there is alot of interesting conversations about brett these days...
one is holgrem's friendship with brett, could he come to seattle??
two is my personal opinion the only team that sticks by old quarterbacks is the raiders i have always joked that oakland may be his next stop before the hall of fame.
third is that the people of green bay will not let him leave if he decides to come back to football, and if he would have made the playoffs then he would most definatly come back for one more year.
well thats my thoughts.

I hope so he has caused enough grief over the years.
No. I hope not.
Nope.
1) Robert Ferguson
2) It's a shame upper management let it get that bad. I blame them for not hiring proper replacements for both Ron Wolf and Mike Holmgren.
3)They are better than last year and they will be better next year (with Favre).
Brett isn't a money grubber, he has enough. He will play untill he wants to say good-bye to the game.
1) He acted similar last year. He actually got on the Seahawks bus and told Holmgren he was done.
2) Are you sure that is what he said? I don't think so; I believe that was just an allusion.
I really hope you don't mean that Bob. Cause' dems' fighten words!

He seems to have a real hard time coming to terms to retiring after saying this is my last year playing football. It can go either way but I won't be surprised if he returns for "one more season".
hahahahaaaaa you knew he couldnt go away! he's back!

He will be watching the 2 chicago games they play next year from his back.
Hey at least we aren't playing golf and wondering whether or not our QB will stay in one piece next year??
You know, I realize that, and I am not at all knocking Brett Farve, but realize this, he is 37 years old, at least 2 times this year he went off, and they wondered whether or not he would be back that game. He came back, more to his credit!!!
The fact is, the Bears are still playing, Rex Grossman may suck, but he and the Bears are playing in the Super Bowl, and the Packers aren't.
I will not argue about Brett, he is undoubtedly the greatest QB to maybe ever play the game, but he will have to wait until July to put his pads on again.
Stats are great, but I find that they are just as good as excuses, so go ahead and release some more stats that everybody already knows.

Oh ok, sorry. I thought the title of this thread was... "Brett Favre" :razz:

Most NFL MVP awards: 3

From 2002 to 2004, Favre threw a touchdown pass in 36 consecutive games, the second longest streak ever behind Johnny Unitas' 47.
Favre continues to close in on several NFL career records. As of the end of the 2006 NFL season, Favre stands at:
