Im questioning your belief he could walk into 2009 and throw for 6000 yards.

Why shouldn't he be able to? The line Miami has now is very nearly as good as what he had in 84 and the receivers probably represent a greater threat to opposing defenses (Marino would absolutely love Davone Bess). All he has to do is take a shotgun snap all season and throw it to whoever's open, which is basically what he did in 84.

I'm also challenging your beliefs about Favre and Marino pertaining to their character.

Favre's a merc. I really despise mercs, especially when they're quarterbacks. You may think it's okay, but I don't and you won't convince me.

You're right, nobody would've blamed Marino for going to Minnesota, but Jimmy Johnson owes his life to Marino because he didn't.

Just yanking your chain back Dolfan. I'm just not at all self conscious about either of their accomplishments, or place in NFL history. They were among the best ever....................period!

Sorry DD, I really value your opinions and admire your loyalty, but after his achilles tendon basically fell out of the back of his ankle, Marino wasn't elite anymore. Even you can admit that, I'm sure.
I love the cat. He's a western PA guy, and I sold him live bait once while he was in my hometown on a fishing trip. Extremely grounded and personable.
The only thing I found more unbelievable than your statement about the 6,000 yards was your assessment of Miami's current WR corps. Davone Bess? Really?

Think about all the receivers Marino threw to and favored. The Marks Brothers, OJ McDuffie, Orande Gadsden. All of those guys were go anywhere, catch anything receivers who put up good numbers but weren't really spectacular. Bess is exactly that.

Can't and won't. The beginning of the end, sure, but if Yatil Green hadn't blown out his knee I guarantee you Marino would've eclipsed his own single season record.

OK. This is getting a little out of control.

Let me put this to bed for everyone.

Favre is an amazing competitor and hall of fame QB. One of the greatest to ever play the game.

He is also an egotistical prick with a history of treating people like shit.

You can love him or hate him, makes me no difference.

Now as far as Marino stepping in and throwing for 6000 yards...that's just retarded.

Marino couldn't step into Tom Brady's situation with Moss and Welker and throw for 3500, let alone 6000. That is such a ridiculous number.

Even more ridiculous is the claim that he could do it with that God awful WR corps in Miami. They are one of the worst groups of WRs in the NFL.

Sorry Dearborn. I'm totally your brother on the hating Favre stuff, but you've gone too far.

On the borderline of fanatical insanity. He is 47 years old, and if he couldnt handle a much slower game when he retired, he darn sure a'int handling it now. This is the age of the spread, and if you think defenses of 2009 wouldn't eat him alive your insane.

You tell me how he is a mercenary. Id love to/look forward to your stance on this.

You're right, nobody would've blamed Marino for going to Minnesota, but Jimmy Johnson owes his life to Marino because he didn't.

It's not funny. Whatever else Marino says, Johnson basically forced him out and every Dolfan knows it. Had Marino gone to Minnesota Johnson would've been crucified and burn at the 50 yard line of the Orange Bowl.

I again draw your attention to exhibit A:

That is a good question. Boy, I really struggled with this. This has been the toughest month of my life as far as dealing with playing football or retiring. After the season, I pretty much thought that I was not going to play anymore and I felt that way for a while and I think it was because of the physical aspects of the game. It kept coming back to how my legs felt during last season, going through the neck injury; not knowing whether I was going to be able to throw the football, and family reasons also, but Claire and the kids, they were great. They wanted me to play, be honest with you. Really, it was my decision, a family decision and a health decision.

Favre is starting to sounds like 'The Bride' from Kill Bill. Except it's 'Kill Ted', and Brett's got unfinished buisness with Mr. Thompson.

I won't deny he does have business left to do. I just think trying to run down perhaps the greatest QB in history is silly.

-- Favre Hires Personal Trainer --
Fri May 1, 2009 --from FFMastermind.com​
The Pioneer Press reports new free-agent QB Brett Favre, 39, who could end up with the Minnesota Vikings, has hired a personal trainer at home in Mississippi. Favre's sudden arrival on the market makes you wonder if that's the reason the Vikings haven't spent much on free agency this year. Maybe they knew something. The ESPN Monday night Vikings-Packers game Oct. 5 at the Metrodome, if Favre is the Vikings' quarterback, could set a viewership record.

-- Vikings Could Sign Brett Favre --
Fri May 1, 2009 --from FFMastermind.com​
The Pioneer Press reports there is little doubt that if the Vikings could sign QB Brett Favre, they would sell out their remaining season tickets within 48 hours. For that and other reasons, it will be surprising if Favre isn't with the Vikings in training camp. Back in February, Favre asked for his release from the New York Jets. The Jets said no. So Favre, now 39, said he would retire. End of issue. But after last weekend's NFL draft, after the Jets chose QB Mark Sanchez from Southern California, Favre asked again for his release. His request was granted. And that has become the juicy question. Why did Favre now want to get released from the Jets? There could be two motives: wanting to play for the Vikings, who have wanted him for a year, and a $20 million pot of gold. The $20 million isn't a new playing contract. The Vikings probably could sign Favre for about $7 million for the coming season, with about $3 million more available in performance bonuses, such as winning the Super Bowl. The $20 million, remember, is what the Packers, for whom Favre played 16 seasons, offered Favre nearly a year ago to retire from Green Bay. The 10-year marketing deal would have made Favre an ambassador for the franchise. Now that the future hall of famer has been released by the Jets, Favre could have new leverage: Give me the $20 million and I'll stay retired. If not, I'll sign with the Vikings and make life miserable for the Packers. Besides Minnesota, the only other possibility for Favre as a player this season, assuming his injured right arm is sound, would seem to be Washington. But his chances to win would seem better with the Vikings in that the Redskins are in a tougher division (NFC East) with the New York Giants, Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys. Washington, though, probably would pay more than Minnesota for him. Favre still has a stronger arm than new Vikings QB Sage Rosenfels, whose arm is fine at intermediate lengths. At this juncture, it appears there are only three ways for the Vikings to improve at quarterback: Favre, QB Michael Vick, or trying to trade with Cleveland for either QB Brady Quinn or QB Derek Anderson. Signing Vick, though, might turn the Vikings into a halfway house.

Nothing would make me happier than Favre getting picked up by Minnesota.

Then getting smashed by GB twice in his final season while watching his former team win the division.

I'd be all smiles.

If he does get picked up my Minny, then yes "getting smashed by GB twice in his final season while watching his former team win the division" would make me all smiles, too.
