Well, if they had any sense, they (a) knew this was a possibility going in and (b) drafted a serviceable backup. For example, in my public league, my week 1 opponent had him, but drafted Eli Manning as a backup. Favre is one of about eight elite QBs for FFB. There's a tier with Rodgers/Brees/Peyton and maybe Schaub. There's another tier with Rivers/Romo/Brady/, and Favre. After that, there's a dropoff. I think some people are taking him as a calculated risk, and most of them have a guy in the 10-14 range as an insurance plan.

ESPN is now reporting (with Favre audio to prove it), that Favre is saying he will definitely play if his ankle holds up. I crap thee not. Unbelievable. No wait, quite believable.

I've come to enjoy this silliness.

Agreed. At this point, there is so much that if one holds anger in their heart, they're likely to have a heart attack. Now, it's just a cartoon that I get to watch without it being a Saturday morning.

That's actually where I got my banning post. I was almost certain I read a mod on that old thread threatening to ban people. I just thought it would be funny to do the same.
