Saint Favre looking to be the talk of Super Bowl weekend

[Sgt PSN]

Rodgers holds onto the ball so farging long too.

yeah he does.  but he's the real deal though so as long as the packers can get a solid line in front of him, they've got a strong offense built for long term success.  dook is so much faster than you'd think too.  since my g/f is a packer backer, i watch a lot of their games too and i've seen him running in the open field and out running speedy linebackers and even some db's.

but do they have a long term offense Sarge? dont get me wrong...Rodgers is good and can win games with his arm, but outside of Jennings, you have an aging Driver, no faith in Ryan Grant, and a tight end in Donald Lee who is just ok

[Sgt PSN]

i think donald lee is pretty underrated in terms of pass catching and rac abilities.  dude has solid hands, very good speed and some agility to go along with it.  they have another young te on the roster too that plays more like a wr than a traditional te, but his name escapes me right now. 

driver is getting up there, but jennings is in his prime right now and driver can still play another 3 years at a high level as long as he remains healthy.  and as you often hear in football, a runningback is only as good as his offensive line.  grant is still pretty solid but it's hard for any runningback to advance the football when he's dodging at least 1 d-lineman or linebacker in the backfield almost every time he touches the ball. 

[Tomahawk]

Jermichael Finley is the rookie TE. He's looked pretty good in the limited playing time he's had - 17 catches for 260 yards and a TD. I am surprised that Driver continues to put up decent numbers, but at 34 I doubt he can continue that kind of production for another 3 or 4 years.

I agree the Packers just need some o-line health/talent. Seems like the defense is getting used to the new scheme.

Nice bit of drama coming out now about the attempted benching.

Favre basically told Childress to farg himself. Childress has no balls to actually pull the rip cord so now he looks like a chump for letting Favre tell him what to do.

And then word came out that Childress wanted to bench him for changing a play call from run to pass in the Packers game at the Metrodome.

[Sgt PSN]

i don't know who is the bigger douchebag.  favre sounds more and more like a whiney funhole who got his hoyda in a bunch because they lost a game. 

childress on the other hand needs to realize that he's a joke of a coach and if brett favre thinks the play should be changed at the los, then it might be a good idea to change the farging play.  favre might be a farging tool but dook didn't break nearly all passing records on accident.

i wonder where childress got his attitude from. lucky for his old boss, he hired a yes man of a qb that doesnt back talk.

I'd love nothing more than to see the Vikings lock in their playoff position by the last week and have Chilly "rest" favre, there by breaking his iron man streak. That would be great.

Favre is such a bitch

Report: Childress, Favre at odds over offense
Posted by Mike Florio on December 23, 2009 12:38 PM ET
We decided to take a 12-hour break from posting anything regarding the Childress-Favre feud because, really, there's nothing new to say about it.

But the 12 hours are up, and there's something new to say, courtesy of the network that will milk this cow until 24 hours after Monday night's game between Minnesota and Chicago has ended.

Ed Werder of ESPN has gotten inside the heads of Brad Childress and Brett Favre, and Werder reports that the tension arises from disagreement regarding the influence each man should have in the offense.

Werder, who cites multiple team sources in support of his report, claims that the talk regarding the possible removal of Favre from multiple games arises not from a desire to protect Favre, but from Favre's tendency to change the plays that have been called.

(Given the subtle pro-Favre tone of the report and Werder's history of interviewing Favre and lack of history specifically covering the Vikings, it's not a stretch to conclude that Favre is one of Werder's sources.)

Werder also reports that Favre resents that Childress "seldom" discusses the game plan with Favre, and that Childress rarely asks for Favre's input.  And when Favre changes the play, Childress "bristles," even when the audible works.

By taking the situation public, Childress is now powerless to remove Favre under the guise of protecting him, or for any other reason.  So Favre is running the show in Minnesota, and nothing Childress says or does can change it.

His best bet, then, would be to enjoy the fact that Favre's performance has removed Chilly from a very hot seat, resulting in a long-term extension.  And while Brett is running the offense the way he sees fit, Childress can spend his free time trying to figure out how he'll regain the confidence and respect of the players who'll be on the team once Favre is gone.

lol at this drama.

TMQ article about Brett, its dead on

[reese125]

Bus Cook released pictures to his buddy of Brett Favres injuries after the Saints game. maybe this is the reason he didnt run on that last play

[Diomedes]

couldn't happen to a better guy

[Eagaholic]

amazing what they can do with Hollywood type make up these days

I guess it's pretty commonplace for agents to get pics of players boo boos out to the public

[reese125]

I dont think its that hard to believe. If the guy is friends with Cook, whats the big deal of sending pics over?
