The Brett Favre Saga (2010 Edition)

[rangerrick012]

Minnesota bends over for Favre once again. He can argue with the coach on the sidelines, no problem. Can take an entire summer off to contemplate when we all knew he was coming back, just to have the team offer extra money and have 3 of the star players fly down to beg him to come back.

It continues to baffle me how in such a team sport this guy doing everything that flies in the face of that can just get away with it.

Really Brett? You're gonna go ahead and say this is your last year? Are you ****ing kidding me right now?

Wholeheartedly agree.

I am pumped. You can say all you want about Brett and his games he plays with the coaching and all the whole retire not retire thing he does, but the bottom line is he makes the Vikings better and that is all that matters to me. Also, yes he threw that INT, but if he didn't play the way he plays we wouldn't even got to the NFC Championship, so you take the good with the bad with Brett. I am very happy he is back!

Because he wins you football games. Plain and simple. Winning out trumps everything.

Did this MFer really say he "owed it to the Vikings" after how last season ended? I literally LMAO when I heard that comment.

But hey, I guess he didn't "owe it to us" when he giftwrapped the NFC Championship to Corey Webster as well.

He's the football equivalent of what Roger Clemens was doing at the end of his career.

Not really. Clemens was a free agent first if I'm not mistaken. Then he made it pretty clear that he wanted to chill until the middle of the season, and then it was up to the team (Houston at the time?) to decide whether or not they'd allow it. If Favre took that approach nobody would be complaining, calling him a diva, etc.
