StarsHockey Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 My respect level for Favre has dipped to an all time logo. Over the past few years, it's been "oh yeah, I'll play, or maybe I won't, i don't know" but to finally make a commitment like "retirement" and then "come back". World's biggest PUBLICITY STUNT!PUBLICITY STUNT 98% of people claim to have "brought sexy back." Well, I'm the 2% that never left.Hometown HeroesDallas Stars- Brenden Morrow // Marty Turco // Loui ErikksonDallas Mavericks- Dirk Nowitzki // Jason Kidd // Jason TerryDallas Cowboys- Terrell Owens // DeMarcus Ware // Terence Newman // Felix JonesTexas Rangers- Ian Kinsler // Elvis Andrus // Marlon Byrd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yankeefan38 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Aaron Rodgers could probably go to a few teams and won't get treated like he is here also does this mean the Madden Curse is back in effect? The Madden curse I forgot about that. This should be intresting. Simulation Open Wheel Racing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discrim Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 heh, seeing as I am in the state I am, not much of a shock...the fox station here covered Favre's plane landing in GB...as well as Favre driving away from the airport afterwards...and at the scrimmage they spotted his wife (yup, he was there. not on the field, but he was there). Yeah, Rodgers is walkin after his contract's up...I'll be shocked if he sticks around. Hell, I wouldn't blame him if he asks for a trade (or his release) before the preseason's halfway done. A strong mind gets high off success, a weak mind gets high off bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quantum Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 McCarthy's post-scrimmage session was nice. He seemed pissed, then was emphatic that nothing has been promised to Brett. He alluded to Brett's flip-flopping, then said the public would be informed of the plan following a meeting tomorrow. This crap is just getting started. "One of my concerns is shysters show up and take advantage of people's good will and generosity". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jigga Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Damn...all that time.Why in the couldn't they have reached this decision months ago? As much as I no longer like this God complex having prima donna, he's the best quarterback they have and the Pack should ride him as far as he'll take them. Brett Favre should be Green Bay's QB, not Minnesota's, Chicago's, Tampa's, or New York's. The Pack enabled him and gassed him up to bigger than life, so they need to be the ones to deal with crap.I can't wait until the offseason when Favre retires and comes back another 3-4 times.

illwauk Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 If I'm Aaron Rogers, I slap Brett Favre right in his face, in front of the whole team.Seriously...I feel bad for Rodgers. The team is caving to an irrational minority of unemployed losers who've convinced themselves that Brett is the second coming of Christ and will accept no one but #4 as the Packers QB. After being shunned by Brett for 3 years and promised the starting job, he deserves better. If I were him, I'd demand a trade.Brett Favre should be Green Bay's QB, not Minnesota's, Chicago's, Tampa's, or New York's. The Pack enabled him and gassed him up to bigger than life, so they need to be the ones to deal with crap.Brett was in Green Bay long before anyone in the current administration got there. They've been patiently trying to get rid of him for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSky Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Come on, you guys. Brett's a gunslinger. just having fun out there, playing the game the way it's meant to be played.Since we'll hear that about 25 times this season (after every pick he throws) I thought I'd get it out of the way now. Seriously, he's the selfish jerk in all of this. He whines about the Packers "pushing him" for a decision, why wouldn't they? If he wasn't thinking only of himself, he'd realize they NEED a quick decision because the entire direction of the franchise depends on it. He's been jerking the chains of the organization,. his teammates (especially that poor bastard Rodgers), the fans, the media, and all of us who can't help but hear about this crap every minute of every day...I hope he's horrible this year so maybe he'll go away for good.

They had been held hostage by the Annual Brett-Favre "Will He Or Won't He" Indecision Tour for four years. Can't blame them for being sick of it....however, EVERYONE knew Brett Favre was coming back. Hell, Peyton Manning didn't even send Favre the happy retirement letter that he sends to great quarterbacks as they leave the NFL. If that wasn't a sign, nothing was. Oh, and you forgot to mention Brett's child like enthusiasm for the game... On January 16, 2013 at 3:49 PM, NJTank said: Btw this is old hat for Notre Dame.

FiddySicks Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 So what are the odds that Gruden pulls some tricks and winds up with Green Bay's other QB before the season kicks off?

DDR Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 So...Brett retires and then wants to come back. Forget about all the other drama. That's the bottom line.Michael JordanMagic JohnsonReggie WhiteLance ArmstrongRoger ClemensGeorge ForemanBob CousyAll athletes that retired, only to come back. Big deal. This happens all the friggin' time. Besides the "they said, he said" crap, that's really all this is. Why is he so selfish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFoA Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Thing is, it's basically as if Brett Favre didn't retire. He just skipped the OTAs and minicamps, basically. It's officially a 'retirement,' but who are we kidding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 How much money has been taken out of Aaron Rogers' pocket due to Favre's selfishness. Dude would likely have either already gotten an extension, or scored a big free agent contract this offseason if not for Favre's indecisiveness. If the Packers knew Favre would've been playing through 2008, they wouldn't have drafted Rogers, who would have been picked somewhere else and had his opportunity. Now, dude is going to be a free agent with zero resume behind him. Forget about slapping, if I'm him, I stab Favre in the throat with a broken beer bottle. Management too, since they're as much to blame. "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."
