Sad Day for Cheeseheads

Filed under: Zportz

abrettfavre.jpg

We bet Wisconsin is at a standstill….

After 17 years (!) in the NFL, legendary quarterback, Brett Favre, is retiring from the game.

According to Fox Sports, who broke the story Tuesday morning, Favre leaves the game as the all-time record holder in several categories including wins, passing yards, touchdowns and consecutive games started. A three-time MVP, the southern swashbuckler won fans over with his carefree style.

Brett Favre, his people and the Green Bay Packers have yet to confirm Fox's report.

We've always liked Mr. Favre. He'll always be Cameron Diaz's hot ex-boyfriend in There's Something About Mary to us!

Thankfully there's another Favre in the NFL to keep the family name alive!

Update: It's confirmed.

He's outta there!

    Re: jobabe – You're an idiot. And a disrespectful piece of crap. You're probably fat and ugly with no friends, which is why you posted comments like 5 times. I hope you get run over by a truck after all the nasty things you said. Seriously, get a life and some maturity.

    LMAO i just read his statement on why he was quitting - cuz of the "stress" ??!! what? claims that every week you have to study the charts and such more and more - physically he was up to it, but not mentally ??!! ROTF what a hack! not mentally? r u kidding me? he's been doing this for years - should be 2nd nature to him mentally!! The body would go first…but mentally he couldn't deal with it anymore??!! LOL

    what's so stressful? doing your FUCKING JOB??? earning your pay and giving your fans 100% every time u come on the field- getting paid the amt u get paid??? awwwww….poor baby.. he wants to play but doesn't want to participate in team mtgs and the like??? someone's on an ego trip!

    and his mgr saying that he felt the team didn't want him anymore?? wtf? does he expect the god damn team to bow down to him every friggin time he walks into the locker room/mtgs/ or whatever?? give me a break…like he's the end all of be all for the team? like the team needs HIM? ahem - i think it's the other way around bretty boy!!!

    i knew i didn't like the guy - put a brat in it brett and head south already….GOOD RIDENS!!!

    singing to amy whinehouse tune "the fans wanted you to stay in green bay but the pack said NO NO NO*

    BAHAHAWAHAHAHAH!!

    below is a post from someone commenting on New York Time's article on your boy brett' retirement - it says it all ppl - says it all…

    "I’m glad he is retiring..at least I dont have to hear “He’s just having fun out there…” anymore. What successful NFL QB isn’t “just having fun out there”???
    Favre is no where near the greaest of all time- not even top 10. He did some great things for his team but he also did some very stupid things. You want to talk about bad decisions? Yes, he won games for his team but he also lost a ton of them too! Pick three of your top all time QB’s- did they make as many stupid throws as Favre did? No. He hurt his team more times than he should have.
    And what a fitting ending to his career: Make a bad decision and throw a terrible interception in OT in the Championship game!!
    Now retire."

    hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe

    Re: Die

    i speak the truth home slice - u can't handle it - which is why you retort to personal attacks - like a 2 yr old…u guys can rattle off how great he is..next best thing since the Lord himself - but holy ass shit - someone says something that you don't agree with and you wish death on them…LMAO!

    perhaps the truck that hits me will be driven by brett himself? LOL never know!

    great christian you are - great christian…

    and before you all start - i just wanted to see brett's neck snapped a little bit in a game - never wished death on him - so don't start …i have nothing to hide..

    the channels here have "farewell to favre" specials

    GAG ME!!!

    thank god for brandy 'n cokes!

    LMAO!

    Re: jobabe
    If Wisconsin is such a heinous place, why are you still living in Milwaukee? I think you'd make a fabulous FIB.

    Oh, and please get some help for your anger issues. Your incessant diarrhea of the mouth is such an embarrassment to the rest of Wisconsin.

  20. I Love Brett! says – reply to this


    220

    Re: jobabe – what is your point of dissing Brett? Do you think everyone on here is all of a sudden gonna think "oh jobabe is so right! I've loved brett favre for 17 years but this uneducated paragraph has changed my entire view on him." People like you that have to diss people with great talent are losers that were never good at sports or have no goals in their lives. Or you just have some mommy and daddy issues. Did they not hug you enough?

    Re: jobabe – Again, if the people of Wisconsin are all a bunch of fat, uneducated fools - why don't you move? Why would you stoop yourself so low as to live amongst such heathens? How can it be a great place to live amongst such widespread ignorance?

    Not only will I never be a Packers fan again, I doubt I'll ever watch football again. This is the worst thing ever. LOVE YOU, BRETT.

  30. Favre Forever says – reply to this


    230

    Last words- he was a legend, it is not up for argument. We (packer fans, wisconsin, the nfl) will miss him. Thanks Brett.

  31. Favre 4Ever says – reply to this


    231

    To say that I'm a huge Favre fan is an understatement - more people called/texted/emailed/Facebooked me on the day of the announcement than on my birthday. Words can't express how much I will miss watching Favre and his gunslinging on the football field (I can hardly remember the Packers without Favre at the QB position), but c'mon - the guy is almost 40 years old. After giving both the Packers and the NFL years of entertainment, I think he's entitled to hang up his cleats and go out on his terms. Brett, there will never be another one like you. Enjoy retirement and all that comes with it - time with your family, golf, and the riding lawn mower:)

    233

    First of all let me say iam a cowboys fan my dad has been a true cowboys fan since he was 8 and he is now in his 40s and he will fully admit that Brett is one of the best.qb in NFL history in a known fact no matter if your a green bay fan or not and trust me for a cowboys fan to have respect for the packers is a huge deal they are one of our biggest rivals but there no denying the packers are historicaly oneof the best teams and as a NFL fan there must be respect Brett is a legend

    234

    Your pathetic first of what do you have to show for your self ? Compared to Brett? What have you accomplished besides googling Brett to try and prove you lame point kinda sad if you ask me how you spend hours online commenting back talking crap and obssesing over Brett pretty lame no life I bet you researched his name trying to find anything negative bout him you are a nobody get over it ps I'm not a gb fan I'm from Texas and a cowboys fan but I have respect for any player in the league who is a good player
