One of the main reasons why Brett Favre was one of the most loved players was because he not only loved the game but he loved Green Bay and they loved him back. I guess during all those years on the bench, Aaron Rodgers forgot to take notes.

During an interview with Sports Illustrated he had some pretty interesting comments for the fans who will be sitting their asses in the cold to watch him play:

The magazine asked Rodgers “whether he feels pressure to connect with the fans the way Favre did.”

“I don’t feel I need to sell myself to the fans,” Rodgers responded. “They need to get on board now or keep their mouths shut.”

So after those comments came out, either he realized how stupid that was to say or someone smacked some sense into him but he quickly tried to clear the air when he was contacted by phone:

“I do care deeply about the fans and I think anybody who has been to training camp sees a lot of times I’m the last one out signing autographs. I care about the fans; I care about their opinions,” Rodgers said. “Everybody wants the fans to care for them and to pull for them and I am no different.

“I think my record, as far as the time I spend with the fans, and more importantly the stuff I do in the community, kind of speaks for itself.”

Wheres number 4 when you need him?

Brett Favre may want to play football but do the Packers even want him back?

The report came out of ESPN yesterday that he wants to return to the NFL but what if the Packers don’t want him back?  Are we gonna have another Steve McNair situation here?  [Sporting News]

Here is a video of talking about how Bretty Favre still has the “itch” to play (is he sure it isn’t crabs?).

Seriously though, Brett had a great career, one of legend and he should probably go ahead and get a job at ESPN or CBS or something.

Wow. So I don’t have much to talk about here besides the fact that I just added a little featured post plugin to the blog ——>

It’s been announced that Brett Favre will be the coverboy for Madden 2009. Thats whats up.

Thats a great tribute to the recently retired legend. He deserves it but I have a couple of questions.

Since he is on the cover, does that mean that he is going to play next year?

If he doesn’t decide to play, does that mean that he will still be affected by the Madden Curse?

Btw, I don’t know if this is the real cover or not. :-/

So it’s possible that we may see Brett Favre lace em up again for the Packers. He claims that he has no plans on returning but that if the Packers need him to return due to injury or if the situation is right then he might return (he’ll be back).

Here’s an excerpt from the LA Times article:

“I guess my best response would be, right now no,” Favre told the Sun-Herald in Biloxi, Miss., when asked if he’s coming back. He spoke to sportswriter Al Jones, who is working with him on a book foreword.

But Favre conceded he might have a tough decision to make if, say, Green Bay called and asked him to come back because of team injuries.

“It would be hard to pass up, I guess,” he said. “But three months from now, say that presents itself, I may say, ‘You know what, I’m so glad I made that decision. I feel very comfortable in what I’m doing and my decision.’

“Yeah, I can probably be up there doing that and playing, but again, I don’t know. It’s only speculating. I think the world of that team. I had a lot of fun, not only this year, but over my career. Those guys I played with this past year, a lot of young guys, a lot of fun.”

Saying that his Packers replacement, Aaron Rodgers, has “fallen into a great situation,” Favre added: “And if that opportunity presented itself and they did call, it would be tempting. And I very well could be enticed to do it.”

Something tells me that we will see Favre again. He says that he doesn’t have plans to return but thats what Michael Jordan said too, then he wore number 45. I don’t know who Favre thinks he’s fooling. He will be back next year. At this rate, Aaron Rodgers will retire before he does.

Who knows if we will ever see #4 lace em up ever again but if this is it, Thanks to Brett for everything.  I have tons of respect for Brett Favre even though I have never been a Packers fan.

According to Foxsports, Green Bay Packers great, Brett Favre is calling it a career.  Barring any last minute changes of heart (which Brett Favre has been known to do), it will be a wrap for his 17 year career.

Favre will be leaving after one of his better seasons, passing for 4,155 yards, 28 touchdowns and breaking numerous records last season.

Favre leaves the game as the NFL’s all-time record holder in wins, passing yards, touchdowns, interceptions and consecutive games started by a quarterback.  He also has three MVP awards to his credit.

We’ve witnessed one of the best to ever do it and if this really is it, thanks Brett for all the memories.  Even though I have never been a Packers fan, I was always entertained by Favre and his love for the game and it’s sad to see him go.

So as this game started, you could tell that it wasn’t gonna be like most games. The snow was coming down and as the game went on it only got worse and worse. Thats kind of like what the day was like for the Seahawks.

They got off to a fast start forcing Ryan Grant in two fumbles in the first couple of minutes of the game. The Seahawks jumped all over the opportunity scoring two straight touchdowns to go up 14-0 early in Lambeau Field. Uh-oh, could the Seahawks come into Lambeau and beat the favored Packers? Could they possibly pull off the big upset…..?…… No.

Brett Favre and Ryan Grant weren’t intimidated whatsoever. They went off to score 5 straight touchdowns. Ouch. Ryan Grant made up for his early mistakes by gaining 201 yards are the ground and accounting for 3 touchdowns. Not a bad way to respond.

Ryan Grant’s day not only gave him some confidence after starting the game out horribly but his 201 yards and 3 touchdowns are all franchise playoff records. Not bad for you first playoff game eh? This production helped them pull off an offensive avalanche that was comparable to the avalanche of snow that was coming down by the end of the game. It got really bad towards the end which worked in their favor being up so big because Seattle couldn’t really get the passing game going and their running game was stifled as well.

L.T. proves he’s the best

Ladainian Tomlinson took the rushing lead in Monday Nights win over the Broncos. The Chargers also took the game from the Broncos, blowing them out 23-3. The Broncos have fallen hard.

In the beginning of the game it looked like it was gonna be a tough game when John Lynch hit Tomlinson on a 2 yard run in the beginning of the game and knocked his helmet off. Afterwards, he got gully and took the helmet and tossed it 10 yards and got an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.

“I thought it was going to be that kind of a night, where even the good guys turn to bad guys,”
-Tomlinson

Tomlinson replied by having 107 rushing yards on just 19 carries and 1 touchdown and made Broncos defenders look silly all night. With previous rushing leader Willie Parker injured, Tomlinson passed him for the rushing lead and going into the last week, looks like he is going to finish the season as the rushing leader.

The Chargers looked good tonight but they made too many errors to win a game against a playoff team. They need to clean up some of their mistakes if they expect to beat the Patriots or the Colts in the playoffs.

Pats go to 15-0

No surprises here.  The Patriots beat the Dolphins 28-7 at Gillette Stadium on Sunday ending their longest win streak of the season.  1 win.  While the Patriots became the first team in NFL history to become 15-0 in a season.

With one game left the Patriots have a chance to set more records.  They can potentially become the highest scoring team in NFL history.  Randy Moss and Tom Brady also have a chance to set individual TD marks.

So as we continue to watch cheaters prevail it makes us wonder.  Should we have taken the evil genius Bill Belichick more seriously when he was teaching us how to make peanut butter and jelly.

Bears all over Packers 35-7

Brett Favre had to be brought back down to earth on Sunday. Brian Urlacher certainly did his part to help that happen. Check out Brian Urlacher’s 85 yard pick 6.

Wow… He looked exhausted after that.

The offense sort of helped in the blowout. They scored two touchdowns but it was mainly the Bears defense and special teams that won them the game. This sort of reminded us of why they went to the Super Bowl last year. If only they could’ve played like that all year.

This loss gives the Cowboys home field advantage in the playoffs so we will see how this affects the Packers down the line.

Browns hurt playoff chances

All the Browns had to do to make it to the playoffs was to win. Now they’re great year may be for nothing if they don’t make the playoffs. They laid an egg against the Bengals who they beat in a shootout earlier this year.

This loss combined with the Titans win means that the if the Titans win next week at Indy they will be in the playoffs. If they lose than the Browns will be in. Regardless of what the Browns do. I almost forgot about the Titans but they may just sneak into the playoffs.
