Default Mortensen: No coincidence, no Moss in GB, no Favre

That's what Mort reported on ESPN Mike and Mike a few minutes ago. He quit the day it became clear that Moss re-upped with N.E. What are we going to do now without Sir/St. Brett's waffling every winter?

Make waffles.

I find that ridiculous by the way. If Favre wasn't so AWFUL in the game against the Giants they would have made the Super Bowl. They were definately good enough to make it last year, the reason they didn't was FAVRE.

I smell an 'unretirement' announcement in the next couple months.

Good for the Packers though. Aaron Rodgers has done his time on the sidelines, looked solid in his fill in performances, and the team as a whole is young.
No need to drop $30-$35M for a 1-2 year shot.

So says Mort, anyways. Something tells me that Favre wasn't going to retire just because they didn't get Moss. It's not like his receivers last year were total scrubs.

What a big crybaby. How the hell do you end such a great career on this type of note. I think he was done anyways but it's so lame to bame it on the FO not getting a player they had no shot at anyways.

I agree...this is just another made up media fantasy. What a load of crap. Green Bay has a GREAT receiver corps. What an insult to them. Brett blew it in the NFCCG by reverting back to his happy go lucky football flinging self.

Totally agreed.

I think it would be a shame if Favre ended his HOF career because of anything other than that he simply felt better about retiring than playing another football season.

Brett = Brat... see what I did there, by changing a few letters around? It nearly looks the same......... and he would be acting like a brat if he retired because they didn't sign a star WR...... right?

You're assuming that what Mort said is anything more than baseless speculation. I have a very hard time believing that it is.

Look at the different approach that Tedy B took Vs Lord Brett in announcing his decision. It seems that Lord Brett makes a circus show out of this each year. Do you really think he is not comingback after making it to the NFC Finals last year. The guy is a blowhard. Tedy B quietly said a decision would come soon and then boom it is done. I am so tired of all the Lord Brett Assss kissing.....

If I recall his WRs led the NFL in YAC. Maybe someone can confirm but they were leading late in the season. If anything they made him look good.
