lol! i know it's fun in a way to poke fun at him but in all honesty, i find myself completely conflicted. i long for the days of the old brett - before all of the BS came to light, before i realized that he's a fallible person, before the texts, before the trade, before all of it! i find it extremely sad watching him play. i think some people talked about what an exciting game it was & how much they enjoyed watching him last night but not me. i find it all very sad. at the same time, a little part of me enjoyed the hell outta the game, listening to my viking fan hubby say "time to choke again favre" 3 seconds before he threw INT #2, & even the boo's that rained down on him during the game. but just a small part. it's a sad way for him to finish his career.

Agreed. I found no pleasure in the fans booing the old man after the game as he hobbled off the field. I wasn't home for the start of the game but I wouldn't have minded it so much. They were just trying to mess with him then.

According to Tom Pelissero's twitter. Not getting surgery and currently wearing a walking boot. The streak finally ends?

Boy that is a tough one.
I think if it were up to him he would [strike] play[/strike] start the game. I think he is truly in love with his records :angel11: THE STREAK :angel11: being the top one.
If the team was 5-1 Childress would be more inclined to let him start the game but they are in a desperate need for a win.
My vote is they bench him. He comes back in a few weeks and is not effect the rest of the year. With the streak gone there is no desire on his part to return next year.

not really "fractures" per a Dr to Peter King...All or most q/b can play with those injuries, just need an injection and need high pain tolerance

So Brett will play

It makes no sense.

1. What Dr who has diagnosed the injury would be speaking to a reporter without the patient's permission?
2. What Dr would be talking to a reporter about an injury without seeing the the patient/xray film and so on? He can't make an assumption without any of the facts.

Yeah, but since he can't move, I guess we can start calling him Pinata. I thought it was sad watching Marino limp around for two years, committing a false start on every play.

Do you think Favre is even considering his old age and mobility?

After speaking with a top NFL team orthopedist, SI.com's Peter King doesn't believe Brett Favre's ankle injury will keep him out of this week's game.

We have to take the doctor's opinion with a grain of salt as he hasn't examined Favre, but he called the diagnosis of two ankle fractures "extremely misleading." It's essentially a "glorified ankle sprain," and most NFL quarterbacks would play with the injury in a must-win playoff scenario.

King believes Favre can play Sunday if he's willing to play "medicated and/or with pain." Favre is sure to push to play. We'll have to wait to find out if coach Brad Childress wants to wage a power struggle.

Might have been reason for the one comment?

We will play it safe? or use caution?

Brad Jones, the man that shot Ole Yellar. I hope all the Favrebillies don't lynch the guy.

How about.....let Favre take the 1st snap of all the remaining games, then sit him.
The streak stays alive, he won't throw anymore INT's, and "Ol' Yeller" (from Dakota) gets his streak up to 300 games.

I didn't doubt your read this LT. I just wonder how a Dr could comment without seeing the the patient or the file.

beast (6h) : Thanks dfosterf, I'm still kicking myself for last week, as I forgot to change to pick Vikings and Lions... after putting in a holding spot.

Zero2Cool (7h) : First alternate: Elgton Jenkins Other alternates: Jordan Love, Kenny Clark, Keisean Nixon, Tucker Kraft, Josh Myers, Jaire Alexander

Zero2Cool (7h) : Pro Bowl still a thing? Guess Packers have three. Jacobs, Gary, McKinney.

dfosterf (7h) : It's a mine field with all the players sitting, etc

dfosterf (7h) : There was quite a bit of "chalk" matchups this year it seemed, but not this week coming up

Zero2Cool (8h) : Or we got better and by we I mean everyone except me

Zero2Cool (8h) : We have about six that by percent would have won nearly any season. I guess 2024 was predictable 🤷

Zero2Cool (8h) : You can check previous seasons. I quick did it and don't think anyone hit 70% before

dfosterf (8h) : Hats off to the Beast

dfosterf (8h) : I'm at 71.76% in pick 'em. 2nd place. Beast is at a flat 75% 9 games ahead. That 75% has got to be unprecedented this late in the season

beast (8h) : I don't care deeply, just want some good entertaining games

Zero2Cool (8h) : BTW, not serious.

Zero2Cool (9h) : You don't care about it either!!!!

Zero2Cool (9h) : NIL and Portal killed college, no one cares about it.

Mucky Tundra (13h) : outside of Texas-Arizona St, it's been a snoozefest

beast (18h) : I expect Georgia will change that tomorrow, but we'll have to wait and see. If they do, then only Big 10 and SEC are left.

beast (18h) : So much for Conference Championship meaning something as 100% (so far) of the conference Champions lost their first playoff game.

Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Jaire had surgery, season over.

Mucky Tundra (1-Jan) : I guess I need a new sig Pic. Boo

Mucky Tundra (1-Jan) : Eric Dickerson approves of this decision

beast (1-Jan) : Eagles are resting RB Saquon Barkley, so there is no chance he breaks the record despite being just 101 yards from it

Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Patriots are waiving veteran pass rusher Yannick Ngakoue

beast (1-Jan) : Happy New Year's 🥳🎉

beast (31-Dec) : I want to them chant some songs for Daniel Whelan

beast (31-Dec) : Let's win one! Also, hopefully the Irish will stand with Daniel Whelan

Mucky Tundra (31-Dec) : After London and Brazil, I could go without an overseas game for a while

Zero2Cool (31-Dec) : Packers. Steelers. Ireland. 2025. Reports say.

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Matt Lafleur on if Jaire will play again this season. "Yeah I don't know... he's been dealing with swelling."

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : After the way they played for most of the game yesterday, I don't see how you can sit anyone for the whole game

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : I'd say play everyone. Going into playoffs at 7th seed on two game lose streak - yucky

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Do the Packers have any best players?

beast (30-Dec) : Play or Rest*

beast (30-Dec) : Should the Packers play or free their best players vs the Bears?

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Packers should be 3 - 2 in the Division. Bonkers being swept by both Lions and Vikings. yikes

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : All crazy stuff…and good point beast

beast (30-Dec) : Packers should be 0-5 in the division, can't say I saw that coming, even 1-4

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Sam Darnold 35 TD's ... another one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Baker Mayfield, 39 TD's ... can't say I saw that one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : No matter who is playing as 7th, I think we want them to win. Get rid of 2nd seed haha

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : That would be dhazer who was rooting for Minnesota

beast (30-Dec) : Well, Commanders are currently the 6th seed and Packers the 7th

beast (30-Dec) : Who was it in Chat, that wanted the Vikings to win (because Lions fans upset them) because Packers could not lose the 6th seed?

beast (30-Dec) : If Falcons win, Packers stay as the 6th seed and Falcons lead the NFCS, if they lose, Commanders 6th and Bucs take NFCS lead

beast (30-Dec) : Win or Loss, the NFCS is going down to week 18

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : if the Falcons win, how does that affect the overall NFC playoff picture? Does it mean that the NFC South comes down to week 18?

beast (30-Dec) : If Commanders win, the Packers drop to the 7th seed

beast (29-Dec) : Taylor still at it!

beast (29-Dec) : Colts get the ball and fumble turn over

packerfanoutwest (29-Dec) : Jets pull Aaron Rodgers for Tyrod Taylor

Mucky Tundra (29-Dec) : Colts-Giants now a tight one
