Favre requests trade

Recommended Posts

Its all over ESPN that following the NFL draft that Brett Favre requested a trade. I guess he doesnt want too be the QB of the packers as much as the fans want him too. I think its rather hilarious.

Old news. He was talked out of it with in a few hours. He was upset because Packers didn't go after Moss. He also was not to happy with the Packers draft. He is back in the fold again.

Hey vikingsfreak, just because the queens suck doesn't mean you have to attack Favre.At least he has had Many a great season, and with a decent receiver core he could easily be great again.

Alot of QB's could be great with a great recieving core.

All you Viking fans would welcome Favre in with open arms, just like us Packer fans would have welcomed in Moss. The reason you have such a hard time admitting it is because YOU DON'T HAVE HIM!!!!

Not true, but a nice way to justify your feelings about how "mediocore" the greatest quarterback of all time is. How are the Lions doing by the way? Sending any quarterbacks to the pro bowl? Not any time soon!

MNVikingsfreak, not even you would take T. Jackson over Favre, you would have to be completly nuts to say that!

GO PACK GO!

Favre is good but far from the greatest QB of all time. In fact he has never been the greatest QB currently playing in his whole career. Don't get me wrong he is good. But not the best.

Yeah, I'll bet Tom Brady would have been asking to be traded to Cleveland, Detroit, Houston, or the Vikes if they had passed on Randy Moss.

kidding of course, but in all honesty, if Chili Pepper had passed on the chance to get Randy back in Purple, well...I bet he wouldn't be Coach right now.

Oh, ok, so maybe not that either, but I know I'd be one mad mother trucker if we could get Randy and didn't.

I'd trade Favre.

And I'd take Favre and Randy on one team any day.

I also dream of the day that Peyton Manning is the QB of the Vikes in a 4 wide set of Randy Moss, Marvin Harrison, Steve Smith, and Reggie Wayne while L.T. stands in the backfield.

Who says offense can't win games?????

It was just his annual "I'm not sure if I want to play anymore" speal. He does this every year, fueling rumors about retiring, etc. Although this one was a real slap in the face here in Packerland.

YOU"VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!!!! Please tell me who is better than him in his career....Peyton? John "horse toothed ja#&#$s" Elway? Marino? Favre is set to break 4 records this year that Marino has held for how long? You made a bold statement, what on earth do you have to back that up?

I never said favre wasnt good he is just way overrated when he throws into triple coverage and get picked off the announcers say "brett favre is a risk taker" and when he throws another int and the closest wr is 10 yards down the field madden says "I'll take that gunslinger anytime" I think it's pretty funny how favre was so upset about not getting randy he even said he would give up 3 million off his contract to get moss well 3 years ago favre coundn't stand moss and said the packers are too much of a classy team to have a player like moss times have changed I guess lets all look into the future of great qb's like manning,brady,brees,palmer,mcnabb and yes the vikes qb jackson sucks!

I'm so sick of hearing how favre is going to retire every year, just shut up and play or quit. Quite honestly I'ld like him to stay, he throws away a lot of games with his passing decision. I do give the Packers some kudos for drafting the player they wanted this year instead of somebody favre thought would help him out. He's selfish (all what is good for him not the best interest of team future) and has held the organization back. But hey, stay, gotta be more picks for td's in that rag. I'm one who wouldn't want to see him in a vikes uniform, to demanding and thinks his opinion really means something. I know my opinion doesn't mean anything, had to spit it out anyway. Stay another five Brett you'll really kill the pack then.

IMO QB rankings are

1. Joe Montana

2. Dan Marino

3. John Elway

Favre is in the top 10 until Peyton and Brady finish up their careers then he will problably move out. Records are one thing but when you play more games at QB then anyone ever has you should hold some records. With that being said to still be in the top ten is excellent compared to all the QB's who have ever played the game. If they babied QB's like they do now back in the day and had the technology to keep players playing I would say some of the QB's back in the day would be the greatest of all time.

Kurt Warner hold a few records and is in the top 3 of some others does that make him great? I wouldn't even put him in the top 20....maybe 50. Favre probably holds the record for some of the stupidest throws ever also.

I could uderstand why the Pack wanted Moss. He's caught more touchdowns in Lambeau than 75% of the Packer Receivers of the last 10 years. I myself would not welcome Favre with open arms as you cheese lovers have said. I am just now starting to accept Longwell. Favre is the enemy. I suppose you Pack lovers would of welcomed Tarkington after all those years of kicking your booty...if you do you're not true fans!!!!!!!!!!! Favre is whining as usual, I am sure they gave him another $100,000 to take back his statements about wanting to be traded

I enjoyed that one grin.gif

I think Favre is good enough to lead a strong team of receivers deep into that playoffs and I agree with his comments that Driver, Jennings and Moss would have been a great 3 receiver spread.

I hate Elway with a passion, but Favre reminds me of him at the end of his career. The difference is the Broncos went out and made him better so he could win, plain and simple. Favre feels that the Pack are not doing that for him. It is a justifiable gripe. Would I want to see him go.....HELL NO.....but I understand his complaint.

Favre is in the top 5 easy!

I think its funny how we are seeing the best quarterback in the history of the NFL play, right now, and no one is relishing the opportunity. By all accounts, Peyton Manning is the sharpest, smartest, most gifted quarterback we have ever seen, and I gotta say, watching him play is a treat. Favre may have had that for about 3 seasons, but thats it. Montana has rings, Elway has mistique, Marino has stats, but when its all over, Manning will have the whole package.

Manning has a heck of a team for now. Let's see what happens when the rest of the team goes away? If it wasn't for Favre, the Packers last few years would have been as bad as the Viqueens.I say enjoy watching a legend while you can as this will be his last year.

So....your telling me its not true that alot of mediocre QB's out there couldnt be great with a great recieving core? Just the one and only Brett Favre huh. Yeah thats not biased. At no point in Brett Favres career could he hold Peyton Mannings jockstrap. And if you wanna start making the arguement that up until this point Manning didnt show up in big games than lets take a good look at about the last 10 years of Favres career. Really, his whole career but 1 year. It all started when his packers were double digit favorites in the superbowl and John Elway who you have slammed took it home. Elway shined, not Favre. And lets talk about 6 INT's against the Rams. And lets talk about Micheal "big time over rated" Vick coming into Lambeau and beating the packers. And lets talk about just 2 years ago when the vikings marched into Lambeau and took it too the packers after the packer swept the regular season. When is the last time Favre hoisted his team on his shoulders and took them home. Its been more likely that hes been the reason for losses than big game wins. And this is with teams going into the playoffs that alot of people thought could win the superbowl, and he choked bigger than life. There is nothing here that is opinion either. This all really did happen. I know shiner you probably only remember the game he played against the patriots, but all this other stuff did happen. Plain and simple, he was the QB of some highly skilled teams that fell waaaaay short of where they should have gone and he was the direct reason.

And yeah i would take Favre this year. Hes better than what the vikings have. But that isnt saying much because most teams have a QB better than what the vikings have. I dont see any viking fan saying any different.

And if you think im just some biased viking fan that just hates the pack and thats all there is too it, than you can think again. I think they've had some of the biggest choke job rediclulous losses in the hisory of the NFL. Atlanta was a joke. 41-donut even worse. I wont try too tell you any different. And this coming season if the packers dont sweep the vikes than something is really wrong because they have the better squad as of now.

James, it sounds like you have had that locked up inside for a long time......

......If you want to talk about the Falcons beating someone, let's talk about 1998....or maybe you've blocked that out of you mind. I believe the loss you are referring to was in the regular season, I believe the one I was talking about was the NFC Championship.....oh well, I'm off track we are talking about Favre.

As far as the Vikqueens "marching" into Lambeau and taking it to us, that happens almost every year, then we turn around and take one in the Metrodome.....or one team sweeps the other......if that didn't happen, it wouldn't be a rivalry and it wouldn't be wasting my time right now. (Actually not a waste of time, cause this is fun grin.gif)

You (Vikings) should have beat us this year....but you didn't....even in the Metrodome....do you think that was because of our amazingly talented team? No, it was because of Brett....he is a leader and IS one of the best QB's of all time.....I don't knock Peyton, never have never will....the only reason I call Elway a "horse toothed J*#ka&s" is because I lived in CO for a few years and those fans are unbelievable and it gets them going (like it did you)........more later.

GO PACK GO!

That wasn't the Falcons beating the Vikings. That was Anderson missing a FG to lose the game.

shiner2367.....straight from nfl.....michael vick The 22-year-old improvisational genius led the Atlanta Falcons to a shocking 27-7 upset of the Packers in a wild-card playoff before a record crowd of 65,358 stunned souls.

"We were underdogs. We wanted to show 'em we had the potential to come out and make history," Vick said after his first NFL playoff game.

The Packers (12-5) were the only team to go unbeaten at home during the regular season. And they had never lost a home playoff game since the NFL instituted a postseason in 1933 in going 13-0 -- 11 of the victories coming at Lambeau and two more in Milwaukee.

"That's what we were talking about all week, the winning streak in the playoffs. It had to come to an end," Vick said.

The closest the Packers had come to losing in the land of Lombardi was on New Year's Eve 1967, when Bart Starr knifed into the end zone with 13 seconds left to give Green Bay a 21-17 victory against Dallas in the coldest game in NFL history.

That falcons game was a turning point for me. I was as big of a viking fan as one could be, then they choked. I just started to getting back into them again, then they played the giants a couple years later, I dont even have a coment for that one. Im still a fan, but I think they will need to win a super bowl to get me to be the fan I was.

Ok back on the main topic....

Favre I think in the day brett was the best qb in the game, for a couple years. He would force things to happen, and throw some interceptions, but if you dont take risks you will not get anywhere. More times then not favre would come from behind and make the game interesting anyhow..

But.. That was a few years ago, he is at best now a good back up, or mentor for a rookie starter. To use his gift he has now, he should be on the sidelines teaching the rookie qb how to play. But his ego wont allow that. So I would give him the boot.

I've said this before. Darn near half his TD's in his good ole days were play action TE pretends to fall over Defense overplays the run Farve throws to a wide open uncovered sneaky TE. (MY sister could make that throw)

And his "greatest, guttiest, best MNF game ever" after his dad's passing. He played horrible, all his throws were way off mark. But, his "so called" mediocre recievers made unbelievable plays.

And I think Farve would be a horrible teacher to a rookie. His best asset is his rocket cannon arm. Which by the way he'd average 40 int's a year if DB's could catch like WR's. I've seen so many DB's that can't handle the fastball its rediculous. To sum it up, Farve has padded stats and is way over-rated, as well as lucky on many occasions.

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .  
    • SkunkedAgain
      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st
