It Needs A Bow Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 According to Favre, he hasn't decided to retire at all this year. He made a statement saying that if he was physically healthy enough to play, he would. Granted, he's still stringing the media along ensuring we'll never hear the end of him--- but this year, he actually hasn't uttered the word "retire." Personally, I think it's a bit late to be "deciding" whether or not you'll play in 2010, but hey, anything to skip those pesky training sessions, right?

Jigga Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 The funny thing to me is that Brat is actually a holdout right now, and no one has said a word about it. Like him, love him, hate him or whatever, the guy is actually under contract, but not in camp. So, I fully expect to hear fatmouths like Mike Golic and Mark Schlereth, and the other mouthbreathers to start criticizing Brat like the other training camp holdouts.

Doesn't it have a clause in it stating he's welcome back if he wants for the second year. JETS|PACK|JAYS|NUFC|BAMA|BOMBERS|RAPS|ORANJE| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, he is just holding out of announcing his comeback just so he can skip training camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 If everyone is so upset about Brett Favre's antics then they should just buy ESPN and put all this talk to bed. The way some act so outraged by what a pay cable channel does absolutely blows my mind. It's to the point where it actually makes the people who bitch about What they see on TMZ or read in the Enqirer look sane. Just stop it already and enjoy that it's almost football season. It's like many fans have turned into wives....Ignoring ESPN isn't nearly as effective as it should be when every other sports media outlet also breathlessly covers the story.CNN spent a segment of one of their shows on Favre. It's freaking everywhere.Because the public is eating it up. I came into my office today and three of my co-workers were having a heated argument about him. And they're all Giants fans.We may be sick of it, but the general public isn't. Or they are but love to complain about it and can't turn away. In either case, the blame lies not with the media.

People aren't always unthinking recepticles for programming - there's a reason the Favre story continues to lead, and it isn't just ESPN looking for an angle. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

rams80 Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 A-Rod had the misfortune/fortune to hit 599 whilst we were still coping with BP. One crisis at a time please.
