[Starman]

Oh my word, hand me the smelling salts. : : :

 

[Bubbler]

C'mon Starman, it's a worthy angle.

As for Favre himself, I'm as big a Packer fan as there is, but pretty please, with sugar on it, hurry the **** up and **** or get off the pot. Retire or keep playing, but don't drag the ****ing thing out. It makes you look like a drama queen asshole.

 

[Evil ... Thy name is Orville Redenbacher!!]

I thought there were already reports (from a few weeks ago) America's greates living quarterback was leaning toward playing next year?

 

[mike311gd]

Yeah, published last week.

He'll be back next year. He's not going to retire with that last pick hanging over his head.

 

[Football_Bat]

With the No. 30 pick in the NFL Draft, the Green Bay Packers select ....

 

[Chef]

Yeah, published last week.

He'll be back next year. He's not going to retire with that last pick hanging over his head.

I would agree with that.

 

[Fenian_Bastard]

Yeah, published last week.

He'll be back next year. He's not going to retire with that last pick hanging over his head.

Jesus god, was that a stupid play.

 

[Captain_Kirk]

I'd rather hear about this than a non-stop, two week unabashed deification of him leading up to the Super Bowl.

 

[Football_Bat]

Well, that's exactly what we're gonna get with Brady anyway.

 

[Trouser_Buddah]

Yeah, published last week.

He'll be back next year. He's not going to retire with that last pick hanging over his head.

Jesus god, was that a stupid play.

A stupid play? He underthrew it...

A bad play? Of course....

 

[mike311gd]

Yeah, published last week.

He'll be back next year. He's not going to retire with that last pick hanging over his head.

I would agree with that.

Who thought Tom Glavine was going to retire after his pitiful last outing with the Mets? No Hall-of-Famer wants to walk off the field for the last time like a fool. No player does. Had Favre lost in the Super Bowl, I could see him walking. But not like this.

 

[Batman]

Yeah, published last week.

He'll be back next year. He's not going to retire with that last pick hanging over his head.

That thing, from a philosophical and physics standpoint, was hanging for quite some time.

 

[Fenian_Bastard]

Yeah, published last week.

He'll be back next year. He's not going to retire with that last pick hanging over his head.

Jesus god, was that a stupid play.

A stupid play? He underthrew it...

A bad play? Of course....

What's he doing going downfield anyway? Dink and dunk it to the 40 and let your kicker win the game.

 

[pallister]

Well, that's exactly what we're gonna get with Brady anyway.

Brady has three times as many rings as Favre, about to be four times as many. He deserves the deification much more.

 

[Rumpleforeskin]

Does anyone else think Brett Favre has been a very overrated playoff quarterback since his last Super Bowl against the Broncos?

Favre is 188-of-307 which comes out to about a 60 percent completion rate, but he normally doesn't throw the ball to his own team. He has thrown 18 interceptions as compared to 15 touchdowns (6 INTs against St. Louis). He's made terrible choices in those games (throw vs Philadelphia that led to the Eagles winning the 4th-and-26 game, throw yesterday against the Giants, etc) and is 3-6. He has also had only two games that are over a 70 QB rating.

 

[Armchair_QB]

I laugh at Brett Favre's postseason QB rating.

 

[Chi City 81]

;D

 

[pallister]

At least Grossman saved his "What the **** are you thinking?" game-deciding pic for the Super Bowl. Guess Favre couldn't wait that long.

 

[crimsonace]

A stupid play? He underthrew it...

A bad play? Of course....

The stupid play was his pick against Philly a few years back.

That one was just bad.

 

[Pancamo]

A stupid play? He underthrew it...

A bad play? Of course....

The stupid play was his pick against Philly a few years back.

That one was just bad.

And the horse**** throw that McQuarters intercepted and fumbled.

Did anyone see if Peter King's tears froze to his fat cheeks after the loss?
