"DNL found out your IP address, so stop BSing. Now your account creation is blocked."

No way. I tried right away to sign up under a new user name once the original ban was in place and it wouldn't let me. No way in hell did I create a new user. No way the IP addresses match. You can't do it! Give it a try... have an admin block you and try to sign up under a new name... you can't! If you just don't won't me back then fine, but to make up a reason to ban me is another. What about this JR Lives dude, he probably has no idea what's going on and I don't want to think I'm the reason he can't post here.

Brett's Retirement Speech

What are your thoughts on Brett's speech? Is there possibly a more honest, respected, unselfish, professional athlete EVER in the history of sports? To actually worry about the money that Green Bay spent on him, to make sure that people understand that is hasn't always been about him, but about the sport, the organization, the fans, and the team. That the records he holds were not just due to his accomplishments but because of the accomplishments of the team.

You may or may not like the Green Bay Packers. You may or may not think that Brett is the greatest QB in football history. But seriously, how can you not RESPECT Brett Favre? Even if you are a Bears fan, the one man you "hated the most" was the same man you wished played on your team.

Yes, this is another love fest Brett Favre article. To me Brett's the best. To me Brett's the best professional athleten in history. He portrays what is good and respectful in sports. No drama. No conflict. No "look at me". No "I'm the best". No "show me the money". No bullshit. Sports are about Brett Favre. Brett Favre is sports.  He is unlike any athlete, in any sport, ever, and he is the definition of a "professional". If only the rest could follow in his footsteps.......  

Brett Favre. The Greatest "Professional Athlete" in Sports History. You will be missed. Football will never be the same. Green Bay will never be the same. Hell, cheese will never taste the same. God Bless you Brett Favre.

From a fan who respects you and everything that you have accomplished and done for the game of football.

"Frank Stevenson"

I know exactly what you mean, Frank. Even if you a Bears fan, there is absolutely NO WAY you can disrespect Brett Favre. That would just be obnoxious. He was the face of the NFL for quite some time. Even if you a Bears fan, even though you hate Favre, you can still respect him. I respect Derek Jeter for what he has done with the Yankees, and the way that he plays/played the game actually makes me like him as a player (I don't like to think of him as a Yankee).

Frank... I just used Jeter as an example of why Favre should be respected. I'm not saying that Jeter should be compared to Favre. Hell, Jeter isn't even the best shortstop in the MLB right now. He probably never was... except for maybe one year. I'm just saying that Bears fans should respect him for what he has done, like how I respect Jeter for the minor things (compared to Favre) that he has done.

The only thing missing from Brett's sincere retirement speech was.... "I love John Madden. And I'd like all of you to love him too. And tonight, you hit your knees: Please ask God to love him."

For me, only Yzerman can compare to Favre in terms of his loyalty and attitude to the game. He'll be sadly missed.

At 7:39 - he wanted to throw fewer interceptions. I'll forgive him that one. :)
