Brett Favre Retirement Watch - Day 2

This is worse then the marketing deal TT tried to hook Favre up with for $20 Million!

so you know that extra few million simply isn’t coming off.

Think guys like Adrian Peterson, who also want to get paid, are paying close attention to all this?

You sound a little worried…a little angst from you is what I feel reading your comment – and this is verified by your referral to the Vikings as Viqueens. Surely the name fudge packers (although fitting) is also a bit much (I have not seen this term used for your team on the DN site – maybe because we have class) and should be avoided in a public forum?

I came here direct from Yahoo (another site where comments make little sense often), am a member of DN and the first thing I see is what I consider to be a incendiary comment,,,,Makes me realize why I have not been over here on this site much! Waste of time – I now leave again, but just had to come back to you on your offensive and baseless statement – upon further review it was all reporter hype (as often is the case with Favre)…go figure…

Get a life…and be afraid….VERY afraid….one thing is true here in all this hullaballoo……Farve and the Vikes are likely going to hand the Packers yet again two more times their figurative heads on a platter in 2010, and the Vikes will likely again and for third year in a row be the NFC North Champs…how is that for egomaniac lol….

Really though no swollen ego here on my part, just stating the facts,,,and spoken in straight in your face english to you…See you soon…at the game(s) or at least (hopefully) in a bar closeby…just one of the many great things about the NFL (sharing a great rivalry over a beer (or two, or three,,,,)

Have a great day!

…but the DN’s got a point. I thought this yesterday when ESPN’s only attribution was rumors that some teammates had gotten some text messages. And I noticed that they never actually even showed the interview of the guy who actually supposedly got this text. It was all second-hand “I know a guy who knows a guy who’s dating this girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night.”

You know, where’s their reporting? They get none of the blame in this? I feel like, every time I read a story on ESPN I should say “Thank you Simone.”

(If you missed the reference, watch about the first 20 seconds of this)

For us, Favre was a franchise legend and the face of the Packers’ modern era. For them, he’s a hired gun who had already retired and unretired twice before they even signed him. I guess it’d be kind of like the difference between a Jeter and A-Rod retirement drama: One player means everything to your team, the other is a douche who happens to play a game well.

or do you, like most people, need to respect the person looking back at them in the mirror?

hope he stays out of politics. Haha.

is what we call ’em.

By replying to this comment and typing this one sentence, I have hereby used up the portion of my life that I am willing to spend thinking about anything that deadspin “reports.”

Thank you, that is all.

I don’t think any of us truly believe it until we don’t see him on the field in Week1.

A lot harder road to the SB? No harder than any other year. Favre makes the Vikings better, no doubt. He isn’t really a player than can carry a team on his back though, despite fan and media perception that he does. It has been over 14 years since he won his SB. That was a very, very talented team he was on that year. Favre needs a boatload of talented players around him to be successful, and despite his saying this is the best team he has ever been on, I don’t see it happening for the Vikes this year. Not now, not ever…
