Expert 3974  MA | Subject: RE: Favre to play again and NOT in GB? Pretty much everyone everywhere saw this coming way ahead of time. Dude has been effing with the Packers' offseason programs for years. Now he's going to give them the ultimate nutshot by forcing them to release him in the middle of his contract. Nice guy. |

Elite 2443 Athens, Georgia | Subject: RE: Favre to play again and NOT in GB? He has also carried hapless teams on his back and played through untold number of injuries for the franchise. I hope he can find a team and kick some buttocks. Heck I will take him for my Bucs. |

Member 1699 | Subject: RE: Favre to play again and NOT in GB? I hope he stays in the NFC North. The Bears are 6-2 against him in the last four years. I wouldn't mind him signing with the Bears either, as long as the defense gets to hit him in practice. He is a great QB, one of the best ever, but he is entering prima donna territory with his annual "Will I/ Won't I" drama. As it causes misery to the Packers and their fans, especially this year, I am all for it. |

Sneaky Slow 8694 Herndon, VA, | Subject: RE: Favre to play again and NOT in GB? I think he's pi$$ed that the last pass he threw was picked off and set up the field goal that sent the Giants to the Super Bowl. |

| Champion 9430 No excuses! | Subject: RE: Favre to play again and NOT in GB? Sweet, I have his rights in my fantasy league so I would love for him to jump on with a high powered offense and get the starting job. |

Had fun as a fan of the gunslinging area and now look forward to a QB that should play more within the system and not take so many "1 reciever....3 defenders...I can fit it in there" chances. |

Expert 3974 MA | Subject: RE: Favre to play again and NOT in GB? I've been a Buccaneers fan my whole life... and all of the "experts" are placing Favre's destination as Tampa. Poor Jeff Garcia. Dude was the league MVP last year short of Tom Brady, takes a team from last to first, and there is still a chance he gets pushed aside for someone else. BTW, if he were at all gracious to the team, he wouldn't be saying "I deserve unconditional release - do not trade me or try to get any value for the contract that I signed".

I'm pretty sure Favre would have topped Garcia for MVP last year. LT probably would have as well. But I will offer my condolences on that whole-life Buccaneers fan thing though. |

| Davenport, IA | Subject: RE: Favre to play again and NOT in GB? Hopefully when he goes to another team, as long as it's not my Vikings, it opens the GB fans' eyes to the fact that while he did win a lot of games on that "gunslinger" mentality he also lost them just as many games. Maybe then you won't hear how he's the all time record holder for TD's and yards (or whatever) and hear all time leader in TD's, INT's, yards, etc...
Edit: Also League MVP voting last year: "Brady is the first Patriot selected NFL MVP. He drew 49 of the 50 votes from a nationwide panel of media members who regularly cover the NFL. Green Bay quarterback Brett Favre, the only three-time MVP, got the other vote." From http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3182557 Theone vote Farve got was John Madden. We all know this.

Took a lot of hard years. We had to wait until Culverhouse died to get the team into good hands. Since 1996 we have a parade of division titles and a super bowl title so things are better now.  |

| Master 1639 Robbinsville NJ | Subject: RE: Favre to play again and NOT in GB? I want to say 1st that I am a Favre fan (but not a GB fan). Having said that how many years in a row can he possibly think he can hold the team (and accompanying salary cap) hostage? Every year for the last 3 or so years he drags this on past free agency and the team is supposed to just sit and wait. Now he's giving interviews and slamming the coach, GM and everyone for any possible mistake they've ever made. Again I love the guy's career but you want to talk about a mistake how about that last pass against the Giants! |

| Expert 3974 MA | Subject: RE: Favre to play again and NOT in GB? "It's tempting just to, as everyone said, you know, call their bluff or whatever," Favre said. "I think it's going to be a circus in itself already, whether I go there, whatever." Okay, now he's getting into TO territory. I've always been a huge fan but every time he opens his mouth I lose more personal respect for him. He's actually considering destroying training camp just to get his way. Great leading, Hall of Fame QB. |

Mike There's an idea. Take a quarterback who sucks when he plays in Dallas and make him your starter so he can suck for 8 games a year. P.S. Green Bay fan and Farve fan. P.P.S. Love watching his ball slinging style AND look forward to having a QB who plays more within the system and doesn't take the high risks. |

You don't think that has anything to do with playing in a hostile stadium on the road. Granted that stadium has a lot to get used to with the major crown in the field but if it became his home stadium I seriously doubt his play there would not improve. Besides, I want him in Tampa and I have already made the call. Thank you Mr. Garcia for what you have done, but we would appreciate if you would just hold this clipboard and cash your paychecks. |

No offense to Tampa Bay fans, especially as a Vikings fan I have little room to talk, but he got you to the playoffs last year through an extremely weak division. But I say the same thing about favre. He hasn't done much since 1996. Since '04 hasn't he thrown more interceptions than TD's? You know that's only going to get worse as his arm strength goes down, which it will...even a little bit matters, and he gets less mobile while trying to make the circus plays he has. I don't see his starting streak lasting the year if he is able to come back this year. |
