Re: Obama, he is campaigning for a much more vital position to all Americans. Favre is simply a retired quarterback.

I'm just glad to have any thread that wasn't started by spinning.

HATTIESBURG, Miss. (AP) -- Still-retired Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre got out of bed on the left side this morning, then had a severe case of flatulence, a source close to the family said.
According to the source Favre, whose on-again, off-again musings on his own retirement have captivated the nation in recent weeks, marveled at the smell of the flatulence.
"He said it smells like roses. Personally, I think it smelled like ass. Especially when he waved his hand to fan it around," said the source, who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity.
Favre could later be seen riding a tractor around his Mississippi property. At one point, he stood up and scratched his crotch. After taking a moment to look around for visitors, Favre also scratched his buttocks and put his hand up to his nose. It was unclear from his reaction whether it smelled like roses or the freshly cut grass that surrounds his magnificent Hattiesburg estate, but it did bring a smile to his face.
Later, Favre strolled around the grounds tossing a football with some neighborhood children while a golden retriever ran laps around them. Favre also had what appeared to be steak and eggs for breakfast, and a light lunch consisting of a ham sandwich and potato salad. Afterward, he was seen entering his bathroom with a USA Today tucked under his arm.
Favre spoke to Fox News' Greta Van Susteren in his first public comments about his feud with the Packers earlier this week. Another media blitz is to follow in the coming days, agent Bus Cook said. Favre is scheduled to appear on "Larry King Live", "The Rachel Ray Show" and "The Montel Williams Show" before the end of the week.
Although his appearance on Williams' show is expected to deal with his mid-1990s addiction to painkillers and his inspiring recovery, the Associated Press has obtained from Cook an approved list of questions for his chat with King scheduled for Friday night. Among the questions:
• "Why is Ted Thompson being such a jerk?"
• "Who would win in a fight -- you or Aaron Rodgers?"
• "You play the game with such zeal and passion. What has turned you into the best quarterback ever?"
• "Will you sign this football for me?"
• "Don't the Packers know this could be your next-to-last comeback? Why won't they let you play them twice a year?"

Too bad Matt Ryan already signed that big deal, that way Favre could go back to his FIRST NFL team.

Interesting item on Favre's Wikipedia page:

Favre was drafted by the Atlanta Falcons in the second round, 33rd overall in the 1991 NFL Draft. Atlanta coach Jerry Glanville did not approve of the drafting of Favre, saying it would take a plane crash for him to put Favre into the game. Favre's first pass in an NFL regular season game resulted in an interception returned for a touchdown. He only attempted four passes in his career at Atlanta, completing none of them.

It took O.J. Simpson one night to destroy everything he had done on the field, and on the screen.

All those people cheering the not guilty verdict beg to differ.

All those people cheering the not guilty verdict beg to differ.

But look at how he has been perceived since that verdict. No movies, no NFL pregame shows, etc.

Fixed.

I'm a Green Bay fan and by extension Favre fan. I respect what he's done, but I was never blinded by the fact that Pack also lost a great many opportunities because he was such a "gunslinger." Yeah you got skills and can rifle a ball in there, but don't throw it into triple coverage....a quarterback also has to be able to think and make good decisions...something Favre has done later in his career, but then reverts back to old Gunslinger Favre last year against the Giants.

Get over it already. Dude, you told the team you wanted to retire. Its done you're 38 years old, do you think you're going to continue to play injury free?

Batman, that AP story was SOLID.
