Favre retires...Again.

I hope he stays gone this time. I'm tired of all the anti-climactic off-season Favre drama.
 
He's done. If the Jets would have made the playoffs this past season I could have seen him sticking around. But with a new coach and a new system there isn't a place in the organization for Favre.
 
I want to thank that jack-off personally for ruining our season. Go back to Green Bay and destroy their team you pinhead.

Note: This was a public service announcement from the Jets fans.
 
I don't blame him for wanting to comeback this season because I imagine that it is difficult to spend the majority of your life in a routine playing organized sports and then to have to walk away from it. I do hope that he stays retired though because it is going to start to become a joke. The last time Favre retired there was all this fanfare and it was very drawn out. The fact that this was just a quite announcement to the Jets through his agent makes me think that this is final. Last time he retired after losing in the NFC title game in OT off an interception in the snow. I think there was a part of him that said that he had just finished one of his best seasons of his career and he could still play and he wrestled with that thought for 3 months. This time he is coming off a year where his body broke down on him at the end of the season. This just seems like it was a difference scene and I doubt he will comeback.

Think it will stick?

Personal prediction- He signs with the Vikings over the summer. We are witnessing the second-coming of George Blanda.

Report: Retired Favre to meet with Vikings later this week

Minneapolis, MN (Sports Network) - The never-ending saga of Brett Favre's retirement appears to be rearing its ugly head again, as a report on Tuesday indicated the future Hall-of-Fame quarterback has a meeting scheduled with Minnesota Vikings head coach Brad Childress later this week.

The report, coming from ESPN.com, cites "a source with direct knowledge of discussions between the two parties" that says the meeting is to discuss the possibility of Favre coming out of retirement for the second straight offseason in order to play for Minnesota.

Favre suffered from a torn biceps tendon late last season with the New York Jets and did not have surgery to repair the damage.

"It all comes down to physically how I feel, and that could change based on arthroscopic surgery, but I'm not willing to do that or take that chance, and that's why I'm retiring," Favre had said after retiring for a second time.

But this was before the Jets selected USC quarterback Mark Sanchez with the fifth overall selection in the NFL Draft and subsequently released the veteran signal-caller, who reportedly wanted to become a Viking before the Packers traded him to the Jets last offseason.

Favre spent 18 seasons in the NFL and starred for 16 years with the Packers, who acquired him from Atlanta before the 1992 season. He threw four passes in two games with the Falcons, who had selected the Southern Mississippi product in the second round of the 1991 NFL Draft.

The ultimate gunslinger, Favre was a seven-time All-Pro and was selected to 10 Pro Bowls, including this past season with New York. He left the game as the NFL's all-time record holder in several categories, including wins by a starting quarterback, passing yards, touchdowns, interceptions and consecutive games started.

Favre completed 61.6 percent of his passes for 65,127 yards with 464 touchdowns and 310 interceptions. He led the Packers to a pair of Super Bowls, winning his lone title after the 1996 season in a 35-21 victory over New England. The Packers lost to Denver in the Super Bowl the following season.

The three-time MVP helped the Jets to an 8-3 start in 2008, but Favre and the team stumbled over the final five games. The Jets finished the campaign with just one win to conclude the season at 9-7, missing the playoffs.
 
Well, I hope he's gonna be retired for good this time. His drama last year messed with the Pack too much. I think they're over his stigma though, and should have a good year this year. I was impressed with Rogers myself, being his first starting QB in the NFL. Farve was a great QB, but like all good things, it comes to an end eventually. Quit at the top of your game, and your good. Burn out, and the memories won't be that great.

And I thought you knew football

It wasn't only Favre that ruined your season...have your defense look itself in the mirror and ask if they supply some of the blame....

wasn't like the Jets was going to the Super Bowl anyway..sheesh
 
I don't think he was on the same page with his receivers all the time, and he made some BAAAAAAD decisions. Another thing was that he turned color blind. He couldn't tell green from other colors and was WRONG most of the time.

Now he is possibily Minnesota's problem.
 
it's scary...he might end up a viking...for all the wrong reasons. i'm a miami fan but its jsut ridiculous. Favre just wants to stick it to GB IMHO. if Favre can elevate the vikings to more than the first round, so be it. Hell he can hand off to peterson. but it's like the experts are saying. if he's just there to make a little more fame and be a pain in the ass...fuck him. jackson is eh, but roselfelts could be deadly. i hope he stays retired, the season with the jets is damn embarassing.
 
I usually come down on the other side of these retirement issues in sports. I usually sympathize with athletes because they have been training for and playing sports the majority of their life. To give up that part of your life has to be difficult. You have defined yourself by a last name and a number for decades and now you have to move to another part of your life. I tend to empathize with guys who have to deal with that. I don't care if a guy's skills have lost a step or two. As long as an athlete can play the game I think he should be allowed to stay out on the field.

This time it is different. The "Brett Favre Retirement World Tour" is getting old. You can only consider retiring, cry, retire and then unretire so many times before it gets old. If he wants to play then play but quit this postulating. Brett Favre is quickly becoming the Sugar Rey Leonard of the NFL. He needs to just move on and let go of this feud with the Packers. The motivation of "sticking it to the Packers" just makes him come across as bitter. I doubt the front office in Green Bay lays awake at night laughing about how they ran away one of the best QBs in the history of their franchise. I think they probably felt just as bad as Favre did when he retired, but when he wanted to comeback they had already made a commitment to Rodgers. It is ok to piss off the 38 y/o QB but you don't want to piss off the 25 y/o who was really good last year for a first year starter.

I just think this has all become a joke and Favre is starting to become that bitter old man who writes letters to the editor that no one reads. He needs to just retire and move on.
