Favre

[MAJ Havoc]

Should he stay or should he go?

[MAJ Havoc]

I think he should hang up his cleats. We've seen jocks stick around too long and others leave and return and make no impact. John Elway did it right. So did Jerome Bettis. Not everyone can leave on a Superbowl high note but sometimes it better just to leave. Anyone remember Emmitt Smith as a Cardinal? No? Reggie White with the Carolina Panthers? Hmm? I think Favre could only make his exit more forgettable if he came back. And it's unfair to Green Bay who has been patiently waiting for him to step down because no one wanted to "break the streak."

He's a first ballot Hall of Famer but he needs to take a step down to get to Canton. Trade in that jersey for a broadcast booth blazer and await your induction, Brett.

Come on really? He threw for over 4000 yards last year with a less than stellar supporting cast. If they would have pursued Randy Moss like he pushed them to, he would have gotten his ring last year and been done. Its GBs fault for getting all jew when it comes down to putting their money where their mouth is. How bad is it to go after some upper level talent. Not just Moss, but at) too. Favres arm has made a lot of defenses play real honest, and less than average RBs have gotten yards, exploit that shit. The man can throw a football 60 yards, flat footed.

Fuck green bay, I used to like them. A small town NFL team with a college atmosphere. It was family not a business. The whole town shuts down on gameday. Now they are just a bunch of snivelling pussies like all the other teams. Send his ass back to Atlanta, Matt Ryan needs the tutilage (sp?) And Favre can kick hell out of GB in the winter. That's what their punk asses are worried about. If you release a QB and he comes back and they show your game on 'Punkd' then you get what you deserve. Man up and admit he's better at 38 than anyone else you got on the team (at QB) and Aaron Rogers is a punk collecting a paycheck praying that Favre doesn't get hurt.

He's had a good run, it's time for some new blood methinks.

Also, I hope Randy Moss dies in a terrible manner.

Like in a rabid hampster felching incident?

Schmed, how is it for a GB fan? Is Brett holding them hostage with this reinstatement? Is AAron Rodgers being strung along? Do you think he'll ask for a trade if Favre comes back?

I have no comment on this...well I have tons but I'm opting to stay mostly quiet.

Im not sure what spin they are going to put on it, but it looks like the Pack were commited to aaron rogers until the first week of camp. Looks like he stunk it up and now they are in holy crap mode. Favre will pass him on the depth chart in a matter of days. Its not a contest when its a pro bowler who threw for over 4k yards last year and a young guy that really hasnt done anything.

I understand their annoyance at Favre, especially when the pissed away a draft pick on another QB, but they only have themselves to blame for not allowing him the time to decide for himself what he wants to do. They should have asked him, "Hey we are thinking about picking up another QB in the draft, if you are thinking of coming back we can use that pick somewhere else" Favre would have retorted, "save your QB pick for Matt Stafford next year, then I wont have a chance to get my job back..." ( :) ) yea I know. .. . ..

But Stafford is a Favre type QB. He has no 'lob' 5ft or 60yards its a bullet. They cant pick it off if it breaks their fingers.... :)

[MAJ Havoc]

Why the holdout, Schmed? Awaiting a new contract? I won't forward this to Brett. You can tell me.

Anyway, he's on the roster for now. Looks like #4 will continue his streak. I understand A-Rod stunk it up in the intrasquad scrimmage. Maybe he should go to Minnesota.

[MAJ Havoc]

This just in:

Early this morning, Brett took a piss, then 30 minutes later a poop. Later in the morning, he leaned to one side and cut a Fatre.

More to follow in this saga.

[phatboy]

So looks like he walked out of practice today about 3. Something about not wanting to be a distraction and stuff then being tricked into something he wasnt wanting...yadda yadda...

[MAJ Havoc]

B-R-E-T-T, Brett! Brett! Brett! is going to the J-E-T-S, Jets! Jets! Jets!

Looks like Chad Pennington will be looking for work.

[phatboy]

Im sure the falcons will pick him up......

Im glad to see brett out of GB, wish he had went somewhere like Miami or TB. Then I could have seen him play in Atl against the falcoons.

Oh well. I will check there schedule and see if the Jets are on it (Im sure they are not).....

[MAJ Havoc]

The terms of the deal are:
Brett for a 4th round pick, unless.....
he takes 50% of the snaps, then it's a 3rd round pick, unless....
he takes 70% of the snaps and the Jets make the playoffs, then it's a 2nd round pick, unless...
he takes 80% of the snaps and the Jets make it to the Super Bowl, then it's a 1st round pick.

If he does well, Green Bay still can benefit. If he stinks, they benefit by having made the trade. But one can't say that a Super Bowl appearance is a good trade for a 1st rounder, yet to be determined.

It sure makes things more interesting in the League.

[Schmed]

Jet Favre......just a sad end to an amazing career.

[phatboy]

If the Jets trade him I think the fallout clause is 3 first rounders.

I saw that on ESPN.

If they trade him to Minnesota, or I guess any other division rival.

And as shitty as the Jets are without Favre, those would be high picks.

[phatboy]

Do the jets have a team to put around him?

Who's their RB, what WRs do they have? Coles, is he the only one?

He should have went to TB, at least then he'd have some supporting cast, and Jeff Garcia would shower him off after the games....

[phatboy]

Looks like he had to cut some laps yesterday for fumbling a snap. How funny is that, when they report that as 'news'....

[MAJ Havoc]

I'm sure the Jets/Redskins exhibition will grab great ratings (for a quarter).

Jericho Crotchery, Thomas Jones...and I know the Jets just spent some money this off season shoreing up their O line...with Brett at the helm they could go 9-7 this year, possibly even sneak into a wild card spot (which is what I am hopeing for so the Packers get a second round draft pick).

[MAJ Havoc]

In a spinoff result, I'm interested to see what Chad Pennington does in Miami. They are pretty bad but Ricky Williams actually looked fired up in the game against TB. If he a Ronnie Brown share carries, that could take some heat off the QB to make some throws. Dunno how their "D" is since they let Taylor go to the 'Skins, though.

[phatboy]

I think aaron rodgers looked pretty decent last night. He did take a big sack in the first set of downs, but delivered some good passes. They are in a world of hurt if he goes down.

There were a couple of Packers out last night Ryan Grant the most notable (one receiver to, jennings I think) so that will add to the weapons that Rodgers has available.

The Bungles looked pretty good too, if they can keep their team out of jail and play as a unit, and not as a bunch of prima donas.

Miami's D was the only thing that kept them in games last year, and to let the best players go, how retarded is that. Not to mention they have like 5 QBs on the roster.

Pennington is by far the best they got, they should have put some money on getting a new one.

Maybe they're counting on another first overall draft pick. :)

[MAJ Havoc]

I watched the highlight reel again. Green Bay was pumped for the game last night. Some of those guys played with "play-off" intensity despite being in a "meaningless" preseason contest. Receivers breaking tackles and fighting for yards; it seems that they were determined to help A-Rod look good. It looks like they believe in him.

Of course it's too early to tell but Rodgers would have to shine enough to break Favre's shadow be it this year, next, or more down the road whenever Brett finally hangs up his cleats for good.

[phatboy]

It sucks that there is no scheduled games between the two.

The next one is in 2014, so I think (but not 100% sure) that Brett will be retired by then. So the only way it can happen is a Jets GB superbowl..

If that happens, monkeys may fly out of my butt. If not monkeys, then perhaps a couple of gerbils (they're surely ready to depart.)
