Favre retires

[helby]

sad....really sad....he was so fun to watch. 17 years....made it to the NFC championship last year. 7 all time records. sucks. I have faith in rodgers tho. and get your spot reserved now for Favres hall of fame induction in 5 years!:)

[barubabe1]

This totally sucks! I hope he has a change of heart and decides to go for one more run. Hopefully we'll pick up a good quarterback in the draft.

[helby]

he called chris mortensen and said its not a fluke etc etc he is done. he is mentally drained.

[ragdoll]

Who?

[TSi_II]

That sucks... Maybe someday there will be another.

[VPT]

No one cares.

[fordssuck]

Who's Favre?

[VPT]

Some southern fruit cake from what I hear.

[ragdoll]

He's a guy that plays a game and can't pronounce his own last name... from what I hear. I lost interest. :wink:

I'm with VPT

[fordssuck]

Im glad the fruit cake retired, its about time

[helby]

Wow arent you guys a positive bunch. I could say alot of shitty things but i wont...

[TSi_II]

Well I guess we're his only fans then. Well Greg has him as his avatar, so I guess there's 3 of us.

[helby]

ya he never accomplished anything..look at his game the day after his dad died...look at all his records...here is a rundown if you forgot any of them

Besides that over 250 some games started..consecutively...not missing any...i mean i know its not cool as sitting at home playing not he computer like some people do but hey i think its something...

[vettehead]

I respect Brett Favre's accomplishments and I'm very sorry to see him go.

I hoped he would take another crack at it seeing how well they did this season.

For those of you talking sheit: :roll: :roll: :roll:

[MissO]

I'm with you guys... He was definately fun to watch and it's sad to see him go!!

[ZXTUNER]

about time

[Pointdsm]

A true veteran of the game, one of the pure players left. I'm sad to see him go.

[helby]

Not only was he a great player he was a amazing role model for kids everywhere. I am grateful my son got to see him play and grow up in green bay. So many sports stars these days that kids look up to are so shitty. Favre was a exception for sure.

[ZXTUNER]

yeah he sure was doing pain killers and all

[helby]

Oh did you miss the part where he overcame all that and cleaned up and has 2 kids and married to his highschool sweetheart and etc etc...compared to alot of fucks like tank johnson or terrell owens

So we have a thread on this, but not one for Boyd Coddington's death? Who cares about a guy who can throw a football, he is still alive, just not playing the game anymore.

Meanwhile last week one of the best hot rod designer/builders passes away and no one cares? Thats pretty sad. I'm not even a huge fan of the hot rod scene and was stunned to hear of his death. He contributed a lot to the automotive world.

[Pointdsm]

Both threads could be made, no need to think that a Favre thread can't be made because a Boyd thread wasn't. I agree, Boyd was a huge part of the hot rod and car world. I didn't like his work much(just not my taste in hot rods), but the man had skills and an eye that nobody else had.

[Stash]

Ok then my opinion is fuck boyd coddington all he did was fuck around with some cars...who gives a fuck. ( pretty much just what you said bout favre....)

You get way too defensive anytime anything is said about the Packers. Did I ever say fuck Brett Favre? No. I wasn't even saying this thread shouldn't have been started. I was just stating on a site of automotive enthusiasts its odd that this is being talked about and Boyd was never mentioned. Half the reason I even made a comment is because I knew that you would come in here getting all defensive about it right away. Its entertaining.

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

I did not know either of them personally, so neither of them had any importance in my life. I never even heard of this Boyd Coddington. Maybe if i sat around more at night and watched TV i might know some of these characters.

[TSi_II]

I never even heard of this Boyd Coddington.
