That is all that the sports people have been talking about since I got home in July! They always gotta spend the first five minutes (at least!) updating his status no matter if he's done anything or not. I used to watch a lot of sports television back when I lived in Little Rock, and now I'm honestly not sure how I stood it. It's more repetitive than the regular news!

I know what you mean, I'm sick and tired of hearing about stupid Brett Favre. But at least it's been finally announced that Green Bay worked out a trade with the New York Jets to trade him for conditional draft picks (the pick depends on how many snaps he takes and all sorts of garbage). As a result, the Jets plan to make him their starter and Kellen Clemons the back up while Chad Pennington gets traded or released. Hopefully this trade marks the end of this soap opera.

i'm sick of him too. he's a big crybaby. hopefully after today everyone will quit talking about him.

Hey biff, I wonder how your Green Bay fans in town are taking this news.

umm... i have Green Bay fans in town?

i always thought he was an alright guy till all of this happened. nobody can MAKE you retire, MORON.

excuses always kinda bug me though. if he woulda just said "i changed my mind" i would've had a lot more sympathy for him. all this "they pressured me into retiring" stuff is the biggest load of crap ever.

I remember something about a house that had a whole bunch of sports team stuff outside. Wasn't it the packers?

Maybe I'm going crazy.

Not that I've been following this story, but I can't see that guy's name without flashing back to There's Something About Mary -- "What about Brett ... Fav-ruh?"

He's so lucky, I only wish I could miss the entire thing. It's annoying this stupid story about Favre won't go away. And it's also funny how at his draft back in 1991 when Atlanta took him, the guy said "Brett Favor" instead. That's what I always think of usually.

Natey was all like... "don't be talkin bad about Saint Brett" & i was all like "if you were here you'd be sick of him too!"

If you think you're sick of hearing about him, try living in NY (or Wisconsin)

i can just imagine.

two words..Michael Phelps.

the way they go on and on, you'd think he was the only guy to ever win 12 gold medals or something!

well, he is.

at least Phelps hasn't whined & blamed people yet. that's the thing that bugged me about Favre. if he've just said "i changed my mind" he wouldn't have got on my nerves anywhere near as much as he did.

Phelps is chasing history at least, and hasn't been the big "headline news" for the entire year. Even with Favre in New York we find reasons to talk about him. He does or says anything and the media jumps on it to report it. In Phelps' case, he's representing the country and not just himself or a team. So it's a lot more important to the US hearing about the latest on Phelps and his chase for 8 Gold medals in one Olympics than it is to hear what Favre just did.

exactly!

plus, i just like his whole attitude. he's a real nice kid.
