It's Brett, Bitch
He wants to give you NFL fans more, more, more!
League bosses have confirmed that Brett Favre has sent his reinstatement paperwork to the NFL and is awaiting approval from commissioner Roger Goodell.
According to reports, once Favre is granted reinstatement the, Packers would have 24 hours to release the quarterback or return him to their active roster.
If Goodell reinstates Favre today, Wednesday, his return to the practice field for the Cheeseheads would most likely come Friday.
Green Bay coach Mike McCarthy said on Tuesday, "It's obviously the first step in Brett coming back, but we'll deal with that when Brett is reinstated and have a plan for that when he comes back."
The source goes on to report that the team has no plans to grant Favre the release he has requested, suspecting that he would immediately sign with division rival Minnesota. The Packers own Favre's rights until his contract expires after the 2010 season, making a trade the most likely outcome acceptable to both Favre and the Packers.
Sign with a rival?
Scandalous!
What say you Cheeseheads?
Maybe Brett's just doing this for the money?????
His peak playing days are definitely behind him!

She's A Filthy Liar!
A Worthwhile Cause
He is a jackoff who should stay retired. It is about the money and his HUGE ego!!
First
FIRSST YESS
first!!!! yay
Brett is one of the best players to hit the field…he has plenty of career ahead of him. The Packers have made a huge mistake in not taking him back as their first-string quarterback and he deserves to be able to go to any team he wants so we can keep seeing this great talent!
i love brett no matter where he plays, bring him to ny!
FIRST! WHO CARES!
second…
favre is gay
Brett Favre's playing days are behind him???? last year was his best year ever, just stick to writing blogs and stay out of the sporting world.. FOUR MORE YEARS… BUSH/CHENEY 2008 !!!
I know why he's doing it… There was a great Real Sports episode on HBO a while back that had to do with NFL players after they retire. Many of them go off the deep end and become depressed and then ultimately turn to violence and drugs to satisfy their aggression that was always able to be satisfied on the football field. I truly believe that because he played for so many years, and really only knows his identity as a football player, now that he "retired" he doesn't know what to do with himself at home. Is sounds as though he may be following in the footsteps of the other former NFL players that were on that episode of Real Sports. It's a shame, actually.
Actually, if i'm not mistaken, last season was one of his best seasons….
Green Bay will resign him, they'd be crazy not to.
Phatrez
Cheesehead cause thats what people from Wisconsin are called.
You guys are all a bunch of fucktards. Brett's been in the league longer than fifteen years. He doesn't need the money! He's got endorsement money and contract money flowing in from all over. He lives on a fucking ranch in Mississippi, not in some mansion on the lake by Shaq and Tiger. Lay off, the man plays ball and he plays it well.
Give him some respect. After this long, with multiple MVPs under his belt, he deserves at least that!
And PEREZ DON'T COVER SPORTS IF YOU DON'T KNOW YOUR SHIT!!!!!!
Jat, you have no idea what you are talking about?? About the money, the man has made over 100 million dollars, I am sure he will be okay. You need to stick to watching figure skating, and not say a word about a real man's sport.. Brett favre is a great guy, so suck one JAT !!
HE needs to let it GO already! He is too old, he has been lagging for the past few years, just go start up a kiddie football camp or something.
sports? …zzzzzzz who cares about the packers.
love love loved you on MTV Cribs!
hey perez - I LOVE TEDDY HILTON!
HE NEEDS TO RETIRE ALREADY DAMNIT , thanks
SIGN WITH THE BEARS, BRETT!
No way is it about the money, just like it wasn't about the money when MJ came back to basketball…twice. Favre loves the game and doesn't know what to do in the Fall if he wasn't playing. He wants one last swan song and the Pack should give it to them for his loyalty to them all these years.
It's not about the $$ for Brett… it's his love of the game. In the past he's lowered his salary so the Packers could sign better players. Having said that, he retired. Time to stay retired, Brett.
if you retire… stay retired. im from minnesota and the vikings dont want you.
We knew this yesterday……dont do sports, this brett farve yes or no crap has been going on for awhile
how many times did he pull this shit!!! he needs to stop playing games with the fans… and the nfl.
So disappointing
If the guy still wants to work, and someone wants to hire him, why not?
Hey Perez, maybe you should stop reporting on things you know nothing about, aka sports. Statistically, Brett actually had one of his best years last year… which is why the Packers don't want to release him, if he goes to the Vikings they're easily contenders for the playoffs and maybe even the superbowl. Stick to things you know about or at least fire whoever is giving you this sports news.
i think he just loves the game…
Best to stay out of sports P. He had one of his best years last season and still has one of the best arms in the NFL. Best soap opera in decades - at least since Santa Barbara.
we wants to sign with a REAL rival, the bears could use a qb
PEREZ IS SPEAKING LIKE A TRUE QUEER WHO DOESN'T KNOW SHIT ABOUT SPORTS!
minnesota doesn't want farve! he's a tool!
What's wrong with Dina Hohan's legs??? They're all spotted up "like a lepra"!!
Brett Favre is Wisconsin's Jesus, he can do no wrong.
Good for Farve, the Packer's organization suxs
Don't do it Brett? Michael Jordan anyone?
You know he from Kiln, Mississippi, which is next door neighbors from Kentwood, LA.
Brett's career is overrr. The Packers have already moved on, they won't put him back as starter and they shouldn't. he should just finish while he's on top, he'll play like crap this season then retire and everyone will remember him for a losing season not a winning one!
this is one player that i truly believe that isn't in it for the money. i really believe he loves the game.
You idiot, last season was his best season in recent years. All the momentum is in his direction. You say such stupid things sometimes. If you don't know about something Perez, don't comment!
He's a GREAT quarterback & the packers are petty for not letting him go. If he's such a threat why not let him start?!? If he's not - the let him go!!!
I hope he does go to the Vikings!!!
Perez please stick to what you know. LIke sticking up for those 2 skanks: Caved-In Face Madonna and the talentless whore Paris
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
I don't like ball/playerz
they think their cockz
r make of gold….cockyfukz
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
hi perez i,m fifteen am i now a slut or a whore
Perez please stick to what you know. LIke sticking up for those 2 skanks: Caved-In Face Madonna and the talentless whore Paris. STOP PRETENDING TO BE A MAN…
Those who retired should stay retired. I don't care how good you are or think you still are…he chose to retire and that should be the finale.
I am so embarrassed for him…retire for God's sake. If he really cared about the team and the fans he would retire and let them move on in a new direction. Get over yourself Brett!
perez get it right he plays for the green bay packers not the fudge packers
As a MN native and Viking's fan I pray that Brett remain a cheese head….we don't want him. If hell freezes over and he suits up in purple I have some season tickets I'd like to sell.
I am a Cowboy fan and love to hate Brett Favre. But, he led his team to the NFC Championship Game last year. He is at minimum the 6th best active quarterback in the league. He is by far the best quarterback on the Packers and they should be kissing his feet welcoming him back. Love ya, Perez, but don't spit on a legend just to do it. ScottBrooks.com
About the money?? It has NEVER been about the money with him. He has always been a class act up in Green Bay and never complained about his contract. He did his job, stayed out of trouble, and was one hell of a player. It's obvious that his love of the game has made it really hard for him to let go and retire. When you've done something all you're life, it's all you know, and it's pretty much who you become. His life has been about football since his early days and he still has that childlike passion/spirit on and off the field. I'm sure anyone would struggle with deciding to let go of a large part of their live, who they are, a thing that may be the only thing they've known, and is their passion. If it were about the money, he would started complaining a LONG time ago, and that's not what he's doing. All he wants is to continue playing football.
As a Packer fan, I'd be disappointed to see him go. But, he's lost the starting job to Rogers and the Packers have been very upfront about it. He wants to 'unretire' because of his love for the game - with all of his endorsements and football $, he sure isn't doing it for the $.
Anyone wanting to see a true sports hero, watch the game he played after his father died. He's got more character and heart for the game than anyone who's every played.
PS - Perez, stick to fashion & music…
Ya'll are all dumb as shit if you think Brett's football days are over. Keep in mind last season was one of his best seasons in his 17 year career. Suck on that, and I hope he becomes a Viking.
Favre had one of his best seasons ever last year. He was 3rd in line to get MVP this past year.
Also, MONEY? LOL. you F'ING Idiots! Brett Favre is one of the most humble players ever! He doesnt beat his wife, he doesnt smoke pot, he doesnt wear ridiculous jewlery. He loves the game.
Perezzers. This is totally not about the money. The guy just has an itch to play and made the wrong decision to retire earlier in March when he was somewhat pressured into making a decision whether to play or not. My man Vinny Testaverde played until he was what? 44? And he was still doin ok. Same with Warren Moon. Favre took Green Bay to the NFC championship game just last year, don't forget. He's 38. If he stays in good shape, he has another few good seasons left in him.
i dont care if brett stays in the NFL or not… but at least figure out if you're really 100 percent positive about retiring. don't retire, cry at your press conference and then 6 months later tell everyone that you want to come out of retirement. next time, figure your shit out before you "retire." thats just dumb.
Re: atl_p –
You're my boy! Brett had crazy stats last year. GO REPUBLICANS! I finally started making good money now Obama's going to kick my ass with his taxes!
Brett Favre is one of the best players ever in the history of football. I am a huge Green Bay Packers fan and I really think that the Packers should have let him come back and start for them. Brett has made the Packers who they are. He deserves to start!
……..I AM SECURE ENUFF IN MY MANHOOD TO SAY, "THAT IS ONE FINE GRADE-A SPECIMEN OF AMURICAN BEEFY SEX APPEAL!! "…….UH OH! I JEST PITCHED A WOODY TENT…….GOTTA GO!
Perez, you don't know WTF you are talking about. The Packers are making a HUGE mistake by not letting Brett back. He's only got a couple more years left, those rookie qbs can wait. Brett is a legend and worked hard to bring the GB name back since the Lombardi days. I will love Brett no matter where he plays, I am just ticked that he likely will not end his career in GB. Rogers will have a crud year and they will be kicking themselves in the ass for not taking Brett back.
its not at all about the money. brett loves the game. this situation is unfortunate because the packers want to move on. they are actively trying to prevent him from showing up at training camp and making a media mockery of this. if he gets reinstated they will be trading him.
hes better off retired its just a circus.
Brett Favre is a man of great integrity. It is my hope the Packers do the right thing and bring him back. As a life long Packer fan it would break my heart to see Brett Favre in another uniform.
Perez stick to Hollywood… you know nothing about football.
here is cheesehead land people are getting a little tired of his-highness. he's falling out of favor a little - the local talk is not favorable. if he goes to the vikings that'll probably be the last straw. the man shouldn't have waffled like that. fans don't like it.
Re: paul – u r third Paul, but u can be first to ram your stiif cock in my tight lil ass-cunt, u know u want 2…….dont worry baby i will swallow all of your cum
He's obviously not doing this for the money so if you don't know what you're talking about you shouldn't be making comments. He's never been one of those players that is in it for the money or who has tried to renegotiate his contract. The Packer organization has screwed this up so badly its embarrassing. If they don't think he's good enough to be their starting QB or even compete for the job why would they care if he went to the Vikings. They only play them twice during the regular season so at worst they could lose 2 games to them. He deserves respect from them and has earned it.
I can't imagine that he NEEDS the money, but he wouldn't be the first wealthy person who WANTED as much as he could get. Then again, maybe he's bored without football, and doesn't have any other talent.
BRETT FAVRE IS AN IDIOT! He wants to cause all this drama…I think it must be a midlife crisis or something…GET OVER YOURSELF BRETT!
As sick as I am of hearing about this, it does make a great soap opera. Besides… was there THIS much drama when Michael Jordan came out of retirement, what was it 10 TIMES? lol
Re: Mamma –
lMJ? he still came back and was one of the top 5 playesr and avertaged over 20 pts a game with the Wizards!
Stop the dumb sports news! We want chicks with big boobs and gays guys who make fun of them. Its funny.
Green Bay has a population just slightly over 100,000 — if he's huge in the NFL, he's GIANT in the eyes of the "small town" fans that have supported him for so long. As any resident of Green Bay will be able to tell you, he's treated like royalty there. It's fine to retire, it's fine to un-retire, I just think that he could be handling the whole situation with a lot more class than he is. All he needs to do is talk to the people — to tell them why he's doing what he's doing — otherwise it just seems very dramatic and very shady. So sad for someone so talented and respected to be acting in this way. Unfortunately, it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone who has witnessed his yearly "I'm going to retire — wait, no I'm not!" shennanegans.
come on perez.. do a little research next time you post something like this. over the past couple years, brett favre broke every notable quarterback record the nfl has listed. he just brought his team the closest they have been to the super bowl in the past decade. he deserves every dollar he has ever made. i have met brett favre, and will meet him again this sunday if he shows to training camp. and he has absolutely no ego at all. he's a great guy.
As a Wisconsin resident, I have to admit I was actually looking forward to a season without Brett Favre. Don't get me wrong, he's an amazing player and we were very lucky to have him. However, the media up here is ridiculous. . .it's like there is NOTHING else happening in the world except Brett Favre and the Packers. "Brett Favre Likes Bannanas", "Brett Favre Goes to the Park",. . .I swear nuclear warfare could break out and people in Wisconsin would never even know it because the news stations and papers think it's more important that we know what Brett Favre's favorite color is.
PLEASE!!!…SIGN WITH THE RAMS!!!…THEY NEED A GOOD QB!
He should have waited a couple months before deciding whether or not to retire. Everyone has had long, hard seasons (at whatever sport) and they feel exhausted at the end of them. Making a decision when u feel like that usually results in retirement.
Perez, wtf are you talking about. The guy's last two seasons were pretty good and he can still play. His arm strength is just as good as ever…so again, wtf are you talking about.
if he comes to MN then we'll actually have decent QB for once…GO VIKES!!
How disappointing. I was a fan of Brett's, not necessarily a Green Bay fan, but a fan of his…he seemed to be one of the good guys who loved the game and loved being a Packer. How sad to discover that's not the case at all. When you retire - understand what that means - and stay retired. He was a class act who is now taking the low road.
The NFL should be renamed The Brett Favre League.
If he goes and plays for another team, that goes against everything he's been about for the last 16 years! I do believe that last season was one of the best for the packers, i was at both playoff games and he definitely disappointed the fans, but he is still a great player! I would hate to see him go play for another team… JUST LET HIM BE FIRST STRING!!
I'm a true Cheesehead, born and raised in Wisconsin, and I can say as much as Farve is revered and adored we fans are seriously disappointed in his latest actions. He always claimed that he put his heart and soul into the game for his team and fans but apparently it is ego and moolah that has motivated him.
The Packer fans feel embarassed for Farve - he should have gone out with dignity and the respect he deserves for his stellar career, not pathetically try to stay in the game.
The best thing about Favre is that it's never been about the money. Hands down, Brett is one of the best players to hit the field…he has plenty of career ahead of him. The Packers have made a huge mistake in not taking him back as their first-string quarterback and he deserves to be able to go to any team he wants so we can keep seeing this great talent!
ya right perez….like u know about sports…. -.-
I don't think it's about money…it's all about EGO!! I honestly don't think Brett can live without the public adulation…it's sad really. All he's doing is pissing off Packers fans (I'm one of them) and tarnishing his legacy.
Brett, you were a great player. Maybe you could still be, but Wisconsin's already said our goodbyes…
best days behind him? he had one of the best seasons of his life last year and was one game away from the Super Bowl. He has never been about the money, just playing. He has actually given back a large portion of his salary in the past years so that the team could pay other players more. Get your facts straight!!!!!!!
Perez, stop trying to pretend like you know anything about sports…or anything else for that matter. You're so dumb.
i grew up a packer fan and living in this state thats normal but this is sad people from other areas dont understand the whole favre thing, he has been doin this shit for like i think 4 years now every year we have to wait untill training camp to hear if he is comin back. the packers and the fans have been getting played by this guy for a while and you know what he still can play and he is one of the greatest to ever play football, but just cuz of that we should let him do everything he wants to do. most people even some in wisconsin have forgot that 2 years ago everybody was wishin for him to leave. he sucked for like 3 to 4 years striaght. i know they will say its because of the lack of talent around him but he still did not play well, why does this guy always get a pass, was on drugs(pass), hardcore partier(pass), throws more int's then anyone in the history of the game(pass), Acts like a child on and off the field(pass), leaves and then its the packers falt, from the media outside of wisconsin(pass).
this is bull shit
o yea and he threw the game against the gaints last year, and he had talent(forgotin)
cried on tv about he leaving, and talked to the gm ——3 days later—— (forgotin)
we have a reallllly solid guy with arron he is young but give him time and i think he will be pretty good, the only issue is can he stay in the game( i know brett can) thats arrons only ? mark
brett screwed it up for himself and now he wants the packers to pay for it
he needs to be a man and take responsiblity for his mess.
Why do atheletes retire just to turn around a few months later and renige? I suspect collosal ego is to blame. After his embarrassing performance against the Giants (at home no less), you'd think he would want to go away. If he comes back, I suspect he'll suck.
You definitely have no idea what you're talking about. He had an amazing season last year. The argument would be for him to retire so he will go out on top.
Re: drew – I totally agree (should have read your comment before writing mine - you hit the nail right on the head).
Perez…I normally agree with most of what you say, but…his peak playing days are not behind him. Did you see his numbers from last year?
his peak days r behind him eh? this coming from a fat-ass who probally hasnt played a contact sport in life.
after living in green bay for 4 years and hating the packers i would love nothing more than for brett to play for someone else.. it would be hilarious
Re: Jat – Jat, SHUT UP! You have no clue what you're talking about!! He is NFL football! GO BRETT!!!
I'm from Minnesota & a Vikings fan……I would LOVE to see Brett come on over to play for us….Imagine him walking onto the field at the Dome in a purple jersey!!! And with Andre Peterson helping him we would finally, possibly, maybe? win a Superbowl…I hope the Packers release him & he comes to MN
his peak playing days are behind him?! REALLY?! i love you perez… but stick to the celebrity gossip and not sporting analysis please, cause you clearly have no idea what you are talking about. brett is one of the best to ever play the game, and had one of his best seasons last year. the guy still has it, and could definitely still be successful. don't say things you can't back up perez! BRING BRETT BACK
I love how Perez now reports news a day late. Moron. And you should keep off the topic of sports. The only sport you know is Gay Rodeo.
perez you're a moran if you dont know anything about a subject (ie, sports), don't speak.
He had a wonderful season last year!! What the hell are you talking about?????????????????????
Re: bmurr –
You're totally right, bmurr. While I dislike people who announce their retirement and immediately make a comeback, Favre was still at the top of his game last season. He probably should have never retired. In fact, Tom Brady, Tony Romo, Peyton Manning, and Brett Favre were the best quarterbacks in the league last season.
Perez, you know nothing about football. Stick to commenting on Cristiano Ronaldo's fake tan and Beckham's Armani ads, you tool.
