    Re: Breaking News... FAVRE ASKS FOR RELEASE!

    SCREW FAVRE!!!!!!!!!!!! i wouldn't give it to him. he has 3 years left on his current contract that HE has failed to fulfill. he has strung the Packers organization along with his BS for the last couple of years. now he wants to play elsewhere??? that's a slap in the face to the Packer diehards who have supported him throughout his career. what a jerkoff.

    I understand what you're saying, and I agree that it gets old. The Packers were always my favorite team when I was little and before I moved to Buffalo, so I have a huge soft spot for the guy. I was so disappointed when he decided he wanted to play again next year, and couldnt believe when I heard the news that he asked the Packers to release him.

    However, to say it's equivalent to a britney mishap is a hyperbole at best. Say what you will about Favre, but he's always been passionate and sincere. His only crime here was jumping the gun and committing to retirement before truly thinking it over. He obviously changed his mind and I'm sure he regrets "retiring" more than anyone else involved in the situation. For the life of me though, I just can't understand why he'd be OK with suiting up in a Vikings or Bears uniform, it's mind boggling.

    He should hire a director for his next meaningless retirement ceremony. He can have an opera tenor next to him with lots of crying and big stage props. " WILL YOU STILL LOVE ME ! BOOHOOHOO ! "

    I don't dislike the guy but like Freeman said, the press is beating this to death, much like his retirement during the winter. Favre loves this and it feeds his now obvious narcissism.

    He should get one of those Popes chimneys and release white smoke for yes and black smoke for no after each season ends. ESPN would run a picture of the chimney 24/7 until he let us know his decision.

    He took GB to the playoffs last year. They didn't loose because of him. They'd be nuts to let him play somewhere else.

    It seems that Brett Favre isn't getting his way in Green Bay anymore.

    The Packers legend asked the team for his unconditional release on Friday, but the organization has no intention of granting that request, FOXSports.com has learned. If anything, sources say, the team is prepared to welcome Favre back as a backup to Aaron Rodgers.

    Re: Breaking News... FAVRE ASKS FOR RELEASE!

    100% absolutely bring him to Buffalo. I'd give next years #1 and Trent in order to assume his remaining 3 year contract from GB. THE BILLS ARE AN INSTANT SB CONTENDER WITH FAVRE!!

    Can you imagine the year Evans would have... Not to mention Hardy, Reed, and Parrish. I bet Lynch would gain 1800 yards just because Favre's in the backfield.

    A backup to Rodgers?

    That would last about two series.

    Re: Breaking News... FAVRE ASKS FOR RELEASE!

    Can't really blame the guy. At the time he probably felt like it was a good time to retire but he later realized that this wasn't in fact the right time for him. He came off a good year, the team performed well, he probably thought lets go out on a positive note but then realized how much he loves the game, that he can still play and that's really it.

    I don't think he's doing this for any sort of attention or anything. I just think he still really wants to play and that's it.

    thank God that you're not running the Bills. you'd do your best Donna Ho impression and run this team in the ground. the guy has 3 years and $39 million left in his contract and he's not a for sure thing to fulfill the entire contract. meanwhile, we'd be out of a 1st Rounder and a QB who has a future in front of him and TWO QB's who'd be out the door by next year. i seriously doubt that the Bills would get to the Super Bowl with Favre, so why piss away the future?

    i just don't understand your logic with your previous statement. if we were to lose 3 QB's in one season, i feel that it would set back the team in the future. i'm sorry that you're butt hurt by my comment.
