The Jets won four games last year. Don't you think they will win more than that this year with Favre? Not claiming it will all be because of Favre but he will be a significant part of it though many will claim it was in spite of Favre because of previously-held opinions. Did you just quote yourself? Couldn't think of a better person to quote. |

"He's a drug using, alcoholic"
RDF, please provide specific proof of this claim.

"He's a drug using, alcoholic" RDF, please provide specific proof of this claim. Favre hooked on vicodin in his career and is an alcoholic--his car accident at Southern Miss that nearly killed him was result of drunk driving-he was a drunk in Atlanta--which is why they "gave up on him" and took criticism despite the fact that you can't help someone who puts drinking/partying ahead of football and it was in Green Bay they saved his life-and he acts like the Packers "owe" him? BULL. Once an "addict"--you always are--even if you want to say he's "recovered"--you are a recovering addict. There is a lot more to Brett Favre then people want to know--and it's not all "Funnin" despite the public image he likes to portray. |

There's a HUGE difference between "Is a drug using alcoholic" and "Was a drug using alcoholic." I think you exaggerate the degree to which fans overlook Favre's flaws. Even die-hard Packer fans in Wisconsin always b*tch about his interceptions, and it's a common theme in a lot of jokes around here. Packer fans' attitude towards Favre wasn't the uncritical, ignorant worship that ESPN says it was. Don't base your opinion of us Cheeseheads purely on the media portrayal of us. |

Look at Jets schedule--they should win 8-9 games if Joe Namath put down the bottle and returned to play. Favre is a good QB--and will help them--but he's a selfish, lazy, lying attention whore and his lack of attention to detail--you know those "Brett is just FUNNIN' out there--having a good time" INTS that come from not going to QB school, OTA's, or paying attention to his mechanics/footwork and it costs teams--and then when criticized he isn't sure he "wants to play anymore--this could be it". Favre had a locker/shower seperate from rest of team in Green Bay--and yet he's beloved--as an "average guy" type--which is so far from truth. He's a drug using, alcoholic, who disrespects the sport with his bullcrap--from laying down to give good friend Strahan the sack record, to not taking his work serious enough to work on mechanics, to making everything about him. I just don't buy PHONY people. I'd rather have someone spit in my face then spit in my food when I'm not looking and then sit by me and act like a great guy. Any odds that John Madden is petitoning the NFL to move the Week 2 Jets-Patriots game to Sunday Night Football--and if Madden doesn't get his way--he'll show up at that game and you'll have Michaels calling game scheduled to be televised by himself? Between Madden, Mortensen/ESPN, NFL Network of bafoons, and the numerous updates of how "great he looks" working out with HS players. Okay--a Hall of Famer is shocking people working out with HS players? What kind of standard is there anymore? He should've been working out in Green Bay in offseason--but he skipped it and doesn't like it--which a lot of guys don't--but still do because they know it's their JOB-but that isn't Brett--he's just a guy who loves "FUNNIN'". Break out the slip n' slide---Favre's funnin'--dont' get any of those squishin's on me Mr. B! Now this is more like it. I love this post (putting aside the druggie/alcoholic references - that may have been a tad over the top). RDF, you need to listen to Positively 4th Street a few times. It's right up your alley. |

Ask Bob McGinn about "Brett".
I've got nothing against Packer fans--most of them I know wanted him gone and tired of his bullcrap--I'm going after Favre fans--and the media who work as his own PR firm--and it's pathetic.

No love for A-Rod? I hope Brett has an awesome, MVP-quality year with his rocket arm on a 5-11 Jets team.
