Oh man, I forgot Unitas, Namath, and Montana became embarrassments.  As much as everyone complains about his 'drama.'  It's amazing the tears that comes with the former lovers saying he's ruined his career.

Paalease.  He may have a bad season, but 5 years later his 'legacy' isn't going to be ruined.  I have some ESPN specials and super bowl stuff on my computer.  I also frequent nfl.com/videos and watch highlights.  Just because he went to another team and the media followed Favre around like a sad puppy dog and report every poop he made, doesn't do anything to his legacy and memories. 

Are you sure you were a Brett Favre fan?  Think about it.

You know, I agree somewhat with Dea. He was supposed to be retired, and everyone thought that would be his last season. Then he said he's in talks with the Packs, and still has his locker at the stadium. Then he said he is going to training camp with the Packs. Then he does these random Jeans commercials. Now he may be traded? WTF?

I agree with his screwing up, perhaps not his legacy, but his image as a Packers icon. Those people have gotta be pissed if it goes down.

I was pissed when Clemens went to NY after all those years with the Astros, he was going to retire in Houston. I was pissed when Montana left the 49ers, as well as Jerry...


But the for the most part this thing is all about what?  = MONEY?

Farve, has plenty of money.  He's doing it because alot of athletes such as him have a difficult time stepping away from the limelight, the competition, the comraderie, and in some cases, the connections to drugs that the NFL provides them.

The Packers screwed up with trying to wait him out into retirement and then trying to buy him out.  It's not money, he wants to play.  I hope he has another great year, but if he doesn't i'm not worried about it.  He's earned the right to keep playing if he wants to.

I recall reading a SI article back in April that he did(filmed) those commercials back in April.

The thing is about playing football.  What makes you think it was about money?  The 20-25 million the Packers offered him to stay retired was a slap in the face.

As for the Jets, your team has more problems than just a QB  :P

It was stated as a question, I didn't mean that it's all about the money. Wondered what others thought.

The Jets offensive line is not the Packers offensive line. He'll be lucky to last the season.

Just because the Jet's O-line gave up almost 3 times as many sacks as the GB O-line doesn't mean Bret can't just run out of the pocket for a TD!  :rofl

Pennington has not been that bad. He's often been top 5 in passer rating and completion percentage (#1 in 2002). Last year his completion percentage was no. 2 to Brady.

His problem is he gets pounded on a routine basis because the Jets can't pass block. It will be interesting to see how long Farve lasts with that O line.
