Bret Favre does not make the Bucs a better team.  The logical purpose for bringing him in would be to win a championship, not pad his deservedly Hall of Fame stats.  Farve was at his best under Holmgren, who forced him to be disciplined.  Gruden does not have that much stroke.  The Tampa offense is ball control, timing, and short passes.  Farve holds on to the ball looking for that highlight reel pass that often gets his receivers a vicious, decleating hit.  Our receivers are not built to take those hits.

Unless the Favre trade is step one in a deal that sends Farve and Cadillac WIlliams to Minnesota in exchange for Adrian Peterson and Jared Allen, it doesn’t make Tampa a better team.

Uh Oh. Now you’ve done it. Brought out those D@mn Buckeye fans. Well at least he didn’t mention Appalachian State & Michigan. Go Dexter Jackson. He’s at the 40..the 30…the 20…the 10…Touchdown Tampa Bay!.

Db what are you a Michigan Fan.  How’s that working out for you.  Michigan will lose again this year to The Ohio State University.

I can’t believe the way Garcia has been treated by just about every team he’s been on.  San Francisco, Detroit, Philly, now Tampa Bay.  Yet he’s a warrior that plays hurt and makes other’s around him better.  I don’t get it.

DB, thanks for clearing up the malcheski issue. I was wondering how long before someone took a shot at the Buckeyes. It’s a good thing Favre didn’t play High School ball in Massillon or QB for Ohio State. They would have burned the place to the ground for less than what Ted Thomson has done. This is most definitely America’s Game.

I would love it if Favre landed in Tampa, I’m a firm believer that if you can add a piece to your roster that can help you win now, you have to do it. Shame for Jeff though, because he’s really done nothing wrong but could end up being replaced by a future hall of famer. If Favre is supposedly the missing piece in the Pack - Superbowl run, then I can see the Bucs taking the NFC this season if he comes. A 4th rounder and Chris Simms should do it.

michael malcheski-

You make absolutely no sense, so take your weak sauce somewhere else. You must be a buckeyes fan, which would explain your lack of intelligence.

the responses i recieved all show error? past Packers—Unless you knew them from in your face, do not Question my short comment..~M~

Posted by  Steve, Milwaukee on 08/06  at  11:51 AM

The Packers didn’t put him up to that March press conference?
They asked for an answer b4 the draft, that sounds like they put him up to it to me.
What would you know about the situation out in NJ anyway?
Go Bucs!
Go Brett!
I’m a Packer fan but I don’t pledge blind allegiance to a franchise that is not doing what’s best for the team to win. Instead they are doing what is best for Ted Thompson and his “legacy” which includes wasting a top 20 pick on Justin Harrell two years ago when they could’ve gotten the stiff in the third round or later!

Good post JJ. Back to work 4 me 2. Pack fans we have new homes starting in the low $200’s. Come on down, but don’t wait til season. Prices are going up fast.

Steve from Milwaukee;
You are a “class act”...way to represent!!  <sigh>

I love all this craziness that is going on here @ planet Bucdom!!! Bring on #4 and his gunslinger reputation…I look forward to a new sheriff in town!! We will welcome the new fans to the planet…yes, cheeseheads included!!

Bucs Fans:
“IF” you get him, enjoy the ride; up or down, it will be fun!!  Again, Brett is a great Q.B. and will be fun to have as part of your community.  He and his wife Deanna are wonderful ambassadors of the game and are sure to be active members of the Tampa-area community.  Bring you kleenex to the games; you will be shedding both tears of joy and tears of pain.
We will miss Brett, but sometimes it’s just time to get out and “start dating again”..  Go Pack!!!!
Last post…gotta go

Hey Kleyster, enjoy your ice & frozen tundra. Loyalty gets you squat. Ask John Lynch.

Posted by  Bonnie Akridge, Haddon Heights, NJ on 08/06  at  11:32 AM

Steve sorry to say but I don’t think the Pack put him up to his own press conference a month after the SB last year only to inform the football world he hadn’t decided on his future yet. You better believe he’s a damn media whore.

Posted by  chaz, Tampa on 08/06  at  11:30 AM

Garcia has his strengths being mobile, and great game manager and puts himself out-there. Garcia, Brad Johnson have their differences and are both great Brad has a ring and better Qb rating over his career. The point is none of these guys were big risk takers they manage the game and get wins. However i look and just managing the game is the offensive equivalent to the prevent defense.

  At the end of the day when it’s fourth down and long 15 seconds left in the game and your down by 6 who do you want behind center?

Posted by  chaz, Tampa on 08/06  at  11:29 AM

let me interject here again. Garcia has been great for tampa although we lost the playoff game. The real game difference in Favre and Garcia is that     Garcia is more mobiel. However he does not command the same respect from defenders on the field that Favre does. Simply because Favre is a risk taker and that is how you become great. Yes has has a lot of int’s. That just means that he is willing to put it all on the line. If you are afraid to be great you never will be. And Afriad is something Favre is not. I think as Bucs Fans we have forgotten the days of seeing him twice a season. And last season was one of his best yet.

Posted by  Kleyster,  on 08/06  at  11:28 AM

I’ve been a Packers fan since the days of Bart Starr, Jim Taylor, Max McGee and Vince Lombardi, etc.  I’didn’t become a Packers fan because of Brett Farve. It’s clear that the great majority of Packers (team) fans want Farve to go.  He’s simply worn out his welcome. The Brett Farve (player)fans are bitter because they’re Brett Farve fans and not Packers fans.  My advice to them is get off, and stay off the Packers bandwagon.

Posted by  Steve, Milwaukee on 08/06  at  11:28 AM

Favre a media whore?????
All I’ve ever seen him do is the press conferences that the Packers obligated to and the national commercials Brett has done.
Most of the “fans” here like JJ in Oshkosh have heads full of cheese and beer so take that into consideration when reading their posts. Not to mention the toxic fumes from the cow $hit that lingers over areas like Oshkosh!

Posted by  BigBucFan, Sarasota on 08/06  at  11:26 AM

Hey Pack Fans, no offense but Buc Fans don’t care about the what’s, why’s & how’s of the Pack. All we care about is #4 & his guns. Bart Starr, Ted Thomson, McCarthy, 20 below 0…nobody cares. 75 degrees & flip flops. Move to Tampa. Come on down guys. Share your tailgate recipes. Have a Beast on the House or a Bud.

Posted by  Steve, Milwaukee on 08/06  at  11:24 AM

I guess I’ll finally have to buy a Bucs #4 jersey!
Brett was treated unfairly by Ted Thompson since the first day Thompson came to GB.
I hope the Bucs trade for Brett and he leads them to the SB.
I would LOVE to see Brett and the Bucs whoop the Packers in the NFC championship game and proceed to the SB.
Best of luck, we love Brett!
