Brett Favre to retire YET AGAIN
Well, at least that's what ESPN says he's doing.

And in other news, I'm still breathing.

Re: Brett Favre to retire YET AGAIN
I sort of feel like this might be the real one. He turns 41 during the season.

Agreed. As Fred Sanford would say, "Looks like this is the BIG one!" Or in this case, "the REAL one."throatybeard wrote:I sort of feel like this might be the real one. He turns 41 during the season.
I must admit, I am surprised though. And a little dissapointed.

Re: Brett Favre to retire YET AGAIN
I'm trying to make myself care about Favre's latest retirement, but I don't think I'm over my last case of Favre fatigue.
As for the Vikings...OUCH! Now their hopes rest on Travaris Jackson and Sage Rosenfels.

Yep. Vikings just went from a Superbowl contender to a pretty good, somewhat above average team.mph wrote:I'm trying to make myself care about Favre's latest retirement, but I don't think I'm over my last case of Favre fatigue.

Re: Brett Favre to retire YET AGAIN
I agree with Ozzie. We've heard this before. I feel like he'll retire until training camp is over, then unretire.OZZIE4DUKE wrote:I'll believe it in December... Make that February.Lavabe wrote:Well, at least that's what ESPN says he's doing.

Well, at least he's bumped Albert Haynesworth off the ESPN crawl.

Re: Brett Favre to retire YET AGAIN
1. Have ambigous meetings with team owners/GM/Head Coach
2. Allow rumors of injury/poor health to spread (rumors must include age reference)
3. Await inevitable rumors or retirement
4. Wait for major news services to pick up retirement rumor
5. Wait a few days more
6. Hold weepy sniveling press conference with family at side announcing retirment
7. Allow preseason to begin
8. Allow rumors of your working out to leak to media
8.5 Be seen winging passes in a USM T-shirt somewhere near Hattiesburg [edit]
9. Be seen 'sneaking' in or out of training facility
10. Hold weepy sniveling press conference with family at side announcing UNretirment
11. Play most or all of season
12. Hold weepy sniveling press conference with family at side bemoaning the difficult decision you will make
regarding retirement in the off season
13. Repeat

Re: Brett Favre to retire YET AGAIN
I'm glad I didn't take Sidney Rice in the 3R of the fantasy draft I'm in.
Re: Brett Favre to retire YET AGAIN
Related question: What does Favre's retirement mean for Peterson from a FFL perspective? Does it make him more valuable because he'll have to shoulder more of the offensive load, or does it decrease his value because defenses will put 8 in the box to stop the run?
On balance, I'm leaning toward increased productivity.
It's a lot easier to predict the impact on the Vikings' wideouts.
