The Eagles could hold a seance, and bring in Otto Graham or Sammy Baugh, or go with the slightly newer Favre.

ANYTHING that helps to get rid of Bad Newz Vick is okay by me!

I would rather invest my money with Bernie Madoff, then my time with Eskin.

For those that don’ t know him, he is a lap dog for Andy Reid. I would not be the least supprized if Andy called Howie, and told him to plant that rumor.

If you want to maintain any credibility, please stop citing anything Eskin says.

What the Eagles need to do is train Brett Favre how to placekick like George Blanda. Lord knows they need a back-up for David Akers too lol

favre is a tool as a person? how do you know? have you spent time around him and talked to him?

—————————————————–

I have. I live in GB and when Favre was here in the hey day, he used to hang out at one of the bars I worked at. He’s a tool.

You might write that off as it was 97-99 timeframe but consider that many years later — Dong shots to a doppleganger of your wife while she’s fighting cancer pretty much makes you a tool and you don’t need to hang out with the guy to see that.

A non-story. Favre rumors will keep popping up. Let it rest. Eagles do need to consider backup QB situation, though. Vick’s exciting enough to watch, but will get himself hurt at some point.

I can’t think of a sports figure who has fallen from legendary status to total D-bag in such a short time. Well… there’s OJ Simpson and Roger Clemens. Not very good company.

Jon Gruden may be in love with Favre, but the fans have seen right through this tool.

why would Brett wanna sign with the eagles? He wants to have a chance to win another SB, not sit home with the eagles and watch one!!

the eagles are smart business people and they never tell what theyre doing so whenever i hear a report, i just take it with a grain of salt.

favre is a tool as a person? how do you know? have you spent time around him and talked to him? or do you just take what the media gives you and assume the rest?

Rupert Murdoch, don’t try to hack into Andy Reid’s phone to see if Farve sent him a text message. You’ll juts find a picture that includes a wrist watch.

Why wouldn’t you want Favre as a backup, especially if the price is right. We already know Kolb is getting traded so that doesn’t leave much if Vick got hurt.

By: denverdude7

denverdude7 — Sun, 24 Jul 2011 21:26:17 +0000

This can only mean one thing. The contract has been drawn up and is ready for Favre’s signature as soon as the Eaglets trade Kolb somewhere.

That being said, I am sure another NFL team will now float a new rumor to create the impression of competion for his services.

Come to think of it, I heard the Colts were getting ready to contact Favre about becoming a player/coach for them.

Hope the last 3 years was worth it, Brett! You could have stayed in Green Bay, mentored Rodgers and moved to the same back-up role gracefully. You could have been hailed as the best role model in all of sports – but no, you wanted to have it your way, take some silly revenge, send pics of your junk, get faceplanted on the cold Minnesota turf. Hope it was all worth it. Now to go begging for a back-up job – first at Seattle and now with Eagles? How far have you fallen??

The Eagles say they aren’t interested in Favre. Just like Nick Saban said he isn’t going to be the Alabama coach.

The NFL is MUCH more exciting when Brett Favre is playing and I am extremely sad that he will not be returning for another historic season. I grew up watching the NFL (I started when I was 7, I am 23 now) and I have only ever cheered on one quarterback…. Brett Favre.

Farve just needs to send Reid a pic of his junk and show him what he has been missing.

God I hope Glazer is right. I don’t want Favre anywhere near the Eagles.

Howard Eskin Reports: Instead of Favre they will be seeing of Moses of the Bible is available to back up Vick! Seriously though…how old is this guy and why in the WORLD do we want him…maybe as a coach. He would be a great QB coach.

HAHAHA.. whenever Glazer addresses Favre coming back in any way whether via Twitter, online blog or on air I can just HEAR the “FML” in his voice/words.

Think about this…..for many many years, they used to call George Blanda…” The Ancient One ”

Not any more….its Farve…ancient all the way !

It’s funny because Favre is probably sitting at home just as surprised at everybody else at this rumor, but yet idiot posters are still going to blame him for it.
_______________________
Agreed. Never had a problem with people complaining about him not being able to decide if he was really going to retire (though he’s not the first, and won’t be the last that’s true about), but it always baffled and annoyed me the way people (including the media) jumped all over him for the coverage the story got. It’s not like he sent out RSVPs for people to camp out on (or near) his lawn. He’s not the one that flooded the airwaves with Favre stories. The media did all of that, and that was fueled by all the listeners/viewers/clicks media outlets got from fans when they did so. So, if anyone wants to complain about Favre stories, start by blaming yourselves for checking out those stories and responding to them, and then finish up by blaming the media outlets for enabling your Favre addiction. Whether we loved or hated those stories, we checked them out, and in many cases responded. We fueled the Favre hysteria, and as such the blame for it belongs with us and the media.
