Goodbye, Brett Favre.

Remember that another quarterback had a bad day with a lort of interceptions, and still won. It is a team game. Brett will be back.

I really hope Brett comes back for another season, the Super Bowl isn't going to be as good this year now

I kind of expect Brett to be back, now that the powers that be in Green Bay have finally surrounded him with a decent team that has big potential. Problem is, Brett looked all of his 38 years in the second half on Sunday. His passes just didn't have any zip to them and were way off target.

I've always respected him and would like to see him go out on top. It almost seems more poetic, though, that he go out after a valiant effort in "Ice Bowl II" on the classic Frozen Tundra, rather than getting blown out by the Pats a couple of weeks later in the Corporate Sponsorship Bowl--which is what would have happened. The Pats are going to absolutely crush the Giants, count on it.

I am the transportation manager for 3 newapapers. I read all 3 of them each day to check for accuracy and print quality, and also the competition's papers to se how they stack up. Some of these include the Boston Globe, the New York Times, and USA today. Like anyone in Boston, I read everything I could about the 2 games in any paper I could find yesterday. Many of the sports columns I perused about the Giants/Packers game were written by nationally syndicated columnists who undoubtedly command a massive payout to submit their word to print.

Chris's post blew all of them out of the water. On Monday 1-21-08, the best sports columnist in the country definitely wan't posting at NFL.com.

o/t - why did I just read this as 'Goodbye fretwire'?

Drew · 01-22-2008, 10:41 AM

I completely agree. Really, I don't feel that anyone played a good game of football that night, in either conference, but I was in a room full of Pats fans (plus, stranglely enough, one GB fan, my roommate Liz, who we didn't even know was into sports until she started jumping around and screaming at the tv) and no one was happy to see that game end with an OT field goal.

At the end of the day, I'm not THAt big a football fan, and I don't have any particular aliegence to Green Bay. But for better or for worse part of being American is believing in the underdog with the history, and that was the Packers. I'm really sorry we're not seeing a Green Bay/New England matchup.

...besides, I really wanted to talk trash to Liz as we steamrolled her team.

Chris im a huge Brett Favre fan and Packers fan obviously and wanted to say that i agree with everything you said and your post gets my vote for post of the year. Very well said bro.

Take care, Brett. Enjoy your retirement.

Shawn · 01-23-2008, 02:06 PM

I watched this whole game and I must say, it was a damn good game and so close. I have to admit, I was for the Giants because I was upset that the Packers annihilated my favorite team, the Seahawks. I thought both teams did good, Brett Favre did alright but threw some incomplete passes. Eli Manning seemed to have a good night too. Really weird how Tynes missed the first two kicks and then finally at the end with all that pressure, kicks a good one to win the game.
