A goodbye to Favre in haiku.

[Catshrink]

This might be premature but the way the Vikings are fumbling around on the field, probably not. Let's post haikus to tell him goodbye -- the retirement drama is about to begin again.

Rest your mighty arm
On your Mississippi farm
Permanently please.

[JonLP24]

1. Barring a missed PAT

28-28.

[GOPisEvil]

2. Change that to Mississippi.

And the game is tied again. So, you might have some time to work on that yet. :)

[Catshrink]

3. Oops, my bad.

Yeah, the Vikes came back. This is thrilling.

[pokerfan]

4. Now you can post it

31-28

[KG]

5. bye bye brett

2 picks and a fumble. choker.

[Catshrink]

7. Pants on the ground, pants on the ground....

[Capn Sunshine]

6. Haiku v 2.0

Your old body failed
A valiant warrior fallen
live and die, the sword.

[KamaAina]

8. Ode to a Loser

Pity that Brett Favre
Came out of retirement
Just to choke tonight.

[joeybee12]

19. Best one so far!!! n/t

[Catshrink]

21. I agree.

I love how clever DUers are!

[Swede]

9. He fought the good fight.

I kinda think he'll be back.

[Catshrink]

13. He did indeed.

But are we really up for 6+ months of "will Brett retire" or "will Brett unretire?"

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

10. Sigh... Once again, the Vikings snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Favre chokes at the last
No stadium for Zygi
Sucks to be the Vikes

[Wapsie B]

14. Oh the Vikes will get the stadium financed by the taxpayers; just not until the last minute

or nearly so. The welfare for the wealthy crowd will put on the pressure the closer we get to the end of the lease. No way the Vikings leave. If this were about the same time the Lakers were taken away I'd not be so sure, but now? I'd say the Jacksonville team would be a bigger target for Los Angeles.

But I could not believe all the turnovers. That's what cost the game right there. If Favre does not come back I could see some major draft moves in April either trading for someone like McNabb or trading up to get someone like McCoy as a rookie. No way they sit pat with Rosenfels or Jackson.

[Zomby Woof]

11. Favre

Reverse consonants
Cause of many misspellings
Now please go away

[Catshrink]

12. +1

:hi:

[peekaloo]

15. A reminder

when passing the ball
its important to throw to
the guy on your team

[mochajava666]

16. Sweet Justice

Hey Packers Traitor,
Remember T. J. Rubley?
Pick cost field goal chance.


In 1995, at Minnesota, with the game tied at 24-24, Packers third string quarterback, T.J. Rubley, inserted after Favre and Detmer were injured, faced a third and one with seconds left, but they were already within field goal range. Rubley audibled out of a run, rolled out and threw a pick, which lead to a Viking victory.

Favre's interceptions also cost the Packers playoff games against the Cowboys, St. Louis, Philadelphia, and most recently, the Giants.

17. A Farewell to Favre

After last night, you
could say that Brett Favre is the
"pick" of the litter.

[old mark]

18. SPORTS NEWS-2035-Brett Favre, quarterback of the Beaulah, MS "Stars" football team,

set another record as the oldest player ever to hold a football in Mississippi State Leagur team. Favre, who played one play from his motorized wheelchair, fumbled the ball on the snap. He then returned to the training room for oxygen and a massage.
He stated that he will "think about" retirement after the season ends, and assounce his decision in the spring.

[Catshrink]

20. ...

:rofl:

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

22. Hopefully the end

winter winds blow fierce
football career ripped from Favre's
cold dead hands, adieu

:hi:

[gratuitous]

23. Too many syllables for the last line, fill it in yourself

How can we miss you
When you won't go away, Brett
There's something about . . .

[yewberry]

24. Who now?

I understand that
you are a football player.
I don't like football.

[MilesColtrane]

25. Haiku for Vicodin Boy

Old man takes record

Most picks in postseason play

Retirement calls
