I say:"Come on back, Brett Favre". It is fun watching him perform ( and a little frustrating at times too), but overall a real pleasure. If he could lead the Pack back into the playoffs again, I think he would have the Record---leading his Team into the PO's 12 times. I think he is tied with Montana now at 11. That would add even more to his Regular season Resume, which is the best of any QB that ever played the game.

Hey Brett, say it isn't so... I love to watch you play... and I am a Chief's fan at that... But, you are pure joy to watch...and so was Joe Montana. Think about staying yet another year...Please...Pretty Please with Sugar on Top...

While I tend to agree with Phil, even I wouldn't be such a low-life idiot to say it the way he did. Brett needs to just decide right after the end of the season. I'm not a Packers fan, but I'm sick of waiting for him to decide.

Agreed. Phil. Besides, all you fans...his name is NOT pronounced FARVE by his extended family. It's like Favor. We have some right here in our town and they laugh at his "fakiness".

Wouldn't it be nice to see him play for another year? We have watched him face many personal trials. He has shown us all what it is to be human. He has shown us what it takes to be a leader. Brett is a prime example of a great human being. If he chooses to retire, who could blame him? If he chooses to play the game, he will give it his best. He is a great example of a work ethic American people should have when they go to work every day. All or out. He will do what is best for his family, his team, and himself.

Say Phil, anyone who knows football...including Bo...knows thAT FAVRE does hold an entire team at his mercy.
And Ann, since when does the pronunciation by his "extended" family (Farve/Faver, Theismann/Theesmann, Terr-ell/Te-rrell) affect a guy's playing ability or value to his team???? And this comment coming from someone who uses the word "fakiness?" -- Ann, do you even know what a football is?

Down here around Kiln, Mississippi, Brett's family, friends and fans all say "FARVE". I don't think we have any "FAVOR" branch of the family in Hancock County. It would likely be pronounced "FAHV-ruh" (approximately) by those clinging closely to the French pronunciation. In any case, I see no pretentiousness (or, if you wish, "fakiness") on Brett's part. Certainly, he and his family are more articulate and well-mannered than Phil.

when bret looks in the mirror he can see there is still a lot of football left and he has to finish training his replacement so when he does retire he can be proud of his legacy and the furure of the pack

I hope favre does come back. the packers will have a tougher year then last year. they will have to play most of the play-off teams, then we will all see if favre is as good as everyone thinks he is. I hope the pack plays the pats this year and its on tv. the interception king will have a terrible year in 2008 if he comes back.

Favre homage: on bended, creaky knee
November 29, 2007 (OLD BUT RIGHT ON !)

NBC has "Bionic Woman." The NFL has Brett Favre, the bionic man. Guess which one is having the better season? I don't know what you're eating, Mr. Favre, but pass the candy dish.

You're maybe the last American hero. A postmodern DiMaggio. A Wyatt Earp. You're about 140 years old, with the smile of an 8-year-old and a gun like Zeus.


You do all the things the other superstars don't. You play in that city by the bay, an obscure little place with more chipmunks than people, more deer rifles than cellphones. Up there in northern Wisconsin, you don't ride in limos; they just send over Santa's sleigh.

You're us, which isn't so bad -- at least if you ask us. You're not some natty dude, a blingy gold-toothed Liberace. No three-pointed kerchief in your suit pocket, like the male mannequins back in the Fox studio. No sir. You wear your hair like the 18th green, short and fast. You could comb it with a golf towel.

Yep, we appreciate your sense of style -- the plain gray T-shirts and the faded jeans. You've got that same lovely wife you started with. Your beard's getting a little frosty, the jowls a little puffy, but she's stuck by you, that woman. Through your tough times. And you through hers.

Love your loyalty, love your work. The cynics claimed you were done. "Retire, fool," they said last season. "Put a fork in Favre. His popper has popped."

Turns out they were the fools. They forgot you were part Choctaw, part '56 Chevy. You're having your greatest season yet, playing like a legend. And like a scrub who just appreciates the chance to suit up.

Sure, your wheels don't work like they used to. People forget that you have the same degenerative hip disease that permanently sidelined Bo Jackson. At 38, you can sprint with the kids for about three half-steps, then ... look out ... cruuuuuuunch. Those first steps on a Monday morning must really snap-crackle-pop. Talk about a working stiff. Welcome to the club.

When you're not at work, you're at home, just like the rest of us middle-aged saps. I'll bet she's already nagging you about all the Christmas junk, huh? Brett, can you bring those boxes up from the basement? Brett, how about hanging the outdoor lights on the birch tree? That sort of stuff. Like the rest of us, you don't need a holiday to remind you of your blessings.

Yep, you're us all right, and we couldn't be more thrilled. You don't like to miss work under any condition. It's just the way you were raised. A guy thing. You don't miss work. In almost 300 games, including two Super Bowls, you haven't missed a start. It is the sports stat of our time.

And we certainly don't mind your sense of craft, your safecracker's cool. One moment, you're zinging thunderbolts across the middle. The next you're looping 9-iron shots in the end zone. The laser bomb that beat the Broncos? Boom! Brilliant.

You're what we all hoped to become in the backyards of our youth. You play as if you're hanging with your pals, and the sun is setting and the moms are calling everyone home for supper. Come on, Brett, your buddies say. One more. One more series ...

Blanda. Nicklaus. Aaron. They all played their respective games a long time, gave us old-timers hope. Now you're our time machine, our fountain of goof.


Also cheering will be millions of gimpy guys a little past their prime for whom you've become this year's most compelling sports story. An inspiration. A Perseus in cleats.

So, come on, Brett. One more. One more series ...

Brett is NOT going to retire with a team as good as the Packers are right now. I'll bet Walker is wishing he would have stayed. Brett is still remembering that interception in overtime and wants to have another chance at the super bowl. GO PACK GO!!!Brett is the man!!!
