Brett Favre official number retirement. Lambeau. 11/26/15.

"Here come I to my own again,

Fed, forgiven and know again,

Claimed by bone of my bone again,

And cheered by flesh of my flesh..."

- from Rudyard Kipling's "The Prodigal Son"

Brett Favre. Lambeau. Official number retirement/ring of honor ceremony. Halftime. Green Bay versus Chicago. November 26, 2015. Thanksgiving.

Following our Thanksgiving dinner, I watched the game and ceremony with my family - as we've always done. 'Cause we've always been thankful for The Gunslinger - The Iron Man...Number 4.

Favre selfie - morning of the ceremony in Green Bay.

Legendary Green Bay Hall of Famer/NFL Hall of Famer, QB Bart Starr, was on hand to help celebrate Favre's number retirement.

Who's the Lions' fan?

 

 

I wanna know who this asshole is. Stumbled on this photo when Brett Favre was in the news recently talking about football concussions.

This photo was from the Minnesota Vikings @ Detroit Lions but it doesn't say the year. Favre played with Minnesota for the 2009 and 2010 season. In 2009 when the Vikings visited Detroit, the Vikes killed the Lions, 27-13. So the "old man" sign really looks like a douche bag move, douche bag.

In 2010, the Vikes visited Detroit near the end of the season when Favre was hurt and not playing. I'll give this fan the benefit of the doubt that he knew better to not hold this sign up when Favre wasn't even in the game. Therefore, I'm assuming this was the 2009 meeting when the Vikings and the "old man" kicked Detroit's ass.

This is why I never make public predictions on games. Or hold up moronic signs. Someone tell me who this guy is.

#4 debuts with the Minnesota Vikings! 4 years ago today...

Brett Favre had his debut outing with the Minnesota Vikings on this day in 2009. Favre and the Vikings beat the Cleveland Browns, 34-20. Above:  Brett and Percy Harvin after the two connected for a TD. Read about it here.

The NFL - for me - has never been the same. SKOL, Favre!!!

"Now is the Aaron of our discontent?"

NOOOOOOOOOOOO! Not AR! Not the heir to Brett Favre! Not Aaron Rodgers! He's not like this, is he?

Rob Reischel, Packer Plus writer, has some not-so-nice things to say about AR. Check it out here.

For the record, I have nothing against AR. It's the 3 Monkeys who run the Packers that I take issue with. And every hypocritical fan who lectures me to "drop it - it's over", yet continues to throw Favre under the bus. If you're unfamiliar with the beef I have with the Packers (my former team), feel free to peruse this blog by category (scroll down, right panel) and look for BRETT FAVRE. It's pretty self-explanatory.

Tagliabu = pussy.

 

In his official mediation, former NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue ruled that, though the New Orleans Saints coaching staff is to be held accountable for the illegal bounties (Google it) and confirmed the Saints players cooperated in the scheme, all the players were doing was following orders. Thus, the four players suspended - Jpnathan Vilma, Anthony Hargrove, Scott Fujita and Will Smith - will have their suspensions wiped clean.

 

I don't even know what that means. They were involved - but just following orders. Are there little children now playing in the NFL? They can be fined but not suspended. I still don't know what that means. "Following orders"? What does that remind you of in history? Think WWII.

 

From now on, the word "pussy" in my vocabulary will be replaced with "tagliabue . Or "taggy".

Thanks, Susan Lombardi!

QUOTE OF THE YEAR...

From the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (rag), Dec. 8, 2012, Susan Lombardi, daughter of NFL legend Vince Lombardi, touched on a number of subjects during a two-hour interview at her home in De Pere. The highlight:

On what her father, Vince Lombardi, would have thought of Brett Favre:
"Brett would have been my father's favorite quarterback."

what Leroy Butler said...

...if the referees call the game right, Minnesota’s in the Super Bowl because they can kick a field goal from - like the 35, Sparky, instead of the 50…I think Brett Favre and Minnesota got an unfair shake. They did not throw the flags and I wanna know why, in the 2009 investigation, what did the referee – what was his comment. He was standing right there – Brett went to him and told him, 'Look man, they’re hitting me', and the ref said, ‘I gotcha, I gotcha, I gotcha’. They hit him (Favre) 3 more times during the stretch of that and was it worth it? Was all this worth it?...

- Leroy Butler, former Super Bowl-winning Green Bay Packer on ESPN's 1250AM The Big Show in Milwaukee, commenting on the 2009 NFC Championship game between the Minnesota Vikings and New Orlean Saints during a discussion on "Bountygate". NO beat MN in OT and went on to win the SB. Funny though - I don't recall any of the guys on The Big Show talking like this when it happened three years ago.

"You have been weighed, you have been measured, and you have been found wanting. Come back when you're worthy. Bitches."

Above:  Two cunts in search of a life. Head Coach Sean Payton (left) and former Defensive Coordinator Gregg Williams. Both out of a job for at least a year. HA!

Ah yes....great quote from A Knight's Tale. My post headline - don't tell me you haven't seen A Knight's Tale???

The High Commish of the NFL has laid down the law on these two pricks - as well as other coaches on the New Orleans Ain'ts. In case you don't know, the Ain'ts were found in violation of NFL policy for offering bounties - cash to deliver hits on other players. So much cash for a knock out, so much for cash for this or that. Williams has since left the Ain'ts (January 2012) for the Tennessee Titans (coincidence?), but he's suspended indefinitely so who knows what'll happen to his sorry ass. Payton was suspended for one year. His reaction - stunned. Actually he said:

Jay Glazer (Fox Sports):  "Are you, OK?"


Sean Payton:  "No - I'm not OK."

Too fucking bad, you fuck. You fucked with my Minnesota Vikings - and Brett Favre - in the 2009 NFC Championship game (Vikes got robbed in OT), a game my gut tells me we would've won (even with 6 turnovers) had Favre not been knocked around like an ultimate fighter player (this - in a league that "protects" its QB's). Course, that's just my opinion. Anyways, Commish Goodell will hand down sentences on Ain't' players soon. The Minnesota Vikings already got rid of one former Ain't they picked up (last year?) who figures on being suspended.

Here's the full story.

Bye, bye, asshole(s). You cheered to the world while raising your Super Bowl trophy, "This is for New Orleans! This is for Katrina! This is for the fans!" Cheating shitbags. Go fuck yourselves. And take your Super Bowl trophy and stick it up your collective twats.

FYI:  And if anyone comments, "Don't be naive, Jeff - this is going on all over the NFL", you can fuck yourself too. You don't know how widespread it is (or isn't). We do know it apparently has happened on teams Gregg Williams coached for. Regardless - the Ain'ts GOT CAUGHT. Period.

Jedi prayer, goats & another goat...Gregg Williams.

Gregg Williams is the former New Orleans Saints defensive coordinator. I've always been creeped out by him and my intuition is very accurate. So Williams leaves the Saints in January for the same position with the St. Louis Rams and suddenly the NFL releases a 50,000 page report based on an investigation that Williams offered "bounties" (monies) to his defensive players while at New Orleans to "take out" players from opposing teams. Hmmmmm....coincidence?

Remember the NFC Championship game two years ago? With Brett Favre at the helm of the Minnesota Vikings, the Saints beat Minnesota in OT and went on to win the Super Bowl. Favre got the shit kicked out of him most of the game - one penalty was called, at least one penalty wasn't called that the refs admitted afterwards that they missed and there were at least a half dozen other calls that should've been penalties as well. I mean, even a blind man could see Favre looked like an ultimate fighter contestant on the field rather than a quarterback in the NFL - a league that "says" it makes it a priority to "protect" it's QB's.

Here's the story with more details. Williams has issued an apology...but he can fuck himself. Head Coach Sean Payton apparently knew about it so he can fuck himself too. So did the GM and owner. Fucker's 3 & 4. Still waiting to hear how the NFL will come down on Williams, the coaching staff of the Saints and its players. So basically the whole team can fuck itself. Word is that the penalties will be harsh.

So for all of you fans who knew the Saints were playing dirty in that NFC Championship game but whose cries fell on deaf ears, our time has come. This jedi prayer from "The Men Who Stare at Goats" is for you. 

"Mother Earth, you are my life support system. As a soldier I will drink your blue water, live inside your red clay and eat your green skin. Help me to balance myself as you hold and balance the Earth, the sea and the space environments. Help me to open my heart knowing the universe will feed me. I pray my boots will always kiss your face and my footsteps match your heartbeat. Carry my body through space and time. You are my connection to the universe and all that comes after. I am yours and you are mine. I salute you...oh, and Gregg Williams is a cunt."

Seasons of Greatness. No. 1: Eric Heiden (1980).

"I loved watching (Brett) Favre and I love watching Aaron Rodgers. Hank Aaron is known around the world. I'm honored to be included with them."

Ranked from 1 - 10, Eric Heiden tops the list of the 10 Wisconsin-based athletes. Read the Heiden article here and see the rest of the list. FYI:  During the 1980 Winter Olympics, Heiden became the only athlete in the history of speed skating to have won all five events in a single Olympic tournament and the only one to have won a gold medal in all events.

And he's from Madison, Wisconsin. So there.

(SPOILER ALERT! Brett Favre (1996) finished #4, ahead of Aaron Rodgers.)

Driver disses old pal Favre? Really?

In a recent interview, Green Bay Packer WR Donald Driver extolled the virtues of working with QB Aaron Rodgers - while slighting former GB QB Brett Favre.

I've played with two quarterbacks. One just went out there and did what he did, and he wasn't patient at all. But Aaron takes what the defense gives him, and that's the type of guy you want. - Donald Driver.

Driver is correct in stating that Favre wasn't as patient at Rodgers, let's say. You know, the gunslinger type. But why is a reporter pimping Driver by asking him this question now? Favre's long gone as a Packer. Talk about beating a dead horse. And Packer fans want me to "let it go"? Wonder why no journalists asked Driver this question when the Packers went 6-10 the season immediately after Favre's departure from Green Bay?

Funny...Driver never complained about Favre's style those 9 years when Brett was tossing DD the ball, mounting up all those TD's and catches, was he? Check here for Driver's stats. All 3 years Driver was selected to the Pro Bowl while playing with Favre, he never complained once about Favre's style back then. No siree.

Hmmmm...must be that Super Bowl ring. Sure it is...
