Brett Favre retiring from the NFL after 17 seasons

Started by Mike Olbinski · 10 months ago

Wow, this is a historic day.
Sometimes sports has a way of entering into the world of pop culture, and while it may be borderline, the fact that Brett Favre is retiring from the NFL after playing for an amazing 17 seasons, I felt it was worth noting here.
Heck, Brett Favre made some ... Continue reading »

    Wow! That blows my mind. I really thought he'd be back for at least one more season. He'll be missed.

    Definitely the end of an era. One of the all time greats.

    Sorry Nicky, but hatin on Brett won't help your hapless Bears. :-)

    Scotty - you got that right - the Bears sucked pre-Brett, during Brett, and post-Brett. Nicky - this does not change your world one bit. :)

    Oh man! I hadn't heard this yet. I thought he would go one more year... of course, I've been saying that for several years now, but that's not the point.

    Man, now who am I going to avoid drafting in my fantasy league?

    Do you think they asked him to leave because of that gay stripper thing? Oh wait, I'm getting my pop culture and football mixed up.

    Brett, I will miss you... (insert dramatic voice here) in the frozen tundra... of Lambeau Field...

    Nicky, it wont help your Vikings either :)

    But honestly N-to-the-icky...you gotta admit it's going to be sad to have the thorn-in-your-side gone from the NFL :)


    @ Jeff, if you had him last year, you might have won yours!

    No, it makes me very happy actually. Yes, I think Brett was a great player, it's just that the Packers are my enemy so anything that will help us beat them next season is good to me! Plus, I am a grumpy, sick with a cold, pregnant lady who can't take any Nyquil right now and this is actually made my day a little better. :)

    I had Ben Roethlisberger and I did win last year. In fact, I repeated as my League Champion. I also spanked Jason in my Salary Cap challenge, but I'm not sure he wants to speak about that publicly.

    There's always next year.

    Still, I've essentially grown up watching him play and it's going to be odd (if he stays retired) seeing some other QB for the Packers.

    My, the two of you are getting along well these days...

    Please, Jeff. You had Ben Roethlisberger. I had Ben Roethlisberger. Everyone had Ben Roethlisberger. I'm not sure I fully understood all the rules in your pseudo-league, so I had to gracefully bow out mid-way through the season. You remember? It was right around the time all my players got hurt and I couldn't trade anymore. So, I'm sure next year will be different.

    But even I wasn't brave enough to keep Brett on the roster, no matter how much I loved him. Cause the Cowboys OWNED him!

    Everyone had Ben? It's a salary cap league? That's for wimps...real men play head to head, auction draft leagues!

    No, Jason is confusing our leagues. I was in about 5 leagues. The salary cap league I had Tom Brady and Tony Romo for pretty much the entire season.

    Nobody could touch me. The draft league that I run, I took Big Ben in like the 10th round and came out way ahead because that was a major value pick so I was able to stock up on RBs and WRs.

    Jason can handle fantasy stuff - well, unless it's like a gay stripper idol fantasy league - then he owns. LOL

    Gay Stripper Idol Fantasy League - Now you've confused me with Mike again...

    How would you like to explain that to your wife? "What kind of league are you in again?"
