will the saddest day in NFL history happen soon?

Re: will the saddest day in NFL history happen soon?

ps. Moss' celebration was hilarious! People need to lighten up and not take it so seriously. T.O. has been much worse this season imho.

One key difference: the only one's who complain about TO are the other guys. Moss on the other hand disrupts his own team.
============

As for Farvre, I admire him as much as the next guy, but part of being the classy champion that he is, is knowing when it is time to hang 'em up. Something Gretzky did incredibly well, and Jordan did incredibly poorly.

Brett did not play a good game yesterday, and considering how many injuries he's had over his career, I can't really see him getting as good a shot at it next year, or beyond.

I agree with LV, Favre will not retire. Brett is arguably one of the greatest competitors the game has ever seen and is definitely one of a dying breed of loyalty and sportsmanship. Even though I'm not a Packers fan I still tune into to all of their broadcast games because I know I'm (usually) going to see a pretty good performance.

As for yesterday's game: it was a collective loss for the entire team. Favre made a couple bonehead mistakes (who doesn't), receivers did run the wrong routes, and the defense played like shit.

Ray Lewis: not the best player on defense this year, but definitely the most consistent. As for whether he was a baby after being called out: I would've said something about it too if someone that I had befriended and trusted did something like that to me.

im glad that the curse of madden vid game followed to ray lewis.

2 of those picks were pop-ups anyway.

As for the tossing the ball past the line thing...well, that's Favre. Gunslinger does not mean he always hits the mark. I just don't understand how anyone could say that they out and out HATE Brett Favre. He seems like a genuine, down to earth kind of guy..like he doesn't really belong in the league expect for the fact that he's really, really good. I'm nowhere near a Packer fan, but I can easily say he is one of my favorite players ever.

He may be slipping, but when he is on, he is on. And there have been few better.

Say what you will about Favre, but the guy unites a whole fucking state. I'm sure you would have miles of people lining up to take a bullet for the guy if asked - and why? He performs, he never complains, and he gives back to the community. Would someone take a bullet for Ray Lewis? Ha.

The Packers are the only team in the NFL owned by the community, and I have to say, that most of players realize that and act accordingly, especially Brett (exception - Mackenzie) You want to talk about class? I went to a practice session this year, and the players ride the bikes of local kids, letting them either ride on the pegs or run along side carrying their helmets, and they answer questions and take pictures. That is class. In Green Bay it's not about the show, but how well you play the game, and everyone in Wisconsin, and especially Madden outside of Wisconsin, knows that. Have you heard Farve say anything except the facts about how shitty his life is right now? No, he knows he didn't play well, and now he has to figure out how best to serve his family. Imagine that, family first, football second.

He knows he's had a good run, he knows he's old. But I wouldn't be surprised if he played one more year.

But don't bash the guy for not being Payton right now. Do you think Payton could destroy the Raiders the way Brett did the freakin' day after his Dad died?

Re: will the saddest day in NFL history happen soon?

the true blue warrior, brett favre, seems to be pondering his retirement.. ...sad sad sad. the NFL is losing the classiest guy they have in the league if he puts the cleats in the locker for the last time :cry: . a legend who is the only player ever to win the MVP 3 times, he consistently played his best during the worst times of his life..... this really stinks. i could only hope that the pack go out and tool up for next season so favre will come back and go out at the top....

stay brett!~ the league needs you more than ever.

if not, i'll be in canton for the induction.

The game hasn't been the same since this guy left:

Brett is a great quarterback, one of the best ever. His performance against Minnesota was questionable to be sure, but everyone has their bad days.

Peyton Manning is awesome to watch, if Indy can tighten up their defense the team will be unstoppable.

[WilDFire]

Mike H is in the house! Keep up the great work Mike! Coming to play in Boston anytime soon?

[mike hiratzka]

Re: will the saddest day in NFL history happen soon?

Thanks, I'll do my best...

Nothing planned for Boston at the moment, but I'm working on tour dates for the first half of the year now so hopefully something will come up...

Are you a Patriots fan? Should be a great offensive battle on Sunday!

That's for sure. Go Pats!

[Jibgolly]

you mean Go Colts dont ya skatty ?

[skahound]

No, I think I got it right the first time. I will never in a billion years be able to cheer for the Colts. It doesn't matter who their coaches, players, or cheerleaders are. As long as they have the same owner they can all rot in the 9th rung of hell.

[Jibgolly]

who cares. Go Colts!

Amen brotha...a-fucking-men.

Cheers Evangelion. And Mike - I am a Pack fan first, Pats fan second since I live in Beantown.

It would be great to see you out here - and bring Mr. Bazell! with you! I used to see Kevin all the time playing or at what was then Global Grooves when I lived in Venice but I moved out here two years ago and miss my beach desperately :cry:

Cheers again,
Alex
