Ian Gold is not Brett Favre

Found July 24, 2008 on Lombardi Ave:
PLAYERS: Brett Favre,  Ian Gold
TEAMS: Denver Broncos,  Green Bay Packers

Longtime Denver Broncos linebacker Ian Gold is retiring from the NFL, but before he leaves, he's got this to say: "When people here I'm retiring, they're going to be like, 'Ian who?.  But I'm all right with that," Gold said. "I've had some people say to me, 'You're retiring?', and they think it's crazy," Gold said.  "But it's not.  It's time to move on.  I'm not pulling a Brett Favre.  I'm getting out of the game with my health and my youth." C'mon Brett, how enticing does "health" and "youth" sound to you?  I'd take it…

  • the monsters of mile high wont be the same! although I understand Gold's reason for retiring and that he's smart to go out on top of his game I personally will miss him in denvers denfensive back field and wish him the best in what ever he does. He'll be great in what ever he does.

Prediction: Brett Will Be Jet

Via J-E-T Press  |  July 25, 2008
Here we go. The confirmation we've all been waiting for. This just out on ESPN and I'm predicting Brett Favre will be a New York Jet before the summer is over. If he comes here he will make the Jets an instant Super Bowl contender and no matter how many lousy NY Sports beat writers say it ain't happening the team will not dismiss this without exploring. The Packers would...

Favre Headed To The Jets?

Via NFL Mocks  |  July 25, 2008
Looks like the New York Jets might be the team most willingly to trade with the Packers for Brett Favre. This could make things really interesting to see if Favre will want to come out of retirement for a team that went 4-12 last season. The Jets have added some talent through the draft and [...]

MSM's Erroneous Reporting

Via Hugging Harold Reynolds  |  July 24, 2008
On Tuesday we cited a Milwaukee Sentinel-Journal report that Brett Favre had used his "Packers issued" cell phone to communicate (illegally) with the Minnesota Viking staff. Well shame on us for assuming the Sentinel-Journal was a legitimate source. Today, ESPN is reporting "Packers didn't give Favre team-issued cell phone" according to sources of the...

ESPN Has Officially Run Out Of Stuff To Talk About In Regards To Brett Favre

First Take decided to dust off the ESPN Photoshop Department (located in the janitor's closet behind Studio D) and put them to work on what Favre would look like in other team's uniforms.

Via Hugging Harold Reynolds  |  July 22, 2008

Brett Favre is…

Via Lombardi Ave  |  July 22, 2008
…Mr. Freeze. Or at least according to Adam Best in this week's The Best View. Mr. Freeze/Brett Favre - I'm starting to wonder if this guy would cryogenically freeze himself in order to keep playing forever. We know you love the Frozen Tundra, Brett, but you've gotta give it up eventually. He's on serious thin ice with NFL fans, and even quite a few Packers fans...
