[...] (besides maybe [and that's maybe] the Oakland Raiders)? Well those same Chiefs are at their inept ways again, this time considering bringing Brett Favre in, instead of giving mop-topped third-year man Brodie [...]

Merlinnj, good point; but I think it has more to do with work ethic than elite players. The elite players pour their hearts out for a long time, at a very high level of play. When it comes time to hang up the pads, they either A, have lost the desire to be in the game under any circumstances, B, have enough money that they just don’t want to do anything stressful like coaching, or C, they just don’t want to? It’s not exactly an easy job.. And takes a special kind of guy to stay that long doing everything they have to do. However, the somewhat good players that ended up being just ‘decent’ over their careers, but had an excellent work ethic (Herm Edwards is a good example) end up being able to handle the larger workload. For one, they don’t have enough money to grow fat and lazy with, or they still have the passion for the game, since they didn’t ‘burn themselves out’ like some of the more elite players… That’s about all I can come up with.

Curt, I can’t take too much credit for the image. It was my concept, but Zach is the one who always brings such visions to fruition with his PhotoShop magic.

I’m thinking Dick Curl has the chops to be Igor. Denny Thum would also have to be up for consideration, as after King Carl he probably cares most about ticket sales in the front office. Plus, he’s kind of goofy. Not gonna lie.

Adam… LUV the Dr. Favrenstein art… I was just wondering who the hunchback would be in King Carls LaH-BOR-etory?

SeanBcool: I agree with you about him being done, but I’m ambivalent about the release rumors – I haven’t seen anyone of the talking heads on ESPN or elsewhere categorically state Bret has really asked for his release.

As to whether or not he would play elsewhere – who really knows what he would do if a contender made a run at him with a passle of cash and were willing to negotiate his rights from the Packers… strange things happen in the world of fantasy cash…

Untimately I suspect you are correct about him staying retired – and not so much by his choice, but because I think he’s probably very intrigued by the prospect of playing again for the fans and teammates in Green Bay. But coming back to play for Bucs or the Falcons or some team in the AFC… I’m pretty sure that doesn’t hold the same kind of fantasy allure for Bret that Green Bay does. The silence coming from Packers mgmt is deafening. I think he’s done.

Wow, this is an intriguing thread complete with Favre love, Brodie bashing, Montana comparing and a dash of dump on Damon. IMO, Favre has a 75% chance of playing this year and a almost 0% chance of playing for the Chiefs. I do not think he would be interested in the Chiefs and I would not be interested in him. IMO, Favre will not come here for two reasons. 1] He will want to start for a team with a chance to win the SB and 2] He will want to run a similar offense to what he ran in GB. The second point is huge. Montana came to the Chiefs because we, at that time, met both of those criteria. Today, we do not meet either one for Favre. To me, this is a non-starter.

Oh, a point about mentoring. If the best players are the best teachers (implied in the Favre will mentor Brodie better than Damon will discussion), then answer this question. How come the best coaches and managers were generally not elite players? You can pick your sport (hint, basketball is your best bet) and find a few. However, by and large this holds true.

CurtMerzFan:

Favre has reportedly requested his release from Green Bay. Don’t be so sure that he will suit up (if at all) in a Packers uniform this year.

Personally, I don’t believe that Favre will play another down in the NFL. I think he was for real when he said he was done. But the guy has done some pretty unbelievable things in the past.
