Does Anyone Else Kind of Think the Brett Favre Saga is Sort of Cool?

Plays another year, is a huge part of a reason a coach was fired and then still wants to play another season after begging the team that traded for him to release him just to stick it to the organization that he played with for over a decade because they went with a younger guy after he retired.... Not cool at all.

This is a much more detailed description of what I was talking about in my earlier post. Nice job.

Rocky? I haven't seen Rocky in a while, but i don't remember Rocky being a whiny

. The old man needs to retire already and get his A** in the Hall of fame already, I mean hes had a great and illustrious career, and i know hes hungry for a Superbowl, but he ain't what he use to be. It should stop here!

No.

And Favre is nothing like Rocky. Rocky was a better fighter in his old age than Favre is a football player......and a better human being.

This is such a dumb topic. I'm surprised no one has came to Bret's defense. He's a Future HOF'er for christ sake.

I love watching Favre play, i think its cool, and if he does play for Minnesota, i hope he beats the hell out of the Packers.

The Brett Favre saga is one of the uncoolest things ever.

I like watching him play too becuase of who he is. I just hate how he comes back to play, and all the media that comes with it. It just makes him look bad on his part on how he's going about things. *uckin Farve watch....
