Thanks For The Memories Brett Favre
The yoyo Brett Favre and his re-re-return to football...AND one last shot at glory.

This item requires reviews with ratings.
This blog chronicles the ups and downs since his tearful departure from Green Bay in early 2007 to his brief flirtation with the Jets to another renaissance in the land of 10,000 lakes. Little did I know this rollercoaster ride would have this many ups, downs and turns.

Now we have the reports of a bounty on Favre in that NFC Championship game against the Saints. This blog is mostly an archive but recently updated. And while it appears there's no chance he'll come out of retirement, Favre is still the NFL's version of Elvis.



Now, on to my bloggin' until this thing is done.

  Last Day at Lambeau
  ID #750225 entered on 04-04-12 @ 4:13 pm EDT
Though his last day at Lambeau hasn't come (and time will tell for sure), this upcoming documentary intrigues me as to how the biographers will depict Brett Favre's final days in the NFL. Here is an early review of "Last Day at Lambeau... [More]

  It Won't Change Outcome of '09 NFC Conference Game
  ID #749370 entered on 03-23-12 @ 12:01 pm EDT
Bounty-gate Justice The New Orleans Saints and all connected with the 'bounty-gate' conspiracy were taken to the wood shed in the worst way by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. It won't change the outcome of the 2009 Conference Champio... [More]

  Divorce-gate
  ID #748589 entered on 03-09-12 @ 12:41 pm EST
Historical perspective is what I am getting with the 'divorce' of Peyton Manning from the Indianapolis Colts and how this equates and does not equate with the messy break up that was Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers. Let me start by s... [More]

  Bounty on Favre
  ID #748420 entered on 03-12-12 @ 10:24 pm EDT
Did the Saints cheat and should they be stripped of their Super Bowl title? Could the Green Bay Packers have fed the kitty to up the ante on their so-called 'traitor'? I have to take this blog out of retirement... A bounty?... [More]

  Peyton and Colts = Favre v Packers?
  ID #745794 entered on 03-12-12 @ 7:17 am EDT
Hopefully, Packer fans will get a little historical perspective in the coming months as Colts owner Jim Irsay moves his chess pieces into position in hopes of removing $28 million from his payroll enroute to a big draft day. Peyton Manning might... [More]

  Last entry
  ID #715907 entered on 01-19-11 @ 1:12 am EST
I finally grew tired of tracking his season, his career and will make this my last entry. There's no use trying to be an apologist or find ways to shine a light on his career. If he comes back somehow next year, I might see a reason to resurre... [More]

  Time To Call It A Career
  ID #711928 entered on 01-19-11 @ 1:13 am EST
He gave it his all and it hasn't been good enough of late. Brett Favre can step aside now knowing he's been bested by father time and not feel ashamed. Most people his age cannot say they've achieved as much. Ironic that it is the G... [More]

  What Now?
  ID #711506 entered on 11-16-10 @ 7:40 am EST
Where do you find the motivation to move on? It seems like the season is lost, three games back in the division. Brett Favre has a host of injuries and it seems like the Vikings had spent their last gasp on that comeback against the Arizona Cardin... [More]

  Favre Pressed For Reaction To Moss Dismissal
  ID #710229 entered on 11-04-10 @ 8:36 am EDT
Brett Favre knows what he had in Randy Moss, even if Brad Childress does not appreciate the ex-ex-Minnesota Viking receiver. Favre weighed in at his Wednesday presser... http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/11/03/surprised-by-decision-to-cut-... [More]

  Moss Already Out In Minnesota
  ID #710041 entered on 11-02-10 @ 10:09 am EDT
It wasn't the fantasy pairing many thought it would be and now it is apparently over. With a quick trigger, the Minnesota Vikings coach Brad Childress has apparently sent Randy Moss to some other team's showers. http://profootballtalk.nbc... [More]

  Favre Is A Game Time Decision
  ID #709767 entered on 10-30-10 @ 6:39 am EDT

  Childress May Bench Favre
  ID #709697 entered on 10-29-10 @ 3:36 pm EDT
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/10/29/report-childress-is-leaning-toward-tarvaris/ This would be a mistake and Childress is taking his job in his own hands if they don't get a win against the Patriots on Sunday. Most NFL analysts ... [More]

  What Is Favre's Crime?
  ID #709003 entered on 10-21-10 @ 8:06 pm EDT
I'm trying to figure out if the NFL is really serious about getting to the bottom of these allegations against Brett Favre? What is his crime if sexual harassment charges are not being pursued? The victim in this is Favre's wife, first and... [More]

  Favre's Streak May End
  ID #708509 entered on 10-15-10 @ 4:58 am EDT
Should I have added a question mark to the title of this blog entry? Just as I want to lure eyes to read what this is about, isn't it possible Brett Favre and the Vikings want to create a little doubt for their upcoming opponent in the Cowboys... [More]

  Monday Night and the Allegations
  ID #708358 entered on 10-14-10 @ 8:20 pm EDT
There is speculation there is a silver lining in Monday night's near comeback against the New York Jets that fell flat after Brett Favre failed to connect with Percy Harvin before the interception that essentially ended the game. Favre dug dee... [More]

  Favre Finally Gets Moss In Minnesota
  ID #707852 entered on 10-06-10 @ 7:37 pm EDT
The long awaited pairing of receiver and quarterback is no longer fantasy, but reality. Randy Moss' return to his old team in Minnesota seems to be the relief the Vikings need in their receiving corps. Questions still remain to be answered. Wh... [More]

  Favre Bench Himself?
  ID #706768 entered on 09-23-10 @ 6:40 am EDT
Interesting theory offered up. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/09/21/whitlock-offers-bold-favre-prediction/ I think there a lot of people out there who want to throw in the towel already. Let's wait to see how the game against th... [More]

  Favre Gets Ankle Injections
  ID #705014 entered on 08-31-10 @ 3:31 pm EDT
Favre has planted another seed in the media. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/08/30/favre-already-is-getting-ankle-injections/ The only reason we know about this jiffy lube job, with his spin on how it might or might not affect his pe... [More]

  Rice Injury Kept Under Wraps?
  ID #704587 entered on 08-25-10 @ 1:08 am EDT
Sidney Rice has broken his silence about his decision to have surgery on an ailing body part just weeks before the start of the season. Profootballtalk.com has conjured up a conspiracy theory that suggests the wide receiver kept quiet about needing t... [More]

  Favre Is Back
  ID #704126 entered on 08-18-10 @ 5:42 pm EDT
He's back. No surprise. Why did everyone get sucked in the second time around...in Minnesota? http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/08/18/favre-says-2010-will-be-his-last-year-and-he-possibly-means-it/... [More]

  The Viking Has Landed
  ID #704072 entered on 08-17-10 @ 9:57 pm EDT
To share here briefy. It seems a contigent from the Vikings went to Hattiesburg to pursuade their QB to make a decision to come back on the anniversary of his last unretirement and it appears to have worked. No one knows for certain if he's final... [More]

  Favre From Gone?
  ID #703170 entered on 08-04-10 @ 12:09 pm EDT
What a time to be on vacation with no internet access at this Black Hills, South Dakota lodge. I have ears thanks to satellite TV and the news about Favre today feels a bit surreal. I have mixed feelings. I adopted the don’t be so sure he... [More]

  Bus Cook Calls Favre A Drama Queen
  ID #701927 entered on 07-20-10 @ 6:40 am EDT
Even Brett Favre's agent is fed up. The recent article in Men's Home Journal calls out the veteran quarterback for giving an interview to ESPN about his ankle without going through the proper channels first... http://profootballtalk.nbcspo... [More]

  Favre Still Hazy About Comeback
  ID #701569 entered on 07-15-10 @ 8:27 am EDT
It's not new, but it's straight from the horse's mouth. Brett Favre says returning for a 20th season is still in the balance, while his surgically repaired ankle remains to be fully healed... http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/0... [More]
