All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
That's too bad. He would have made the Jets worse and worse as his skills eroded with increasing age.
Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?
Favre has become the old pop star who keeps talking about how his next album is going "to drop" and be "the best stuff he's ever worked on". And as the release date comes up, he pushes it back because of minor things, then publicity issues, then a drug addiction, the another album tweak. And when it finally comes out, its so derivative and annoying, you hate him more than when you saw all the pre-release drama.
Brett Favre, GO AWAY! For a guy who supposedly loves the game so much, love the game and leave it alone. This isn't a lot to ask for. I hope his retirement papers get intercepted.
Ever think that his love for the game is what conflicts him? He probably knows he should retire, but he loves it too much.
where is at financially and mentally, he should have spoken to all the greats who have preceded him. Everyone goes through this. Jim Kelly, Marino, etc, these guys complained of the same thing. But their love of the game kept them from making a mockery of their last 5 seasons. Kelly was courted briefly by the ravens.
And the Packers even gave him a payout to just stay away and he turned his back.
You can't confuse his arrogance with "love of the game". I was never a huge favre fan, but i never despised him until these stories kept popping up. It's clear to me that he is an ego maniac and enjoys being the center of attention, even if it has to be negative attention.
If he was a black player, people wouldn't have the patience for this game he plays. and that's an unfortunate double standard.

sorry but where did race ever come into this?? they did it with MJ like 4 times, so whats your point??
It also means that the trade compensation on Favre is complete. New York will surrender its third-round pick in April to Green Bay and the Packers will send the Jets their seventh-round pick in 2010.
The Jets may get relief from their 10 million+ over the cap but at least they lose a 3rd as well.
I heard he retired simply because the Jets denied his request to move his private office by the equipment room to a skybox.

i just mentioned it. I think a lot of people are fed up with Favre's wishywashyness on this, yet they grin and bear it. i don't think if a TO did this, he'd be treated the same. And TO is also a great receiver who just happens to be an ego maniac. They are one in the same. Yet TO is a distraction and a headache. lockerroom cancer
Favre is a guy who loves the game. Guys in the lockerroom are just excited to be around this guy even if he's talking retirement with 3 games to go and playoffs on the line.
