Brett Farve Discussion

Brett Farve...it seems like it was just yesterday I created the thread that joyously announced your retirement from the NFL and I was happy. Aaron Rodgers would be able to step into some mighty big shoes after three years and finally be able to make a name for himself in his own rank.

That was six months ago.

In the last week, Brett Farve has fueded, trained, been reinstated, rumored, angered teammates, pleased teammates, and now will be a New York Jet.

Yes.

A New York Jet. J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS.

Why have we not discussed this on the forum yet?

I know a few cheeseheads on this forum and I'm curious to hear your reactions, along with the rest of the forum, or for those that have followed this.

I will say this: Jeff Garcia is finally getting a break.

For the last week it's been rumored that Farve would remain a Packer, head to the arch-nemesis Bears, the Vikings, Bucs, the Jets or accept $20 million to stay retired.

With the focus turning to Tampa Bay, Garcia had to be rolling over in his grave. He probably saw fate play it's hand again.

• San Fransisco
• Cleveland
• Detroit
• Philadelphia

Each one of those teams had given him promise, then when something better came along, flung Garcia to the curb. It looked like the same thing would happen in Tampa Bay, but the Tampa Bay big wigs decided to turn down an offer for one of the most celebrated and biggest record holder to keep things the way they are.

For once, Jeff Garcia had a promised upheld. For that alone, I will be rooting for my Browns first and formost, but I will silently be rooting for Tampa Bay, because they turned upheld their promise and Green Bay has too by upholding Aaron Rodgers as starting QB for the Pack.

Discuss.

 

I found it interesting that after all this time Favre is going to the Jets and not staying with the Packers who he's been with for so long. The Packers were really not famous before him. Of course, he does seem to be getting older now, not doing quite as well, and he seems to be quite temperamental, having some ongoing feuds with the Packers management. Some things just aren't being resolved and the team cannot afford to have him showing up and taking off because he's disheartened really. They need stability and so does he. I think the move is probably best for him though it is weird to think of the Packers without Favre and he's actually not retiring.

 

Anyone care to give me a history lesson? I don't have a clue who this guy is.

 

Brett Farve is one of the best quarterbacks to ever played the sport of football in the National Football League. He retired after many years, then a few months later, returned, but Green Bay would have none of it, and he is now a New York Jet.

Chad Pennington is gone from the Jets because of this, and Farve is now going to be starting this Saturday's pre-season game.

....I hate you Brett Farve...

Go Browns.
