Report: Brett Favre decides to stay retired (1 Viewer)

[sho nuff]

Although the "streaK' may play a role in such decisions, I think a much bigger role is the offensive system. Favre seems very relectant to play for a team that uses one he is unfamiar with.That is why I think if he were going to play it would have been for Minny.

Agreed...but I think there is also that big time competitive edge he has and wanting to win another title.

B.S. If it were really this competitive edge and wanting another ring, he'd get his butt in with Minnesota and work on the timing. Minnesota has as good a shot as most teams.

I think this is not over yet.

Im talking if the body is willing as well.It seems the body is not able anymore to go through the full grind of a season...but if someone calls part way into the season he would be apt to say yes.

Brett Favre told SI's Peter King Tuesday night that he truly believes his career is over, but he's leaving the door open to a return in the future.

"I truly, truly believe it's over," said football's Hamlet. "But if someone calls Nov. 1, who knows?" Favre plans to keep practicing with Oak Grove High in Mississippi and will continue to work out, though he says it's not with intention of keeping in playing shape. He says he made his decision to jilt the Vikings because he knew he wouldn't enter the season at 100 percent, and that's no way to enter a 16-game grind. Jul. 29 - 12:07 pm et

Favre, Cook leave door open for return

The amount of Brett Favre stories will hopefully decrease in the coming weeks, but they aren't going to stop. At best, the volume will go from unbearable to aggravating.

Favre and his agent Bus Cook made sure of that in their comments made in the aftermath of Tuesday's decision to stay retired. For now.

Cook appeared on Sportscenter Wednesday and would not rule out Favre possibly returning to play for the Vikings at some point this season.

Cook said he "doesn't foresee any of that happening right now."

"By saying no, I know I'm leaving an incredible opportunity on the table, and that opportunity is not coming back.''

Favre knows that's not exactly true. Things change fast in the NFL, and there is no telling what situation could arise that would inspire him to play.

"I really believe this is it. I truly, truly believe it's over. But if someone calls Nov. 1, who knows?''

How many other sitcoms have run since 2002?

As I said in the other thread...and there are some who wonder why people think Favre keeps speculation and other things going fueling the media....

Brett Favre Wants To Let You Know Just How Much He’s Suffered

A sports opinion piece about Favres' interview with Peter King last night. (strong language warning if that matters to you)

"I passed up the greatest chance I could have had right now, and it hurts,'' Favre said.

Oh, no! POOR YOU! YOU DID WHAT YOU WANTED TO DO! WHAT HORRORS! WILL THERE EVER BE A RAINBOW?

"By saying no, I know I'm leaving an incredible opportunity on the table, and that opportunity is not coming back.''

That's right. That chance will never, ever come back, except that Favre then immediately tells King…

"I really believe this is it. I truly, truly believe it's over. But if someone calls Nov. 1, who knows?''

"I'm done. UNLESS I'M NOT, PETER!"

"A lot of people, I know, have been saying, 'Well, you strung the Vikings along. Why the hell couldn't you have told them earlier?' What do you think I was doing? I was trying to figure it out.''

Except that you left the door open to return on November 1st, hoping you can get some sort of Clemens-type arrangement where you only have to play half the season or whatever. This is Favre at his absolute worst: wishy-washy, manipulative, and never acknowledging his own faults. No other player in the history of any sports has milked retirement like Favre has, and he'd like you to believe this is all a completely natural process that anyone should be able to understand. It's a pathetic waste of everyone's time, and I expect more decisiveness from a ####head who never hesitates to throw into triple coverage.

 

[Beefeaters]

Looks like the Vikings allowed themselves to get to the "friend zone" without ever closing the deal and got themselves the "I'm not ready for a relationship right now" objection.He doesn't want to be a Viking, but he's still working out? He'll be with some other team by mid-season.I wonder how this might've turned out differently had the Vikes handled it differently. They looked desparate and pathetic throughout this entire ordeal. When you make yourself look weak and completely unconfident, it doesn't attract people. Shamelessly, pursuing him and begging him to come play on his terms without ever giving the impression that you'd be just fine without him looks weak. It's one thing to pursue and close (see Celtics and Rasheed Wallace), it's another to pursue, let it linger, ruin the confidence of your other QBs to the point that you are screwed if Favre doesn't come back.Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe Favre means it when he says, "It's not you, it's me".

thanks Damone

They probably should've taken some of Damone's advice in this situation. Maybe I'm wrong, but I assume more well-run organizations would've handled this situation differently.

I can't think of anything else the Vikings organization could have done differently. If they were to pursue Favre at all, how could they possilby do so quietly? Sicne Favre wouldn't commit to one way or another until now, they had no choice but to wait for his answer. The Vikings organization rarely commented on it at all expect to acknowledge that they were indeed interested. What exactly did they do wrong in this situation (aside from not having better QB's to begin with)?

Its a good question, and one that has been raised with regard to both the Packers and Jets management in their dealings with Favre the past two years. I think its hard to answer just because of the misinformation and incomplete information surrounding this clown the past two years. However, according to Cris Carter on the M&M show last week, Childress did a poor job of keeping the Vikings QB's informed during the process. If true, this is clearly a mistake in my opinion. He should have gone straight to them and let them know at all times exactly where they stood, exactly what he knows and what his intentions and expectations are. I think this would be true in any manager-employee relationship, but even moreso with an NFL quarterback, particularly given the situation Jackson and Rosenfels are in with this team (TJ having been dumped last year after being given the starting job, and Rosenfels having been brought in via trade specifically with the understanding he would compete with TJ for a starting position.) According to Carter, these guys were getting their information primarily through the news along with the rest of us and Childress was feeding them the same vague news he was giving the press.

So you ran out of your own drivel and decided to import someone else's excuse for hate speech? Bad form just gets worse and worse with you. No hatred here. Nope. Just another solid addition of information to the Pool.

Thanks for nothing. If I had more time I would take comments totally out of context and...no wait. That would be disengenuous. Like the way you have quoted me out oc context, for example.

I'm tired of ookook, sho nuff, and other idiots hijacking these effing threads with their pissing matches. Just ridiculous. Actual information maybe lasts for a couple pages at best before these tools come in here to argue over a guy who isn't even playing the game anymore.

Mods - can we just pin a pissing thread for these dopes? TIA

 

[sho nuff]

Ummmm...ook and I have been pretty civil during these threads other than one little joke by him.

And actually been discussing relevant information about the topics.

And way to stay classy with the tools comment.

Viking fans not broken up over Favre's decision

“He wasn’t the answer, but he’s better than what we have,” said Gappa. “Of course, I’m still not convinced he’s not just trying to avoid coming in to camp. I’ve heard that — that he doesn’t want to practice.”

The way Schenz sees it, not having Favre might not be the worst thing for Vikings fans. “I give Tarvaris Jackson a lot more credit than he’s given,” she confided. “He actually had a quarterback rating 15 points higher than Favre last year (she’s right – 95.4 to 81) and granted, he played half the games, but he’s still very inexperienced and he’s developing. With time, he will be a successful quarterback. He needs the benefit of the doubt.”

boy have you done a 180 in the last year

He does 180s all the time...he stated today that he didn't think Favre was a media whore over the last few weeks yet sho does everything he can to stir the pot as you can see by above. sho is a nut job.

 

[Donnybrook]

Childress is now acting like a jilted lover.  Apparently the Vikings will no longer pursue Favre even if he changes his mind. 

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4364798

Asked whether the Vikings would revisit the possibility should Favre change his mind again, Childress repeated his "more than content" stance about the current quarterbacks.The coach was then pressed to definitively rule out another dalliance with Favre.

"There's not a chance, from my standpoint. I'm going forward with the guys we have, and we'll have a great competition," Childress said, using a similar line to deny interest in pursuing the recently reinstated Michael Vick.

I wish I could believe him.

 

[Knobs]

I don't believe Childress either. He's gone this far and I don't see how he would turn Favre down if he offered to play for them. I think this is just spin to finally try and give his ACTUAL qb's some lovin'.

Yawn...more personal BS...And again you did not even get what I stated correct, though Im not surprised.What you can see above is people actually discussing the topic in a civil manner without getting personal. Ookoook and I don't agree totally, but we discussed things without making it a personal pissing match. You don't appear to be able to do that.So would you actually like to discuss the topic...or worry about how much I post instead?

 

[fatness]

I don't believe the door is necessarily shut either. I think some of that will depend on the Vikings' record, how well they're playing, the quality of the QB play, and how threateded Childress feels his job is if/when Favre wants to come in mid-season. With training camp starting Childress has to stop the undermining of his present QB's in camp, so it's expected that he'd say what he said.

 

[gump]

? Is nobody else watching SportsCenter this morning?

 

[fatness]

Peter King of SI.com writes that Vikings coach Brad Childress would still like to have Favre as his starting quarterback, especially if the two quarterbacks currently battling for the starting job, Tarvaris Jackson and Sage Rosenfels, struggle in the preseason or early in the regular season:

I think the Minnesota Vikings, should they struggle at quarterback, will call Brett Favre. It's a pretty strong feeling, based on knowing the people involved and based on the desperation of the Vikings to do more than win a division this year.

King seems to think a Favre comeback would happen if the Vikings decide, based on the play of Jackson and Rosenfels, that they need a new quarterback. But Jay Glazer of Fox Sports writes that many folks in Minnesota think the decision has already been made, and that it's just a matter of Favre waiting until the grueling August training camp is finished before he takes the reins of the Vikings' offense. Glazer writes:

When I say nearly everyone I talked to on the team is convinced he's coming, that is not an exaggeration. People from all walks of life within the organization talk about it as if it's no secret, almost an afterthought.

"I'm telling you it's already done," said one Viking. "Right after the Indy game (first preseason game). I don't think anyone here doesn't think that."

Another Viking said, "I don't know if it's done, but I think he'll be in by the third preseason game."

Neither King nor Glazer quote Favre speaking about his own intentions, but both men have known Favre for years and have broken Favre news in the past, so it's safe to say that if both of them think a Favre comeback is likely, that probably means that Favre himself hasn't ruled it out.

Jay Glazer's article

Great...more time spent on the most overrated player in the history of the NFL...probably in any sport. Plus, Favre has the typical whiny, self entitled and arrogant attitude to go with it. He has surrounded himself with the usual entourage of enablers and sycophants, and coming back to embarrass himself in another NFL season would be fitting for him. He won't care...he'll just blame others and he'll continue to ruin everything and everyone in his path just like he did in Green Bay.

 

[The Moz]

Never before have I seen a player who is a legendary HOFer top 10 ever at QB - go and blatantly destroy his legacy the way Favre has done. he will be known now more for his end of career antics than his HOF career and 3 MVP's ALMOST A 4TH AT 38.

Last year Favre could of signed a cushy deal to do some promo's with GB for like 20 million - and retired a Packer and been the biggest Packer legend since Lombardi - legacy in tact. he goes onto to flop in NYJ and then lead the Vikings on for a month only to pull out right before camp.

I was a huge Favre fan - not anymore - He turned himself into a joke.

Best thing favre can do is go to Mississippi and just #### for a few years and stay off camera -- then come back and maybe all this would be forgotten.

 

[Ozymandias]

One of the raps against Favre in NY was that he just wasn't willing to put in the preparation time. Regardless of what the coaches say, I doubt he'd get much respect from his teammates for being a pansy during the hot days of August, while they are doing 2 a days.

 

[BigJim®]

As Donnybrook posted, Childress had said the Vikes would no longer pursue Favre after he said he was remaining retired when camp began. I'm fine with that decision, as I don't want any QB who thinks he's above preparing with the team in training camp, which I perceive to be Favre's M.O. at this point. All this news report does is give credance to that perspective of Favre. Player response (primarily and interview with Jared Allen) indicated there would be player resentment if Favre was allowed to opt out of training camp and later join the team under his terms. This is a credibility issue for the Vikes at this point. I hope the team simply shoots down the report and continues putting the prior dalliance in its rearview mirror. Don't let a guy like this create disruption.

And that is really giving Favre way more credit than he deserves. He should really be remembered for choking in the playoffs....everyone should remember his poor performances against Atlanta, St. Louis, Philadelphia, Minnesota and New York Giants. That list does not even include his regular season meltdowns. The SB victory for GB was more due to Desmond Howard and a strong defense than anything Favre did. Bottom line is that Favre ruined countless GB seasons, ruined one last year for the Jets and if he returns and plays for the Vikings he will ruin their season as well.

Yeah...Favre had a crappy year and game that SB year. Reggie's sacks came late...Favre was money that entire game finishing 25 of 42 for 256, 3 TDs, 1 INT and 1 rushing TD.Yeah...that guy sucked. The team had the lead before Howard's runback...yes, it was important...but to just say it was the D and Howard moreso than Favre is ridiculous.The Atlanta game also had more to do with not being able to stop Vick due to an old and slow defense that Sherman had put together at the time.Philly? Yup, one bad pass...then again, was he out there on 4th and 26? Hardly all his fault...Minny, hardly all his fault. Ill give you St. Louis.Its fair to see his playoff record of late has been bad...but to just say he should be remembered for choking in the playoffs...give me a break.

OK Mort whatever you say... although you forgot to blame the receivers too...and the cold weather...other than that you have all of the usual Favre excuses covered. But think harder...I am sure you can come up with a few more.

Umm...I just don't blame one person for those games. A ton of things went wrong against NY in 2007.

I gave you the Rams game...only one you mentioned that someone can even closely come to pin a majority of it on Favre.

But your thoughts on the SB were completely foolish IMO given how he played and how the game actually went.

He was very good in that game.
