TheKillerNacho Posted Wednesday at 02:42 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 02:42 AM I'll leave this open but this discussion needs to be about football and not about Favre's personal affairs and especially not about other posters. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G Posted Wednesday at 03:26 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 03:26 AM Terrible news and made me think about if I had it or a loved one. The article I read said it affects about 500,000 Americans and I thought no way...Has to be more than that because I've known so many myself...Park/Dem/Lou's/Alz/Cancer they all suck! How this affects football over the years is if Favre is seen going downhill fast then more players might leave the game early trying to stay healthier than an extra few more seasons. Aaron Donald comes to mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, Brett Favre is a great example to counter the claim that QBs need to be smart to be great. If Brett Favre can be a top-10 all time QB, then there are no lower limits on intelligence for the QB position. And I'm not saying anything about him as a person or whatever Yeah. Sure you're not. Stay classy. Anyway.... Football cannot cause this condition FYI. I can't speak to what bad things he has or hasn't done in his life, but feeling pretty sure he doesn't deserve this.

Calamity_Cometh Posted Wednesday at 02:04 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 02:04 PM Parkinsons sucks. Close relative has it. Wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger murdock Posted Thursday at 03:02 AM Share Posted Thursday at 03:02 AM My grandpa had it. It sucks. Having said that, using it to milk sympathy when on trail is some Harvey Weinstein with a walker BS. Own up to being a thief and go to jail like a man. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you say DeShaun Watson or Aaron Hernandez (if he were still alive) deserve it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that point, no punishment is too severe as far as I'm concerned. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is to have sympathy for what led up to the conditions of murder while still realizing they're a terrible person for what they chose to do. When you murder other people who commit murder, you are no better than the murderers. Anyway football. MURDER IS BAD. Brett Favre deserves some sympathy as well since while he makes terrible choices and we can all sympathize with making terrible life choices.

If I had killed Dahmer or Ramirez, do you seriously think that'd put me on the same level as someone who murders children? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's simple math. 23 minutes ago, DawgX said: Dexter Morgan would disagree... AND dexter ended terribly. Really need to re-watch that. Meh you can fantasize about murdering people all you want doesn't change the fact you're still a murderer. Also vigilante justice just gets us the crazy whackos trying to kill vigilantes. ANYWAY. Brett Favre really needs a much better PR guy cause holy **** he's struggling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when he was the lovable old guard in the league that people were amazed was still going. Well, stealing money from the poorest people in America will change people's thoughts about you.
