*** ESPN is reporting that Brett Favre is retiring ***

[TheRook]

So does Trent Dilfer lol

[PhilJr]

Jim McMahon has just as many super bowl rings as Brett Favre. So does Steve Fuller.

This retirement should be page 7 news.

Pretty lame comparison, you can do better than that

McMahon doesn't even compare to Favre.

Reports are that Tim Hasselback is being considered

One of the greatest ever (IMO). I'll really miss watching Favre play. I've always been a fan of him and his game. Certain guys have made the NFL what it is today and Brett is at the top of that list for me.

McMahon doesn't even compare to Favre.

How you figure?

Given the critera I set based on Super Bowl rings....I think he compares really well.

Farve retires as much as Dimer eats.

It's all a big yawn fest

I probably could, but why?

My point is made.

Why beat a dead horse?

Hopefully he's a man of his word this time and doesn't screw up the packers future at QB more then he already has.

Put all of their numbers up and lets compare.

Most NFL teams are hurting for QB's that's why they are paying so damn much money for some of these guys just like in MLB/hurting for pitching.

If I do that that'll make my point even more.

McMahon had lesser numbers with the Bears and produced the same amount of super bowl rings that Favre did with better numbers.

I don't base my QB's on numbers, i'll take rings any day.

It's just a sweet sweet thing to know that the last pass Brett Favre threw was an INT that lead to an NFC Championship loss.

you failed to add that all important detail to my whole point. But I took care of it.

[griffey_mojo]

He looked pretty good when he filled in against Dallas last year

And that means what??? He didn't even play the entire game.

[BettorsChat]

McMahon no HOF
Favre = lock to HOF

You can Judge them by your #'s and I'll Judge them by mine. It takes a team to win a Super Bowl.

No Comparison

[griffey_mojo]

Why move up? Aaron Rodgers will be a star. He was very impressive vs. the Cowboys this past season.

Not you too Frank...
