The Brett Favre thread.....

[Methanolandbrats]

Favre is acting like a whiney bitch and Packer Fans are sick of it. He had maybe one more year left in him, it was time to move on.

[dando]

Supposedly the Jets have the best offer on the table.

According to one of the many talking heads I heard this AM, his list is the Vikings, Bucs, retirement and then the J-E-T-S. Take that, J-E-T-S fan. :gomer: ;)

Get back to us on that after week 3 and the Pack is 0-3, and then go play the Bucs with Favre @ the helm. :gomer:

I wasn't putting you in with that crowd...I just meant to let us know how Cheesehead Central is gripping once the season starts off poorly. Me thinks they'll be 1-2 when they face the Buccos w/Favre. :) IMO, it's 50/50 that he ends up there or goes back to Miserablesippi.

Alrighty, I'll post the state of things.:)

[Gnam]

If Favre is traded, the QB contorversy won't end. It will just expand to include whichever team he ends up at. Instead of being compared to Rodgers, he'll be compared to Rodgers AND the QB on his new team. This story will continue all season. :shakehead

Yep. If they really believed Favre was done they should've use him to steal a first round pick from the Vikings. If they believed that Favre was capable of embarrassing them, they should've kept him. The only thing worse than a dumb decision, is making things worse by refusing to admit you've made a dumb decision.

why/how would the vikings give up a 1st rounder for Favre? the jets gave the pack a conditional 4th round pick.

"My arm's kind of dragging a little bit today," the quarterback said Wednesday after the Jets' morning session. "It's not really sore, but just fatigued.

...

Since his practice debut, Favre has been on the field for two practices Sunday, one Monday and had a day of classroom work Tuesday.

This is going to be a great year for the Jets! :D

The Brett Favre Network removed this gem from the linked article:


I think maybe this afternoon I’m going to talk to Eric (Mangini) about limiting my throws a little bit (for the afternoon practice).

[RHR_Fan]

No! He's helping the Jets' salary cap situation. Please come back and stick it to them. Even better, please play another season.

Smart move by the Jets to just release him since there's no chance they'd need him/want him. Avoid the potential drama.

That is pretty common. I imagine that will happen when he is really done. I doubt there would be a big press conference, but the very end would likely be him signing a 1-day contract with the Packers.

[Boatdesigner]

That is what I was referring to, only I am not sure if Brett can over his hurt feewings long enough to make it happen.

[dando]

Not so fast, my friend....


http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4142857



Minnesota Vikings head coach Brad Childress and quarterback Brett Favre plan to meet at an undisclosed location later this week to discuss the possibility of the former Packers and Jets quarterback renouncing his retirement from the NFL to play the 2009 season with the Vikings, according to a source with direct knowledge of discussions between the two parties.

There is a mutual understanding that sometime soon thereafter Favre will decide whether to sign with the Vikings. The team would expect him to participate fully in offseason minicamps and training camps, which he missed last year with the Jets.

-Kevin

[Don Quixote]

I hope this happens, just for the comedy and drama. :rofl:

[JLMannin]

Maybe he will go back to college and seek NCAA reinstatement. :shakehead

[dando]

The Herd is reporting that He's Baaaaaaack. 1 year, $12M. Congrats, WB. :rofl: :gomer: :p

EDIT: Report that he's on a plane to Minnie:

[Al Czervik]

http://blogs.chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/rosenblog/

"If the Vikings have already paid for the private jet that Brett Favre is flying to Minnesota, then the Bears should pop for the limo to get the aging, post-op quarterback to Vikings camp to make sure he signs there.

I already had the Chicago Cutlers at 13-3, but that goes to 14-2 as soon as the drama queen becomes a Viking. I mean, it doesn’t get much better for a questionable Bears defense than for Minnesota to bring in a quarterback with a worse rating than Tarvaris Jackson --- true fact --- and compound that with a quarterback who has the credentials to overrule handoffs to Adrian Peterson, whom the Bears can’t tackle. What’s more, Bears coach Lovie Smith beats Favre more than he beats Jackson.

The only way it could get any better for the Bears is if Favre was coached by Charlie Weis. Goodness, even Bob Babich could deisgn a defense to win that game."

"If you’re in Chicago and you’re wringing your hands over Hamlet Favre and the Vikings, you’re an idiot.

If you feel the need to trust Favre or Vikings management, you have no clue.

Look, Vikings players are the only ones obligated to trust Favre and Vikings management, and they have no reason to trust either, which could fester in a locker room, which is exactly --- exactly, do you hear me? --- what people in Chicago should want.

People in Chicago should want the best team in the division to have an aging quarterback who still thinks he can audible out of running plays to a guy the Bears have tackled, I don’t know, once this millennium.

People in Chicago should want the best team in the division to start a quarterback who’s post-operative, injured on top of that, and over the last couple seasons has thrown the most fourth-quarter interceptions when his team is down a touchdown.

Listen, if you’re from around here and you’re looking for people to distrust, try the Bears head coach who told you that BFF Bob Babich was a good idea, the same guy who orchestrated a phony-baloney quarterback derby last summer, the same guy who bucked down Alex Brown in favor of wlecome mat Mark Anderson, and the same guy who apparently wants to wreck Danieal Manning’s career by having him play every position on the field (left tackle ought to be a hoot).

Oh, and let’s not forget that the Bears head coach is one of the brainiacs who decided to eliminate the greatest return weapon in the game, if not the greatest ever, by putting him at a position where he looks more lost than a BFF at defensive coordinator. . . ."

I'm not going to link to it because even the URL is quite NSFW, but the kind folks at Deadspin alerted us this morning to the fact that Favre likes to take pics of his, um, Crocs. I suspect his retirement may well take this time.

Good luck getting the imagery out of your heads. :saywhat:

[TRDfan]

Been a Viking fan my whole life. Up until a few years ago I had a ton of respect for Farve. After the drama they cooked up last year, I packed up my Vikings gear and took the season off. (Sunday afternoon fall golf with the boys was great)

I was prepared to watch this year if Farve played, but probably not with the same intensity. Now with more of this BS, it looks like more rounds on the links.

Favre reportedly set to confirm return to Vikings (http://www.chicagobreakingsports.com/2010/08/report-vikings-send-three-to-visit-favre.html)

The NFL Network is reporting that Favre was flying to Minnesota on Tuesday afternoon, and all signs indicated he will announce his return to the Vikings.

[stroker]

how does his wife put up with that?

"I thought you were going to the store."

"Nah, I just didn't feel like it."

She gets back from shopping and finds him with three bags of groceries:

"I thought you weren't going to the store?"

"I changed my mind. Ross Perot called and convinced me to go."

Our county-wide daily newspaper hosted an online poll last week.

"Do you think Brett Favre will retire?"

:confused: Undecided - 30 %

...which I thought was pretty much the way Brett's feeling, too.

If this wasn't about the money, as Brett "Summer's Eve" Favre says, then why didn't he tell the Vikings to keep the extra 3 mil and use it to fill some roster holes? There are always some great pickups as rosters get the final trim to 53 men.

Doesn't really matter since there isn't a cap this season.

-Kevin

[WickerBill]

There's always a cap -- perhaps not league mandated, but a number the owner isn't willing to cross. If not about the money, Favre could have generated a chunk of goodwill and also helped his team be more successful by telling the owner to spend that money on the 53, not #4.

T-minus 2 hours to Brett.

The best part is after he plays for five minutes he'll be available for interviews and commentary all night long. :p
