Brett Favre retires (again)

[DJD]

Not trying to be superior Tim T...it's just when you made the statement that Brett couldn't carry some of these "wannabies" jocks that you listed....you was just so far off base with that statment;...I had to STAND UP up for the best player that ever played the QB position. Brett will make up for the happenings with the Vikings misfortunes as of late...(ie. losing his No. 1 WR, Rice for the next 6 or 7 games). Once again Brett will shut-up all critics for at least for a night! He will have over 250 yards passing and at least 2 passing TD's! Vikings 27 - Saints-24

Man I hope your right. I can't stand the Saints! They have become some symbolic group that stands up for all the problems that the state endures.


I don't think they started it (prolly ESPN) but they are running with it for sure. Gag! They are a football team! I really hate the spin that gets put on making these guys supermen and football gods...play the dang game!!

I like Favre although I'm tired of his antics.

OOPS! Nice job Brett! "Down goes Frazier!" Same amount of td's as there was INT's.

NOT! How about 15-27 for 171 yards a TD and of course his most patented pass, and interception. Also had a QB rating of 71.7.

Compare that to Drew Brees who went 27-36 for 237 and 1 TD. No interceptions and a qb rating of 101.3.

That's ok...You know, I do believe Brett was going to retire...but came back after the coach and players asked him to return for another year; so it showed that his timing with his recievers was off a bit; not being involved in pre-season practices showed. This will greatly improve though...so will the rest of the offence. Brett had a good first half...great shots up the middle for the drive..and TD. He took a very hard shot that would have taken most QB's to the bench for a spell...but not Brett. He did show his age in the 4th...but his endurance and speed will get better. Im not worried;...was suprised it was such a low scoring game. But if I had to pick one QB...for one night...one game vic...I'd still go with Brett over the rest. I look for these two teams to play again...

If I had to pick one QB for one game when I need a victory, I would pick someone who hasn't ended the last three seasons by throwing an interception to end a drive. Of course, that is just me and I tend to be one of those malcontents that thinks the score on the big bright board with all the lights actually means something!
