Brett Favre is likely finished...

mauboy · 02-02-2005, 09:26 AM

It was great watching Favre play against my beloved Vikings. He will be missed. He did a lot of good things for football in his lifetime! Without him the NFC Central will not be the same.

(This is based on the fact that my local GB station said he was retiring...If I'm wrong, I'm sorry; bring it back next year).

It seems like he retires every year.

sw33t, Doug Pedersen could take over and lead Green Bay back to greatness.

I would heartily recommend bringing David Whitehurst out of retirement.

If he truly is retiring, he'll be missed. He's easily one of the most prominent NFL players that Joe Couch Potato can identify with.

Somewhere though, I have this instinct that says he's too much like Roger Clemens - his fire burns so hot for the game that he won't stay retired for long.

Brett Favre always says he's retiring this time of year. Once he gets less sore, he comes back.

Even if he does retire, Doug Pedersen is a franchise quarterback with clutch intangibles. While his arm is a strong as my 90 year old grandma's, he makes up for that weakness with his magical superpowers.

Jestor · 02-02-2005, 01:15 PM

Pedersen sucks and so does Nall.

Sherman ****ed up by not getting another quarterback in the last draft.

B.J. ****ing Sander in the 3rd round! and then the asshat doesn't even win the starting job.

Note: I'm not a Packers fan, but an Eagles fan born and raised in Packer country

As a Vike fan I will relish Favre going out on a loss to the Vikings in Green Bay.

How about Lynn Dickey or, heck, even Randy Wright? Perhaps someone can persuade "Majik" that he can give it another go. In that way, the Favre Era will be just a footnote. "Favre? Wasn't he the guy who played QB in between the Majkowski years?"

Then again, I'm not sure anyone can compete with Doug.

Just read on CBS website that Brett Favre's brother thinks he'll return:

The Green Bay Post-Gazette reports Scott Favre, the older brother of Brett Favre, believes his younger sibling will return in 2005. "Right now, if you ask me, I'd say I'm pretty sure that he's coming back," Scott Favre said. This comes one day after Packers WR Donald Driver said he thinks Favre will retire.

So Emmitt Smith and Brett Favre should get together, have a few drinks, and discuss whether or not they're REALLY retiring.

^^^^^ quality

I think Favre will come back for another season and the packers will draft a QB early for Favre to mold and then take over the team.

With the difference that Brett was a genuinely likeable guy.

kingcharlesxii · 02-03-2005, 01:16 AM

Man if Gload switched to football, he'd double up Peyton Manning's TD record by week 8.

Yup, always liked Favre...

Jason Moyer · 02-03-2005, 01:05 PM

BRING BACK AKILI SMITH

He's more clutch than Gload.

I'd go as far as to say he's the only NFL player I would be a fan of. Although Culpepper I'm starting to like. (Yes, my two favorite teams are the Vikings and Packers, sue me).

SUED!!! Yuk

Anyway CULPEPPER is an easy guy to root for. Good guy with an amazing story with his adoption and whatnot. Big supporter of adoption and gives tons of money to agencies. Gotta respect that.

I never heard about his adoption or whatever.

All I know is what I see on the field. He seems smart, cool, intelligent and calm.
