than Chargers fans. It's like a home-away-from-home field advantage.

See ya next week.

Looking more and more like Brett is going to end his career on a low note with an unfamiliar team. It happens to the best of 'em, like Unitas (Chargers), Namath (Rams), and Montana (Chiefs).
