Brett Farve Retires

[mToWn19]

After 17 seasons Favre decides to retire. He will go down as one of the best QB's ever to play the game if not the best.

Who is Farve?

:poke:


Just kidding.

Favre is/was my favorite NFL player to watch. I'll miss watching him play.

you won't find a qb who was tougher than favre. it'll be really weird seeing someone else behind center next year.

Ummmm, I'm guessing you never herd of seen that qb in Pittsburgh play. I think he goes by the name Big Ben.

Oh man, I agree SB. That guy was something else. And like all of the sportscasters have been commenting, he was one of the few really great qbs who was never surrounded with an allstar cast and he still broke all kinds of mad records.

After that last game they played up there on that tundra,I think I remember him saying something about how all of the years that he had played in those types of conditions, that that was the first time that it ever really bothered him.

Kamd50,

Putting aside my Steelers interests for the better of this thread, I have to say my favorite Favre moment (even though I wanted New England and Bill Parcells to win) was his two touchdowns and running for one more to hoist Green Bay to a 35-21 win over the Patriots in Super Bowl XXXI.

Even though Desmond Howard stole the show with his blinding 100-yard kickoff return touchdown in the third quarter, I have to say that was Favre at his best on that January 26, 1997.

You're kidding, right?

[RAPTOR]

The guy almost dies in a motor cycle accident, then has an emergency appendectomy and only misses the first week of football, and your asking me if im kidding.
Ben has also been playing the last two seasons with a bad knee and shoulder, and your asking me if i'm kidding.

So CarlE,
I have to ask:
What do you consider to be tough?

Anyone who has gone through what Ben has and can still play the game the way he does is pretty tough to me.

i don't think anyone's questioning big ben's toughness. i think people just disagree that big ben is tougher than favre. favre had 275 consecutive starts as a qb. that's over 17 full seasons of games. considering the beating these guys take, that record is absolutely incredible.

saying that favre is tougher is not saying that big ben isn't tough. as i said before, there's tough, and then there's brett favre tough. poll everyone in the nfl and i'll guarantee at least 95% say favre is tougher than big ben (the remaining 5% is from pittsburgh LOL).

Go through what Favre has gone through in 15+ years, playing in sub-zero weather with mediocre teams. Then come back and we'll discuss it.

He is ugly and he sucks.


Favre retiring makes K2 the "toughest" player in the NFL. :laugh:

[mToWn19]

Not just him being tough but how he played the game, he had fun isn't that what it is all about. With all the money that is out there he wasn't out there to get a paycheck he was out there for the "love of the game". That why he was so enjoyable to watch.
