The Brett Favre Appreciation Thread

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

This guy is amazing, he makes plays no other quarterback could make. That game last night, he seemed to be out of it and then BAM! he starts making throws that leave other Qbs in awe. He is reckless and excitable and tough. How many straight games is it now? 155? Hell, you may hate the guy, but you have to appreciate that. The guy is completely unafraid, overloaded with confidencewhich is why sometimes he makes the most boneheaded plays. But who else would you want back there if you needed to win a game. One Super Bowl victory, three MVPs on his resume and climbing the all-time statistical charts, the guy’s ticket to Canton is already punched. You may argue there are better Qbs in the league right now, but there is not one I would trade for Brett Favre.

And I didn’t even get into his groundbreaking thespian work in There’s Something About Mary.

Wow! And the way that he got away with being a drug addict in the NFL was fantastic!

And the alcoholism! that’s great!

And how he somehow manages to escape blame when he throws a bad pass by all the commentators saying it’s everyone else’s fault? THat’s amazing.

And really, his greatest accomplishment is how he manages to produce enough semen to choke Dan Fouts, Al Michaels, Dennis Miller, Erik Dickerson, John Madden AND Pat Summerall, with just enough left over to shoot all over Melissa Starks face.

Hey, he’s a great quarterback, I’ve always said that. But how about letting go of his penis for a minute and realizing that for the first two and a half quarters last night…HE SUCKED.

And who would I want if I needed to win a game?

John Elway
Dan Marino
Walter Payton
The Fridge
or

Mike Brown

Tretiak, please stop pulling jarbabyj’s pigtails.

Sheesh, here she is getting worked up about Bret and she hasn’t even ripped Coldfire a new one yet. Where are her priorities?

Drug addict, hehe. Yep, seems most folks have moved on from that Vicoden thing that happend 8 years ago (not crack, not crank, not smack, not X, but pain killers). Especially since he resolved himself that he had a problem, he went and did something about it and he hasn’t had a problem since. Time to turn the page on that one jarbaby.

Funny, I don’t see him escaping blame. He took a lot of shit for that ridiculous interception he threw late against Atlanta. And how many games do I have to hear about how he is throwing wildly to start because he cannot control his emotions. But most folks realize that it’s part of the deal, he takes chances, often stupid ones, but more often than not they work and the Packers win.

[sotto voce]all over Melissa Starks face…[/sotto voce]
Oh, ummmm, where was I…

And that, in your opinion, overzealous admiration is Favre’s fault how?

I’ll ignore the penis stuff, pointless baiting I won’t fall for.

Yeah, he was pretty poor and you know what, the Packers won the game…with three touchdown passes and Favre running in the winning score. Good thing they never passed that new rule about ending the game midway through the third quarter.

jar, are you a Bears fan? I wouldn’t want to assume that is the case. But you do bear (pun intended) a striking resemblance in tone to most bitter Bears fnas I have ever met. The Bears fans who have had to watch Favre year after year beat the living stuffing out of them, a feat he will repeat this Sunday. However, if you are not a Bears fan I do offer my most humblest and deepest apologies for impugning your charcter in the most vile and wicked way.

Uh, retired.

Retired. Dead arm.

Sadly deceased. (I humbly admit Walter was probably he second best running back ever)

Why don’t the Bears track him down? BTW, jar, have you heard the news, The Rams moved to St. Louis…and it’s 2001.

Well I will take this to mean you are a Bears fan. Oh well, and you used to be so cool in my mind. I am sure this is crushing. :wink:

I have it on good authority from alcoholics and drug addicts that once you admit you are one, you are always one, whether you’re sober or not. He’s still a drug addict. If I was taking vicodin every day, just to get through the day, I would be a drug addict. because he was big famous white athlete we admired him for it for some reason.

michael irvin admitted he had a problem and no one ever turned the page on him.

That’s bull. Did you watch the game at all last night? Every time Schroeder or Freeman missed a pass seven feet over their heads it was “Well, Favre put it up there for him, you’ve got to know he’s going to fire that in there…” but when Brunell does the same thing, “Well, that’s just a bad pass”

It’s not. I’m just saying that the perpetual blow jobs are tiring. He IS a great quarterback. There are also other great quarterbacks in the NFL. How many times I have i turned on football games that green bay isn’t even involved in and they’re talking about Brett Favre stats???

Yes I am. But I won’t talk smack with you because you know damn well I’m a bears fan. And Favre doesn’t spank us every year. Perhaps you forget that we beat you IN LAMBEAU last year.

I am confident we will lose this Sunday, but that doesn’t make the bears a bad team nor does it make the Pack the greatest team ever.

There are plenty of teams playing this year that will stomp all over the NFC Central when we get to the playoffs.

And as for your last post, you didn’t say we had to pick current players only.

It’s funny how you condescend to me about football. I know more about football than you may think. That winking smilie is insulting to the highest degree.

jar

12

Where did I condescend to your knowledge of football? I was tweaking you on your bringing up the past. I have no reason to doubt your football intelligence (save for the being a Bears fan part).

13

I have no opinion on Mr. Favre. :wink:

Seriously,

Hmmm you must have watched a different game than mrs beagledave and I watched. Dan Fouts pointed out Favre’s ineptitude in the first half, especially in contrast to his second half performance.

They pointed out his 4 out of 11 passing in the first half…and placed most of the blame on Favre.

I heard quite a bit of praise for Brunnell (especially in the first half…and especially when running the no-huddle)

I think you have a bad case of cognitive dissonance there Jess. :wink:

A couple of points about the other post:

  • We apprently watched differnt games last night and without a tape of the actual game there is nothing to debate.

  • I honestly didn’t know if you were a Bears fan, although I do know you are a Blackhawks fan. I haven’t read any of the other football threads. I may have read it somewhere but I honestly did not catalog this fact if I did read it.

15

Beagle, I love you, but honestly. My husband and I were laughing out loud at how they passed around the praise last night.

Fouts: AND THERE’S BRET FAVRE, just as flawless as he was back in college that hot little scrapper. Let’s go to Erik Dickerson

Erik: Brett Favre throws missles and if you don’t ever see it live, you’re really missing out. back to you Al

Al: Like I’ve always said, i want to have Brett Favre’s baby. Melissa?

Melissa: I sucked him off at half time, that’s how much I love him. Dennis?

Dennis; I don’t want to get off on a rant here, but if anyone thinks anyone in the world can play football better than brett favre, they must be a couple of peeps short of an easter basket.

They DID say one or two half critical things (tempered with “but we love him anyway”) in the first half, but man oh man, the hummers started up right away in period three.

It was like they had all these highlights and interview snippets saved up and couldn’t believe they couldn’t use them the whole game.

And I’ve said before, and I’ll say it again. My main problem with Favre, is not Favre himself, but the Favre worship from commentators.

And guess what Tretiak. As of right now, the bears have a better record than the Pack, so I don’t see what’s so stupid about being a Bears fan (like I have been my whole life). Would you rather I jumped on a bandwagon every year, picking whoever’s winning or stick by my guns?

You insulted my intelligence when you said “By the way the Rams are in St. Louis”

I’m not gonna have to step in here and separate you two, am I?

'Cuz we all know Bobby Hebert was a far better QB than Favre, Fouts, or Marino.

17

Before this thread ends up with a little padlock, I’d just like to say that I am in total agreement about Brett Favre being an amazing quarterback and doing things that other quarterbacks don’t even know how to dream about. Sure, sure, throw a 50-yard frozen rope, yah, sure, that can be done, right, sure…then Favre does it and makes it look easy (well, not easy, but you get the point). Nice idea for a thread, Tretiak!:slight_smile:

Now, let me also say, **that after further review, THE BEARS STILL SUCK!!! **:smiley:

Bears’ week is officially open. See you Sunday, noon, at Lambeau Field, for a good Green Bay-administered shellacking (or however you spell that word!)!!!

ps. I don’t mean to offend anyone personally, especially Jar, but you know, the Bears’ still sucking thing is really out of my control and not aimed at anyone in particular. Well, maybe at the Bears…:stuck_out_tongue:

The Bears will be walking out of Lambeau wearing the undisputed Norris Division Champion belt after this week, and it will all be due to one thing. Brett Favre’s over-rated ability. The Bears secondary isn’t as stone-handed as the Jags. When Brett flails that bullet over the middle a foot out of Freeman’s reach it’s not going to bounce off Mike Brown’s hands. When Brett tosses up that 40 yard rope on a 50 yard fade route, R.W. isn’t going to bobble the pick before colliding with the safety and dropping it. Lets not even talk about poor Bubba Franks after Brett lays him out in Urlacher land.

Brett has a great arm and guts, he has poor instincts and often leaves his recievers hung out to dry, or puts balls at their feet where they have little chance to RAC. He lacks touch on the deep ball, and could never be successful playing with a guy like Moss. Moss loves the lofted jump ball where he goes and gets it, Brett can’t throw this ball. He has one throw, hard and flat. Granted alot of guys don’t have this throw in their arsenal at all, and you can make alot of plays for first downs doing it, but I’ve watched dozens of QB’s I’d rather have on my team than him. This year there’s Warner, Gannon, Garcia, Brunell, McNabb and even Manning (I remember quite a few stretches where Brett was INT prone too, but at least Peyton has all the throws in the book).

I’ll agree he’s a very good QB, he’s also got the numbers to get into the Hall. He however doesn’t deserve the weekly rimjob from the Primetime announcers. No matter what you heard, the rest of the country heard Brett’s bad first half always described with the caveat, and I quote, “but he doesn’t have all pro caliber recievers” who “need to help out their quarterback”. I suppose they forgot that Freeman is a Pro-Bowler. They did state that he made some poor throws, but never blamed him outright for the first half deficit. I suppose the Cheeseheads with their swiss cheese brains were so baffled by a negative comment from the booth about their golden boy they heard it as “Brett has Fucked Mike Sherman’s dog this half”. But I guess I can’t blame them for being confused by the concept of QB critisism.

We’ll see how Brett holds up against a real defense this week.
