What the hell? I disagree with anyone who says that Lord Favre should take as much time as He wants because He's a future HOFer. BFD. He's one of many players on the team, and lately, His action have shown He is selfish.

- Late last year He said he may retire if the team fired Sherman and didn't want to learn a new offensive system.
- Said He's waiting to see how much Thompson improves the team via FA. Who the hell does Lord Favre think he is? Greater than the GM?
- He keeps pushing back the deadline when to make a decision. And recently He was quoted "What are they gonna do, cut me?" That's easily a sign of selfishness, and someone who thinks He is greater than the team.


And He's hurting the team by not making a decision, when the team could sign a vetern QB. Why would Kerry Collins (or any vetern QB) want to sign with Green Bay if Lord Favre may come back and be on the bottom of the depth chart?


Oh, and this is coming from a Packer fan.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

A long time coming. But good to see a choice has finally been made.

More like it was official when the schedule came out.


And Charles Woodson signed with the Pack (too bad BucPride )! With ZERO signing bonus. His first year salary is $10.5 million because the Pack have so much cap room.


In other news, the Vikes new uniform sucks big time.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Lord Styphon and Night Phoenix:
I love how you folks think you know better than the Houston Texans on whom to draft. Never mind the fact that NFL teams spend hours upon hours studying college players for months. I suppose if you 2 know so much, then why aren't the both of you working for an NFL team as a scout or GM?



Anyway, with the 5th pick, I hope Ted Thompson takes the best player available regardless of position. Don't commit the cardinal sin of drafting: drafting for need.

Most amazing jew boots

Also, the sportswriters appear agree with my opinion in this case. Richard Justice's column on the Chronicle sports section's front page says it all: "Bypassing Bush smacks of stupidity".

I would assume that these people, who have been covering sports for years, and who would need to do research on their stories (like ones about draft prospects), would know something about what they're talking about.

And what they're saying is that the Texans screwed up royally.

Okay, I'm replying to your post 5643456456 years too late, but whatever.

Are you serious? You and the media know better than the Texans? Get serious.

I'm in no position to offer reasons why drafting Mario Williams was the better choice. In fact, I NEVER SAID Williams was the better pick. I said we know nothing about scouting players coming out of college. We don't work for a NFL team. We don't spent 24/7 all year round scouting, attending practices and interviewing players.

Making judgment on a draft pick is like judging a game before it has started.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
