I really hope we don’t. I don’t want your leftovers quarterbacks any more than I want the Packers’. Besides, Rosencopter’s going to light it up next year.

In AP I trust

He's just trying to have his

Hope so

We’ll definitely take a little of the copter fumbling the ball mid-air, in a highlight reel show.

Favre's shoulder needs surgery if he is to play again...

…and that isn’t going to enable him to be ready for the season. Hence why he is staying retired.

The window for winning a World Series may have waned.

By the way BLou,

If Favre were to undergo a surgery, it would probably be a tenotomy, which would be healed in plenty of time for July’s training camp.

Not that any of this matters now, in light of more recent developments in the story.

What happened to...

You won’t see another farve post until he signs somewhere… He hasn’t signed yet!

Got ya there didn’t I?

I've officially adopted #94 Marcus Harrison!

I reckon I should have said

either him signing or deciding to stay retired.

lol ohhh heck no GB, you did you say that.

Too late buddy, now you have to live up to your end of the deal and flush your LSU jersey down the toilet.

by Chitownproduct on May 9, 2009 1:57 AM CDT up reply actions  

Good

I hope this is the end of it. Forever. I do not want to hear about him until he shows up on a Hall of Fame ballot.

by Sam Householder on May 7, 2009 3:55 PM CDT reply actions  

I am actually dissappointed

I thought he could royally screw them up this year and was looking forward to all the distractions he would bring and then them self imploding…Now they will have to wait for Sage and TJax to crumble. Won’t take long….

by tfrabotta on May 7, 2009 4:00 PM CDT reply actions  

I hope this is the end of Brett Farve this and Brett Farve that.

Somehow I don’t believe we have heard the last of this awful saga that never dies. Please just stay retired man!!!

by Bears fan 4-ever!!! on May 7, 2009 4:49 PM CDT reply actions  

Glad

I’m happy Favre didn’t taint his legacy anymore than it has already. It would’ve been nice to see GB faithful unhappy and bitter, but certainly I’m glad the Vikings are stuck with TJack and Copter.

When you refer to them like that

They sound like Tekken characters…and after watching Sage last year that would be pretty accurate.

Choppa Slam, Bam!

by Chitownproduct on May 9, 2009 1:59 AM CDT up reply actions  

Favre clearly needs a way to stay connected to the game

Why hasn’t some network hired him in hopes he can be the next John Madden in the booth? Personally I think Favre would be great. He’d tell it like it is and wouldn’t be politically correct in his assessment of teams or players on the field.

The window for winning a World Series may have waned.

Hmmm not a bad idea.

Don’t care for politically correct and I believe you are on to something. Could be funny.

Darn

I was kinda looking forward to Briggs separating his head from the rest of his body this season.

Wait. Did I just say that in public?

And the prevailing wind happens to be blowing from Vichy.
