Favre...I beg you (1 Viewer)

[sho nuff]

Nice....solid confidence shown in Tarvaris and Sage when you are doing that much to get the guy.I think it goes beyond Chilly's claim that if you have a chance at Favre you pursue it a bit.

The good news for the Vikings is that neither one of these guys had the starting job to begin with so they would have had to earn it anyway - at least now without Favre they have something to work for, instead of just being the backup guy.

True...just as much of a position that requires confidence and being strong mentally...if nothing else you will know for sure how those 2 can handle the pressure now.

Leave Sho alone, he is being reasonably reasonable given his shock after being so sure Favre was just trying to get the media attention and had already decided to play for Minnesota when he asked the Jets for his release. He is simply unprepared for the reality that health was actually the key issue...

Umm...come on now. You have been reasonable and shown that you can disagree with me without making it personal unlike the other ook...but wher was I so sure he was just trying to get media attention?As for already deciding to play for Minny once he asked his release from the Jets...its clear it was his goal if his body could hold up that he was going there if he could. Not sure how you dispute that.And what in my comments have I said that has shown I am not prepared for the reality that health was the issue in him not coming back?

Sorry Sho, I was teasing; it was not meant as a personal attack. And I did suggest he leave you alone...

 

[ookook]

I think the best bet for Minny is to make Jackson the starter with a short leash. Barring an amazing pre-season showing, I really don't see Sage to do better than Tarvaris if his development as continued.

 

[Ray_T]

well guys, I think hes actually decided he is done.

but we wont know for sure until camp is done.

the question now becomes: Does Green Bay go after another QB? or stick with the ones they have?

 

[sho nuff]

I think GB sticks with what they have.

I don't think they want to lose Brohm or the potential there just yet and so far Flynn has outdone him.

I guess its possible they could move Flynn...but I think that might be next year if he has a good preseason. They will likely never get enough value from Brohm for where they drafted him. Flynn as a 7th rounder could actually get them some more trade value.

 

[Phurfur]

Phurfur.....Wrong.....you were also told by other people that Favre DID NOT hold press conferences during Super Bowl week for many years. It happened once but you stated he did it for several years.

That was it. Why do you deny you're a hater? It's ok to admit it.

You were owned so quit making stuff up.

You wrote....."He did hold more post season press conference that any other player I know and he always seemed to make announcements during SB week."

Even sho nuff knew that Favre didn't hold these multiple announcements during Super Bowl week.

You sir....have been really

Wow, thanks for digging that up. These were your replies to that post:

I'd like to have you tell us about all those announcements you claim he made during the past Super Bowl weeks, too.

I'll be waiting for you to tell us about all those announcements Favre made during the past Super Bowl weeks.

And a lot of it was directly from the Peter King article...yet some still think King is worth something.

 

[Tom Servo]

That's the maddening part of Favre, and the part that makes fans hate his waffling. The fact that he'll keep throwing the ball at Oak Grove (Miss.) High — just down the street from his home — and continue working out is going to fan the flames that he's not done. He knows that. "I'll toss the ball around, but I ain't tossing it to keep in shape to play,'' he said.In other words, Favre knows he can't play anymore, but he'll happily go toss the ball in public just to keep the very last rays of media glare on him. That way, when November rolls around, he can again go talk to King and say, "Now I'm really done." Then he can cry, and he can once again strain, against all odds, to portray himself as a sympathetic figure. It's insane. I'm supposed to feel bad that this ####### is too old to play? Us fans never got to play in the NFL. Why the #### should we feel bad if the Land Baron can't squeeze out one last, ####ty, 18th year? Oh, you still want to play, butcha just can't? Congrats, #######. You're every old ####### athlete, only you want a pity party for it.

Pretty much sums it up for me.

Another part of that article:

Favre lobbied hard for the Jets to release him so that he could entertain an offer from the Vikings to play. That was all his doing. Then, he strung the Vikings along for as long as possible until he decided that A) He was too tired to play, and B) He was unwilling to do all things necessary to prevent himself from being too tired to play (e.g., skipping OTA's). And now, he wants you to know that he's DEVASTATED by this. No, really. You're supposed to feel bad for him because…?

Journalism? It's a blog entry. It doesn't claim to be journalistic. It's a humorous look at one of the most selfish and egotistical men ever to wear an NFL uniform. Lighten up, Francis.

What are you talking about? Did you read what you wrote? You claimed he made announcements during multiple Super Bowl weeks. He did it ONLY ONCE. Since you seem challenged by math here is some help..........multiple means more than once and that is greater than one.

Keep it up because you make yourself look more foolish everytime you post.

That's what he said when he retired from Green Bay too. Many players go through these doubts and desire to play but he did it in a manipulative manner and publicly.

Packers | April 1 is not Favre's deadline

Wed, 29 Mar 2006 19:02:45 -0800

Pete Dougherty, of PackersNews.com, reports the Green Bay Packers have not set an April 1 deadline for QB Brett Favre to make his decision regarding the 2006 season. Some national media outlets have interpreted the April 1 date as a firm deadline and reported it as such. In fact, a source close to the situation said Favre was upset Tuesday night when he saw a report on ESPN that the team has asked for his decision by April 1 when no one from the organization ever has expressed any such deadline to him. When the Packers and Favre's agent, Bus Cook, moved back the date of Favre's roster bonus to April 1, they no doubt were hoping to have the situation resolved by then. While the Packers are getting closer to the point where they need to know, they're not there yet or they would have asked Favre for a firm deadline.

The Favre Doomsday Clock! How's this prediction been working for ya?

As many as we have time for. Turns out his legacy might survive all the tarnishing. Seems like someone wassaying back then he will likely be remembered for how he plays on the field...still true.

Come on like the Broncos wouldn't have embraced certain stars from their rivals as long as they could still play and give the team a chance to win. I don't care who they brought in at QB as long as it was an upgrade to what we had and Favre certainly fit the bill. A true blooded Viking fan (like myself) wants to win in the worst way after being so close so many times. The end justifies the means here in my opinion.

Because he is having the best season of his life at 40 years old for the Vikings and has given fans a chance to see the team in the Superbowl. He's won games the team should have lost this season and has played out of his mind.

I know that when the Packers first let Favre go, I was kind of hoping the Bears would have a chance at him (this was pre-Cutler...). If I am a Vikings fan there is little that would give me more pleasure than beating the Packers twice this year with their own legend QB. But that is just me. Seems to me that might even be the ideal scenario for the "true blooded Viking fan".

Right. I'm not sure what that take is about. Favre's easy to like when he plays for a team you support. Easy to dislike when he plays for a rival. Not much more complicated than that.

Nicely said And, by the way, I think the Packers did the right thing, and committed to their guy at the right time. Rodgers is and will be a stud long after we're trying to figure out what to do in a post-Favre world.
