Football Another Favre comeback thread....... - Page 3

DTLB58 · 07-07-2008, 07:10 PM

SI's Peter King writes that Brett Favre "wants to play football again" and his agent could ask the Packers to be taken off the league's reserve/retired list in the next ten 10 days.

It's the logical next step. King writes the Packers clearly don't want him back, so this would force the issue. They'd have to let Favre play or get rid of him, both of which sound frightening. They could also try one last time to convince him not to play. King believes that ultimately the Packers would take him back, risking the chance they alienate Aaron Rodgers. Another option would be if Favre agrees not to join one of their NFC North rivals. Jul. 7 - 9:55 am et

If this happens and I'm Aaron Rodgers I ask for a trade.

He should go to Atlanta.

The only logical spot I could see would be Miami.

Bring him back. The league could use some more interceptions.

I'm kind of curious, I'm not saying I want Favre or anything... but why does it make so much since to go to a bad team like the Dolphins or Falcons but not a bad team like the Chiefs? I don't think it makes sence to go to any of them, or if any of them I think the Chiefs would make the most since since we have(or should have) a good defense, we have targets in Gonzo and Bowe, and a great RB in LJ.

Because he loves the game of football. Probably the same reason why you watch the Chiefs games every weekend. The love of the game. Anyone ever watch Favre play? He plays the game as if he was a kid. I know it gets said a bit, but ****, its true.

The only comeback farve is going to make is There's something about Mary 2.....

If Carl brings in a 38 year old QB to let Brodie fall a year behind I'm going to have him whacked.

play for chance to win another SB. Needs a team close to the level..
Vikes (even though NFC N team)
Buccs (NFC S winner 2007) they trade Garcia seems logical.

tk13 · 07-11-2008, 03:14 PM

I can't believe he'd go to the Vikings. Some Chiefs fans hate Neil Smith for what he did at the end of his career, Favre going to the Vikings would be that times 1000, I'd have to imagine.

StcChief · 07-11-2008, 03:15 PM

but how will the "No Farve League" work without him. The horror.

It'd work pretty well considering his name isn't Farve.

STARTING FOR THE KANSAS CITY CHIEFS...BRETT FAVRE!!!!!

better yet..

Bill Lundberg · 07-11-2008, 03:25 PM

I was just listening to Fox radio and Jay Glazer reported that Favre approached the Packers about this in March. At that time the Packers were all for having him back, then after a weekend, he called back and changed his mind. Said he wanted to stay retired.

If I were the Packers I wouldn't release him, I'd keep him and let him back up Aaron Rodgers. I realize this won't be popular with many, but the team needs to move forward.

blaise · 07-11-2008, 03:28 PM

I've heard reports that he's asked for his outright release. The team I could see taking a shot at him is Buffalo. They have two mediocre QB's at best, they're a middle of the pack team, they have a good running back, and they could use a guy like Favre to boost attendance. It's out of the NFC, there's no rivalry between the teams or cities. I'm guessing he wants to play in a warm weather city maybe, but I think the Bills would be the perfect fit for him.

Favre asks Packers for release
Brett Favre may be determined to play football in 2008, but it now seems unlikely he will do so in Green Bay.
The legendary quarterback has officially asked the Packers to release him, FOXSports.com's Jay Glazer reports. The request was first reported by ESPN.com.
