Defensive pass intereference, #31?

[ice grillin you]

I hope he flips his Tractor over and gets paralyzed

I hope he flips his Tractor over and gets paralyzed

Are you kidding?  The media frenzy would be intense and horrific.  I'd rather he continues to butt his nose into maybe possibly sort of considering the feasibility and possibility of coming back over and over and over again.  Eventually, the press will tire of his act as much as we have.

But if he loses a leg or becomes a paraplegic?  Yikes.

Favre asks Packers to release him

This guys a trip

[rjs246]

What a douche. Let it go old man. It's farging over.

[Seabiscuit36]

lol, what a joke

[General_Failure]

We need to hire somebody to shoot him in femoral artery. Everyone pitch in a couple bucks.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

That's going to go as well as when we offered to pitch in bail money if hbionic threw an inflatable needle on the field in front of Barry Bonds.

The fact that I remember the conversation you're talking about makes me very sad about my life.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I'm confused!  You seem to post a lot, but you only have about 7000 posts!

Clearly, you haven't been around long enough to remember that conversation.

[rjs246]

The fact that you are still talking about my post count makes me very sad about your life.

[Father Demon]

Me reading the posts about rjs' and FF's sad lives, and then me trying to figure out the right answer, makes my life the saddest I think.

The saddest life of all is Brett Favre. Here's a guy with all the time and money in the world, who is revered as a hero by millions of people, and yet he's not happy unless he's playing the game. He's more addicted to football than painkillers. You know he's going to be a bigtime substance abuser once he can no longer physically play.

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The Green Bay Packers' general manager and coach don't plan to grant Brett Favre's request for his release. If he does rejoin the team, they told The Associated Press, it won't be as the starting quarterback.

And Favre is unlikely to accept a backup role, GM Ted Thompson and coach Mike McCarthy acknowledged Saturday in their first public comments since the 38-year-old Favre demanded his release this week.

A trade may be the best resolution, but Thompson and McCarthy declined to discuss that possibility. Thompson said he had not received any inquiries from other teams as of Saturday morning.

"We've communicated that to Brett, that we have since moved forward," Thompson said. "At the same time, we've never said that there couldn't be some role that he might play here. But I would understand his point that he would want to play."

When asked whether that role might be as a backup or coach, Thompson said: "not a coach."

Added McCarthy: "He did ask about that, though."

He needs his fix so bad, it's getting really disgusting.

It's not shocking though.

I find it interesting to see this play out though. WHich team will trade for him?

Michael Smith was on ESPN saying how Washington should sit Jason Campbell for him.
