Heroes get remembered... Legends never die.

His INTs were legendary.

Everything about him is legendary.

Anyone who denies the great things this lil dick bastard has done over the years is foolish, and I don't think anyone here legitimately does that. Some hate him and some love him, whatever.


But this...

What ?!?

A guy who thinks hes more important than any player or coach. A guy whos impaired teams from getting replacements or better players because of his indecision. A guy who wasted a year for a franchise (jets). Destroyed another coaches chance at having any respectability. Someone who was nothing short of a distraction for his front office and teammated for 3-4 straight off seasons. Thats whats good about football ??

Brett Favre is the hallmark of what is WRONG with todays athletes. Im not even going to get into his team crippling INTs thrown solely on his selfish "yeah I can do it all with my arm" rookie attitude.

You guys want to live in the mid 90s thats fine. But hes a selfish spoiled attention whore whos been as detrimental as he ever was positive for this game.

...can also not be ignored, and it is, by just about every one of the Favre ball fluffers here. He made it all about him by his own decisions. Don't go blaming the media or whatever the fuck, he infected our morning Game Day's and sunday night Primetime's with his drama, fuck him.

He's so fucked this season that it's easy to forget how good he actually was.

I didn't see him in his prime, but earlier this decade he was the shit. Until the past few years, he was arguably the biggest icon in all of sports.

classic......you could always count on his int's.....

It's hard to say since the league didn't really care about concussions until this year. He's taken a lot of hard shots over the years and I'd speculate at least a dozen but it could be more than that.

Yeah, it's not like multiple concussions ended Steve Young or Troy Aikman's career 10 years ago or anything ...

A dozen concussions is a laughable exaggeration, and if it were true, he's about 6 months away from turning into a vegetable.

So long Old man..

But the NFL didn't give a shit, if they could have peeled themselves up off of the turf they could have gone right back in the game before this year.

A dozen concussions is a laughable exaggeration, and if it were true, he's about 6 months away from turning into a vegetable.

The officially diagnosed number of concussions for Steve Young was 7 and Troy Aikman was 10. They have both said they believe the number to be higher. That means Young averaged a concussion once every 20.4 games and Aikman averaged one every 18 games.

Considering the shots that Favre has taken over a significantly longer period of time and his disregard of the opinions of the medical staff, it will likely never be known jus how many he had so hence my use of the word speculation.

Well he did get hit 15-20 times a game right?

 

[NAHSTE]

You forgot all the vicious hits he was taking every day in practice.

 

[MrBill]

You forgot all the vicious hits he was taking every day in practice.

And Michael Vick never killed a dog himself, he was just the money man. Right?

:wave:

What do you think is more plausible:

NFL teams let their quarterbacks get hit in practice.

-or-

Millionaire who employs a dozen of his friends/cousins to run an illegal dog fighting enterprise five states away allows said lackeys to handle his dirty work. That's stupider than Rawls expecting to catch Avon Barksdale with dope on the table.


I still haven't seen anywhere where Vick said he actually killed any dogs with his hands. All he said in his official testimony is that the killing of the dogs was a "collective effort," which could mean a lot of things. Maybe he did handle some dogs himself, or maybe he was in the room watching, or maybe that just means he gave the go ahead over the phone, etc. "Collective efforts" leaves a lot more gray area than "DON'T HIT THE QUARTERBACK" which you know damn well is a league-wide policy. Shit, even high school teams don't let their QB practice live.

Stop deflecting from the point, which is that any time Favre is involved, you resort to hyperbole and hagiography.

 

[Primetime]

I think 12 concussions would be on the low end of the spectrum for Favre.

Read the plea Nahste.

"Collective effort" with Peace and Phillips means Vick directly took part in the hangings and drowings along with them.

The guy killed dogs.

"Collective effort" is just a more formalized/"legalized" way of saying it. That's all.

Point 11 on Page 5 of the first link is a telling sign.

"Vick did not kill any dogs at this time." Which means he later did. Which is where the "collective efforts" comes in at the end of the plea.

That's fine, and I've already admitted in previous threads that I insulated myself from the story. But at no point in Brett Favre's career has he ever taken a hit in practice, and that statement is far more retarded than "I don't think a millionaire with dozens of lackeys/henchmen would be getting his hands dirty like that."

I was proven wrong, but it's still a plausible assumption to make, isn't it? At least when compared to the idiocy of suggesting Favre was taking 15-20 hits every day.

 

[G-men]

found out today that the guy who knocked him out went to my high school, so thats kinda cool.

and hey, at least he didnt finish off by throwing a pick this time.

And especially considering Favre's reputation and the starts streak, he could easily have had as many concussions as Aikman if not more.
