Glad he is out of the NFC

[Lomax 2 Green]

I'd heard earlier today that the Packers were asking less from the Jets than the Bucs, cant say that is a big surprise though.

[Oly1]

breaking news.

Glad he is out of the NFC

No way why? It would be funny if they traded him for a number one to the vikings.

Not funny for the cards but it would burn the packers.;joker:

[Boldinfan]

it makes me sick to see 4 play for another team and i hate packers but farve shouldn't play for another team.

[NightHawk11and81]

I hope we end his career now.

[maddawg]

I would not be suprised if there is a poison pill within the contract that does not allow Farve to be traded to the vikings (re two first round draft picks).

[salty]

I hope we end his career now.

Wow I did not expect that coming from you!! HEh you gained a little respect on the salty scale. (which probable means nothing to you)

[KidStallyn]

Broadway Brett??

[Harmon]

I hope we end his career now.

I hope you get crabs..

[Lomax 2 Green]

Is the jersey available yet ??

[NightHawk11and81]

I hope you get crabs..

Unlike Favre, I've done nothing to deserve that wish.

[jeffcard80]

wow, it would be great if he would pull a Jake Plummer just to mess with jets fans.

[5Rings4US]

Unlike Favre, I've done nothing to deserve that wish.

But that was still a dumbazz comment to make...:angry:

[wegoingtothesuperbowl]

I hope we end his career now.

If we want to do that all we need to do is make sure Iwebema gets a hand on him. He's already taken out 3 of our linemen. ;joker:

[NinjaMonkey]

I hope we end his career now.

that was classy... why do you even care? what has favre done to you?

[jeffcard80]

But that was still a dumbazz comment to make...:angry:

Can't blame him, a lot of us are sick of Bret already.

[NinjaMonkey]

Can't blame him, a lot of us are sick of Bret already.

dosent exuse wishing or hoping for injury to someone specially when you dont even know the person personally... heck I'm sick of hearing about him everytime I turn on total access or Spots Center and I think both sides mades some bad moves dosent mean I want any of them to be injuried.

I lose all respect for anyone wishing harm on anyone that really hasnt done anything to deserve it.

There were doubts going into the season about him but now we can start guessing how this domino effects others. Chad to SF anyone?!

Maybe tampa bay will pick him up LOL

[NightHawk11and81]

I lost all respect for him during this offseason. Given the way he's treated the Packer organization and dragged that franchise through the mud, he deserves to never play football again. That's just the way I see it. Only way that happens is through injury.

Brett Favre has proven himself to be one of the most selfish players in sports. Before this, my list of athletes that I've wished injury on was at one: Darcy Tucker. Favre doubled it. He's a classless ***** who has acted even worse than Terrell Owens or Chad Johnson, thus earning my ire.

I agree. This preseason he's shown his diva colors but because he's brett people will give it a free pass. Used to like him, but then again I used to like Chad Johnson too but both have shown recently that it's about them and only them.

Yeah, next time say Steve Young, not Favre, we have ended one HOF Qb's career, lets make it two.:Cards logo:

[Lomax 2 Green]

Wow, I just saw on ESPN that if the Jets trade Favre to the Vikings then they will owe the Packers 3 1st round picks.

[Darth Llama]

Well, I'm not going to wish Injury on Brett, I find that a bit much. Still, I agree that he acted in a classless and selfish fashion, and I have lost all respect for Favre.

It sucks too, I have rooted for Brett Favre for longer then I can remember. He's always been one of my favorite players, but this incident has exposed what a selfish two face he really is. I'm not going to say I hope he gets hurt, but I hope the Cards blitz his sorry *** till he just gives up and gets benched. THAT would be funny.:thumbsup:

I seem to remember not too long ago that I was one of the few posters on this board warning about the evils of Brett worship...funny how a little clarity can show a guy's true colors.

But hey, the Jets have just become a lock for 7-9 now!!! And Favre will probably not want to end on a low note, so we'll see him for at least another season after 2008, right?

I think a dose of the AFC will do him good. :)

[Seahawks4ever]

I'm just glad he didn't go to the bucs. they were a good team last even though they faded down the stretch. He would have been back in Gruden's offense, the original offense he played in. Favre could have put them over the top. The Packers did themselves, and all other NFC Playoff contenders a favor by picking the Jets over the Bucs.

I wish for injury and I do so with the idea that the only way to get rid of this Favre character and to make him retire once and for all is for him to get hurt. I wish for this to be a long drawn out season that ends with a losing record as well just so next off season we don't have to go through all this crap his final statement will be something like "F that I'm done"

Favre didnt mess anything up, it was the ******** Packers and the head coach who messed up. All favre wanted to do was go and play football. And the Packers wouldnt give the starting job back because he was gone for...2 months? What the hell Packers! And everyone started saying its impossible for him to make a comeback...ITS BEEN 2 MONTHS!!! Favre acted the way most players in the NFL would have, said "this is bulls**t, im better than this guy, and they wont give me the job, so ill go to a different team". But here come the packers saying "no, we wont give you the starting job, but we won't release you..." So they dont want him to start, but they are afraid to play him against another team. That is utter crap right there, so Favre didnt screw up, it was the Fudge Packers who did. The packers should have traded him, like sooooo many other players before him were. You suck Packers, you ruined the name of a great player! :thumpsdown: :thumpsdown:

If Favre didn't file retirement papers, I might agree with you. If, after numerous attempts by the Packers to convince him to keep playing, he had said "OK" at any time BEFORE the draft and come back, I might agree with you. But this is about more than two months, it's about saying "no...no...no...no...YES!" when it was much too late.

As it is, the Packers drafted another QB and had to deal with the one who is already on the roster preparing to start for this team. Favre was shortsighted if he thought he could come and go as he pleased and the Packers would simply welcome him back. The only one to blame is Favre, he filed the papers after GB begged him to stay!!! Favre finalized the divorce, but now he wants the Packers to take him back because he's in love again? :eek:

They wanted him to play; but when he retired anyway, that ended it. They wanted him to retire as a Packer, certainly not as a Viking or a Bear!!! They wanted the man to enjoy the life of a retired hall-of-famer that can still walk, talk, and enjoy life outside of football. This guy has had 17 seasons, broken every meaningful record there is, and has a Super Bowl ring. But that's not enough for him...instead, we will get to see Favre's "Willie Mays" moment sometime this season because he didn't know when to quit.

The Packers owe him NOTHING...and they made the right call, once Favre decided to hang it up YOU MOVE ON. Doesn't matter if the guy wants back in; once he's out, he's out. The commish didn't have the cajones to keep him out because Favre will bring great ratings and because he didn't want to be the man who wouldn't let Brett play.

Everyone assumes that Favre will actually be good and stay healthy if he comes back again. Well, if the worst case scenario happens and this guy ends up injured and retired like Theismann after an LT hit, who's going to take the weight?

No team can be dependent on one guy...not even if his name is Brett Favre. I don't even think some fans want to see the team succeed without Favre, which is just bizarre. But they have to move on eventually - why piss off Rodgers in the process?

Same here. My first choice was for Favre to walk away on his own, to recognize he had made a decision and stick with it. He won't do that. So I see an injury as the only way to end his career. He won't do it on his own, someone has to do it for him. It may not be pretty, but sometimes, things have to get ugly.

I only want injury to happen to players who really deserve it, which is why my list is only Favre and Darcy Tucker.

That is crap...how, exactly? Wanting to keep Favre as a backup? How is there anything wrong with that?

First, he was gone for five months, retiring before the draft. No way Green Bay drafts Brian Brohm if Favre is still in the organization. He retired on his own, so Green Bay had to give the job to Rodgers. Favre cannot just come back and the Packers have to hand him the job. It doesn't work like that. You have a young quarterback, you need to build confidence in him, which he cannot do in that situation.

Favre ruined his own name with all the times he slammed the Packer organization, yet claimed to understand. Bull, Brett. All he understands is what is best for Brett Favre. He ruined his own name, through no fault of the Packers.

Honestly, I'm getting really sick of the Favre apologists defending the indefensible.

[Tiz]

I just love it, First Favre acts surprised that the Packers moved on when he retired now someone else acts like the Pack was wrong when they clearly chose to go with a guy who was busting his *** all summer and was there for the meetings and has been working with his teammates over the guy who's not sure what he wants from one day to the next.

What I love about Favre is how he complained about the he said he said stuff in the news saying that things were said publically that he'll never be able to get over. From what I saw and read he was the one talking the packers weren't doing anything but pointing out that all along they were only concerned about Brett being 100% sure he wanted to come back.

I never "worshiped" Favre, he always had the unforgivable flaw of not being a Cardinal. :redtowel:

I did however like him because he struck me as a high character guy, kinda like Kurt Warner. He just seemed like a down to earth, classy, hard working guy that had the ultimate respect for his profession. I felt that way about Favre until this year. This year he showed he's just an older version of T.O. screaming for attention and refusing to let himself drop out of the news. His actions were pathetic, and you can now count me out of the "We love Brett" club.

Simply put.. :Censored: You Brett Favre!

I hope he gets buried under the Red Sea when we play the Jets this year.

[Fan43]

Does this mean another NY team wins the SB, this season?? LOL

[Capt. Obvious]

Well to be honest, Pennington never really made many dumb mistakes, his biggest drawback was having the arm strength of a 5 year old (that might be pushing it). He can chuck short range just fine, but I wonder if he wont get creamed again behind the current Chiefs OL. Still if he can manage the game clock and not turn the ball over he would be KCs best option IMO.

I still dont understand what they see in Croyle.

Still...back OT...seeing Favre in a Jets uni just wont seem right. I could see him in a few places besides GB but the Jets? lol.

So you are saying that Favre is the only accountable and he is the only one to take blame? I just love your hatred for something that could have been avoided. And yes Favre deserves to be the starter, he was the last 16 seasons, but now its too different? That is B.S., and then when they say he isnt the starter, he wanted a release or a trade, but that didnt happen soon. That's what pissed me off, if you dont want him to start (which he should!!), and you expect Favre to be your backup (retarded!). This is a load of crap that shouldnt be pinned on Favre, many other players were retired and came back to play for different teams, why is there an exception now? Horrible job by the packers, Favre just wants to play football, and I learned that again when they didnt take the packers bribe!

[Tiz]

So you are saying that Favre is the only accountable and he is the only one to take blame?

But wait you're only putting blame on the Franchise and not about how Favre has been wishy washy throughout this whole ordeal. He's never committed fully to any one thing. It's been proven that he did text the team to gauge interest in his return to which he replied to that it was all rumor so he was still denying his so called desire to play 10 days before he demanded a release. Not once during this time did he send in his reinstatement papers dictating that he was sincere.

His choice to retire dictated the way the Pack drafted, his choice to not get reinstated and to not work out with the team led them to move on and build around the QB they had in camp who was fully committed to this season.

Ok he retired, like many, many other people. And he came back, like other players have. So why did this B.S have to go down if they dont want him to start? Release him or trade him and get it done with. And the Packers are idiots for trying to bench Favre for Rodgers.

No, they aren't. What you don't get is how much of the quarterback position is mental. If your team doesn't have confidence in you, it's tough to play. If they reinstate Favre as starter, they essentially tell Aaron Rodgers that they've given up on him before he played a game.

One big difference for the players, like Junior Seau, who came out of retirement and played for other teams: Their contract had expired! Seau had signed a one-day contract to retire as a Charger. Then he joined the Patriots. That was crap, but perfectly within his rights, as he was not under contract to anyone.

Favre was under contract. He is owed nothing by the Packers. There is no way they should release him, because he could bring value in a trade. So Green Bay had to get reasonable value for him. They treated him like any other player. You're telling me you wouldn't want the Cardinals to act the same way if it was us in that situation? Good thing you don't run the team.

The Green Bay Packer organization, if anything, was too soft on Brett Favre and too respectful. But overall, it did a fine job.

He retired then complained that the team moved on and last I saw they did trade him. Favre, before even committing to being reinstated, demanded to be released. Not traded but released. Peter King spent a weekend with Brett in MS stated that while there the Packers sent Brett a letter inquiring about a list of teams he'd like to be traded to. Brett did not respond to muliple request. There you have it they tried to let Brett move to another team and he instead goes from demanding his release to claiming he just wanted to be a packer. So all said and done he does get released.

As for being idiotic for going with Rodgers over Favre. Last I checked when Favre missed a TC he had a 74 QB rating. Last I checked he had no intentions of going to TC with GB. Sounds to me that you don't like Facts as you seem to ignore them with your little tirade. Seems to me that your only defense for Favre is to say "But but it's Brett Favre". As if that name has some how become synonomous with Lombardi Trophies.

Well when you are scheduled to make 12 mil as a 38 year old QB in the league why would you cry for more money. He doesn't have to because the pack gave him alot when he signed his 'lifelong' contract which was supposed to keep him paid and in GB til he retired...oh it did.:wave:

You know, I don't believe in that. But it doesn't really matter. The Jets are going nowhere this year. Without Favre, they aren't better than the Patriots, they aren't better than the Bills. With Favre, they still aren't better than the Patriots, they still aren't better than the Bills and they might make the Dolphins better by handing them a quarterback. The Jets will regret this.

[The Curmudgeon]

Sept 28th I will be rooting for A-dub to plant Brett on his ***, just as much as anyone. I just think it will be fun to see him again.

[Tiz]

Actually, I think Seau played for the Dolphins for a year, but broke his arm. Then he went to New England. I think the reason he went to the Cheatriots is soley based on the Ring! Can't fault a guy for doing that, especially because they lost a Super Bowl. I was sad because the coach that year was Bobby Ross, who went to the Chargers after leading Georgia Tech to the National Championship.



He signed a one day contract to retire as a Charger, gave his whole "I'm graduating" speech then a week later was a Patriot. I understand why he went to NE and even in Interviews he acknowledged that he retired because no one made him any offers to start and Bill called him with an offer to start and a chance at a ring. He's one guy I feel deserves a ring just don't want it to be with NE.

Seau has always been a classy guy and he doesn't deserve to be put in the same perspective as the Cheaters of NE. I wish he was able to stay a Charger for his whole career but that's the way life is.

OH he was a dolphin for a few years.
