Brett Favre will play (at least) one more season

Just announced on espn. All Packer fans may now exhale.

But at least Farve gets a farewell season.

Most all Packer fans know that. But last season was no way to go out. If they stay healthy they've got a shot to be a wild card.

And I say that as a Bears fan. Let the guy collect on the various Rolls Royces and hoity-toity rocking chairs that Kareem got.

Hey, remember when you guys took Urlacher just before us and we got Bubba Franks?

I do. Dammit.

:bounce::bounce:

I can see a few of my family members inquiring the price.

There's no such thing as too much when it comes to my family and Packers items,even if it is crap.

I can see some of my family IN that window! :D

I can too!

Says "St. Brett patron saint of the Cheeseheads" Not sacrilegious or anything :eyes: - I let him wear it to youth group though ;)

If here were around here, I'd love him to wear it to church! :)

:grr:

...if he weren't wearing that damned skirt. :rofl:

Brett Favre is well past his prime and spent all last season throwing picks off of his back foot because he was afraid to get hit.

He is doing the Packers a diservice by prolonging the agony.

A thief. Or maybe a free agent signee.

But he was past his prime anyway, right?

Oh Yeah Brad Johnson.He's an A one QB come on the vikings will be lucky to get 3 wins this year.

Let me rephrase that.....did Brett Favre win 6 games last year period?

Even if Brad Johnson was bad, your boy played much, MUCH worse.

than Bret favre.Give me a break.How many 300 yard passing games did he have or will he have for that matter.He is a hack.You could take any QB in the league and do what he does.

Almost as ridiculous as Green Bay fans continuing to think that Brett Favre is what he used to be. He's not. Far from it. He's an average QB at BEST right now. He throws more picks than touchdowns. He's afraid to get hit. He makes mistakes (just like he always has only now he's too old to get away with them). He throws off his back foot like some rookie busch leaguer. He alienates his teammates. And perhpas more glaring...he's on a bad team and he can't make up for it with talent alone.

That was the basis for my statement. If it weren't for the inevitable nauseating display that will come from the commentators about seeing him for the last time, for the last time, I couldn't be more delighted that he's coming back. Because regardless of how good Bart WAS, the only difference between Brett Favre and Brad Johnson NOW, is that Brad Johnson's teams win ballgames.

I'll welcome him to the dome with arms open.......and so will the Viking secondary.

I think Brett has a few rockets left in that arm.Maybe he'll surprise you.

Something he can look back on while rockin away on his front porch!!!

Because then Minnesota would want one too.

Which I guess you would need to have seeing as you have to live...in Wisconsin!

Lame. :thumbsdown:

The last time they were arrested?How many times did you lose the superbowl?Vikings are nothing, have never been anything,and will never be anything.You cheap bastards won't even pay for a decent place for them to play.

How'd the Packers (one must chuckle at that name) do against the Vikings last year....?

There's no point.

...:toast: :bounce: :woohoo:

Culpepper?
Johnson?
Cunningham?
George?
Salisbury?
Kramer?
Tarkenton?
Kapp?

Johnson does have one, but he had to go the Bucs to get it. Don't flame LaCrosse, I'm on your side. Okay Viking fans, you forget the past so quickly. Your 'triangle of authority' isn't going to bring you a championship by signing used up players.

......misty water colored memories....of the way....we were....:D

Favre wasn't going to retire after a crappy season.

I could see him wanting one last shot at the playoffs. Now if only GB would bring in a quarterback to take his place when he does leave.

I know Aaron's years with the Hawks weren't the best, but he's a good guy to have.

Prediction for the Hawks next year? Believe it or not the Hawks are my second favorite team (I know not supposed to be that way if you're a Badger, but I have several good friends is Iowa City and your fans are second to none.)

UW: Probably something in the neighborhood of 8-3. I'll say fourth in the B10.

We played his high school in football (AP) so I saw him and the other future NFLer's from his area when they were still developing. Good dedicated player. He was at Iowa when Capt. Kirk was just turning things around there. I'm always apprehensive about where the Hawkeyes will stack up in the conference. But if Ferentz has 'em playing like he did late in the regular season last year it's Katie bar the door!
Shades of 2002 all over again.

:loveya: Brett

(For MrsGrumpy) :)

Yaaaaay billy!!! Tell me who you are backing in the Cup and I'll become a diehard fan. :hug:

Its sad to see him trying to hang on until they bench him.

These guys just love playing.
If you were healthy (I question how healthy Farve is) but would you stop playing something you love?
:shrug:

The Bears will beat them twice again!!!

RL

quota on beating the Pack.You might have to score some points this season.On offense that is.

I love watching him get sacked, he gets so pissed!

Hopefully he can come back from his nagging injury he suffered in 2001. That division is weak, guys. Minnesota was supposed to be a SuperBowl contender last year and they did nothing. Bears look good but need to kick it up on offense. Lions are well, the lions. I think the Pack can win that division. They have high draft picks, so these players will make a difference. Hawk is the real deal and he'll do great. Even if the Pack goes 9-7 or 10-6, I can see them making the playoffs; at 10-6, perhaps even the division with tiebreakers against da bears

He screamed at them one time last year.He doesn't get sacked that often.One of the least sacked QB'S of all time.

like when was he going to annmounce one way or another

Packers To Favre: 'Take Your Time, Asshole'
April 13, 2006 | Onion Sports

ASHWAUBENON, WI—Green Bay Packers front-office officials have informed three-time MVP Brett Favre they can wait for his decision on whether or not he's planning to retire for "as long as it fucking takes." "This is a big decision for Brett Favre, and we can't deny that he's the heart and soul of our team, the most important Packer, the most important person in all of America, and the center of the whole entire universe," Packer general manager Ted Thompson said Tuesday. "It's not like we have to make any major decisions that all hinge on whether or not he's returning, after all. We'll just ride around on our lawn tractors on our farm in Mississippi while we wait for him to make up his goddamn mind." Favre would not say when he might announce his decision, admitting that he was "too much in awe of what Mr. Brilliant Genius Thompson did with the 4-12 Packers last year" to commit one way or the other.
