That's a great point, Frogfish. I defy any Rubgy fan to tell me one of those guys wouldn't make a world-class prop or second line, considering they average in height: 6' 6" weight: 325-330lbs. and are all very athletic as well as EXTREMELY powerful.

HEY GUYS! We need all those who wanted in the Fantasy Football league to join it NOW. We still have a couple more spots open. PM me or post here if you want the ID and password again.

i'm soooooooooooo happy that nfl training camp starts on july 20th,with the hall of fame game on august 3rd.THANK GOD AND GEORGE HALAS FOR PRO FOOTBALL!!!!!!

Anybody else getting tired of Brett Favre dominating the football news? Anybody here from Wisconsin that can shed more light on this from a local standpoint?

Here's the very scary part, there is a rumor going around here that the Packers and the Bears are talking about a trade. How could I watch football ever again?

At least my family would have me back on Sundays.

He's a puss infested, crybaby, anal warts eating jag hole, he has that nasty habit of breathing, I wish he'd stop.

You sound upset.

I smiley guyed at the end.

But seriously if the Pack released him, and he came here OY! What would the Bear's Fans do? It's split on sports radio half dont care the other half are freakn' out ...NOOOOOO!


F-me first the economy and now the posability of this. Makes me want to crawl under a rock.

I personally think they'll release him. No GM is gonna invest a draft pick(unless your talking about a 6th or 7th round throw-away pick) in a guy that may or may not be around for more than a year? So they're(The Packers) bargaining leverage is crap. And as far as I can see, The Vikings are the only team that may be only a QB away from a conference championship, and they have STEADFASTLY stated that Tavaris Jackson is their guy.

If The Packers release Favre, it dosen't make them look so bad in the eyes of the national media(even though nothing will save Ted Thompson and Co. from looking like digbats to they're fan base at this point, IMO), considering the barrell Favre has them over at this point. You "give in to his demands" and release him. Then you paint it like "we had no choice, there was no one willing to give up a pick in a trade worthy of Favre's talents, and we respect and honor what Bett has sacrificed and given to this organization over the course of his great career to grant him HIS REQUEST". Just make sure you emphasize that it was HIS REQUEST, and infer that if it wasn't for his insecent waffling, he'd still be your starting QB, without a doubt.

It's the only way this could end amicably, at this point, IMO.

thats a sound plan, I know on some of the Wisconsin morning radio programs, all the cheeseheads are saying STFU to Farve, I think they are fedup too. I think when he retired for the second time all the Packer backers mourned for a little bit and then moved on mentaly and emotionaly. Bret's the only one who cant let go.

Yes, I'm sick of the Favre talk but the guy can still play.

Can you imagine Favre in a Vikings uniform? I can't, no matter how inviting it seems.

Did I ever mention how much I hate Favre?

I dont like american football,i dont like rugby,i like"FOOTBALL" get that"FOOTBALL" its not called soccer in england,my team is newcastle united f.c, the f.c stands for FOOTBALL CLUB,not newcastle united s.c.
The reason we call it FOOTBALL is because they use there feet,wich lends the name FOOTBALL,they dont pick the ball up and run around,the game in england is run by the F.A ,which is theFOOTBALL ASSOCIATION,not the s.a,only americans call football soccer,the rest of the world call it football.

One thing i do hate about football is christiano ronaldo,the guy is a brilliant player,but is calling himself a slave to manchester united,he is being payed £100,000, a week,i wish i was a slave to man u.christiano a few word"****ing grow up".

I can picture Favre in a Bear's uniform though

Uhhh, this is a football thread, not a soccer thread.

Well, you can close the book on Jason Taylor, which makes me a bit sad. I understand where he's coming from, his wants, and I understand this is the business aspect of the game. He's 33 years old and has given it all he's got every year. Thanks for the memories, Jason, and if possible, I would love to see The Redskins win the title next year, if not for my wife(HUGE Skins fan), then for Taylor.

After analyzing this trade, I guess you couldn't ask for more from The Skins...or any other team...than what The Fins got. A 2nd rounder in 2009 and a 6th in 2010. Too bad they(The Fins) couldn't have gotten a pick in this years draft that could have helped them sooner, but I don't expect them to be better than 6-10 next year anyway. Maybe that additional 2nd rounder will help them leverage a trade up in next years draft, who knows?

I'm American and I love both soccer and football! Go Schalke 04!!!!!

You, my friend, are the anomaly. Kinda like Neo in The Matrix.

american football is like the special olympics

If you mean entertaining and inspirational, then yes.

Because the American Football have hugh players. Soccer are nothing but skiny guys running around. They are roughly the same weight and size. The American Footballers are different in size. Ask any Soccer players if they want to go up against Strahan or Ray Lewis just to name a few? I am certain they would not. They would get killed. Silly question mate!

If Favre goes to the Bears, they would be a force to be reckoned with. Grossman is too inconsistent to ever win the big game.

It's too bad that Taylor's stock dropped tho. I thought for sure he was worth at least a 1st rd pick.

Favre in a Bucs uniform, Taylor in a Redskins uniform.......the world is officially turning upside-down.

I heard about Jason Taylor, I was a little shocked.

I didn't hear about Favre, I know he was shoping himself around. Is that a finalized deal?

I doubt it. The next 48 hours should give a better idea about what's about to happen. The more I look at the Jason Taylor to Washington thing, the more it dosen't add up. I just don't see Washington doing a lot in that division. I have them as the 3rd best team AT BEST, and unless they win 10 games or more, I don't see them getting a wild card birth.

Dude, I didn't even know it, but Jeremy Shockey went to the Saints! The Taylor news dwarfed that!

Wouldn't Favre look nice in purple and gold. If that happens, 13-3 at worst!

I think some wayward cheesehead would run into Vikings Headquarters with a cheese-bomb strapped to him/herself and detonate before that became reality, LOL.

I think it'll be Tampa Bay, or nowhere. I think, at this point, all that's being haggled over is the draft pick or player compensation. I mean, really, what do you think Brett Favre's value is at this point in his career?

you vikings fan ready for bredtt favre???

Yeah, as of now, I think our chance for Favre is dwindling.

Oh well, TJack baby!

The fact that Ted Thompson and Mike McCarthy are afraid of hurting Aaron Rodgers feelings, to me, is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. I don't care WHEN Brett Favre called me(as long as it was before the start of the season), if I were the GM or head coach, I would take him back in a HEARTBEAT and hand him the starting job no questions asked. Rodgers would just have to understand, and if he diddn't, who the hell is Aaron Rodgers, and what has he done? In short, nobody and nothing.

I was listening to a radio station out of Milwaukee this morning, The topic was about Favre. I'm gonna say abot 90% of the guys and gals that called in were sick of him, he's been saying he doesn't want to play for the last TWO seasons. Remeber 2 yrs ago when he played the last regular season game at Soldiers Field and cried on the field telling everybody he's hanging it up, then has a press confrance to say he's still pretty sure he's not coming back, then has a press confrance to say, he's thinking he might come back, then show up to training camp. Then actualy does retire the next year, and now he's pulling this B.S. he's got dem Cheese Heads pretty P.O.'d at this point. EVERYBODY I heard and talk too thats a Packer fan around here are like Eff him. any who, thats the climate I'm seeing about this situation. I'm going to the Cubs game today/tonight at Miller Park, I'll be asking Packer fans what they think.

NO Favre No!!! Go to the Bears!

Vikes innocent of tampering charges. Stupid Packers trying to sabotage us.

Who all here is signed up for the Fantasy League. If you aren't, sign up ASAP. Let me know if you need in the league ID and password.

I'm in.

They are evil, I believe they are satan's favorite team.

Hey PM me the info,I'll sigh up at home, cant do it here. It's considered "gambling" pfft, I tried to explain that there's no money involved it's for fun. No dice.

Well, Orton is starting tomorrow, I wonder how brutal it's going to be. My sister-in-law was at the Bears family night thing on Saturday. She told me Grossman was booed for the whole practice, he thre a bomb to hester for a touchdown and everybody booed Grossman and cheered Hester....lmao! Shelley told me SHE was embarresed for him

What ? They're not giving up on Sexy Rexy are they ?

I heard there's a good chance he's going to Tampa Bay.

But I'm sick of it too. I wish he would had just stayed retired. He was even offered a 20 mil bribe to stay retired.

Rex is well hated here, Orton is tolerated. We have to have THE worst offfence in the NFL right now.

Bretty boy is an official nutjob now. I'm loving this melt down he's having

FAVRE TRADED TO JETS,BLOCK VIKES FROM OBTAINING FAVRE WITH A CLAUSE
they packers traded favre to the jets for a conditional draft pick.they also prevented the minnesotta vikings from obtaining him by putting a clase in the trade that would make the jets send the packers 3 first round picks if he was traded to the vikes.
sounds to me that they are scared of you vikings fans.

As a fan of a team that went 1-15(should'a been 0-16 if Brian Billick had a pair), I'd have to respectfully disagree with you my friend.

Ok Onyx we should bet who's got the worst offence

I wonder how bad they get beat tonight? It's gonna be a loooooong season, It December yet?


HEY FROG! I PMed you Tuesday, send me the info! I just got my $ league info this afternoon, I have to go set it up tonight.

You're right there . . . . it's the Bears who should be making every effort to get Farve . . . . they have needed a quarterback for the past four years.

Hey, Frogfish, with our draft Sunday nite, aren't we gonna need more than 4 teams?

It's Sunday? Man I'm the last to know, what time?

Ok Im in, my team is "Jollymon"


Thanks PUMPER!

Sorry getting about not getting back to you Finsup. I was swamped with work.

Rest EDITED for being an idiot...

Because of Favre heading to the Jets, Pennington might be headed to Minnesota. Might is the keyword tho.

Man, I swear we had more than 5 people say they were down for the Fantasy league...
Since I don't think anymore are gonna join, do you want me to leave it as is or open it up to the public? Personally, a 5 team league isn't that bad. My vote to keep it as is. More competition and stacked teams.

the vikes should have went out and got a veteran qb because tavarius jackson is gonna stink up the place!
pennington looks like joe montanna compared to jackson.
