1. they didnt ask him to sit.
2. he wouldnt have been receptive to it anyway.
3. he is all about personal records and $.
4. the old man wears out after about 11-12 games.

Geeze Mangini… don’t you hate it when a trusted member of your organization moves on to another team and then stabs you in the back, telling the world that you’re a cheater?

NICE!!! FULL OF WIN.
I hate them both so it’s schadenfreude at its finest for me.

And Favre continues to act like a jackass. When I read the title I thought Favre meant Mangini should have benched him for being so bad, and that was nice for him to admit that. Nope, its just Favre making excuses. What about all those years he sucked for Green Bay, whats his excuse for those years?

i love that vikings fans have to keep telling themselves that favre isn’t everything that he has proven himself to be over the last nearly two decades.
i heard a commercial on the radio while on my way back from northern minnesota last weekend. it was an advertisement for a vikings bar and whenever favre throws his first touchdown, there are free drinks for the rest of the quarter. and then they proceeded with a deep voice….”can you say super bowl, super bowl, SUPER BOWL???!!!” it was comedy at its finest

How is he honest to a fault?? I can’t remember him telling the unabashed truth since ’96 when he checked himself in to rehab.
He’s a pathological liar, and he’s now so far out of his mind he actually believes the things he says. It’s sad to see really.

He is honest to a fault. They shouldn’t let him speak to the media. He isn’t exactly projecting confidence.

Favre said he was receptive to sitting and throws out some what ifs about if Clemens had played down the stretch. He says that he could still throw but his accuracy was off 1 or 2 yards and he couldn’t make tight throws because of it.
The headline says that Favre says Mangini should have benched him. That is a bit of a stretch.
The way that defense and running game fell apart down the stretch I think Clemens would have failed in their as well. It was a 4-12 team that over achieved early and Favre couldn’t carry it late with his biceps injury.

Favre rocks. I think that’s the moral of this story. He not only has started enough games consecutively to equal office-dwellers not calling in sick for ten lifetimes in a row, but he also provides the traffic for Web sites that wouldn’t have any traffic if it weren’t for him (and Vick, video boards, and rape allegations, of course).

No, no, no. You’re doing it all wrong! Let me help you…
You want to spin it even further, then consider the fact that Favre had nothing to play for by the end of the 2008 season. He’d already proven he could lead this team to big victories while the Packers were having a forgetful year without him. Why not just say he faked the injury and packed it in for the rest of the season so Green Bay got the worst possible draft pick for shipping him off to Siberia, New York.
This way, he didn’t have to go to the playoffs (save wear and tear on that old body), and then hope the Jets would give up on him after he got everyone fired because of a gamble that didn’t payoff.
Then, get cut loose, act like his career was over for good, just so he could slip into a purple and yellow jersey and play for the team he’d always intended to go to.
The long courtship was just a ruse, right? A PR campaign to appear honest and thoughtful about his choice to eventually return and hope that no one put together all the random pieces and think that he might just be pulling wool over the collective eyes with this phony injury thing?
Face it, Favre draws blog hits. Put your controversial spin on some honest commentary and draw debators out of the woodwork to drive, drive, drive that web traffic. You’re just stirring the pot and enjoy watching all the idiots jump into the stew time after time after time.
Run lemmings, run! Lynch or defend Favre! Go!
Give NBC what they want Florio so they won’t cut the apron strings, eh?
You know, I’ve got a Favre blog. *Startling admission* I must be up to no good, too. The conspiratorial gaze slowly shifts it’s focus…

“At this point in ma career,
I have almost forgot the taste of fears;
The time has been, my senses would have cool’d
To hear a night-shriek; and my fell of hair
Would at a dismal treatise rouse and stir
As life were in’t: I have supp’d full with horrors;
Direness, familiar to my slaughterous thoughts
Cannot once start me.
Last year I was but a walking shadow, a poor player, who struts and frets his hour upon the field and then is heard no more.
A team coached by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”

Leaving the Jets is one of the best things that has ever happened to Brett Favre. What a bad situation that was.
It’s apparent that Favre is carrying a huge chip on his shoulder over last season. He feels he has something to prove.
He should just throw a lot of checkdowns on Sundy. Right over Shaun Rogers’s outstretched arms and to a Vikings running back.

And the headline for this regurgitation shows why the jerks who run this site will never be able to report anything other than second-hand news. Second-hand news gathering that I appreciate, nonetheless. It’s tough to comb all those Web sites for quotes to speciously interpret.

Well, that explains why he crapped his pants the last 5 games in ’08!
Since he’s still hurt, it won’t be a big thang when Farve craps his pants again this year!

You angry little people are silly, silly, little angry people.
The last quarterback I really remember throwing someone (or some line) under the bus is a Manning. But he hasn’t gotten to the end of his career yet, and hasn’t lost your fickle affections (though he is a drawling southerner who says what’s on his mind, so he probably will soon enough).
Y’all are the kind of people that no one is happy to have in their lives. You’re the self-important jerks, after all. You think your opinion about Brett Favre really matters?
What a bunch of wieners.

Brett Favre Now a Viking! : “We the people and we THE MEDIA all have a hard on for putting him at the top of the headlines, ALL HE wants to do is play the game”
Idealistically this sounds good and all, but unfortunately it is just not true. In fact, its been noted by more than a few individuals in the media, that Brett has been known to text Ed Werder all day long with updates (during Favre-gate, before going to the Jets) and craves the attention. And about the Packers, you can’t blame them for wanting to move forward after being jerked around. Especially when they were sitting on (no homo) one of the best QBs in the league.

BELICHICK SAYS: MANIGINA, SHUT YER PIE HOLE
Why doesn’t anyone talk about how Mangina has tarnished the Belichick coaching tree? C’mon, does anyone really think that coming from the Belichick school of coaching that the ONLY response to the question above is:
“I don’t know about that team, all I know about is the team and players on this sheet of paper in front of me. Are there any revelant questions to THIS football team, because I’ll answer those questions, but I won’t answer any questions about THAT team, so, I guess next question.”

I dont blame Mangini for continuing to play Favre. Would you rather have a 50% Favre or a 100% Kellen Clemens? At least with Favre in there, you have the illusion of a passing threat, 10 out of 10 coaches would have continued to play Favre unless they had a backup they had faith in. This story just re-iterates how terrible Kellen Clemens is.

Just another excuse for when the Vikes tank this year and Favre has to run away with his tail tucked between his legs. I can see the quote now…
“Well yea they benched me this year, but remember when I said I should have been benched last year? Well it’s like the same thing, so everything is ok, Go SageJack”
If Minn is playing so bad that they are out of the playoff race by week 12 or 13 I bet Favre pulls a Petrino and gets the f*ck out of the twin cities.

I’m not a fan of Mangini, but Favre can go F##K himself with this B.S.
I have never wished that someone gets hurt, but I can openly say that I hope Favre gets his clock cleaned.
I can only speak for myself, but I can’t stand this arrogant, self-serving douche bag.

Consider this, Capt. Fantasdick:
While in New England, Mangini shows no moral qualms regarding this supposed “cheating” as long as he is a beneficiary, riding that magic carpet into a head coaching job with the Jesters.
He continues this videotaping practice as head coach of the Jesters (a confirmed fact), lies about the Patriots giving them permission, and then immediately turns around and rats out the man who is solely responsible for him being anything for than an obese water boy. Mangini is a dispicable hypocrite- and you know it.
You say Matt Walsh is the man. Really? A disgruntled former employee who was FIRED because he sucked at his job and who lied about being a golf pro, lied about having damning evidence, got called on the carpet and became notorious as being a compulsive liar whose never accomplished anything in his life. Well, other than getting his 15 minutes of fame in a nefarious scheme which to this day completely destroyed the credibility of the Boston Herald as well as that of a pompous, smarmy journalist who will wear a scarlet letter for what remains of his disgraced career.
Maybe Matt Walsh is the man to people in that backwards inbred cesspool that is Pittsburgh, but suffice to say the rest of the continental U.S sees this mentally ill tall-tale-teller for the piece of trash he is.

“This isn’t meant as an anti-Vikings comment, but I get the feeling Brett is regretting his decision to come back and play again.
The guy never used to build in excuses for poor performance before. His comments now have me wondering if he’s second guessing himself and if he’s realized he’d rather be sitting on his farm than playing football this season.
Anyway, it’s just an opinion. I certainly don’t know the guy, but it feels off to me.”

That’s a very interesting statement. I hadn’t thought about it like that. I just assumed that he was getting tangled in his web of lies.

Browns fan here…………I’m borderline sick…….
Favre needs any built-in excuse possible to attempt to expain why he wasn’t MVP for 17 years in a row…………and Mangini, where the f do you start…….oh, I have an idea, I won’t disclose the starting QB for the game, because that will SOMEHOW stop Adrian Peterson from running for 330 yards, 4 touchdowns against all my former Jet players I got from the Sanchez deal……………..Jesus, ti tty fing Cripes……….gimme a team to love again!!!!!!!!!!!1

———————————————-
LOL!! I see Patriots fans are still acting like the noble thing to do would’ve been for Mangini to keep quiet and allow Belichick to cheat against his team. Blaming Mangini for “tattling” instead of blaming the Belichick for cheating 6 + years (including playoff games…..thanks for the video evidence Walsh you da man). Gotta love that Pats fan logic. Still being mad at everyone but the party actually guilty of wrong-doing…….the New England Patriots.

“This proves once again that Favre sudden dip in play last year was due to a tear in his biceps”
^^^^^^^^^
Revisionist history and total garbage.
Only the remaining Kool Aid drinking, oxygen deprived, truth denying Favre apologists truly believe this crock of shit.
