Not to mention, are refs allowed to help up players?

I saw that. Earlier in the game, I also saw a ref help Favre straighten out his uniform when his shoulder pad was sticking out. I had never seen a ref do that before either. It was a real love-fest out there.

love fest on the field AND (as usual) from gruden & jaws in the booth! they need to come up with some new material because the "wiley veteran", "the legend", the "master" favre crap got REAL old!!!

Normally, I'm not too bothered about them talking about Favre, and I wasn't that bothered this time, but Gruden is really taking it to extremes. Even when the Vikes where on defense, he was mostly talking about Favre.

As for the non-call. Rules should be rules, but I'm pretty sure that this gets missed more often. No one reall cares when QBs spike the ball. Just because it's Brett, though, everyone wants to make a big deal out of this, it seems.

They always love-fest on Favre, during Favre games or not. It comes with the territory. Deal with it or hit the mute.

As far as the 'penality'.. Non-calls happen all the time during games. They pretty much balance each-other out.

You're kidding, right?

I've seen refs do this stuff. And not always to Brett, either. BTW, refs aren't robots. Just to let you know.

I think it's pretty safe to say that the head official doesn't stand next to every QB and pick him up off the ground every time he goes down. It's funny more than anything.

No, I'm not kidding. I can't recall ever seeing that. It seems like something I would've remembered had I seen it.

How often do you see this happen?

I see it RARELY here or there, but usually there are no other players around and he is asking for help to the official. What I saw is Brett, with a viking already helping, getting helped up by an official.

There were only 2 QBs I remember who played in their 40s - George Blanda and Vinny Greenballs. I'm too young to remember Blanda. You'd have to ask Vinny if a ref ever helped him up.

If I were a ref and there was a player on the ground with more gray hair than I've got, I'd help him up too.

What I saw in the replay (when Brett spiked it) was the ref blowing the whistle behind him and then he spiked it. then the ref tried to suddenly close his eyes so he didn't see the spike.

We just have to get used to it. There will never be a penalty called on Brett Favre.

Yes......it's obvious "he" gets special privilidges.
I think i saw the one ref reach down Brett's pants, and straighten out his jock for him.

lol

The hate on the treatment of Favre is hilarious. You guys.. Favre getting this 'special' treatment has been pretty much the same since his Super Bowl/MVP years with your team.

Now the shoe's on the other foot, you see.

As far as how many times I've seen a ref help up a player.. I can honestly say about a handful of times (not including last night, because I missed all but maybe a quarter, due to work).
