Favre refuses to gtfo; Vikings players say he is ALREADY a Vike

[Argath]

dude loves the game, and wants to keep playing it while he can, i dont understand why people are hating on him

if he really loved the game he wouldn't have retired 2 times now. he loves the attention, not the game.

 

[Juggernaut]

I'm so happy for this, Old Man Brett is gonna lead the Vikes to a Division Championship

I think he loves both.

oh so if you retire that means you dont love the game right?

 

[Argath]

Your missing my point.

If he truelly loved the game, why would he walk away from it twice? It's like marrying a girl, divorcing her, then marrying her again only to divorce her a year later. It's just retarded, either you want to be with her or you don't. There's no if's and's or but's about it.

Anyone who understands Brett Favre knows that as soon as he signs the deal with the Vikings he will announce his retirement.

you do realize he had to actually retire from the jets to get his release otherwise he wouldn't be able to sign with the vikings the one, and basically only team, he wanted to sign with.

Why would he want to sign with the Vikings so bad? So he could get revenge on the packers? Sounds to me like he's only interested in getting revenge

It probably has something to do with AP, an offense similar to what he ran in GB and a great defense as well.

 

[adembroski]

In all fairness, I think everyone would choose the path he is choosing if they could. What would you rather do?

A) Walk to two flights of stairs. Get into your car. Go buy beer. Drive back. Open Beer. Drink it.

or

B) Have someone bring you the beer. Open it for you. Drink it.

I'm in favor of B.

Are you saying Favre can't get women?

Ding...ding...ding Childress and Favre go way back because when he was at UW, they were allowed full access to the Packers facilities and sat in on most of their offensive meetings. They have a nearly identical playbook and with the talent on the team, Brett won't have to carry them on his back. COMPLETELY opposite of the scenario he had with the Jets last season.

Playing against Ted Thompson visa vi the Packers is just the icing on the cake for Favre.

Real. Comfortable. Jackass.

Is it me or did it seem he was wearing the same exact clothes he wore in that commercial AND for his Jets presser last year?

You'd think this fool had another hat...

 

[MrBill]

You'd think this fool had another hat...

He's said something about the hat before, think his oldest daughter gave it to him for Father's Day or birthday many years ago.

So he really does think it's still 1994?

the guy has had what 2-3 good seasons this decade? I personally have hated himsince he 1st started the will i or will i not retire routine.

he's the most overrated athlete this decade has to offer and he wins the title by a landslide..

 

[dave]

IMO, it's two reasons:
A) Personal vanity
B) Revenge against the Packers

And he's going to fail on both counts.

He's too old ... and the Packers are not a legit playoff contender.

The Vikings are a very solid team, but Favre is too old and likely not gonna play 16 games.

The Packers are bringing in a new D and not that good a team anyway.

Eh, that'd be this guy:

Favre's rating is derived from a different decade so its hard to say this decade had him to offer. Yes, he's overrated, but it's a product of his legendary status a decade ago. Hard to knock a guy for no longer being incredible.

Good thing the Vikes have the Pack at home in week #4 [MNF game-s/b a huge audience] or Brett may not be around to play against them at Lambeau. :crutch:
