Good Bye Brett Farve

[Pistons < Spurs]

Reports: Brett Favre plans to retire


Brett Favre has informed the Vikings that he will not return for another season in Minnesota, the Star-Tribune reported Tuesday.

Favre has sent text messages to teammates saying, "This is it," league sources told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

Neither Favre nor the Vikings have confirmed the news but a press release is expected Tuesday, the sources said.

The Associated Press also reported that Favre is saying that he's not returning this season.

The Vikings' ownership is holding its annual meeting at training camp Tuesday morning.

This would be the third retirement for Favre, who also retired after 16 seasons with the Green Bay Packers after the 2007 season and one season with the New York Jets after the 2008 season.

The 40-year-old Favre has been working out at his home in Hattiesburg, Miss., still rehabbing a surgically repaired ankle that was injured in Minnesota's overtime loss to the New Orleans Saints in the NFC title game. He has yet to inform the team if he will honor the second year of his contract and come back for another run at the Super Bowl.

Last year Favre told the Vikings he was not going to play shortly before camp opened. But he changed his mind a few weeks later, and went on to record one of the best seasons of his career despite having less than three weeks to prepare.

If Favre doesn't return, the Vikings' starting quarterback job likely will be decided in a training camp battle between Sage Rosenfels and Tarvaris Jackson.

The 32-year-old Rosenfels, acquired by the Vikings last year in a trade with the Houston Texans, has a career quarterback rating of 81.2. In 32 games, he has 30 touchdowns and 29 interceptions and has passed for 4,156 yards.

The 27-year-old Jackson, drafted in the second round of the 2006 draft, has a 77.9 rating and has 21 touchdowns and 18 interceptions, passing for 3,643 yards in 33 career games.

Favre threw for over 4,200 yards with 33 touchdowns and just seven interceptions to lead the Vikings (12-4) to the NFC North title and their first NFC title game since 2001.

[DoKdynasty]

Holy fuck this is unexpected

[JMarkJohns]

^ Yeah it was.

[misterx91578]

we heard this shit before

[Dr. Gonzo]

It's Rosencopter time!!!

[lefty]

NOT SO FAST !!!!!!










It's Favre




He may come out of retirement 2 weeks before the NFL season starts and might join any team at any time

[JMarkJohns]

Cardinals should get on it! They are a QB from NFC contention again.

[8FOR!3]

Ohh, cool. Nah nah nah nahhh

[Drachen]

Good bye Brett Farve, thanks for all of the annoying memories, maybe you could go join the cast of Jersey Shore it could be Snooki, the situation, the waffler . . .That way you could continue to be narcissistic and annoying. Anyway, Good Bye . . .


See you in 3 weeks.

[BUMP]

:wow

Holy shit! As a Cowboy fan, Great news if this is true.

[EricB]

Chilli gonna go down there in a couple weeks and change his mind.

err his daughter. Err the fans.


Whatever...

[DoKdynasty]

It's not extremely shocking I guess, just unexpected. He probably remembers that NFC championship game and how he doesn't feel like putting his body through that anymore.

[BruceBowenFan]

About damn time, I am so sick of farve at this point. I still find it messed up that adrian peterson couldnt even attend without coach bradchildress getting mad at him, but farve got a free pass to show up anytime he wanted. Fuck farve.

[Dave Mustaine]

Manning finally starts the assault on his records, tbh.

[Blake]

Childress says he hasn't heard anything from Favre yet.

I say it's 50-50 Favre plays this year.

[badfish22]

Ill believe it when I see Jackson out there starting game one. And even then ill be skeptical that Favre wont take his place at half time.

[IronMexican]

Come back, brah.

[JudynTX]

He will be unretired next month. :tu

[symple19]

as soon as training camp ends, Brett will decide he wants to play

[DoKdynasty]

He will be unretired next month. :tu



Way to be the 10th person to make the joke you bandwagoning whore.

[BUMP]

HaHaaHaHaHA as soon as training camp ends Favre will magically "unretire" HaaHaaaHaaa :lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lol:lol:lol:lol

Get it guys????

:lol:lol:rollin:lmao

[DoKdynasty]

:lol:lol:rollin:lmao

:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao it's funny because he's unretired so many times :lmao:lmao:lmao:rollin:rollin:rollin

[JamStone]

Like my 4 year old nephew says, "it's opposite day!"

If it were 2 years ago, I'd be more appreciative of him and his career. At this point, it's about fucking time. Shoo, get gone already...

[Dave Mustaine]

well ESPN is a pile of shit today.








as it that's any different than what it usually is.

[lebomb]

Basically he is saying "there is a chance"!!!!!!! :p:

[DoKdynasty]

lol utsa

[J.T.]

Manning finally starts the assault on his records, tbh.

Manning needs 55 TDs to pass Marino for 2nd place and 34 TDs to hit 400. As loaded as they are at WR + Dallas Clark he should try for the 55 this season.

[badfish22]

lol colt homers

[DoKdynasty]

lol 55 TDs

[DoKdynasty]

Anthony Gonzalez is the best 5th receiving option in NFL history, with him back 55 touchdowns is a real possibility!

[Dave Mustaine]

stop being so serious JT :cry

[J.T.]

It's up to Manning at this point. Everyone knows he's the coach of the Colts. If he wants 55 TDs, no one can stop him.

[Dave Mustaine]

please stop it :cry

[DoKdynasty]

So if he gets 55 TDs will we still see breakout years from Addai and Brown :lol

[Dave Mustaine]

tbh, a breakout year from Brown is happening either way, imho.

[bostonguy]

Well this pretty much leaves the NFC wide open. Saints will suffer the madden curse so they are out. Vikes are screwed with no QB now. Cowboys could be the top dog. They have the talent to do so, but I have to see it.


As for the Colts, they will be punished for losing the superbowl. Manning may have another great year, but the Colts won't be going anywhere other than division champs and out in the divisional game. That superbowl losers curse will get them.

[DoKdynasty]

O yeah I forgot they got 2 swole ass backup offensive linemen

[Dave Mustaine]

The Packers are coming out of the NFC.

[Dave Mustaine]

O yeah I forgot they got 2 swole ass backup offensive linemen

no it's just that he's a swole player himself. I don't know why JT's comments about offensive linemen offended you so much.

[DoKdynasty]

Didn't offend me tbh, I'm scoffing them because I find it funny that you two think improving the 2nd string O-line will make such a huge difference. O and I agree about the Packers tbh.

[J.T.]

tbh they are gonna try plugging in tony ugoh at left guard too since his fat dumb ass cant seem to play tackle. imo the colts will be a much better team in 2010 than they were last year. nowhere to go but up.

[Dave Mustaine]

lol getting shit on by david tyree

great fuckin last catch of career :cry

[samikeyp]

Rosencopter, I saiiiiiiddd!

[Dr. Gonzo]

the Colts won't be going anywhere other than division champs

There are 52 players in Houston that will prove otherwise.

:lmao

I'm not good at homerism.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

This won't be the last we hear from that motherfucker this year.

I'm guessing he might miss a game or two but that cunt will be back.

[ducks]

chargers will stop him
chargers own his sorry ass

the octupus has spoken! Favre will Retire...

[JamStone]

If he's coming back, he's not missing a game

He's going to keep milking and extending that consecutive starts thing until it's like 5,000 consecutive starts.

[BruceBowenFan]

http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/Octopus-in-Minnesota-offers-prediction-on-Brett-Favre-retirement-080610

if the octupus is right about this one, anything choice he picks im betting on from here on out.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

I'd imagine if he isn't on an NFL roster, then when he came back the streak would continue.

Either that or the NFL FO would scrape their knees to make it that way.

Fuck him, though, the story of him sending celly cock shot pics, while stroking it in nothing but crocs, to Jenn Sterner is rather amusing.

[G-Dawgg]

Too bad..retiring with his hat turned sideways and his pants on the ground.....
