That would be a fee, not a tax, and Farve would have to get in line to pay for it.


Maybe he can cry about it some more when the Vikes don't get to the Superbowl again this upcoming season.

Why don't the Minnesota Vikings eat Wheaties in the morning? Because every time they get that close to a bowl they choke.

Them's fighting words pal.

As a fan of both the Vikings and Chargers I pray to all the jeebuses out there that he does come back. Having your best year in your career should warrant another season but I do see why he is reluctant. He's pretty tore up from years of playing his heart out, most of which I hated him, playing in GB.

I have only seen one of my 2 teams make it to a superbowl, although I know of the 4 Minnesota tries (Tarkenton era, too young), I deserve a superbowl win for my 20 years of being a fan god damn it. He is the guy that can make it a reality.

No. Farking. shiat.

Until you see a message on his website or a press conference (and even then, you don't really know), just shutup about it.

Don't believe heresay.

joyride75: Giant Clown Shoe: Joe Blowme: Why do you hate him so much?

Because acting like a biatch denigrates the game and it's fans. There are plenty of other Hall of Fame players that decided to exit with class. This self involved rube isn't one of them.

/does he like you to cup the balls?

Yeah, denigrates football. The noble game of football. Riiiiiiiiiiight.

alright. you got me there.

The funniest thing of all is the message that this story revolves around was a text saying "This is it." That's all the text said. But don't let that stop ESPN from doing a one hour special on the subject yesterday. At one point they claimed Favre was having a press conference at 2 PM CST, yesterday.

Um, he's retiring. My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Brett pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

dammit, messed up my Boobies. here's what i meant to add.

GO COWBOYS

Brett and his agent Bus Cook have long been suspected of masterminding these retirement rumors, dating back to 2004. The same story keeps playing out every year. Brett keeps quiet all offseason, people close to him leak little bits of news, the media goes nuts, Favre comes out to quell the rumors, then makes an announcement shortly afterwards.

Believe the conspiracy or don't, but if Favre is not the source of these rumors, nobody can deny that he enables them by not coming out to say one way or another until August. He is the one with the power to stop all this from happening each year and yet he continues to not do so.

what the fark old media.

one phone call to the subject of the farking story to confirm the facts. that's all it would take.

i expect this bullshiat from online media but goddamnit, is there not a single news source that makes sure the information they're about to print is factual anymore????

It's not his job to police the media. There are many reasons not to like him, but his lack of refuting every rumor every day isn't one of them.

Living vicariously through Darren Sharper? Has Titletown really sunk so low?

/Neither was used up, as evidenced by last season. The Pack just didn't know what they had.

Why do ESPN run every Favre story? Because Favre = ratings. People care.. even if they are sick of it, they care and people watch. Same way with Sports Talk. Phones light up the second Brett Favre is mentioned.

However, I don't see Brett Favre on ESPN saying I quit, no I don't, yes I do, I don't know. This was some "source" telling someone he "texted" he was quitting. It's not Favre's fault when he farts people want to figure out what he had for dinner... Same thing with that Kate plus eight minus one divided by 15 woman. She keeps coming back around because people keep sticking the spotlight on her. They eat it up.

Yes, this drives me insane every year, but it isn't driven as much by Favre as it is by us in the public wanting to know every thing Favre does.

xaks: Just farking stop it already.

we most stop him. we just need a high power rifle and mode of transport to mississippi. one of those days he heads out to ride the tractor in those jeans or to throw with the high school team and he never comes back. problem solved.

oh wait, then ESPN with a couple of days of coverage about the giant farking hole in favre's head, then the cross-country manhunt, then the arrest, then the first court appearance, then the adoring masses giving thanks to ending favre's indecision, then the trial, then the appeal, the the conversion to islam, then the execution... fark it! even in death one cannot escape the power of ESPN's craving to suck on favre. god damn it so much!

Just heard this (not mine) but still funny (and sad as a Redskins fan...):

"while pacing back and forth about his decision to retire, brett favre accidentally completed the redskins conditioning test"

digistil: It's not his job to police the media. There are many reasons not to like him, but his lack of refuting every rumor every day isn't one of them.

Maybe you misunderstood. The idea is that he does like almost every player before him has done and make a decision about whether or not to retire before August. Did that not cross your mind while replying to my post?

Besides, he almost always does come out and refute/confirm the rumors. The point, again, is that he could stop it all by making a decision. He doesn't, and hasn't since 2004 with one exception (07 I think).

It doesn't hurt that the Vikings were willing to pony up an extra $6 million by him letting ESPN crap its pants for a while, either, does it? That issue is what gets me.

Yeah, I'm sure he probably makes that $6 million back for them, but it sort of makes me a little sick to know he's just made $6 million more for an ESPN love fest.

Look out! Football this Sunday.

I honestly don't think he's capable of making a firm decision on the matter until he feels he has to. And even then I think he probably continues to go back and forth, but is limited to what he can do by that time.

No, in the case of Favre, the Pack had a future star at QB that would not have stuck around if Favre played one more year in GB.

Then you are far less cynical than I :) I really believe he is coming back and has known it for quite some time.

Well, one reason I think he truly can't decide is that I don't think he's capable of keeping a good secret. If he had decided, I think he'd have let it slip out withing 24 hours of deciding. Not to bring up the cliche, but I get the impression that he's more like a 5 year old than most people realize. A 5 year old can't lie about anything. They also can't make decisions regarding the future.

whatever your emotions on the favreinator, there are TWO immutable laws regarding favre threads...

1- they are entertaining as hell.
2- espn really, really sucks.

Nah, he would have. The problem they had was they were both under contract and Rodgers was going to want more than a backups pay. No way GB was going to be paying 2 premium QBs wages since they are broke as a city and franchise. Could have been avoided by not signing a then 33 or 34 year old to a 7 year deal at the highest pay in the league and expecting him to not want to finish the deal, but that's spilt milk.

From what I heard at the time, Rodgers had made it clear he was out if Favre came back for another year.

lennavan: Joe Blowme: Funny how people blame Favre when he has nto said anything, it not like he is calling press conferences and attention whoring.

Worth repeating. Many of you have missed this fact.

This just in: Things about someone sometimes get leaked by that same someone, or that someones
agent to make more money. More at 11.

What team in their right mind would pay 2 premium QB wages, its just not fiscally responsible from a business standpoint. There was much more upside to the Packers going with Rogers than with Favre. For example..their players don't have to worry about this media circus every year anymore. (As for them being broke, they did make a net profit of ~$5 million last year. (up 20% from previous)

I think you just said what phervor said.

Yeah.....I just woke up and completely mis-read what he wrote. My bad

Brett will be one of those guys whose death gets announced by the media, only he will come back and play football the very next season after. Sort of like tu-pac and his consistent album releases.

phervor: That doesn't excuse their bad bad bad business choice to sign Brett to a longer term deal then any 33 year old should ever be offered.

Perhaps in general, but it should be noted the guy is still playing and made the SB last year. In hindsight it may have worked out poorly but they didn't know Rogers would be any good when they made it.

In unrelated news, the fatty in Washington has figured out that if he says his knee hurts, he doesn't have to practice, yet again.

JohnBigBootay: and made the SB last year

Close, but no cigar. Pro Bowl, perhaps?
