The Real Brett Favre is BACK! And He’s Been Quietly Destroying His Team From Within for Months
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — On a day the Vikings should have been celebrating clinching their second consecutive NFC North title, there instead was tension in the locker room following a lifeless 26-7 loss to the Carolina Panthers… Quarterback Brett Favre told reporters that coach Brad Childress wanted to remove him from the game in the third quarter. The Vikings (11-3) led 7-6 at the time and Favre made it clear although it might have been Childress’ wish for him to come out that no such thing was going to happen. Favre was clearly agitated by Childress’ request … “Yeah, there was a heated discussion, I guess you would call it… So I said, ‘I’m staying in the game, I’m playing.’ …I want to stay in and do whatever I can. Now, unfortunately, I didn’t do that, but that was my intention.”
And the follow up from PFT.com – Childress previously tried to pull Favre on two other occasions. Per ESPN, the first one came on October 5 against the Packers, after Favre audibled to a long pass late in a game that the Vikings led by 10 points with 3:27 to play… Favre had changed the play at the line in order to further “stick it” to Green Bay G.M. Ted Thompson… Then, on November 15, Childress tried to do it again early in a 27-10 win over the Lions. On the prior two occasions, Favre didn’t say anything about it to he media. This time, however, he popped off — and that apparently caused Chilly to blow a gasket… when Childress learned about Favre’s comments [he] emerged from the office “like a wild man” and “went ballistic.”
Now I know exactly how Ralphie Parker felt when he went behind the tree and found the Red Ryder Carbine Action BB Gun there. All season long I’ve been asking for the wheels to come off Brettfavre and for him to return to his old useless, selfish, team-destroying, narcissistic self, and just when I was beginning to think maybe I might not get my wish, the Mississippi Riverboat Gambler comes through at last. It’s a Christmas miracle. For all the years we’ve been listening to the national pundits lining up to join in on the BrettFavre rainbow party, this has been the worst year of all. Because for the first time in years he came into the season fully motivated. Granted, the motivation was entirely about himself and his personal vendetta against the Packers, but it was translating into performance and wins. And as the wins piled up, it was getting harder and harder to tell people “just wait, he’ll revert back to form soon enough.” But finally he has. Because that’s what’s going to happen any time you whore out an entire organization to satisfy one man’s bizarre, irrational need for revenge. You’re going to end up with an uncontrollable maniac who doesn’t care a good goddamned what’s in the best interest of his team. He’s going to tell you to stick it up your ass and go back there on the field to throw interceptions while the announcers fall all over themselves to tell us how much fun he’s havin’ doing so. Hey, Brad Childress, just be glad you didn’t name your kid after the guy like his last coach did. Unless you actually have, which wouldn’t surprise anybody.

Why does the rest of the world not like the patriots? Why is everyone against us? Brady is the best quarterback and Bellichick is a genius why wont others recognize this and talk about how great they are? Bellichick needs more respect and everyone should know they are the Dynasty!
glad to see you’re staying on topic casey tatum
Brett Favre should die of gonorrhea and rot in hell. Would you like a cookie?
Everyone knows you can only “stay in the game” when your team is up by 28-30 points in the 4th quarter so you can get some records set.
He also owes an apology to the fantasy owners who started him on Sunday. Thanks a lot Brett!
Jerry should have posted a link to the Brett Favre Boogie dance/song instead…

like my Dad used to say “Shi floats to the top”!
I thought it was “$hit flows down-hill”
Hey Casey, I have a serious question for you. This being the internet and all, we anonymous posters can pretend to be anyone we want, smokeshow banger, millionaire, high stakes gambler, etc. So, with all thes countless personas to choose from, why did you choose douchebag?
you gotta be dancin’ you gotta be smilin’ you gotta be shakin’ that ass!
That pick in the endzone against the Panthers… now *that’s* the BrettFavre we’ve been waiting for.
There is no doubt the Vikings’ season will end with a BrettFavre interception that would be a stupid pass by any other QB, but is just a gunslinger trying to make a play when it’s #4.
For the Patriots haters:
1) Favre is 40 years old
2) His arm injury basically ended the Jets’ playoff chances when he was their QB
3) He was getting killed all game by the Carolina rush and was at risk
But don’t let the facts get in the way of your argument.
Somewhere, Peter King is blaming Bill Belichick for this.
Favre has suffered more concussions than he can remember, so he’s basically retarded at this point.
he isn’t retarded, he is just drunk and high on painkillers
Ah yes…..I can sleep easy now.
Tatum- you and 5mm should hook up sometime. You can both talk about how miserable you are and how you really are scared that the Pats are about to go on a 6-0 run
So Jerry, are you saying the 11-3 Vikings are better off with Javarius Jackson as their QB? Moron.
Piratesalsa has exposed his own moronity. Jerry is saying BrettFavre is a selfish a-hole. And that since Favre is the real difference-maker for the Vikings this year, he should be pulled from a relatively meaningless game to make the best playoff run possible.
Instead, BrettFavre played largely to satisfy his own ego, they still got crushed, and he didn’t even improve his own stats very much. Had Favre gotten seriously injured, Jerry’s point would be obvious. As-is, it requires a small amount of intelligence to comprehend.
BOSTONBRUINSHOCKEY – relax, relax.
Pats will win a pretty crappy division and after that anything can happen.
To think any other team contending team is worried, well, that would most likely be a bit of an over-statement.
people in Minnesota were so happy that Brett picked the Vikings. They thought he went there cause he wanted 1 more chance at a superbowl…… all Brett wanted was to be in the limelight and stick it to the packers. He is the most self centered athlete EVER, even more than A-Rod. He used the Vikings like the sluts used Tiger, just a way to get in the limelight.
Mortal lock of the year- Favre will be brutal in the playoffs, they might win a game cause of the D and Peterson but they will not make the Super Bowl- Favre will blow a game. He is the playoff equivalent of Jake Delhome
Belichick4pres – “Favre will blow a game. He is the playoff equivalent of Jake Delhome”
You finally got something right.
good job.
