Major Mud Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Per SI.com * 08:07 AM ET 05.03 One NFL source insists Brett Favre can't peacefully retire until he finds a way to get revenge on the Packers. He wants back into the NFC North so he can face the Packers twice. The Bears traded for Jay Cutler and the Lions drafted Matthew Stafford. Hello, Minnesota. "Favre can't stand Green Bay," the source said. "He wants to play Green Bay and say, 'I told you so.' His bitterness is creating this. I think he's calling Minnesota. I think Minnesota is talking about this as we speak. You haven't heard the end of Favre. No way. He is bionic. As long as somebody will let him in, he will play."

H2o Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 I wouldn't doubt it. The thing is, the way irony works, he would probably end up getting a career ending injury against his old team. Can you imagine Kampman ending his career with a "Brady-esque" knee shot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayFinkle Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Playing half his games in a dome in the NFC North with an incredible run game and an offense he is familiar with.

He shouldn't retire if he still wants to play. He should make it be known that he wants to play regards of what anyone thinks. The media and the league have been pushing him to retire. My thing is . . . he never said he wanted to quit. The media just hounded him until he retired. He should have said I'm not retiring . . . get over it.

San Jose Bills Fan Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 I wish Brett would do everybody a Favre and retire for good. Enough already!! Very funny. Best QB ever???? That is ridiculous!! That's when you're supposed to say who's better. Of the guys a bit older, Elway and Young are certainly in Favre's class. Of the guys a bit younger Manning and Brady have an argument. Warner and Big Ben are not there yet IMO. But there have been so many great QB's in NFL history. I hope he comes back. Watching Brett Favre play this game has always been a pleasure...nothings changed. Mostly true point. You know the vikings qb situation is bad when a 40 year old washed up bret farve who is coming off of surgery is by far a better option than all of the qb's on their roster. If i were a vikes fan i would want bret but as a game manager much like he was in his last year at green bay when they were one game away from the super bowl And what's the chances that Childress would be able to control Favre? Remember how Marino was in Miami? Seemed like he took the team away from Shula at some point. They could never run the ball nor did they try. I think Favre has the same sort of ego. I mean all that drama the last few years with him... Favre is old news now. He isn't enertaining to me. I lost respect for him in the past year or so. I think he hurts the game more than he helps it by coming back again. I think he hurts himself more than he hurts the game. The game will always be there and it's way bigger than any one player.

If i were a vikes fan i would want bret but as a game manager much like he was in his last year at green bay when they were one game away from the super bowl This also concerns me in terms of the NFL turning into a sideshow. Favre is washed up, but he will sell tickets. Sanchez came out of nowhere in the last month before the draft and was the #5 pick. I don't know if he is any good, but he will sell PSLs, ya know? Btw, I disagree, but people probably use this analogy wrt the Bills and TO. I just hope that it all works for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Payton and Brady will probobly both break passing records and TD records that are held by #4. They will probobly do it without playing 20 years and throwing 300 ints too. It really depends on opinion at this point. You say Favre, and others can say Montana, Young, Elway, Unitas, Graham. Quit thinking your opinion is the only one worth listening to. They are all greats and could all be considered to be #1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
