Favre to retire....again

[Facedown]

ESPN is reporting Favre will retire....no really....he means it this time....really.
Odds?

[johnk5150]

I will believe it when he's in street clothes on week 1.

[WTF]

Didn't training camp just open?....

[tripsgirl]

[noam_bombsky]

This horseshit isn't even newsworthy anymore. He's just doing this to get out of training camp.

[Heenan Snuka]

he's physically not ready but he will still try to eye a comeback in the middle of the season if he can

[ParaDime77]

I'll bet you he files the retirement papers, but never signs them. This dude holds the Vikings, Viking Fans, ESPN and Sport Radio fucking hostage year after year. This is just part of "The Game" for Bert. Rest assure he'll be picking up his damn teeth out of karma against the Saints in the opener.

IF this news turns out to be true, we can safely subtract 4 games from the Vikings' projected win total (and add 2 to the Packers'). If in fact this is really the end, it has been an absolute privilege and a pleasure to follow his career. However, I'm not buying it. Had this news come out back in April or May I think it would have been legit, but being that we're this close to opening day I think it's probably a case of gamesmanship. I mean MAYBE he just now came to grips with the ankle not being good enough to get back out there, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if this is being done to mess with the Saints' heads prior to opening night.

[Machado]

fuck that puto.

whatever respect he earned for starting all those consecutive games wearing a packers uniform are worthless now.

his legacy is the fact that he's selfish and does not care about his teamates.

the vikings are not much of a threat with him as the qb.

and if brett favre returns to the team after the bye week, fuck that puto!
i hope someone gives the idiot a compound fracture.
better yet, maybe he will slide on the turf and injure himself.

get off the field already ya girl!

Yeah, THAT'S what it is.

Imbecile.

I'm trying to figure something out - who is worse? Farve or Hitler?

On one hand, Farve has retired as many times as Sugar Ray Leonard. Hitler only retired once.

But on the other hand, Farve has a much better win-loss record, and actually won the big game.

So who is worse? A strong case could be made for both.

I'll let Juggs handle this one.

You give it a shot, Indy. If anyone should be commenting on sports/athletics......

Yeah that's an awesome story. I suppose it will be used by certain idiots to negate a Super Bowl appearance or two.

I also suppose it means he comes back. Again. With everyone talking about his cock, he'll be anxious to get back on the field to throw another season ending INT to change the conversation back to football.

Now he'll play if he's healthy.

[thejuggernaut]

MANKATO, Minn.(AP) Ready for another flip-flop? Brett Favre is planning to play for the Minnesota Vikings this season if his surgically repaired ankle allows it.

Vikings offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell and Favre's agent, Bus Cook, both said Wednesday that the veteran quarterback plans to play if he is healthy. He had surgery on the ankle in May.

Bevell has been close friends with Favre since he was his quarterbacks coach with the Green Bay Packers.

"I know it's a decision that he wrestles with," Bevell said after Wednesday morning's practice as Favre was throwing the ball around with high school students in Mississippi. "He's a great player. He's a great competitor. He mulls things over. He's an emotional guy. So he thinks things through long and hard and takes his time with his decision. So I'm not surprised that things started to come out. We just have to wait and see."

Bevell said he has spoken to the 40-year-old quarterback recently, but not in the last 24 hours. He said it's been his understanding that if Favre's ankle heals well enough, he will return to play for the Vikings this season.

"That's what I've been getting all along," Bevell said.

Cook said Favre will visit his surgeon, Dr. James Andrews, next week for an evaluation.

"He's working out really hard and everything seems to indicate that if he is healthy and can contribute and play at the level that he has become accustomed to, he will play," Cook said.

The two-year contract Favre signed last year calls for him to make $13 million this season and Cook said he has not begun negotiations on any adjustments to the contract.

Outside Oak Grove High School in Hattiesburg, Miss., Favre told reporters his decision is "not about the money." He also said he has been in touch with the team and "they know what's going on with me."

On Tuesday, a person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press that Favre had contacted teammates and team officials to tell them his ankle was not healing and that he wasn't going to return for a second season in Minnesota. Tight end Visanthe Shiancoe confirmed the report, saying Favre "told a couple guys on our team he's going to retire."

Shiancoe said Wednesday he still had not heard from Favre directly and declined further comment.

Like the rest of the league, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said he was taking a "wait and hear" approach to the latest twist in the Favre saga.

"Brett Favre is great for our game. And I think the passion he has for the game is extraordinary," he said. "I think we all love to see him play, but we want him to do what's best for him at the end of the day."

Favre has considered retiring every summer since 2002. It led to an ugly parting with the Packers that got him traded from Green Bay to the Jets in 2008. After a so-so season in New York, he announced his retirement in early 2009 for the second time, then reconsidered and signed with the Vikings.

He had one of his best seasons last year, with career bests in completion percentage (68.4), quarterback rating (107.2) and fewest interceptions (7), while throwing for 33 TDs and 4,202 yards to lead the Vikings (12-4) to an NFC North title. He hurt his left ankle in the NFC championship loss to the New Orleans Saints and had arthroscopic surgery in May.

"He is an emotional guy. He does tell you how he's feeling. He is very honest," Bevell said. "That's what I love about him and that's what a lot of people love about him. Sometimes it serves him well, sometimes it doesn't."

It gives ESPN something to discuss. Childress should cut bait and move on. Here in Ohio all the sports news has been about TO, another washed up hack.

LAMO @ all the haters here on the verge of going into full meltdown mode over the mere fact that Favre's name is in the headlines again.

MAKE HIM GO AWAY!!! WAAAAAAAHHH!!!

Too funny!!!

[Kid-Wicked]

here's the deal......

he doesn't want to go through training camp. if he's healthy and doesn't go to camp he gets suspended. he doesn't want that on his resume.

he isn't turning down 13 million(which has now been upped to 20 million if he plays.)

so he plays the "i'm still hurt" card until the last week of camp.

he's playing this year.

Hey man, if you like being jerked around like a puppet as a fan, then more power to you. All your experience with Bret Michaels this year has prepared you for this.

Hey constipated face, have you forgotten your obsessive hatred for Tom Brady ?

You also never answered the question - is Bret Michaels a criminal, yes or no ?

The broad he's stalking.

The broad he's stalking.

When did she give up her status as the official FSU slut ?

Pretty sure she's equal opportunity sluttage. Saw her whoring it up at Wrigley in Cubs gear last year. Denise Richards is the only other broad I've seen at Wrigley that bests her in the hot dept.

[ParaDime77]

Sounds like the Ol' Gunslinger was sending that broad pics of his wang.

[LAglamrocker]

i love how ESPN creates the story, then makes Farve the bad guy in the media

the guy is a legend and all casual fans love seeing him play, when hes gone the NFL loses a huge star

Read the part of the story where he sent her pics of himself masturbating wearing crocs. That's so awesome it's almost surreal.

Deadspin is catching a ton of shit for running with the story without the pics, but you know it happened.

The NFL loses huge stars all the time, this is one that only Favre nutswingers give a shit about. He's more legendary these days because of of retire/changed my mind schtick than for anything he does on the field anymore, Fuck his crawfish huntin' ass.
