Major Mud Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 Per SI.com * 08:07 AM ET 05.03 One NFL source insists Brett Favre can't peacefully retire until he finds a way to get revenge on the Packers. He wants back into the NFC North so he can face the Packers twice. The Bears traded for Jay Cutler and the Lions drafted Matthew Stafford. Hello, Minnesota. "Favre can't stand Green Bay," the source said. "He wants to play Green Bay and say, 'I told you so.' His bitterness is creating this. I think he's calling Minnesota. I think Minnesota is talking about this as we speak. You haven't heard the end of Favre. No way. He is bionic. As long as somebody will let him in, he will play." New York Daily News Who wants to bet he ends up in Minnesota, within the month?....
H2o Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 I wouldn't doubt it. The thing is, the way irony works, he would probably end up getting a career ending injury against his old team. Can you imagine Kampman ending his career with a "Brady-esque" knee shot?

The Jets must have assurances that he is done or they would not have cut him.
SKOOBY Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 Don't the Jets have to give up a bunch more draft picks if he goes to an NFC North team? The Jets must have assurances that he is done or they would not have cut him. They cut bait, he's free to do what he wants.
26CornerBlitz Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 I wish Brett would do everybody a Favre and retire for good. Enough already!!
IHFO Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 #1) Idk why this stuff gets posted on here because who cares 2) IMO he's the best QB ever so i don't get the hate unless everyone is jelious that he did something the almighty kelly could not..win a SB Can't wait to see the replies
KD in CA Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 Didn't this asshat embarrass himself enough last season by murdering the Jets playoff chances and their coach's job? I hope signs with the Vikes and get beat 47-0 in Lambeau while throwing 6 picks.

KD in CA Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 If there is any truth to this it is just sad. Don't the Jets retain his rights? He was officially released last week. IMO he's the best QB ever Let me guess, "ever" goes back to 1990 in your world.
26CornerBlitz Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 If there is any truth to this it is just sad. Don't the Jets retain his rights? Nope they waived his rights after the draft....Sanchez is their new savior.
RayFinkle Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 Playing half his games in a dome in the NFC North with an incredible run game and an offense he is familiar with. It is a perfect fit for him...plus it is where he wanted to go last year anyway. He still has enough in the tank for a couple more years under those conditions. If he still wants to play, then by all means play.

What a POS. 1) Go out with some dignity like Kelly did. 2) I still think you're lame for giving Strahan that fake sack for the record.

If he still wants to play, then by all means play. Yes he should still play. I don't have a problem with it. I'd take him in Denver. But I think people are tired of him. He shouldn't retire if he still wants to play. He should make it be known that he wants to play regards of what anyone thinks. The media and the league have been pushing him to retire. My thing is . . . he never said he wanted to quit. The media just hounded him until he retired. He should have said I'm not retiring . . . get over it.
VOR Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 I'd love to see Favre come back, play for the Vikes, and get revenge on GB. It would make the 2009 season incredibly interesting.
Major Mud Posted May 4, 2009 Author Posted May 4, 2009 Best QB ever???? That is ridiculous!! Statistically yes he is. I dont think i can remember a guy that played the game with the love and enthusiasm that Brett did, but sometimes you have to know when to quit to preserve your legacy. Think of Emmitt in a Cards uniform, or Johnny Unitas as a washed up Charger. Walk away with grace and dignity.
SKOOBY Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 We can revenge last season jets debacle against him in the SB.
2020 Our Year For Sure Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 I hope he comes back. Watching Brett Favre play this game has always been a pleasure...nothings changed.
billsfan89 Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 You know the vikings qb situation is bad when a 40 year old washed up bret farve who is coming off of surgery is by far a better option than all of the qb's on their roster. If i were a vikes fan i would want bret but as a game manager much like he was in his last year at green bay when they were one game away from the super bowl
