Annoying "Pity Party" during MNF... - The Orange Mane

Circle Orange · 10-03-2006, 09:47 AM

I mean really, the game was an egg by the fourth quarter. And once again the announcers bored everyone with endless reasons/explanations/excuses for Brett Favre. Why he stayed, what about Aaron Rogers. How he overcame personal tragedy. How the team is so YOUNG and Brett doesn't have a supporting cast. All his family tragedies outlined once again for your viewing enjoyment. How he's such a nice person. Blah, blah...

If you haven't heard all these topics before, raise your hand.

At some point when the game's a turkey, just pan the fans in the stands. At least their makeup was interesting. I liked the bald guy with the beard who was green down to his neck. He's probably all broken out this morning, though.

MechanicalBull · 10-03-2006, 09:57 AM

Last night during the game I was thinking pretty much the same thing. All the so called experts say Vince Young should start because the Titans aren't going anywhere so might as well throw him in the and get some experience, Leinart should start because he is the future of the team and Warner turns the ball over way too much.

But the announcers defend Favre to the death and say you can't put Aaron Rodgers in cause Favre gives them the best chance to win. The Packers aren't going anywhere and Favre is on pace for 20 ints again this year so might as well put Rodgers in to see what he has. I don't know if anyone heard Madden on Sunday night but he was calling Grossman and young Favre, so I guess when he does retire Madden will still be talking about him.

The guy has been throwing up ducks for picks for 3 years and they still don't get it.

He's literally playing himself out of the HOF. He's thrown 260 interceptions.

The talking heads refuse to acknowlege that Favre is simply cashing in checks at around 800K per week. Ho lost any credibility altogether when he claimed this was the most talented team he had ever been on before the season. People love to talk about how Jake throws picks, but they have been ignoring Favre's picks for over a decade. If he sticks around cashing checks one more year, he's going to set a dubious record.

Has there ever been a dumber football player than Brett Favre? Last night was a perfect example of Brett Favre being Brett Favre. He has a wide open tight end down the middle of the field and underthrows him by seven yards and is intercepted by Michael Lewis. On atleast FOUR occasions, his WR's turned into DB's and had to knock down the pass from a wide open opposing DB. If it weren't for Mike Holmgren's genius, Brett Favre would have 400 ints by now.

And you know what? There a thousands of sheep out there baaaahhhaaaing, "Well, Brett's old school. That's just Brett being Brett. I do what I am told." STFU

What really concerns me is that so many of the Cutlerites have compared Cutler to Favre. I hope to Christmas that is not the case. Maybe they are talking about a different characteristic?

For several years, now - since before the SB - I have been less than impressed with Favre. He has an unimpressive "one-half to three-quarters" throwing motion that simply defies logic; accurracy would be sort of like throwing darts sidearmed. Seems like his throws are always a bit short, low and off target; he relies on teh WRs to get to the area and make catches. Of course, there is most always a defender in his face, so I imagine throwing off the back foot while running is acceptable because he is "just trying to make a play."

The Puckers are about the same as the Faiders about now. If you think aout it, the Bay Area crowds and the Puckers should get the top three picks next April in whatever order.

RIP, Favre.

I don't know if you were watching the game last night, but Brett Favre had twice as long to throw the ball compared to Jake Plummer. Favre had a pocket to throw the ball throughout the game.

During his career, he has played behind some great offensive lines as well. One time he had three pro-bowlers starting for him.

I personally think Favre scored a two on the wonderlic. He had all the physical tools you look for coming out of college, yet he was a second round draft pick?

BroncoFanatic · 10-03-2006, 10:59 AM

I used to respect Favre, but those days are loooooooong gone.

IMO, he is still playing ONLY to get the all-time win record. No matter that he hurts his team or fans, he wants that individual record. Selfish turd.

Naa, he is playing for the money. Where else is going to make cash like that?

shakenbake · 10-03-2006, 11:07 AM

Hasn't Farve admitted that he didn't have a basic understanding of defenses untill like year 3 of his pro career, and then only learned after a back-up qb explained it to him.

Donald Trump has been e-mailing him daily.

People that don't realize he's just cashing in checks are well, Madden devotees....

Circle Orange · 10-03-2006, 11:08 AM

And all of the ex qb announcers thinking he's OKAY are bordering on stupidity.

"Let Brett play." is the mantra. So to hell with the team, to hell with the future, its all about a guy holding down the franchise and doing his thing. Even Tom Jackson said Favre KNEW the team wasn't going anywhere when he came back. Brett's hung on too long...his career in the NFL has no direction or focus whatsoever. What's the point? What does he hope to accomplish? Nothing, except grabbing the cash. And I wish these announcers would get up off it and admit this.

Favre (skips happily onto the field, lobs toss) "I threw a ball into the air, it came to earth I know not where!"

shakenbake · 10-03-2006, 11:10 AM

And by basic I mean he didn't know what a 4-3 or a 3-4 defense was.

watermock · 10-03-2006, 11:11 AM

Favre: Shut up, I have to cash a check...

he's making 800k per week and would be lucky to catch minimum wage in the bayous.

Atlas · 10-03-2006, 11:23 AM

He just isn't a good football player anymore, which is strange. He still has all the tools to play. Why is he making dumber decisions.. He should be playing smarter in his old age.

He never met a double coverage that he didn't like.

Bronco Bob · 10-03-2006, 11:29 AM

Didn't they also say at one point in the game that Favre returned this year
because he didn't have anything better to do?

KipCorrington25 · 10-03-2006, 11:33 AM

The bigger question is why the **** is Green Bay even on Monday night? They are terrible, they were terrible last year also so don't put them on!

And that 45 minute in depth interview with Steve McNair was just bizare, I thought I was watching 60 Minutes there for a while. Lame.

Mountain Bronco · 10-03-2006, 11:36 AM

The bad thing about Favre sticking around is the possibility that he breaks Elway's record as the winningest QB ever. That would be sad.

I keep telling all the cheeseheads, he's not a team player anymore. He plays for records now, he needs 9 more wins to beat John Elway. Farve just has marino and Elway's records in his sights, thats why he came back, not to be a team player[what team].

at this rate he is going to have to play 3 more years to get those 9 wins.

exactly.

And Mcnair said Bret has 4 or 5 more years left in him. WTF am I missing watching him? BF is just a poor decision maker.

Of course we've heard these topics before. You and the other redundant fools on this board beat them to death every time Favre's team loses. Of course, none of you had anything to say when he threw for 680 yards and six touchdowns in weeks two and three.

Anyone who watched that game (or understands the game of football) would realize Favre did more than enough to win the ballgame last night. Unfortunately he can't play cornerback, too.

Yeah, God forbid Jay should throw 400+ TDs and only have one losing season in a long NFL career.
