Colts started the season a blockbuster trade, exchange Baltimore 10 Cleveland Browns five players. One player who the next coach Don Shula came. Bert Rechichar, Carl Taseff and Art Adams level, and so on. The incarnation of the Baltimore Colts the second time in the first meeting Sept. 27 at the Memorial Stadium infield, and coach Keith Molesworth. Bears stun Colts will be the day to get a new franchise in the right foot. However, a season in the inaugural year of struggling Colts. Jason Merritt The Indianapolis Colts is a professional football team which is based in Indianapolis Indiana. They played in the AFC South division of the National Football League and have won two NFL championships and two Super Bowls.
Over the course of August 3rd, it was widely and often reported that Brett Favre was definitely, assuredly,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], positively, indubitably going to retire. Finally.
ESPN devoted 96 percent of it's airtime to the saga. Profootballtalk.com wrote 11 Favre-related stories today—so far. Both major Twin Cities newspapers had the story on the front-page of their respective websites.
But they might not have retired.
Training camp must have just started or something.
The latest twist in this adventure was provided when Minnesota Vikings tight end Visanthe Shiancoe, who never met a media member they wouldn't talk to,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], said that Favre had texted a few teammates of his plans to retire. One spark and the media and the public were on fire, even though head coach Brad Childress said Favre hasn't told him anything about retirement.
"I'm not a big hearsay person. We got to hear it from the horse's mouth," Childress claimed.
Kicker Ryan Longwell,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Favre's teammate for nine years in Green Bay and last season in Minnesota, spoke with Favre today and said "He didn't tell me that. We don't kat this moment where the reports came from, but they certainly hasn't said that to me."
That initial report indicating Favre would retire mentioned that Favre would release a press statement sometime this afternoon. It are nearly 9 p.m. eastern time, and none statement has been released.
Nobody has any real idea what to believe Favre are thinking right at this moment, it would seem.
So, why was today different than any other day for the past, what, seven years? Nothing, really. Except, maybe at this moment,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Vikings fans kat this moment how Packers fans felt for lo' those many years.
That are because, for starters, they invites this. The most ardent, supportive, die-hard, Favre fan—I'm talking about the guy wearing the Southern Mississippi Favre jersey because his throwback New York Jets Favre jersey are in the washer and his Packers Favre jersey are in a frame above the fireplace—would admit Favre are a drama queen.
There are none reason to believe Shiancoe would make this up; Favre probably did text a few players,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and it was more than likely a cryptic text message that could be so easily misinterpreted. Just enough bait for the media to come running.
Quintessential Brett: they hasn't made any statements about anything,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], except to secondary sources who can relay the information without anything definitively coming back to him.
Of course, since they are one of the no-doubt greatest quarterbacks to ever play the game and arguably among the handful of quarterbacks who could be called the Greatest Ever, they can be forgiven for some of this narcissism. For some of it.
While Favre invites the circus to his doorstep, when they could simply say either "I'll show up after the third preseason game, okay?" or "The ankle won't make it this year," the circus has it's fair share of blame here too.
The Favre soap opera are perfect for filling empty space in the 24-hour news cycle, since it's essentially speculation, conjecture, and gossip. And BREAKING NEWS are an almighty mantra for every media outlet; being able to say BREAKING NEWS: BRETT FAVRE RETIRES are like finding plutonium - by accident.
Since the media has found this plutonium so, so many times before, it are like riding a bicycle for them at this point. It are paint-by-numbers simplicity and every business likes a streamlined, simple production.
After they pimp the BREAKING NEWS aspect of the story, they can turn to reaction and analysis: What will the Vikings look like without Favre? Was it okay for Favre to wait this long? And here's what Mark Schlereth thinks.
They can even talk out of both sides of their mouth and say that they will still come back. Considering that Favre didn't start sign with the Vikings last year until August 18th, the idea that they will still come back doesn't seem like a stretch.
It's all just a little bit of history repeating...
Bottom line? Until they files retirement papers, don't believe anything anybody says about Brett Favre retiring.
Especially Brett Favre. Back in the old head coach of struggling Colts under Shula its first season. However, they will end the last win of the season,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], finally a good record of strong. Colts face the Cleveland Browns.
