Favre, Favre, Favre.

I am so tired of the coverage this old man is getting. Enough with the Brett Favre love fest by these TV and radio guys. How is someone supposed to get any decent insight to the matchups and team strategy of the game when all you hear is these ESPN and talk radio douche bags slobber all over Favre.

Didn't ESPN Countdown have a birthday cake for Favre and sung him happy birthday during one of the segments this year? No wonder he thinks he is bigger than the game because all of these people are all on his nut sack and tell him its okay to take out defensive lineman's knees on cut blocks and throw his old team under the bus with the injury report, run up the score to pad his career stats and waffle back and forth year after year while holding the Packers franchise hostage. Ungrateful piece of shit.

I am calling it now the fix is in. No way the NFL is going to call this game on the up and up. The refs probably received a memo to protect Favre at all costs and call more pass interference penalties.

I never get tired of FAVRE FAVRE FAVRE

This Sunday will be his last game.

yawn....... love you guys that over-exaggerate everything you 'perceive' to see on tv.

get over it...the guy is a legend. if you don't like it, turn the channel. I've seen just as much saints, colts, and jets coverage. It's Super Bowl deciding week...there's goin to be football coverage....they got you sucked right into what they want.

It seems like it was a 1000 years ago when he had that cameo in There's Something About Mary. Old bastard and his cheap ass Wrangler Jeans.

Favre still unsure of return

ESPN.com

LOS ANGELES -- The desire is there for Brett Favre to return for another season with the Minnesota Vikings. If he doesn't return, it will be because his surgically repaired ankle won't allow him to, the quarterback said Wednesday night.

"It starts with the ankle," Favre said in an interview with ESPN's Hannah Storm backstage at the ESPY Awards. "I can walk fine, but you don't walk in football."

Favre said that he is still not completely healthy. "I guess at 40 I may never be," he said.

Favre said he thought his recovery from ankle surgery -- this Friday will mark eight weeks since the operation -- would have been quicker.

"I had hoped it would have been a little bit better at this point," he said.

Favre said his hurting ankle affects his entire body.

"When you wake up in the morning and your feet hurt it kind of makes the rest of your body hurt," he said. "And If you've been sacked 700 times that usually adds to it."

Favre said he knows the Vikings are a great team: "I know that now, I knew it last year," he said.

However, if he does return, he wants to make sure the Vikings are getting what they expect.

"I would love to play and be the best I can possibly be," he said. "That's what I'm working toward right now."

Favre had hoped to make a quicker decision on a return this time around, but that didn't happen.

"It's not desire," Favre said.

He said the "goosebumps come right back ... not that they ever left" when watching the highlight of his last-second touchdown pass last season to Greg Lewis, which won the pair of teammates the Best Play Award at the ESPYs.

"But physically, I want to know if I can play and make those type of plays," Favre said. "I don't know if I can ever answer that. At least in my mind that's how I feel where I have to be."
