Brett Favre Coming Back?
Looks like the sojourn of the NFL's second most-prolific team-killer is maybe not quite at an end.
Brett Favre is apparently considering a second return to the NFL (in two years) as he's been removed from the retired list and the Jets have waived him.
The move Tuesday night means the Jets no longer hold the rights to Favre, who spent one disappointing season in New York. The 39-year-old Favre had requested the move several weeks ago through agent Bus Cook, but insisted he has no plans to come out of retirement for a 19th season.
Favre said in a statement he had no intention of returning to football.
Yeah, right...and Favre was "done" with football at his teary press conference in early 2008. And he was "done" with football when he didn't want to get arthroscopic surgery on his arm last year (after killing the Jets' season down the stretch with shoddy and selfish play). And I'm sure he's "done" with football now...at a time when the team he wanted to sign with all along (the Vikings) is still in need of a quarterback and are being touted as championship contenders.
My prediction for this year is that unless the Vikings decide that Favre's too washed-up to play, we'll see him in a Minnesota uniform this season if Favre has anything to say about it. Only question I have is, does waiving Brett Favre release the New York Jets from their "poison pill" clause if Favre signs with the Vikings? Does anyone know if the terms of the trade included the possibility of Favre getting waived?

This may be an retarted question
but who is the NFL’s most prolific team killer?
Marley will be walking soon...she could probably play Linebacker better than some of the guys we had.

Thats easy.
Al Davis.

Vick?

Vick's Not In The League
So he doesn’t count. He wasn’t as bad as Owens, though…that guy is the ultimate team cancer. Frankly, I thought he cost the Eagles that Super Bowl he played in…he was given such a huge cushion from the DB that even a healthy FredEx could have gotten 200 yards against that coverage. And Owens was clearly less than 100%…his lack of agility due to the injury appeared to severely limit his yards after the catch.
Predictions for 2009
1. Todd Haley's going to struggle with managing his staff in his rookie year as head coach.
2. The Lions will draft Matt Stafford, the Rams will draft Jason Smith, and the Chiefs will draft either Aaron Curry or Eugene Monroe.
3. Maurice Carthon will be the most hated man on the Chiefs' coaching staff within two years.

What?!
As much as I agree with you about being a team killer, I have to say I disagree about you in regards to the superbowl that he played in. The guy came back about 2 months sooner than he should have and was the most dominant receiver in the game. I remember on the first play of the eagles first drive, he caught a quick pass from McNabb and then proceeded on throwing the defensive back out of bounds.
I don’t believe that this would have changed the game, but if you are going to blame any player on the eagles team for the loss, it would be without question McNabb and his poor game management in the fourth quarter.
As big of an idiot as TO is, he is still plays football because he loves the game (unlike players like Ocho, Ricky Wiliiams, etc…) and in my personal opinion, is still quite dominant.

Ah.
Clearly T.O. or Vick. Possibly Ryan Leaf or Joey Harrington? Not in the way of doing things on purpose to hurt the team, just sucking that bad to set a franchise back so far.

Only Talking Current Players
Vick and Leaf are out of the league, and Harrington wasn’t a team killer…just a terrible QB. He didn’t cause nearly the problems that Owens did with his teams. Among all-time players, I think Leaf is right up there, though.

Off the top of my head I would think Pacman Jones
but I have actually read that he is a good locker room player, so I’m going to go with T.O. he’s in his own league. Chad Johnson might come in second.

If You Consider Favre A Current Player (And I Do, Until He Sits Out A Year)
I don’t think he comes close to Ocho Stinko for destructiveness. He doesn’t go after teammates like TO and Favre had, his teams haven’t been as reliant on him as they were on Owens and Favre (Johnson had Houshmandzadeh to take some heat) and he doesn’t polarize the fan base or locker room like Owens or Favre.
Owens, to my mind, is the worst team cancer by far. Favre’s solidly in second place though…he’s a hypocrite, he’s undermined teammates who he perceived to be a threat to his standing, he’s constantly used his popularity with the fanbase to try and blackmail his team…even if there wasn’t any contract angle in it, even if it was just about his personal neediness. And since Mike Holmgren left Green Bay Favre’s basically the kind of player who will play well enough to get you to the big game, but will screw you on the big stage because he’s more interested in being the hero than actually winning the game. The Favre that played under Holmgren was a clear Hall-of-Fame QB. The post-Holmgren Favre is a player I wouldn’t want anywhere near a team that I root for.

1. Todd Haley's going to struggle with managing his staff in his rookie year as head coach.
2. The Lions will draft Matt Stafford, the Rams will draft Jason Smith, and the Chiefs will draft either Aaron Curry or Eugene Monroe.

The question was....
Who is the leagues most prolific team killer…
It has nothing to do with performance. Al Davis has taken his team to a superbowl or 5, and even managed to win. Al Davis has just gotten old, and refuses to live anywhere but the past. There was a time in the NFL when running the ball to suck in the defense and then throwing it up deep behind them was all the rage. It used to be the formulia to win, not anymore. Davis is holding on to late 80’s football and therefore is ruining his team. But, he’s only kiklling one team.
T.O. started in San Fran comming off the back of the Montana/Young era of greatness. Garcia (who has proven again and again in the NFL that he is capable of winning) was his QB. He trashed Garcia in the media, the locker room, and on the practive field. His relationship with his QB was so bad that the team was forced to make a choise between the 2. The team chose TO (bad move, and the begining of the San Fran downfall). After a time San Fran finally opened their eyes to what a huge cancer TO was to the locker room and they moved him to Philly. It was too late by that point.
T.O. moved on to Philly where McNabb was his QB. Once again T.O. fought with his QB. He trashed him in the media, the locker room, and the press. The fued was very public and very hateful. T.O. did what T.O. does; he produces on the field and tears the team to shreads from the inside out. T.O. absolutely refuses to be anything less than the #1 unchallenged face of the franchise. No one else is allowed to get any credit for anything, and it’s all about me me me not about the team. A strong team was once again torn appart by T.O. Philly had to make a choise between their QB and their receiver, and off to Dallas he went.
T.O. arrives in Dallas, and just like he did in Philly he layed low for the first season to prove that he could be a team player. Once again he produced on the field, but once again his head swelled to the size of a watermelon. It didn’t take long for us to start hearing about T.O. in the press every weekend. "Get your popcorn ready, " because he’s going to put on a show. The team isn’t going to put on a show, T.O. is. No one is allowed to get more press than T.O., and when they do he takes a handfull of pills and fakes the suicide attempt. He doesn’t want to die, he wants to be the center of attention. As the team starts to spread the ball around to Clayton and Whitten because the 30+ year old legs just can’t get the seperation from the double teams like they used to, and the foot injuries are starting to add up (see Giant Vs. Cowboys third meeting in 2007 for proof of that) T.O. is right back to his old tricks. Posion the locker room saying the team CANNOT win if they don’t throw him the ball. Challenge other players on the team and accuse them of being part of a conspiricy to hold him back, and berate your QB (who already has confidence issues in big games) openly on the field and in the press. Once again T.O. tears the team unity to shreads on and off the field, because it’s not about the team. It’s about me me me. Replay of San Fran and Philly…. join the team, destroy the team, move on to another team.
T.O. has already killed 3 teams. Al Davis has only killed 1, and it’s his team to kill. It’s not even a contest of who is the bigger team killer. You have got to be able to seperate on field production from team destroying antics. T.O. will have a weak willed young QB that has never won anything in Buffalo. That means that T.O. gets to walk in the door as the BMOC that can be the star from day one. He will be (as his ego demands) the big cheese. No one will be allowed to get more praise or press than T.O., and if the QB starts getting the praise for winning games you can be your ass that T.O. will undermine him in the locker room too. Winning regular season games probably sells tickets, but that’s all T.O. will ever be: A team killing cancer that can sell tickets while destroying QB’s and griping the spotlight with a stranglehold of a grip. With T.O. it will NEVER be about the team. It will always be about T.O.

I almost agree about the T.O thing
But here is the way I look at it any team can just throw away T.O and move on. As for al davis yes he has ruined only one team but he is ruining a franchise. All the fan that support the raiders are suffering from his horrible decisions. And i dont even know how they have fans with his off the wall attitude toward coaches and decision making. I would have hit the road a long time ago . But some how the raiders still have fans. I dont get it. And on top of that al davis family is going to be running the show pretty soon so its not looking no better for that franchise once al dies. I know T.O is a cancer but he still contributes to the team. He makes big plays and at times is unstoppable . But the bottom line he is not ruining an entire franchise year after year he is actually taking teams to the super bowl where as all davis is ruining football standards.

The Raiders under Davis have faired much better than that.

He’s been released outright so there is no poison pill. I think it was that Favre’s price tag would be three 1st rounders if he went to any NFC North team.

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/45027-brett-favres-trade-details
The New York Jets acquire Brett Favre. The Packers get a fourth round pick if Brett plays under 50 percent of the snaps in 2008.
If Favre plays over 50 percent of the snaps it becomes a third round pick. If Favre plays 70 percent of the snaps and makes the playoffs it becomes a second round pick. If the Favre plays 80 percent of the snaps and the Jets make the Super Bowl it becomes a first round pick.
However, there is one more clause. If Favre is traded to the Vikings, the Jets owe the Packers three first round picks
That’s what that link says, I can’t find anything about the clause covering wavers, but I’m sure the details are much more in depth.

That Was A Terrible Trade For Indianapolis
They signed a franchise QB, then dumped the left tackle and WR they needed to develop him into a franchise QB. In fairness to George, he absolutely got the crap kicked out of him during his time in Indianapolis. He was one of the league leaders in sacks every year because he had such pathetic protection.

Based on all the crap he pulled last year. Plus, he counts $13 million against their cap if they keep him…the only reason he didn’t was because he was on their retired list. And they can’t trade him to the one team he wants to play for.
There’s no advantage to the Jets in keeping him and plenty of reasons to think he’ll be a problem child if they do.

I agree.
I think Favre is done this time around. He’ll hang out of the spotlight like he’s doing now for a while, just long enough for people to forget about last season, and then he’ll start popping up again…but just as a personality, not playing for any team. Favre certainly has a bit of an ego, but I think you’re making more out of it than is really there.

I think it’s just that he’s one of those old athletes who can’t quit because he can’t imagine his life without football and adulation.
I suspect that when Favre is actually done, probably when no team will even consider giving him a contract (as opposed to it being his choice), he’s really going to struggle with his life after football.

The one Gene Upshaw referred to as Brett FA-VOR when he was drafted? ;-)
NFL network kept replaying that announcement over and over again this last weekend during the draft. I thought it was funny.
To make matters worse, they had a group of guys tell the draft pick announcer at the podium the player names pronunciation so as not to screw things up….during the third round he said:
“The St. Louis Cardinals select…” I thought that was pretty funny…anyone catch that?
