He's played what 17 seasons? dont you think thats more then enough? he's beaten i think all of Dan Marion's records. He's just to pig headed to see the the packers dont really want him. There #2 QB has been benched two seasons because of favre's crap.

Maybe it's not about the records.  And he knows the Packers don't want him, that's why he wants a trade.  He wants to play football, plain and simple.  He's known nothing but football his entire life, I don't blame him for wanting to squeak a few more years out of it.  As for tarnishing his legacy, who cares.  It's HIS legacy.  If his playing football for another year or two changes the way YOU look back at his career, no big deal.

I admire Brett.  Always have.  I used to have his rookie card when he was with Atlanta.

But this latest stunt is ridiculous.

If you saw him when they played at Chicago last year and when the Pack hosted the Giants in the NFC championship game, you could see in his face that he really didn't want to be there.  Uncomfortable would be not strong enough to describe how he looked, especially against the Giants.  Move on Brett, quite crying and retire in dignity...what little of it you have left.

i dont know i think he really wants to play, its called "for the love of the game"

also if i was the 2nd string QB i would be really happy!!!

WHY? do you know how much pressure Rogers has on him? the whole packers organization is riding on this guy. why not take brett back i mean at least he knows what hes doing. with Rogers he will make or brake it.

let him play hell if the packers dont want him he can come play for Atlanta!!!  :)

Ill say first I am getting really tired of seeing Brett Favre every time I turn on ESPN.  I just want to know if hes playing and where I could care less about the other details.  Thats my whine for this thread.....

If you have been playing football as long as Brett Favre, figure hes been playing for 25+ years including college, high school, and youth, its hard to walk away for anyone for any sport.  Look how hard it is for some of these baseball and basketball players to walk away after so many years of playing.  Hell look at how many times Michael Jordan retired, not like he needed the money with all the endorsements he had.

Michael Jordan was a special case but usually when you are done, you are done.  Its very hard to come back to a sport when you take more than a year off.

Just go to your local high school or college and talk to the seniors who may never play another game in their life of coordinated athletics.  They will be emotionally broken especially after their last game as a senior.

Its hard to walk away especially when you know you cant go back. 

I understand why Brett Favre wants to come back as he wants to continue playing as his career is not over and he still has the will to continue playing. 

I am just tired of the hype they have on ESPN.

Game Highlights: Brett Favre helped the Packers to score first as he connected on a 54 yard strike to Andre Rison on only their second scrimmage of the thirty-first Super Bowl game to give them a 7-0 lead. Two plays later they had an interception off of Drew Bledsoe which lead to a field goal and increased their lead to 10 with just over 6 minutes played in the first quarter.

The Patriots responded with 2 straight touchdowns on their next 2 possessions to give New England a 14-10 lead and setting a record for the most combined first quarter points in the championship game. 56 seconds into the 2nd quarter threw an 81 yard bomb to Antonio Freeman and Chris Jacke added 3 more points on a field goal for the Packers to take a 20-14 lead. Brett Favre then added a touchdown of his own, to extend the lead to 27-14 entering halftime.

Curtis Martin came back with a touchdown for NE in the second half, but Desmond Howard crushed any hope of a comeback with a 99 kick off return for a touchdown and ultimately a 35-21 Packers victory.

He could have retired at the top of his game with universal respect for the rest of his life. Now he will be remembered for this fiasco.

I agree.
I have been a Packer fan my entire life, and as sad as I was to see him do the retirement press conference, this somehow tarnishes it.  :(

He's become the Paris Hilton of the NFL.
