Favre Watch 2010

[darrelgreenie]

ESPN is creating this story by going off the word of an un-named source no one from Favre's camp has said anything.

This is/was a case of irresponsible 'journalism'

[Rdskn4Lyf21]

....and once again, the media creates a story to focus on Favre. He has said nothing, but everyone will choose to hate him, not the media. Good job :applause:

I reallyy hope there is merit to this deadspin article:

Isn't amazing and pathetic how little accountably there is in sports media?

I've only heard a handful of media personalities mention that this 'report' has not come from anyone that would credibly know and has not been confirmed by the people who supposedly received the 'word' i.e. Favre's Viking teammates.

Yeah, I was wondering when the Jenn Sturger story would come up.

EDIT

lol, I just clicked the link, but it doesn't mention Jenn Sturger. She's the chick allegedly.

What's even more amazing is those that slurp this up and turn on the "Brett Favre is an attention whore" :bsflag:

**BREAKING NEWS** Brett Favre tells ESPN's Ed Werder that he didn't text teammates about his future and he'll play if he's healthy. But he also says that it's not about the money.

Whatever Brett. You're no different than any other money hungry, attention grabbing athlete. The only difference is that you actually made people think you were different.

Here we go, from the "horse's mouth."

http://voices.washingtonpost.com/early-lead/2010/08/brett_favre_is_on_football_fie.html

Brett Favre, reached by ESPN as he left a football field this morning in Hattiesburg, Miss., denied reports of his imminent third retirement from the NFL and said he will play this fall if he is healthy.

Favre said he has not made up his mind about whether to return for his 20th season, he told reporter Ed Werder, and denied texting Vikings personnel that he was quitting. Favre told Werder that, if he has fully recovered from ankle surgery this spring, he will play. Favre also denied that he was angling for a raise from the Vikings.

[Johns Bass]

In Seattle...

At least I do not have to hear another AH non-story (the only thing Redskins related they can find)

And as far as far Brett goes...Play it Again Sam

And as far as the Seahawks go...the two above subjects are far more interesting than anything they have to offer - they are actually wetting themselves over Mike Williams for crying out loud.

yeah. Brett Favre is just an old man trying to hang onto what he's got. He really just loves the game which makes the decision to leave so difficult when he can still play at a high level. The decision to retire is a very life-altering decision, and he has a hard time making up his mind. Big deal. Hate the media for running away with it, not the old man who's trying to make a big life-decision.

Called this one in another thread

Nope this is right on schedule. Training camp is upon us - he does not want to do training camp - so yep right on schedule. Come late August expect this to change

How goes the Okung signing?

[mojobo]

lol the media jumps all over a text that was never sent out and people call him a media whore...

Brett Favre is not a media whore... the media is a Brett Favre whore!

You can not be serious. Last year anyone recall? Year before that? Come on now

Brett is no different than Chad Johnson and TO and I'll say he's A LOT worse. Maybe I'll retire, maybe I won't. Dude LOVES the ateention.

[Johns Bass]

How goes the Okung signing?

Not good for Seattle. It does not look like it is going to happen in the relatively near future (as in less than a week) at least. They have signed everyone else so I am not too sure what the snag is -

- unless he is feaqful of practicing against that awesome DLine of theirs

You know what sucks?

The lasting perception usually stems from the orginal report and however wrong it was and a lot of people won't remember that Favre had nothing to do with this story.

They'll just think Favre what a drama queen.

[WhoRUSupposed2Be]

Hopefully we will see a 'Skins and Vikings match-up in the NFC Championship

[KingGibbs]

I'm in the camp that doesn't have a problem with Brett and him being a "drama queen" is media driven.

[Hitman21ST]

Hopefully we will see a 'Skins and Vikings match-up in the NFC Championship

I'd rather it be Skins-Cowboys at FedEx...then we win and go down to Dallas and win the SB there...

[pjfootballer]

I could care less who we would beat in an NFC title game. As long as we go to the SB and win it. Who we play does not diminish it one bit.

[StillUnknown]

espn is probably working on "The Decision: Brett Farve Edition"

[#98QBKiller]

I think Favre's alleged 'drama queen' title is 20 percent him and 80 percent media. Same for TO.
