He is drastically overrated.

no he's not. you can easily argue is the greatest qb of this generation, and possibly all time. (and if you go by records and stats, he is the greatest QB of all time.

If you measure him by championships won, he is the same as many other QBs with one Super Bowl.

dan marino doesn't have a ring, does that mean he was a crap QB and what he accomplished means nothing?

Great, he has a whole bunch of records. Football has never been about records. And with the way the game is passing oriented now, its just a matter of time til he loses those.

how is the game passing oriented now when you got teams that build around their run game/rb still?

if football isn't by records or stats how else do you measure someone elses greatness. he was a unreal leader too, watch any interview where players/coaches talk about him and they'll all say it.

so you didn't watch him at all last year eh? the unreal season he had. and speaking of stupid mistakes, that's all the peyton manning does in the playffs and he had pretty similar numbers that favre had during the regular season.

favre can still play fine.

Yeah I watched him and I watched him throw that last minute interception in the playoffs too.

His playoff record isn't good, but you can't deny his overall regular season and career success. Manning is constantly revered as the greatest QB of all time, and yet he's won and lost one Super Bowl each. The greatness of his success revolves greatly around his regular season success. Manning has lost just about as many playoff games as he's won, if not more than. Favre is costly in the playoffs, but to deny what got him to the playoffs isn't purposeful ignorance imho.

I don't care about Manning, Manning has nothing to do with favre's retirement antics.Regular season wins mean nothing if he can't win in the playoffs anyway.

I'm tired of seeing him on tv with his wrangler jeans.Retire and go away or stay and shut up about retirement.

Maybe he'll be forced to retire when he falls and breaks a hip...

Dan Marino says hi.

I'm sorry but you can't discredit 285 consecutive starts. 40 years of age and the guy STILL has it.

It was his fault he had the chance to come back and win. But noooo he chokes and throws the ball right to the defender.

Take into account the talent Favre had around him in Green Bay for almost his entire career. It was mediocre at best. Regardless of people's ranking him among the great QBs of seasons past (of which he's definitely top 10 at the very least) he's a joy to watch. His excitement for the game at 40 is more than kids fresh out of college just starting their careers. It's also not his fault that the media wants to make a circus out of him. There's no news in the off season...of course they're going to try to generate a buzz around someone.

Yeah I watched him and I watched him throw that last minute interception in the playoffs too.

It's called trying to make a play. Come off it.

Actually it was going straight to Rice, Porter simply jumped the route as he did in the Super Bowl against Wayne. Two moments I shouted at the top of my lungs :D

He did throw it across his body into traffic, a bad call, but Rice didn't go to the ball and waited for it. Two wrongs don't make a right, the rest is history.

alright mister perfect, have fun cheering the eagles into another losing season (Y)

Really the defender was right in front of the WR.

no he wasn't. he jumped into the play after favre made the throw. the WR didn't come to qb. it was both their bad.

fine, not a losing season, just another year where mcnabb barely makes the playoffs and chokes harder then a ######.

and it definitely, DEFINITELY had nothing to do with the fact that mcnabb played like crap, ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with the eagles qb.

Sounds like a typical philly fan...

Neither has the Vikings...

Thread isn't about the Vikings. It's about Favre. Who has won more Super Bowls in 19 seasons, than the Eagles' franchise.

    • Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June games showcase week has been a packed one, with everything from major presentations like Sony and Summer Game Fest to indie-focused reveals coming in almost every day. Now, it's almost time for another big one, with Microsoft bringing its Xbox Games Showcase back later today. This is a double feature too, with a Gears of War E-Day deep dive also being attached to it. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase is kicking off at 10 AM PT | 1 PM ET | 6 PM BST | 7 PM CEST later today, June 7. The event will be available to watch on the official Xbox YouTube (4K 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, Steam, Amazon Live, and other portals. Separate livestreams for American Sign Language and Audio Description will also be available. "This year marks 25 years of XBOX, and this Showcase is poised to be a true celebration, offering world premieres, new gameplay, fresh updates, and more for a swathe of projects we cannot wait to share," said Microsoft about this presentation. With a new CEO behind it that is pulling off some interesting moves, Xbox may have some surprises to reveal today. New looks at first-party games like Halo Campaign Evolved from Halo studios, Fable from Playground Games, InXile Entertainment's Clockwork Revolution, Mojang's Minecraft Dungeons II, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 from Infinity Ward are to be expected here. We may finally get to see the new Blade from Arcane Studios in action and a new Persona game from Atlus at the showcase too. Surprise announcements may also arrive from other Microsoft-owned studios like Bethesda, MachineGames, Ninja Theory, Obsidian, Rare, World's Edge, or Blizzard. Considering how every new release nowadays is staying away from November and December to avoid Grand Theft Auto VI's release, any launch dates Microsoft announces will probably skip those months as well. Once the Xbox Games Showcase ends, Microsoft will immediately kick off the Gears of War: E-Day Direct. This deep dive into the upcoming prequel from The Coalition should attach gameplay footage and perhaps a release window to the highly anticipated project.

    • 007 First Light review: Satisfying spy adventure that James Bond needed

      By Nick H. · Posted

      So after some fiddling I was able to get it to run at a pretty stable 30FPS. I'm slightly surprised about how much fiddling I had to do to get there though given what I thought was reasonable hardware: Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS w/ Radeon 780M Graphics Memory: 16 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor 1: AMD Radeon 780M Graphics Graphics Processor 2: AMD Radeon RX 7700S I think I could do it better if I use Linux rather than Windows, Windows RAM usage is stupid without stripping the system down. But once I got it working in a reasonable state, it was so awesome! I felt like a new Bond! If anyone has any advice to get things going a bit smoother FPS-wise, I'd appreciate it.
