And telling the Packer fans to go to hell.

Now, I see him as just a miserable old man.

Poor Brett is at it agan Glad to hear hes going to play but not with the Vikings what happen to all his loyalty to the Jets bet if he was still going to play with them he would have to take apay cut as if he does go to the vikings they should make him take a pay cut for every interception he has and he will because hes just Brett Good luck Vikes after Bretts done your either going to win a superbowl or loose a good coach just like the Jets did

 he probley has to go to the championship game or has to have controll of the team hard thing to do with Bett at controll

(Madden quote as subject).

Favre dislikes having surgery, probably because he had a convulsion on the table, back when he was abusing perc. This isn’t the first surgery he waffled over since.

Waffling. Yeah, on the surface, it would seem like indecision.

Have you ever held a job you detested? You talk to yourself, keep on keeping on, because of the bills / kids / security. I’m in the midst of one right now, which I stay with because the economy is such a cesspool. And have been in other similar situations over the years — trying to buy a home? Gotta hang onto the job. Spouse laid off? Gotta keep the health coverage.

Just because Favre had all the money he’d ever need doesn’t mean the feelings weren’t similar. I love what I do, but not who I’ve done it for. One job, the morning alarm was cause to pull the covers up over my head and beg for it to be a dream.

Favre has waffled myriad times because he’s human, and wanted to enjoy the whole experience, not just the part on the field. He lived to play, impossible to deny, but after some time under a new management’s thumb in GB, who wouldn’t find themselves second guessing a desire to leave? And waffle?

I said for years that they wouldn’t give him anyone to play with. The O line would collapse, and Favre would clean the turf with his uniform. Don Driver was his only go-to guy, which made Driver a target. Ahmad was known for the dropsies, and the fella from Africa was a true gentleman, but lacked the depth once HE became a target.

I’ve heard Favre referred to as a diva because he got upset when the new mgt lied to him (Randy Moss and Mooch, at least). Heck, wouldn’t you get upset if an important someone lied to you? Especially when previous important someones were up front about things? Diva to hell, it’s about mutual respect, which some higher-ups in GB mgt didn’t have with Favre. Who would dispute Favre’s perceived right to be respected? Don’t have to tell me the truth, but don’t lie to my face.

I recall Favre’s last contract with GB essentially guaranteeing he would retire from GB. What he had to do to get out of a contract that allowed people to lie to his face … couldn’t have been easy to do, to wrap one’s head around. Couldn’t be quick to execute, once decided upon.

My opinion, FWIW, is that Mgt took the stance that Favre was enough of a draw for good enough revenue, and they ignored team-building. Less $$ paid in salaries was more $$ for whomever.

As I said before, they didn’t give him anybody to play with.

I honestly and truly hope that the Vikes (whom, as a team, I have detested for decades) give Favre a worthy season.

…Got DTV years back, because “it might be favre’s last season” and I wanted to see every game, not just when GB was playing local teams.

You can bet I’ll be recording Vikings games this fall if Favre is playing.

Which I fully expect. He wouldn’t have been so candid with Joe Buck if he didn’t feel close to good enough to play.

Watching the available online blurbs, I noticed he had a foot on the coffee table, something I notice as a parent. Then I noticed his legs in motion, much like my significant other.

He’s the real deal, he is. His motivations may not be obvious to the general public, but I believe I comprehend.

More power to him. May he have a good season, should he follow through on yet another un-retirement.

It’s all about what’s on the field, after all.

Isn’t it?
