At least he didn't let the drama drag on as long as he did last year.
That shit almost made me stop listening to sports radio.
Somewhere Aaron Rodgers is shooting a Brett Farve fat head wall graphic.
So is Packers' management. I think they wanted him to retire last year, part of the reason they dumped Sherman. They just want to move on at this point but they can't say so for the PR disaster.
trade farve and be done with it.
I suppose it buys the Packers another year to decide if Aaron Rodgers is a bust or not.
I kinda like this move by Favre. The Packers grew as a team during the season, and played well near the end. A team most thought would stink up their division at the start of the season posted a respectable 8-8 mark. With a couple of off-season moves, the Pack might make the playoffs in 2007.
I'm almost certain if GB dropped another 4-12 season on Favre, he would've called it quits. Dude still has a cannon for an arm, and he's always thrown interceptions.

Here's more of his vids:
Glenn starts crying at exactly 3:05 of that video.
Nice. Really nice.
That's maybe the greatest song ever recorded.
This shitty rap one or the Chariots of Fire theme?
Also, you didn't watch the whole thing so you had no idea about the Chariots of Fire theme.
The shitty rap one. I love how blatantly terrible it is.
The shitty rap ruined a great commercial.
This is why I hate Cameron Diaz:
Old article I dug up on SportsPickle.Quote:
Terrorists struck at America’s greatest treasure today, detonating a bomb that was placed under Brett Favre’s truck. But the national hero snuffed out the blast with his legendary throwing arm, sparing himself and others from serious injury or death.
“The JFK assassination, the Challenger explosion, these were all great national tragedies – Whoop! Whoop! Whoop!” said NFL broadcaster Chris Berman. “But rooting for Brett Favre is like rooting for America, it just is. And had he been felled, I doubt our country could ever truly recover. Bumbling, stumbling, fumbling!”
President Bush said Favre has been the primary target of terrorists for years.
“Brett Favre is America,” said President Bush. “No one believed we could thread the needle of freedom through the triple coverage of oppression, but we did. And today we stand aging and wiser, yet still a kid at heart. This is why evil-doers wish Brett Favre harm. He is everything that is great about America – but then multiplied by a thousand and covered in rugged stubble. Taking him down is the only thing that would truly hurt this country, and the terrorists know it. And no amount of prescription painkillers would dull that pain.”
The attack on Favre came this afternoon as he was about to leave the team’s facility following practice. The heroic gunslinger spotted a time bomb stuck in his pick-up truck’s wheel well, but decided to cover the bomb with his hulking hand instead of discarding it. The huge blast left Favre’s truck a smoking heap of metal, but made no mark on his hand.
“I haven’t missed a start in my career due to injury and Al-Qaeda thinks a little car bomb is going to hurt me?” Favre asked. “If they believe that, I’ve got some swamp land in Mississippi to sell them. No, seriously, I have lots of swamp land I can sell.”
Packers head coach Mike McCarthy says the bomb scene was vintage Favre.
“People asked me why Brett didn’t just grab the bomb and throw it far out of the way before it blew up,” said McCarthy. “Well, the answer to that is simple. Brett Favre never plays it safe. He never throws it away. In fact, he’d be more likely to throw a bomb into a group of three or four children than to throw it away.”
I could picture favre throwing a bomb into a group of 4 children, but when i picture it, only one of them has a Packers jersey on. It just doesn't make sense. Why would he throw into that big of a crowd when he's only got one guy in there? I'm glad he never does that in real life.

Your wife should be concerned. Madden may be one of only 5 people with a stronger man crush on BF.
Loving the Vicodin pic.
Awesome thread.
I don't like the pic with Madden though.
Favre's addiction to painkillers was 1000000x more intense than Jesse's addiction to caffeine pills.
I understand America's love of Favre.
I don't understand why people like Clemens' fat ass though.
Favre vs. Clemens poll?
Just reported on Mike and Mike by Mortensen.
Jay Glazer initially reported it and Mortensen confirmed it.

The most storied quarterback career in NFL history is coming to a close.
FOXSports.com has learned that legendary quarterback Brett Favre has decided to retire. In fact, it's believed he informed the Packers of his decision within the last few days, although it's unclear when Favre and the team will make his decision known.
So barring an unforeseen last-minute change of heart, Favre will leave the game after 17 years, during which he built himself into a household name and a figure synonymous with grit, toughness and perseverance.
Neither GM Ted Thompson nor head coach Mike McCarthy returned several calls left by FOXSports.com for confirmation.
After flirting with retirement for the last few years, Favre will finally go out on the heels of one of the best seasons of his career.
He led the Packers to the NFC Championship Game after passing for a stunning 4,155 yards, looking very much at times like a younger version of himself. In addition he threw 28 TDs — including an overtime Hail Mary pass to beat Denver in front of a national audience — and had a 95.7 quarterback rating. He was also voted into the Pro Bowl following the 2007 season but declined to go.
Favre leaves the game as the all-time record holder in several categories including wins, passing yards, touchdowns and consecutive games started. A three-time MVP, The southern swashbuckler won fans over with his carefree style that epitomized the "gunslinger" moniker and made fans out of everyone from the guy next door to those already enshrined in Canton.
If in fact, Favre does not have a change of heart, his final pass of a Hall of Fame Career was an interception by the Giants' Corey Webster, setting up New York's overtime win in the NFC title game.
For the last few years, the question of whether or not Favre was going to retire has been the most debated topic during the off-season. Two years ago he let his decision linger as reports both that he was returning and that he was retiring emerged. In fact, at one point he was supposedly going to announce his retirement at his charity golf tournament. Of course, those reports ultimately proved to be false.
Then after his final game of the 2006 season, a tearing and emotional Favre appeared on national TV and seemed to be bidding the game adieu. But once again, he had a change of heart and came back for what proved to be one heck of a final hurrah.
This time, Favre has made his decision and will likely make it publicly known soon. However, like in the past, Favre could wake up any day now and decide to change his mind, although that doesn't seem likely at this point.
The team will now shift to Aaron Rodgers, a former first-round pick, who has had few opportunities to play since being selected with the 24th overall pick in the 2005 draft. But when Favre was injured in a Thursday night game against Dallas this past season, Rodgers looked pretty good in relief. The former Cal star completed 18 of 26 passes for 201 yards and a touchdown — the first of his career — and nearly rallied the Packers to the win.
Nice to see him go out on a high note. The season he had was a pretty epic comeback for a guy who was all but written off as washed up.
This just in...John Madden has locked himself in his bus and extensive sobbing can be heard from miles around.
Overrated tool.
Most storied career? You have gotta be kidding me Jay Glazer. Don't get me wrong, I love favre, but I hate how ESPN has that stupid favre thing on the bottom line. Sunday Night Football, with Michaels, Madden, and Favre?
needs more wrangler
Favre used to be one of my favorite players. The last few years I got real tired of all the circus going on with him staying or retiring. I think his legacy has lost a little luster with that. If he had simply played up until retiring with no debate every year whether he was coming back or not...I think people would view him a little differently.
It looks like ESPN is NOT even going to commercials right now. LOL.
WDFN reporting ESPN flags at half mass.
Geez, this is getting even more coverage than the Pistons waiving Flip Murray. WTF?
The NFL (National Favre League) still has Brady at least.
*puke*
Well, he's the all time leader in passing yards, passing attempts, passing completions, passing touchdowns (ints too), and wins. Not to mention he won 3 consecutive MVP awards from 95-97.Quote:
