I never was a Packer's fan either but I really liked and respected this guy. He's one of the greats in my book.
so long Brett Favre
- Thread starter coolbeers
- Start date
I think it's a sad day for the NFL , because he was such a great competitor and a great guy . It would have been nice to see him win the superbowl this year .
I was never a Packers fan, but I do admire Favre for what he did for football.
The ability to avoid injury and start so many games in a row...that's the impressive thing to me. I'm not a great fan of his. He's not the greatest ever. He didn't win enough Rings to be in that discussion. He piled up a ton of stats, basically. He is the Lou Gehrig of the NFL..I'll give him that credit.
But to heap a little salt on this thread....remember a couple of years ago when Brett complained that it wasn't his job to "help prepare" Aaron Rodgers...that Aaron had to just stand there and hold the clipboard? Gee. Nice teammate.:thefinger :tongue:

I just saw a highlight of Brett ****** at his press conference....:bawling: Geez, dude. You've been floating retirement speculation for years...and YOU'RE GOING OUT ON YOUR OWN TERMS!!! I thought tears were reserved for those that left the sport due to career-ending injury...:dunno:
Brett...Brett...Brett....:1orglaugh
Brett...Brett...Brett....:1orglaugh
you dont understand, its hard to love something so much and leave it. you just dont understand
Brett isn't the best ever, but the number of rings somebody has is a poor evaluation of skill or a player’s greatness. How good he is ranked all time depends on how much more people value peak all time great years to years of good longevity and above average to great performance for a long time. I would say Favre is somewhere around the top 10.
Did anybody else think it was ironic that one of the few times Aaron Rodgers had to go in for Favre he almost immediately broke his foot and Favre had to come back in even though he was just hurt himself. :1orglaugh
I think I might title this...

It's all about the rings people....Favre didn't win enough of them. Bottomline.
And I do think it's fine to goof on him for ******. He's leaving on his own terms. He's leaving a team on the upswing, so the decision seems more like he's ****** because Randy Moss turned his back on Green Bay, moreso than anything else..:1orglaugh
Favre will be back the second week of August....TO ****** for "Romo" kind of ruins "******" by pro athletes at the moment for me...:dunno:
