Just heard the radio report in Milwaukee (1250).

Brett is returning for the 2007 season. Aaron Rodgers should call Frank Reich for some advice.

 

[redman]

Oh, thank goodness! Now I can exhale!

 

[Aaronstory]

Hell. Yes.

"We have a good nucleus of young players. We were 8-8 last year and that's encouraging."My offensive line looks good, the defense played good down the stretch. I'm excited about playing for a talented young football team."

 

[David Yudkin]

I think it's becoming clear that the only way Favre will retire is if he is physically unable to play.

 

[joatmon]

Now bring in Moss!

Nope, it will be whenever he gets the TD passing record. I think he only needs around 10 more so I suspect next year will be his final year.Favre is really proving to be a complete prima donna and always needs the spotlight on him which is why I believe he's only in it for the records (pass TD's, extending consecutive game streak, etc.)...nothing like making this announcement 2 days before the Super Bowl so the focus turns to him rather than the most important game of the year. This announcement couldn't have waited another week or two.....of course not.

So he gets criticized last year for waiting too long to announce/decide, and now he gets criticized for not waiting long enough.Maybe a committee of fans, players and media can be created as to inform Farve the exact, proper moment to announce his decision for the 2008 NFL season where the timing will not be used to call him a Prima Dona or an attention whore.

you really don't think there's any correlation to his announcement being this close to the Super Bowl?I know it would've just killed him to wait one more week right.

I think its pretty much an unwritten rule that Super Bowl week is for the Super Bowl teams. Even Jerry Jones won't hire a HC until after the game.

Yep, he's such a media whore he announced it in an exclusive interview with that media powerhouse that is the Sun-Herald. Give me a break.

Who actually thought he was going to retire?

Glad to hear he is coming back though.

 

[lions327]

Oh goodie, we get another year of seeing Madden, Salisbury, and the others gush over his greatness.

Favre and Jeff Garcia are the same age, why don't people say this about him? Trent Green is also close? I remember people doing the same thing to Troy Aikman.

 

[Bri]

he seems like a wasted draft pick now

Good for Brett

Bad for football fans

 

[The Shizzle]

Something isn't right here. This is WAY too early for an answer.

BTW,

If last years team was the best, this team is going to be unbelievable!!!

what?people make announcements during SB week so that they will fly under the radar and get shuffled to the back page amidst the all the hoopla.if he waits 2 weeks it will be on SportsCenter for 30 minutes every 2 hours and it will be on sports radio for 3 hours a day for a week.this announcement came up and Herd talked about it for 2 minutes.

Favre is still as good as or better than 1/2 the QB's in the league.

no presser, no ESPN interview, no appearance in the booth at the Super Bowl.he announced it to a little local newspaper in Mississippi.

He is probably a David Carr fan.

Maybe it's because Jeff Garcia and Trent Green aren't drama queens like Favre.

I don't think more than 3 guys had more picks than him either. That's not a good season. That's a poor season. Many people like to hang onto what he used to be though, and don't want to see him retire. I understand that.

And David carr ranked 15th and continued his 100% TOTAL QB SUCKINESS with his 5th straight LOSING season. So what is your point? Fact is, QB rating is meaningless.

Seems kind of sad when the play of one of the greatest QB's of all time has to be defended with "He is not one of the worst QB's in football, he's average" or "Hey, he's just as good as J.P. Losman!".

Over the last 2 years Fave has thrown 1TD and 9INT's against the Bears, been sacked 9 times, and has a 52.3 QB rating. I'm sure Bears fans hope they continue to get "lit up" like that.

You didn't know? Statistics are meaningless to Favre. He's just better.

 

[jeter23]

How does this affect the Randy Moss to GB possibility? I would think it would be more likely with Favre staying. If the Packers could get him fairly cheap, I think it worth the chance. That may not be possible with Al Davis though.

 

[Tough As Nails]

9 years...2 playoff wins. Maybe he'll increase that total by 50% next year. Maybe.

randy Moss to the Packers...what else??

Okay well what about this:He's better than any QB that the Packers could possibly acquire for the 2007 season.
