favre to werder: "return is highly unlikely"

[hoopster42]

i love watching this guy play but man is he stupid or something?

he is saying again that he is unlikely to come back. this guy needs some lessons on how to handle the press. the appropriate answer is: "ed, i just lost in the nfc championship gm and i feel like crap. i have no idea right now what i'm gona do. let's talk again in 2 months about this".

instead, he says a return is "highly unlikely" which sets him up again to be chastised if he DOES in fact return.

as i said, i love watching favre play, but i'm starting to believe he is simply a dumb guy.

Why is it so bad if he gets chastised?

popularity of likable manning = more $$$ in jersey sales and endorsements

polarization of favre = less $$$ overall

get it?

Liar, liar, pants on fire !

Better get your pants on the ground, Farve, you be looking like a fool with your pants on fire....

[jjgold]

He is coming back, he is a ego maniac and has nothing without football, he is too dumb to be an analyst or in studio as he has zero verbal skills.

[whatsgood5]

He'll be back, this means nothing

[SamsNCharge99]

Brett Favre is a bigger attention whore than ME

[odusmykal]

He'll be back.. He can't accept leaving.. Doesn't know what to do without football.. He already tried building birdhouses to occupy his time.. One more year and then he'll be begging for a contract extention.. We'' see the guy next season..

First off, Favre gets very little of his jersey sales money, if anything. I can't find the exact revenue breakdown but I've found enough to know that very little goes to the player, and when the marginal income is practically irrelevant.

Second, let's presume he does get an amount that is significant to him from jersey sales... there's no way to measure whether his waffling is actually affecting sales or not. His Vikings jersey sold at record breaking pace.

This is true, he's a big time drama queen.

Enough is enough...At least retire with dignity

He will always be known as a loser because of his bad plays in critical situations. He is just a drunk that is dumber than a fukkin door nob.

He has his Superbowl... one is enough for some people to consider him a winner. Plus, he has enough clutch play over the years.

the fans are completely torn about him and he cares about that way more than you think he does

montana, elway, brady, manning, not to mention unitas and otto graham, are in a completely different class of quarterback than this guy, and most people who understand football and the history of it are aware of it

[hoopster42]

trent dilfer and brad johnson have super bowls too, winning 1 SB is sometimes the product of being on the right team
the packers were very talented the 2 yrs he played in the SB. favre is a very good qb, a tier 2 qb going to the HOF

but he's no montana, elway, brady or manning. he's just not

Glad to know you know how Favre thinks.

Thanks f*ckface.

As it was last year it is probably a ploy for more money and to get out of training camp. He will be signed by Minnesota the last week of training camp

he signed a 2-yr contract w/the vikings from what i understand so no need to go through the drama of last offseason

[dwaechte]

I highly doubt you can educate me on many things, but I'll do my best to keep an open mind. I'm done trying to get you to open yours.

[Mr. Peepers]

Hoopster wtf are you talking about with this popularity of likable manning = more $$$ in jersey sales and endorsements

polarization of favre = less $$$ overall bullshit???? Favre doesn't care about the money he says that, he has more than I think he knows what to do with...Favre doesn't care if he is "liked"and has proved that...Farve has had the number 1 jersey sales in the entire NFL the past two seasons both with the jets and the vikes...Get your facts right

[hanco21]

I heard that song before

[philswin]

Just because he signed a 2 year contact does not mean he will continue to waffle about retirement. He has already started. A very low chance he wil be in training camp. But a couple million more dollar and some more headlines and maybe he will un-retire and show up the last week of camp.
