Comparing Favre
Another tribute to Favre and comparing him with some of the All-Time greats , Elway, Unitas, Montana, Favre. Fair and balanced coverage of the Favre Retirement from anti-Farve and Favre fans alike.
Brett Favre's place in the Reckless Gunslinger Club
What to do, what to do? What does a gunslinger look forward to now in retirement land? Hanging with other blazing psychopaths, that's what.
Here's a look at the Reckless Gunslinger Club, an elite fraternity of manic shooters who let go first, didn't know what questions to ask later, and earned our love in the process.
Favre: The internet made me do it
I'm sure it's not a coincidence that the Packers website "accidentally" announced your retirement with a mysterious post that was only online for a few minutes, and then a few days later, you actually retired. You probably wanted to play one more year. Unfortunately, you have to do what the internet says. It's really too bad. Why don't you try to sneak back into the league as a different...
Favre retired? I'm not ready for this.
A tribute to my favorite athlete of all time. Things just aren't going to be the same now that he's gone. There really is a lot to be sad about. I run down my favorite memories and the things that I'm going to miss.
Brett Favre Sticks it to Kid
Remember that kid from CT that hadn't taken off his Favre jersey in over 4 years? Brett will be damned if he let that kid get the best of him.
John Madden: No Response Yet on Favre's Retirement
John Madden's job (and therefore Frank Caliendo's job) hangs in the balance following Brett Favre's retirement. Madden has stayed quiet on the issue, at least on his Myspace so far.
The latest comments on his Myspace are mostly just Thanks-for-adding-me's, but there was one about how he needs a, um, sexual friend, possibly in light of Favre's retirement.
An Ode to the Old Man
Brett Favre retires after 17 seasons and 253 games started at quarterback for the Green Bay Packers. Here's my view as a Chicago Bears fan.
Reminiscing about Brett Favre and other greats
We recognize there are many good arms and then there are a few great arms. Then there's Brett Favre, who holds a ton of NFL records, some of which will probably never be broken. Brett Favre is a freak of nature to have accomplished what he has at his age. And he can still do the job, or could, if he wanted to return to the game for another year...
Turning the page on Brett Favre
So many great things have been said about Brett Favre as he's decided to move on with his life and end his playing career. But as we look at his accomplishments, there are just some statistics that really stand out.
Sure we all know about his three consecutive MVP awards, 95-97, most wins by a starting quarterback with 160, the most passing touchdowns with 442, most career...
Retired? Yeah right.
I'll believe it when Aaron Rogers is under center for the Packers during Week 1.
The fact is, we've all heard this song and dance before. For years now we've heard Brett wax poetic about how mentally tired he is, how he just wants Randy Moss, how he'd come back if he knew he'd win a Super Bowl, yada, yada, yada, only for him to take the first snap of the Packers...
Packers QB - Next in Line?
Ok, where do the Green Bay Packers go now without Brett Favre at quarterback. The first in line at the starting job is obviously going to be Aaron Rodgers. Many NFL Scouts, have questioned is he ready for the big time? is he experienced enough? Who would the Packers get thou to back him up? With a young guy like Rodgers with minimal experience you need a veteran behind him, so who's left?
Who's Worse Off? Aaron Rodgers Or Alex Smith?
Aaron Rodgers and Alex Smith were both taken in the 1st round of the 2005 NFL draft. For the last three years each man has traveled a very different journey, yet they find themselves in the exact same place…. Knee deep in sh-t.

Former 3rd Overall Pick - Released?Again
The Atlanta Falcons have released Joey Harrington, the third overall pick from the 2002 draft who starred at the University of Oregon prior to learning that football isn't easy.
Harrington and #1 overall pick David Carr are the posterboys for what is likely one of the poorest quarterback classes in NFL Draft history.
