A scenario for all you guys. (1 Viewer)

[Section41]

An ESPN article about Brett Favre maybe coming back for the Pack if Aaron Rogers went down brought to mind the following possible scenario:

It is week 10 of the NFL season, up 28-3 and driving for the killer touchdown in the third quarter @ Atlanta, Drew Brees drops back to pass. He sees Marques Colston get free down the field. Suddenly, from behind, a Falcon back-up DT hits Drew Brees while he throws, slamming him down on his throwing shoulder.

Drew Brees lies on the field for up to ten minutes, trainers twisting and shuffling his arm in his pads. Drew's face convulses with agony as his arm is moved laterally. He is hurt bad, and though the Saints currently stand at 7-1, well on their way to being 8-1, the season hangs in the balance.

100 miles from the Saints training facility in Kenner, LA, Brett Favre sits on his couch, enjoying watching his Packers dominate the Vikings for the second time this season. He enjoys a smile with his wife that though he retired, he left a good team and a good legacy behind.

But something interrupts his quiet happiness. His phone rings in the distance, quite unusual for game time. None of his old friends could be calling him NOW, could they?

"Hello?" asks Favre, voice full of confusion.

"Mr. Favre, this is Mickey Loomis. I have a proposition for you."

 

[Section41]

In other words:

If Drew gets hurt, do we start Brunell, or co-opt Brett Favre?

If Brett Favre is returning, he's going back to the Packers. It's just not the same with him on any other team.

Did Colston catch the ball?

If Brett Favre is returning, he's going back to the Packers. It's just not the same with him on any other team.

With the words of rejection still ringing in his ears, Loomis hits the "END" button on his phone. Sighing in one long breath, he presses the other number he had on speed-dial for just this scenario...

[ring....ring]"Hello?"

"Hello Vinny? This is Mickey..."

 

[feoinfunroe]

<...the conversation continues...>

"Yes, Vinny, I think we...oh hold on, someone's beeping in..."

[poink]

"Hello?"

"Yes, hello, Mr. Loomis! This is Aaron Brooks! Hey, I was watching the game...gee, tough break! Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I am ready to go if you need me! I've been working every day with my cousin Marcus, and I'm loose and ready..."

[poink]

"Sorry about that, Vinny, where were we..."

 

[Section41]

What ever happened to Mr. Brooks? Is he really out of the NFL for good? I mean, is he done? So much potential. So much starting experience. And he just took his ball and went home?

According to Wikipedia, AB tried a work out with the Packers in November.

If the saints were a baseball team this would work. Since the Saints don't play baseball, by week ten you have to stick with the players that know the playbook.

 

[Bobaganoosh]

not to mention that Favre is still property of the Packers...he wouldnt be free to just join the Saints without the Packers getting some sort of compensation.

100 miles from the Saints training facility in Kenner, LA,

Where is this new facility located and why did they shut the one in Metairie down? Was Benson right after all, Katrina and the Corps of Engineers really did leave it un-useable?

 

[mmule]

Just go w/ Brunell.

Yes, this pretty much kills this nightmare senario... The Packers still have Favre's rights just as the Bucs still have Jake Plummer's rights.
