Meh. I'm not anti-Farve. I'm pro-Green Bay.
I remember a time when magazines like Sports Illustrated ran stories predicting that Green Bay is such an uninviting place that it would never again build a powerful team. I like how the Packers proved those stories wrong: They won the Super Bowl, stayed good for a while, and now they're good again! Anyway, I hope they win this week, but I won't be sad if the Vikings win.

Still hoping he gets injured and Tavaris leads them to the promised land.

i hate to be a dick, but i still got favre jets hangover and i don't want green bay OR the vikes to make it to the superbowl

I would be fine with the Vikings going to the Super Bowl if and only if Roger Goodell suspends both Favre and Jared Allen after an Arenas-Crittendon standoff, although I guess given Allen it would have to be with like, crossbows or spears instead of guns.

If it happened, it would be Brett Favre and Jared Allen getting in a deathmatch on the proper technique for catfish noodling.

After Sunday's game, Favre staggered to the podium, an abrasion between his eyes, welts on his forehead and tears in his eyes from the beating he took at the hands of the Saints...

"Nobody wants to take a year off," he said. "It's something I did and it happens with a lot of players, like Wes [Welker] [knee injury] -- he has a tough road and he'll overcome it. I have no doubt he will. Everybody deals with it at different times, unless you're Brett Favre."

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre told the Southern Miss Golden Eagles baseball team on Thursday morning that if they can make it back to the College World Series for the second straight year, he will return for one more season in the NFL.

I don't think the Favre mania is quite as much this year. The dude just had some ankle surgery, it would be funny for him to go through all of that and then say 'nah I don't really want to play this year'.
When he finally does retire, he probably will come back a year later at like age 52.

honestly, nothing is ever gonna be as awesome as that last playoff game; dude should stop while he's behind

"Favre has not yet said if he plans to play, but he's not sounding like a retired quarterback. Favre told the Sun Herald on Thursday on the Mississippi newspaper's website he would "love to go beat the Saints" in the season opener Sept. 9. New Orleans beat Minnesota in the NFC Championship Game in January."

so he's considering playing or retiring? i hope the media keeps a sharp eye on this.

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST
Brett Favre told ESPN's Ed Werder in Hattiesburg, Miss., on Wednesday that he has not made any decision about returning to play for the Minnesota Vikings this season and says he will play if healthy.

i'm hoping he returns because last season was too high a note to end on.

yeah, although it did all crumble beautifully at the end
― horseshoe, Wednesday, 4 August 2010 17:29 (fourteen years ago) link
i mean maybe he texted anonymous teammates and said "hey i'm retiring" but didn't tell that to ryan longwell on the same day and is now denying it to ed werder but that doesn't really pass the occam's razor test imo.

― righteous lecoq (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 5 August 2010 06:02 (fourteen years ago) link
i really hope brett doesn't retire -- two reasons
1 the league is more fun with him in it -- the vikings are a cool team, don't want to see them saddled with fucking sage rosenfels, their games vs green bay are inherently mega epic if favre is playing and of course nothing in the world is funnier than favreceptions -- i wouldn't trade anything in the world for favre's interception against the saints last year
2 it's hilarious to see espn falling all over itself in an effort to be ahead of the favre retirement story. they had people eulogizing his career within the second... it's like they put out a bat signal over bristol and all ex-players assembled in the studio to lick his nutsack. you would think that at this point they would play it cool with this kinda thing, but no, and it never gets old
