Farve To play for the Eagles??

[OLS]

Aw let him alone. He has more football talent in his well-exposed weiner than anyone here, let himplay football.
I think he is thinking he can get back just enough glory to put some luster back on his formerly stellar hall-of-fame
reputation, if he can have one or two more good years. And who's to say he can't do it? I don't personally think it's
worth it, he's going in no matter what. But he's got a hard head. Let him alone for now.

If he can, why not???

I'm far from a Favre apologist, but if/when the Eagles trade Kolb, wouldn't someone like Favre make perfect sense as a backup in Philly? Vick's not going to make it through 16 games and they'll need a veteran to keep the offense somewhat in tact while Vick's out. Further, Reid does have a history with Favre so it's not like he's going to be going into the situation blind.

I love this argument. You are not as good as the professional player you are criticizing so you are not allowed to have an opinion.

Most athletes thinks they can have one last go of it after spending some quality time with the family and/or their hobby. Almost always, they fell flat on their face, ruining their legacy.

BF is insufferable. I don't him in my team (yeah it's my team).

I'm still a big fan, but he's come down a long way in my estimation, beginning back when he said it wasn't his job to teach/mentor Rodgers.
What's the next endorsement for him? Waffle House? or, Iphone pic/txt features?

This and this. Not worth it.

Two things:

1. How's Willie Mays, Michael Jordan, Johnny Unitas & Jerry Rice's legacies?
2. Last year was bad, but you can't lay that all that at the feet of Favre. He's not good enough to carry a team anymore and injuries to the Vikings receiver corps accentuated that. Being the backup on a talented offensive team like the Eagles would be about a good a fit as Favre could hope for at this stage in his career.
