Brett Favre to retire again

[gmb85]

Who cares, it's all about Dallas.

The best? Favre wasn't going to be his best, that's why he retired. No way he was going to put up those kinds of numbers again this season.

Didn't everyone one of us say that last season too?

I'm not going to buy this until opening day. If he's not in the lineup at that point, then maybe I'll believe it. You'd think he'd tell the Vikings first, rather than this strange way.

He did tell the vikings first. He contacted the front office staff and his teammates first.

That certainly helps. I don't see how he could have that good a season again.

He can't and he knows it. It's part of the reason he's "retired" (for now). He'll come back in week 4 after the Vikes sputter to a 1-3 start. Come in like a savior and throw the choke INT (again) to end the Vikes chances.

The way the season ended for Favre last year was so fitting. Ending his teams chances exactly the same way he's done for well over a decade. Everyone is all over Favre for being a great QB and iron man, blah, blah, blah. What they all conveniently forget is that Favre has cost his teams more championships than he's won them. It's fitting that the chump's last game of his career ended so eerily similar to the way he's dashed his teams hopes year after year: gunslingin' em to a loss.

The last week of training camp.

Exactly, his ankle will have had a miraculous recovery. As i've said before, I wont believe it until i dont see him under center on Week 1.

He apparently told Vikings officials last night I read in one source.........but otherwise right on. He told the Vikings last year, ESPN reported, that he wasn't going to play last year when camp opened, only to come back a few weeks later.

I'm right here as well.

Until he doesn't come back, I'm not believing that he isn't.

Either that or he'll come back just in time for the Dallas game.

He DID tell the vikings first.

Maybe I misunderstood. From what I initially read, he told some teammates via text message that "this is it". I have just read that he contacted that Vikings regarding the rehab on his ankle, so please pardon my confusion. I'm just not sure which came first.

 

[ajk23az]

Not on their website so this must be "breaking news". LOL I wonder when he comes out of retirement?

Somethings up for sure, Childress is holding a press conference in about 45 minutes.

That is just to give him something to do while the jet warms up for the trip to Hattiesburg.

Looks like all day today is going to be an ESPN Favre jock slobber fest. I reckon we'll see a few montages also. :bang2:

 

[YosemiteSam]

Brett Favre just un-retired.


...err they said he had to come to camp now so he re-retired again. :laugh2:

 

[JohnnyHopkins]

This is kind of like Tomson75 and Nic Cage movies. Sure he says he won't watch them, but, eventually......

According to BSPN, Brett contacted the front office first, then his teammates.

Still crickets from Brett Favre and the Vikings. I wonder why...
