For the love of God, Brett, just go away! Can't you hear retirement calling?
Honestly, I couldn't be happier than to watch Fraud, I mean Favre, flush what little positive remains of his image down the toilet. This guy is an egomaniac of the highest order. Worse, he's a lousy teammate who wants to just show up and play, without putting in the time during training camp to build camraderie with his teammates and do the necessary work it takes to win. It's why his Jets teammates couldn't wait to rip him the second last season ended.
The funny thing is, Favre was actually getting sympathy from his media lapdogs for the way Green Bay treated poor, poor little Brett. How dare the Packers ask that the most important player on the team actually put the team first, make a retirement decision in enough time to allow for an offseason strategy, and actually show up to training camp and put in the legwork necessary to not throw more interceptions than touchdowns.
I'm glad the Pack is finally vindicated, becase Favre has shown what he's really about. Let's see his media cronies defend this latest development!
Oh, and Brad Childress...you just signed your walking papers. You'll be out of a job in January, just like you'll be out of the playoffs! Can't wait to see the faces on Adrian Peterson fantasy owners after he's run the ball all the way downfield, only to have Favre throw a pick in the end zone!
That's the view from here...how do you see things?
Are you serious Ted? Brett Favre coming back to the league is the best thing that could have happened to the NFL. All we ever hear about is these players drowning dogs, killing their wives, carrying guns, molesting children, beating strippers, and a lot of other tomfoolery.
And here is a guy who is a class act. A guy who has never killed anybody. A guy who loves his wife and family so much, that he's willing to risk serious injury or perhaps even death by returning to the NFL, in order to provide them with the things that they need. Here is a guy who battled with addiction and won. Here is a man, who when all other athletes are endorsing expensive products by Nike and Reebok, endorses an affordable denim product... Wrangler.
This is the NFL's working class hero. This is Americas working class hero. This is the Bruce Springstein of the NFL.
And you want to put him down for trying to provide for his family?? You should be ashamed of yourself Ted.
PS.. Adriian Peterson will be in prison within the next 2 years
Pretty much completely agree with your assessment. Brett Favre is that kid in Toys R Us who asks for a new bike and every other toy in the store and when mommy and daddy tell him "No" throws a tantrum on the floor until they finally give in. In this case Childress and Zygi Wulf are playing the mommy and daddy...
But, hey, on the bright side it's one less team I have to worry about competing with the Eagles in the NFC! I remember the pick he threw a few years back in a playoff game vs the Eagles where Brian Dawkins stood under it like he was fair catching a punt. Dumb move, Vikings, but thanks. By the time Minnesota gets a real QB Peterson will have so much wear and tear on him that they'll also need a new running back.
Hey Teddy boo-hoo,
You seem to be a real die-hard anti-Favre fan... Can I guess you're also a die-hard Packers fan as well? You're just upset because as soon as Favre left the Packers, they went from an NFC championship contender, to 6-10 and not even making the play-offs. Oh yeah, about last year with the Jets... Do you remember one little detail about Favre? (IObviously not, from the ignorant post you've left up here) The man had a torn bicep... He had to undergo surgery on his throwing arm in order to play again. You're just being a little cry-baby because you know the Vikings are going to win the NFC North easy, and you Packers are once again on a one way trip to a winless season in the NFL.
Heh Brett Farve is doind AMAZING! a 131 pass rating since turning 40
8 to 1 interception ratio and has aslo made superstars out of rice and shancoe and did i mention hes 40!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Brett Favre is the best quarterback of all time. There is no denying that. If you don't like him fine, but you sure as hell better respect him.
Lindsey, let's see if you still feel that way 5 hours from now.
