With all due respect, my friend.

Well, he'll have to talk it over with his family which takes a couple of months. Must be slow talkers. And the vikings will have to kiss his ass to his liking. You see sports figures like favre have to wait till the end of the season to talk about their future. Seems they only have enough room in their brains to concentrate on one thing at a time and during the season, that can only be football. I don't know how the fuck they drive. Anyway, nobody will know for sure until July and of course a lot will depend on favre's HGH dealer being able to keep him supplied.

Oh, stop it about the 'traitor' business already.

Just like any other athlete, BF's talent on the field was his commodity, and he capitalized on it.

stoneric

I don't know if this is directed at me but if it is please reread my post. The subject has changed.

And no doubt farvre's talent was his commodity. He still played the fans.

HTAM

Nah, it was an 'in general' post about the 'traitor' thing. That's why there are contracts.

Anyone with an agent, in any industry, only answers to what is in their best interests, and their contract.

HTAM

This is a loooooonnnnnnnng read, but I found it very interesting. Wanna understand how much agents have changed 'the game' and I'm not tawkin' just the NFL?

Read this.

brett sort of played the fans. but he was under so much pressure from everybody that he just spits out answers too quick. the media is on his ass 24/7 and they dont rest until they find a story

Being

yes, of course he wanted more cash (as if he needed it), but if that was the honest case, he could have just stayed with the jets OR ANY OTHER TEAM.

dude, be realistic, he was pissed at thompson and wanted revenge.

boiled down...

green bay was going to sit him...

the jets, vikings, and a few other unnamed teams will/would start him...

it's all pretty simple, any other emotion involved is that of your own, which has no bearing on a man getting payed to play ball....

No way. Green Bay wouldn't have sat him if he had said he was going to play 2 more years instead of "retiring". I'm sure they were ready to move on without him but favre owned the town and thompson would have been hung by his balls if he had tried to dump favre. favre decided to play in July which gave the Packers the excuse they needed. The fact that he pursued the vikings immediately is what pissed off the Packer fans.

It wasn't about money, it was about ego.

pacman

wrong. if packer fans werent toothless fuckheads, they would be mad at the management

not the guy who was the face of the franchise for more than 15 years

Being

packers fans are pissed at thompson, trust me. when favre was with the jets, it was ok.

but favre purposely pulled this shit with the vikings to piss the packers off. if he didn't want to piss thompson off he would ofstayed with the jets. plain and simple. favre played too many games with the retiring shit and it pissed thompson off one to many years in a row. yeah thompson should have waited, but favre started it all by threatening retirement over and over.

the face of the franchise knew what he was doing. he wanted revenge and he found a way to do it. he originally wasn't allowed to play for the vikings but he used the jets and another retirement to get there.

be realistic guys, he could have stayed with the jets. he wanted revenge. not much else to it, its not that hard to understand.

He fucking retired. No one forced him to retire. Nothing happens if he doesn't retire.

So you must hate jordan for buying into the wizards and coming back just to sell his venture?

catastrophe

The corpse that was the Vikings' 2009 season hadn't even had time to become cold late Sunday night when the first report surfaced that Brett Favre had said he was "highly unlikely" to come back for another year.

The information provided by ESPN promised to be the first of many Favre-related nuggets that emerge in the coming weeks and perhaps months as the quarterback ponders whether to return for a 20th NFL season and second with the Vikings. The most important thing is to take every report with a grain of salt.

Favre, 40, retired following the 2007 season and again last February, only to change his mind on both occasions before missing any regular-season games. Even Favre's teammates know now is not the time to make predictions.

"It's still early," wide receiver Bernard Berrian said before exiting the Winter Park locker room Monday and heading into the offseason. "Way too early. Brett is liable to change his mind five, 10 times down the road."

The fact anyone would think Favre could make up his mind about the future after a gut-wrenching 31-28 overtime loss at New Orleans in the NFC Championship Game is surprising. Favre is notorious for deciding he has had enough in the days after the season, and that likely is the case this time. Favre wasn't sacked by the Saints, but absorbed by far the most punishment he has taken all season.

Great article. I've read it many times before when favre was a Packer , just with a different cast.
