Shutdown Corner - NFL

It's an uncertain time for people who thirst for Brett Favre memorabilia. No one knows if it's time to splurge for the breathtaking Favre painting as a way to remember him forever, get some "Favre 08" merchandise, or perhaps explore some alternate Favre possibilities.

If you're the action figure type, though, here's one that might be a good option for the '08 season:

Brett Favre, on the bench, watching someone else play football.

Aaron Rodgers has ordered 45 of these, and he likes to set them up in his front lawn, while he runs around and performs drills in front of them, all the while screaming:

"Look at that, Brett! It's Aaron Rodgers time now! How do you like watching ME, old man?! Wooo! And Rodgers takes the snap, he drops back, evades a defender because he's young and has healthy knees, and it's a touchdown pass by Aaron Rodgers! Wooo! A touchdown, Brett, as in, not an interception! And Rodgers celebrates without the need for painkillers!"

And then he kicks the Favre figurine and yells, "Suck on that, grandpa."

But that's just him. You could use the action figure in any way you'd choose.

    ok MJD your starting to look like John Madden with all this Brett Favre obsession. Brett Favre is cool and all but take it easy with all this Brett Favre crap.

    This boy is the epitome of today's athlete. Big ego, spoiled,
    I wanna talk about me, wanna talk about I, wanna talk about no. 1, oh my me my.
    This indivudual has already hurt the Packers by playing last year. The Packers were a couple of years away from making a run. Rodgers needed the playing time. The team needed it to grow. Considering the window for winning a Super Bowl can be as small as a year this boy, Brett Farce. probably cost the Packers a championship. Rodgers will be at least a year behind the rest of the team.

    Sorry, I did not find the humor in this.. I am a BIG Packer fan, but Rodgers is accident prone!!! When he gets hurt, he does not play....you can not say that about Favre!!! He is still out there dislocated shoulder, elbow whatever!!! Favre has always been for the team...I am sure he loves the attention, but who would not!! Cocky? True, but I have met people that have just as bad as an attitude because who they are!!! I say let the guy play!!! If not let him go to where he wants!! It would be sad to see him go to another team, but anyone would take him in an instant because of his records & he is one great GB!!!! I just hope we do not have another "Grossman" now playing for the Packers!!!
    BRING FAVRE BACK!!!!!!!

    Seems no matter how much money a redneck from Northeast Louisiana has, he can't go out with class, pride, and dignity and be on record as a great one. Grow up Brett, you have everything to gain by retiring and nothing to gain by staying, unfortunately you have already made a fool of yourself in the media. Wherever you go you are going to be expected to be better than great, hope you're up to it.

    I understand if you wind the doll up, it can't decide whether to retire or not.

    I used to like Farve just as much as anybody but I am sick of Farve pretending to retire and then not really doing it. I think that Farve has cried "wolf" too many times. He announces retirement and then come football season, he is coming back. Its getting old!!! I think that GB is doing the right thing by allowing someone else to be QB. STAY GONE FARVE....RETIRE FOR GODS SAKE.

    Farve should give it up...he took drugs the hole time while playing...his record for the most game played should be taken off the books....I guess he needs to come back and play to get more DRUGS...

    hawk...dont post anything if you dont know what youre talking about. you probably dont know what a quarterback does. he took vicadin and admitted it, unlike most athletes. he put himself in rehab and recovered. that was back in the mid 90s...not his whole career. youre probably a viking, bears, or lions fan so you would say that or some other fan of a team that couldnt win against favre.

    Dude,
    I am sooooo hoping that Favre calls the Packers' bluff and show up for Packers' training camp. The sadistic side of me wants him to cause a lot of drama and intrigue for Aaron Rodgers and the Packers. While I still think he will suit up for another team sooner than later (paging Dr. Vikings), this drama is too good to come to an end any time soon.
