I cannot believe Farve is doing this, I know he loves the game, but always took him as the type to make a decision and stick with it.

His wife had breast cancer a few years back and I don't think she's out of the 5 year window yet. It's just a thought but even with his millions he may feel he has to keep working.

Heard on the radio this morning is the reason he wants the release is that he feels he was pushed out the door by Green Bay last year.
I think that bullshit.

Brett Favre's stock may be dropping faster than Fannie & Freddie's, in Green Bay at least. He may have pulled one of the most stupid moves in sports history, contacting the Minnesota Vikings from a Green Bay Packer issued cell phone. I would have LOVED to been in the offices in GB when that cell phone bill arrived. How do you toss a career of being loved and adored by fans in a small community to being on the verge of being run out of town... follow the Brett Farve model Link

I am a Brett Farve fan but that was a really asinine move!! Under the heading of "stupid things I have done" that would be about #1 for him.....got to admit that my stock has dropped a bit for him.

I think his stock is fall all around the league. The only place he may be a hit is to whatever team he lands with if the Packers trade of release him.
This could be the beginning of an ugly end to a brilliant career. What a shame.

I would GLADLY retire and stay retired if GB offered me significantly less than $20 million, $5 million should do, thus saving GB $15 mill. All I can say is, if Farve does come back and play, he better produce. If he ends up having a sucky year, he will have to sneak out of town disguised and in a Yugo, because the entire town will be out for blood. Link

IMHO they are not going to trade him to a contender. IMHO he is also not goinmg to go play for some celler dweller.
I think he will be the starter again.

Man was I wrong. Farve off to the NY Jets. I can't picture him in Jet green.
Don't know if he will help them or not. Time will tell.

And the saga continues.....
"NEW YORK (AP)—Brett Favre informed the New York Jets on Wednesday he will retire after 18 seasons, ending a record-setting career in which he was one of the NFL’s premier quarterbacks."
pssssst....... Me thinks for real this time. (and rightly so)

Me thinks for real this time. (and rightly so) Sugar Ray Robinson was one of my favorite boxers but he kept going back into the ring time after time and when he was way past his glory days and just before he fought Jerry Quarry I remember a writer that covered boxing asked Sugar Ray Robinson why he kept on fighting. His answer was "It's like being in love with a woman you know is wrong for you but you just can't help yourself." I think Brett Farve may be of the same mind set.

Hopefully, it's for real this time and also hopefully, if it's *not*, then he'll attempt another comeback with a different team. It's time for the Jets to move on to another QB.

If he is not in uniform when the season begins I will believe it. Until then........................

BUMP
If the Colts or Patriots already have a playoff berth clinched and Peyton Manning or Tom Brady go down for the rest of the season, do we seriously think Favre wouldn’t come back if he got the call? .. maybe even Detroit... that would be about their style... after benching their #1 pick go with Farve... sounds right.

Look like Brett is going to go and talk too the Vikings. This is going to be a disastrous end to a magnificent career.

If he does that, he should seriously consider being sick the weekend the Vikes play in GB... seriously
