Favre will remain RETIRED

Report: Brett Favre tells Minnesota Vikings he'll remain retired - ESPN

Wow. Didn't think it would go down like this

 

[mudloggerone]

Me either but it was a wise decision. Maybe now the world of football can move on. Thanks Bret, you've thrown enough INTs to last a lifetime.

I thought he would be a Viking for sure. For a competitor like Favre, I can't believe he turned down the chance to stick it to the GB brass. Is the arm healed? Must not be. Will this resurface if the Vikes start out slowly and the QBs play poorly?

 

[Cerberus]

Best desicion he could make. I am very happy he decided to stay retired. Have a feeling now he will show up in the booth in the next year or two.

I really needed something to cheer me up after the Reggie Bush and Kim Kardashian breakup news. LOL

I think the Vikings have enough QBs on there roster to get them thru the season.

Please say it ain't so, but I'm afraid that it might well be true.

 

[Arctic Dawgs]

Wow, I'm suprised

 

[The Ram]

Now ESPN can let this story die. Glad he decided to stay retired.

 

[Runnik's Hambones]

LOL, I got in my car after the show and called Ryan cause the first thing I heard was that Favre wasn't playing this year. Crazy. Literally minutes after we signed off.

 

[Miller]

wow, shocked, thought for sure he was coming back.

 

[Remote Controller]

What scares me is I don't know if we can believe him. I hope this is finally final!

And thanks to you Favre for lighting up the end zone and making the NFL exciting to watch with your "Gunslinger" never say die attitude, and keeping the Green Bay Packers legendary as Lombardi did. :thrash:

 

[Birdman]

Thank goodness... I can't take any more Favre coverage. It's truly insane how this guy holds the NFL news cycle hostage every year.

 

[Sgt John]

I kinda figured this was going to happen when he didnt come out despite appearing healthy.

 

[Cooley Cadets]

Was the decision made because Mikey is now available for the Minny team to pursue for a few weeks?

 

[elrocko]

Eh . . . . This isn't over. He will make waves again once training camp is complete.

He will be healed and feeling good enough to kick-off the pre-season and lead Minnesota to a mediocre season.

Just go away Favre. You were great, I loved watching you during your prime, but now it is time to hang it up and let the new kids play . . .

Why do you suppose he is going to do that?

 

[eaglechick]

i hope this is true!!!

 

[Sgt John]

Nope.

I'm sick of hearing about Brett Favre. He's a great QB but he is ruining his image by doing this. He just needs to go retire in the Bayou and stay out of site. Him and John Madden can hang out and talk about how great he is all day. Him and John Madden eating some alliposirrel (the bayou's turducken - Alligator stuffed with a possum stuffed with a squirrel) playing Madden 09 with Favre on the cover.

Brought this back from the thread started in May. Brett will also be sporting his Wrangler jeans.
