7/2/2008 10:17:07 PM

Real

Jesus stfu already

7/2/2008 10:45:29 PM

Favre already said there was nothing to the rumor.

It's ESPN trying to get people to watch during the summer.

Who gives a fuck if he does want to come back. He's a fucking person, and people change their minds. I would imagine if I was one of the best QBs ever to play the game and I retired I would be bored and after having one of my better seasons think that maybe I could play some more. If not, then fuck it, if so, then the Packers are back to being the best team in their division.

7/3/2008 2:06:18 AM

haha if he comes back hes such a bitch


if he doesnt come back hes still on "slightly favorable" status

7/3/2008 2:31:48 AM

^^ the Packers give a fuck. They probably wouldn't have taken Brian Brohm in the draft had they suspected that he'd come back.

I don't buy this at all, sounds like a "Brett Favre buys a back scratcher from Target, he must have the itch to come out of retirement" type of ESPN bs.

7/3/2008 8:11:24 AM

I am pretty sure Aaron Rodgers gives a fuck as well.

7/3/2008 12:32:49 PM

is he really that eager to throw a costly late-game interception again?

Reasons fans of other teams hate Favre:

1. He is better than their quarterback could ever dream of being

7/4/2008 12:36:17 AM

You'd think with all the hype he'd have more than 1 Super Bowl win for his team. I guess he cares more about the individual awards than winning championships.

7/4/2008 12:57:33 PM

Yeah, making it to the Super Bowl was 100% on him, there was no one else on those teams. Great point, Treetwista.

LOL, can you imagine that?

7/4/2008 4:46:27 PM

^^you're right...longevity and wide receivers had nothing to do with his stats. Great point yourself.

7/4/2008 6:52:02 PM

Quote :

"COOK PRIVATELY SAYS FAVRE WANTS TO BE A PANTHER Posted by Mike Florio on July 3, 2008, 3:07 p.m. EDT Agent Bus Cook has been yapping a lot over the past several months regarding the future of his star client, Brett Favre. Most recently, we heard that Cook had been telling people that Brett still wants to play. (Two days later, it was widely reported that Brett is telling people that Brett still wants to play.) We’re now hearing that Cook is privately saying that Favre wants to play for the . . . . drum roll, please . . . oh, wait, it’s in the headline . . . Carolina Panthers. We don’t know why Favre is eyeing Carolina. Maybe he thinks that it’s the best place for him to step in as the starter, notwithstanding the presence of Jake Delhomme, and have a chance to win. Or maybe Favre wants to play for a time that’s fairly close to his home in Mississippi — and that will play three division road games in that same general area as well. Beyond the geography and a roster with the talent to compete in a wide-open NFC, Favre has no strong connections to the coaching staff. Favre never has been in the same organization as head coach John Fox. That said, the quarterbacks coach, Mike McCoy, was on the Packers’ practice squad in 1995. Whether Favre plays again and whether he plays for anyone other than the Packers remains to be seen. But if he does play for anyone other than the Packers, his next team could be the Panthers. If the Panthers want him."

i would take him over Jake. I am sure steve smith didnt mind this rumor....

7/4/2008 9:19:24 PM

Brett just wants a chance to break another team's single season INT record. Ours is 1997, when Kerry Collins threw 21 picks. Brett has tied or surpassed that mark 5 times in his career, and think he he has an easy shot at getting into another team's record books.

Personally, I wouldn't want his ass here but maybe I am just biased. Our team has a different direction to go in that doesnt involve bringing in this douche. I am pretty sure the rumor is all bs anyway.

7/5/2008 9:13:46 AM

Would John Kasay give up the #4 for Favre? It would be fun to see, but I also wouldn't mind him heading to the Jets (let's start a rumor for ESPN).

7/5/2008 12:41:19 PM

I really wish Bus Cook would just shut up. I can't imagine anyone wanting to play for the Panthers.

7/5/2008 1:01:28 PM

I thought Kasay retired after this season?

Guess not.
Then again, I think he's going to retire after every season i suppose.

Favr(rv)e needs to get a peripheral job to football. Doing commentating or being an analyst or something. It wouldn't be the same, but he probably just needs something to keep him busy. His wife and kids reportedly want him back playing, probably because going from him being on the road all the time to him having nothing to do is a bit jarring for the family.

Football's all he knows, so he might want to do that agian, but I'm sure he could find something satisfying besides being a QB again (and either A: completely ruining Aaron Roger's life or B: pull a Montana and prove that while he's still good, he can't carry a team by himself anymore).

Exactly...
I'd love to see him play IRL, therefore I am praying that he will come to the Panthers...


So funny...people don't hate people who suck. It's the ultimate form of flattery.

7/5/2008 2:23:55 PM

Brett Favre and Jason Taylor to the Panthers would be insane.

He could also pull a wtf and go to Minnesota and really fuck some shit up.

7/5/2008 7:14:48 PM

why is he getting pressure from his family to play? are they just tired of him being around all the time or do they see a $12 million dollar salary that they could be leeching off of? also favre playing for the panthers would be a terrible idea.

7/6/2008 9:14:31 AM

Faahh-vruh "texting" with Packer's GM. Jesus, when will this stop??

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3477600

7/8/2008 3:31:50 PM

Only ESPN could make a 500-word story out of a text message without actually knowing what the text message said.

7/8/2008 3:35:01 PM

it isn't a problem if he wants to play or not play, it is the fact that we have to go through this every year. if you want to come back just say "i want to play" and then let it go from there.

i love the guy and watching him play, but as always the media does a great job making you hate someone / exhaust a story.

7/8/2008 3:39:30 PM

Leaving Green Bay, or, trying to.

He'll come to the Bucs then retire again

Real Plummer style

7/11/2008 5:07:22 PM

I predict he plays for Baltimore this season

7/11/2008 5:08:08 PM

This man is ridiculous. I can't count him out b/c he can play. But damn, sucks for some poor guy like T. Jackson from Minn. if they get Favre. I am not sure I would take Favre for one year if I had a guy I was calling my team's "QB."

Maybe Miami, but I am pretty sure Favre wants to go to a contender...

Baltimore...hmmmm maybe but would he fit in in that system?

" The Green Bay Packers are aware of the latest developments regarding Brett Favre. Brett earned and exercised the right to retire on his terms. We wanted him to return and welcomed him back on more than one occasion. Brett's press conference and subsequent conversations in the following weeks illustrated his commitment to retirement. The finality of his decision to retire was accepted by the organization. At that point, the Green Bay Packers made the commitment to move forward with our football team. As a retired player, Brett has the option to apply for reinstatement with Commissioner Goodell. If that were to occur, he would become an active member of the Green Bay Packers. As always, the Packers will do what's right and in the best interest of the team. As with all Packers greats, Brett's legacy will always be celebrated by our fans and the organization, regardless of any change in his personal intentions. Brett and Deanna will always be a part of the Packers family."
