Favre says it's all a rumor (1 Viewer)

[ScottyFargo]

We all know why you wanted the reports dismissed as simple rumors. It was the same reason that Favre himself tried to call them rumors, deflection.

Seriously, I'll give you credit for being stubborn, but you can give it up now. I understand the frustration of supporting Favre through all the B.S. for the last several offseasons, so take whatever comfort you can in bashing him now. It's his fault, he turned you into this.

Wanted them dismissed...not really...just made the factual statement that they were rumors. At least you admit what I was saying, eventhough you are spinning and trying to claim you knew what I meant.Can you answer the question? I did not figure you would.

I will only bash his waffling since March.

You must think this is an argument you can win because you called them rumors because they were unverified by a named source. What was your point in trying to be consistent with calling them rumors? Did you not know that we all could consider them as rumors? Well, thank you for the vocabulary lesson, I now know exactly what a rumor is. That's an accomplishment you can take pride in in the face of the fact that you were wrong.You wanted it discounted. You demanded to know the names. You pointed out Chris Mortenson as being incorrect about Eli Manning's injury last year.

These are the actions of a man in denial. And now that you know the score, you want Favre benched, or traded to Miami where he will finish his career in obscurity. Who's being real here? You really don't think you're as transparent as cellophane? Get over it.

I don't care if I win or not...just exposing your ignorance.Umm...they were rumors because they were unverified...that is the very definition of a rumor...what about that don't you understand?

Apparently you don't know what a rumor is since you claimed the statements I made in this thread and in others over the last week were all wrong.

I asked the names when people made a claim that it was a source close to Brett (when that had not been stated by any of the reporters at the time). Again...take something in context.

I pointed out that not all rumors are true...that Mortenson has a history of indeed being wrong...meaning very simply to let it play out.

Now that it is a fact he is wanting to return..I am not handing him the reigns to the team.

Looks like you need to get over it...you post an awful lot about Favre for a Vikings fan who claims to not even want him on your team.

Ah...so you're really just going to play that card. You called them rumors because they were rumors,not because in your heart of hearts you didn't want Favre to come back and make you look stupid for arguing how unlikely his return would be for the last four months. Very balanced of you.

 

[sho nuff]

No, you were only posting that he wouldn't come back to play in every other thread since he retired. Back in March. So he made you wrong, like, a lot over this.

OMFG I just caught that! Did you really, really think that and then type it out? GOOD GOD. I think people just love to jump on things like that though...its hilarious at all of the denial and hate towards factual statements...

You're the one in denial man! You've been in denial this whole time! It's time to step out from the dark!

Where did I post that he would not come back and play in the last week once these rumors started? Please quote it.No doubt I am wrong about saying it back in March...never have denied that. But that is not what this crap is about...its about your spin after the fact and blasting me for calling a rumor a rumor.

Yes...people love to jump on things like this on message board and twist the meaning.

Someone speculates...someone else claims its a rumor or opinion...immediately people jump and try to argue that the 2nd person in this example was calling the first person wrong or taking the other side of that opinion. Its not what happened. Its that simple.

No denial at all. Simple factual statements that you cannot refute.

What a shame that your intentions to keep journalism clean by decrying the rumors as unverified was only met by the truths, the facts of the situation that they were 100% accurate.

Ummm...my statements were factual when they were spoken...the others were speculation that turned out to be true.For some reason, you think only one side can be right in this.

Nowhere did I claim the reports were false...if you think I did so...find it...post the quote and link and I will gladly admit to being wrong...until then, you are on the losing side of this argument with your claims.

Dude.

I will back down as soon as they quite mischaracterizing what I have said. It does not look like any of them are willing to do so...so I will just keep barraging them with facts.

Yes...I am going to call them rumors.In my heart of hearts I wish he would have never retired in the first place. I am a huge Packers and Favre fan.

I made the claims that they were rumors because...get this...that is what they were. You simply cannot refute that fact.

Get your head out of your hind end and see what was actually said rather than what you believe I meant and intended with my words. I have already admitted being wrong about how unlikely I thought his return was prior to last week. Not sure what else you need here. But you are dead wrong about my intentions.

It's just a rumor that he was wrong, it hasn't been confirmed yet. We are still waiting on a clear definition of a rumor and what it exactly means to be wrong.

Seriously, did you see Favre in that interview talking in third person and suggesting what everyone else should say? I could hardly understand it. I think he has multiple personalities or just does not freaking know what to do with himself if he is not playing football. He's had that helmet on so long I think he still hears the play-calling in his head trying to tell him what to do with his non-football life. (not to take anything away from the HOF'r he is)

Why are people defending or surprised at his actions? Favre is just another spoiled pro athlete who thinks he is above everyone and everything else.....

While I don't agree at all with the way Favre handled this whole situation, this is the way the Packers should handle this IMO. Brett Favre is far better even now than Aaron Rodgers can ever hope to be. Favre gives the Packers the best shot at winning now and if the chips fell right, maybe even lead them to the Super Bowl. I did say maybe. Rodgers may end up being a good NFL QB, but IMO he'll never be a great one and certainly no Brett Favre. You've got 2 rookies on the team to groom, and I think Brohm can be every bit as good as Rodgers. Let Brett come back as your starter and trade Rodgers while he has value and to allow him time to learn a new team's system. He deserves that much at least. Ideally Brett will play 2 more years and then Brohm will be ready to take over. Problem solved.
