Team Brett Favre Doing Damage Control
Clarionledger - So, I was talking to Bus Cook, sports agent of the stars, today about one of his clients, Antonio Johnson, the starting defensive tackle for the Indianapolis Colts. And I asked Bus about the health of his most famous client Brett Favre. “Beat up,” Bus answered. “You should see the photos of his ankle and his hamstring the day after the game.” I said I’d like to do just that. Cook emailed them. Brace yourself. For all those who have criticized Favre for throwing instead of running on that last play against the Saints, check out Brett’s left ankle and his right hamstring. That he even finished the game is testament to why he is football’s all-time iron man, the toughest football player I’ve ever seen.Now I ask you: How many guys would have played with that?
Oh poor Brett Favre. Boo Hoo! Boo Hoo! He had a sprained ankle and a bruised thigh. Why don’t we just cancel the Superbowl and have a big pity party for him instead. Listen I pulled my hamstring in North Shore League baseball and my entire leg turned black and I didn’t miss a single game. Just yesterday I had an alien ripped out of my mouth with no pain meds. You didn’t see me sending pictures to the local media looking for sympathy did you? Seriously give me a break with this shit. Hey newsflash, it’s football. I mean if getting demolished in the pocket was something to brag about then Stan Humpries would be a first ballot Hall of Famer. Bottomline is Favre was running fine the entire game. So no matter how he and his agent spin it this was just another example of Favre making a bonehead decision on the most important play of his season. Deal with it.
PS – I love how this reporter makes it seem like this story wasn’t Brett’s idea. Like his agent just stealthily took those pictures and sent them to him without Favre’s consent. It’s laughable. Favre probably made the reporter publish them at gunpoint.
I don’t think that is Brett Favre
i would like to see ElPres vs Brett Favre in an old fashion bar fight, my money would be on riding on Brett, now that is a fucking mortal lock
Maybe favre should’ve watched game film on the Saints instead of watching American Idol learning Pants on the Ground dances.
Oh his agent/publicist told him to sing pants on the ground in a team huddle because it would grab more cheap headlines?
what a whore
seriously black dude. seriously. you must stop taunting me with your overt lameness. might actually be the worst “comment” ever.
Brett Favre, the doctor called, he said he’s very sorry but unfortunately they will not be able to remove your vagina.
Morning Mark Price, you just love to watch me comment and then put in a lame comment afterwards, you sir are a dick rider, get off my nut sack omo.
anyways, these quotes from the situation, pretty much sums me up on BSS, stop living off of my hype
Everybody loves me, babies, dogs, ya know, hot girls, cougers. I just have unbelievable mass appeal
Everybody at the Shore definitely knows The Situation. As far as I know, everybody loves The Situation, and if you don’t love The Situation, I’m gonna make you love The Situation
If this was a pic of Brady EP would be crying about cheap shots and cue-ing the duckboats anyways because the Pat’s were the best team that just got cheated…Favre is a tough SOB whether you like his teams or not…just as much as I’m tired about hearing about Favre retires, now he’s back, now he’s retired, I’m tired of hearing you bitch about him every 5 seconds…let it go beaker
wow.
No question he is tough, but that could be anyone….
It’s amusing how obsessed you are with Brett. Everytime something comes out about the guy you just bash him to pieces. Its starting to just sound like jealousy. I know I know, jealous of what? that he throws game ending picks in the playoffs? But I mean you can’t really argue with those pics and try to say that he didnt give it his best effort.
No way that’s Favre…..Who and why would anyone take photos like that in his home? Nice try though Brett and Co.
It’s almost like waiting until the season is over to tell everyone that in week 5 Randy Moss separated a shoulder but played through it all year.
to not miss a game in the NFL as a QB is amazing – whether you like him or not, guy plays well through a lot – and if he does retire a part of you will miss watching him compete EP (if nothing else it eliminates a lot of whiny blogs for you)
dont worry ‘birdman’ no one would ever write an article about how physically tough Tom Brady is…complaining about not being protected in the pocket maybe but not toughness
Total bullshit! Those pics are not Farve. Oh and how many times is pres going to referance is gay herpes mouth growth today. I’d say 5.
Nobody si saying hes not tough, but the Point here is that you could probably find bruises like that on every single nfl player after a 16 game season. but Favre is the only one who needs to take pictures and send them to his agent so he can disperse them. Favre couldnt wait for the pictures to get out so that everyone would talk about how much of a warrior he is this week leading up to the superbowl
did anyone forget? its FOOTBALL! you get hurt..
that really his arm?
You have to look at these pictures while remembering injuries like this always look and feel much worse the day after the game. Sure it hurt like a bitch during the game, but that shits manageable. And to suggest the reason he made the pass was because of the injuries? Are you fucking kidding? I don’t care if he had a fractured femur, take a dive, gun the ball at a receiver’s feet, throw it out of bounds, throw the ball at the head of the other team’s mascot varsity blues style, or whatever. Do ANYTHING other than throw it across your body to the other side of the field in tough coverage when you have a chance to win the game with a field goal. I mean this is shit you learn in high school, never mind in your 100th year as an NFL QB.
But in Brett’s defense, you can’t blame the entire game on him. The Vikings had a severe case of fumblitis. 6 fumbles, 3 of which were lost. Then you could also blame the coach for calling a pass on that play when clearly running the ball is what he should have done. Overall its just a cooperative performance of pure shit. And if the Saints barely managed to hold on when the TO ratio was 5:1 in their favor……..they’re in for a shit storm next week against the colts.
Nobody can honestly question BrettFavre’s toughness. First, he’s been an NFL quarterback for 20 years. Second, he’s never missed a start. You gotta be at least HALFWAY tough to make it to the NFL, and another HALFWAY tough to play every game for 20 years. So, is that settled?
Now, the fact that he plays HURT and makes/is forced into poor decisions because of that is the real issue here. The guy’s arm was trashed last year. His leg and ankle were supposedly so shattered and bruised that he couldn’t run. But did he bench himself? NO! And why not, you ask? Because he’s BrettFavre. He plays through the pain. (Sometimes on Vicodin.) He’s an ironman. A true-blue gunslinger. The grizzled old vet that wills his team to victory. The media and fans created the monster that is BrettFavre, so now we collectively gotta live with the fallout. And that includes pictures of a body-double that some schmuck named ‘Bus’ claims is his clinet BrettFavre. News flash, Bus: BrettFavre retired. Fuck off.
EP – as long as they keep putting his chin out there, go ahead and take your shots at him, man!
If you are that fucking hurt you can’t run 4-6 yards to make it to the superbowl get the fuck out of the game-it’s one thing to play hurt and play well, it is another thing to play hurt and be detrimental to the team. Oh yeah, the best part: Tavarez picks that up with relative ease.
He used a fish eye lens for the second picture.
Classic.
almost as lame as a bloody sock…just sayin.
Not many of you twirps remember Steve Grogan, but I’ve never seen anyone take brutal hits like him and still bounce back up and get back in the huddle. His injury pics would have been labelled atrocity photos.
Clearly he is a zombie. Those are dead parts.
havent heard stan humphries’ name brought up in years. well done sir.

dare i say that is marion butts at the end of the clip?
WAAAAAAAAAAIT A SECOND.
“Like his agent just stealthily took those pictures…”
You mean his agent just SNEAKY took those pictures!!!
John Madden is at home right now with with a jar of mayonaise and tissues by his bedside with these pictures up on the teleprompter he stole on his way out of NBC while hes taking himself around the world
Losers email pictures of their injuries around for debates like this. Winners make the play and pick up their SB rings.
Amicus, are you retarded? Which one of those pictures looks like an arm?
Listen I hate Farve as much as the next guy. But wasn’t there just an article on here yesterday basically sucking Randy Moss’ cock for playing part of the season with a seperated shoulder?
[...] Favre was really banged up.. Photos [Barstool] Jamarcus Russell is a rich tool [BustedCoverage] The Worst Franchises is Professional Sports [...]
Look, al the Favre haters gotta STFUP. Granted, he likes the media drama of retiring and unretiring. But clearly he made the right call by playing again – look how great he was this year and probably will be next year. The fact is – the refs kinda gave the NFC championship to the Saints (prolly cuz of Katrina/New Orleans feel good story or just bad officiating) by calling a non interference play against the Vikings and missing a few obvious roughing the passer/late hits on Favre that most likely would have changed the outcome of the game. I’m convinved Brady would’ve rightfully gotten at least one call. The refs were out to lunch that day. Despite all of the Vikings’ mistakes (turnovers), the refs halped hand the game in a big way to the Saints. Viva la Favre, he deserves it.
