Free Agency 2009: Day 1 Update

Who is this guy? Read on.

Who is this guy? Read on. Being that we are totally anal about everything Green Bay Packers here at Total Packers (hence the name Total Packers, I guess), we have been keeping a close eye on all the free agent developments since the league’s business year began last night. And… It’s been a whirlwind first [...]

Favre Makes it Official, Flips Ted the Bird

Brett Favre

There’s a lot of speculation out there that Brett Favre’s retirement from the New York Jets this week might not take. After all, we’ve seen the “retire”/unretire scenario play out before, less than a year ago with the Green Bay Packers. This time, however, it’s official.

Brett Favre Retires, One Year Too Late

Brett Favre is introduced as a New York Jet

Brett Favre has informed the New York Jets he plans to retire. As all of you recall, he also told the Green Bay Packers the same thing last offseason, but sources think Favre is done for good this time. ESPN, which is home to all things Brett Favre, broke the story this morning and included [...]

Favre Finished?

Brett Favre

I feel stupid even writing it, because no one knows what King Brett Favre is going to do. Frankly, I could care less.

Brett Favre: Something Isn’t Quite Right Here

Brett Favre

That was the thought that kept running through my head yesterday as I watched Brett Favre throw the ball around in a New York Jets uniform. It wasn’t just the non-familiar uniform though. It was the whole way Brett carried himself. Brett is a boisterous, excitable guy, which is part of the reason we loved [...]

Brett Favre, A Love Affair Gone Sour

Favre Jets

There’s no doubt Brett Favre is and always will be an iconic figure in Green Bay Packers lore. However, there are also some bad feelings floating around Titletown these days. I had a chuckle at the image above. Meanwhile, in Waukesha, a family burned all of their Brett Favre memorabilia. They even went so far [...]

No One Wants Brett

Brett Favre

No one wants Brett Favre. Well, except for the scumbag, tampering Minnesota Vikings and probably Jon Gruden. Brett filed his reinstatement papers today, which will essentially force the beloved Green and Gold’s hand one way or another. Meddler and NFL commissioner, Roger Goodell, meanwhile, said he wouldn’t act for 24 hours in hopes that the [...]
