The St. Louis Rams, desperate for a quarterback like seemingly half the NFL is these days, called Brett Favre this week, according to ESPN. The franchise wanted to see if Favre would unretire for the umpteenth time and give it one last final shot, after all the other one last final shots.
Seriously. They called Brett Favre.
Favre is 44 years old and currently working as a volunteer offensive coordinator and quarterback coach for the Oak Grove Warriors, a high school team in Mississippi. He spends his spare time jogging and mowing the lawn.
He hasn’t played since 2010, when a week after his record 297-regular season game starting streak ended, he went 5-for-7 for 63 yards, one touchdown and one pick in a Minnesota Vikings loss to the Chicago Bears. He was concussed early in the game and replaced by Joe Webb.

Favre would be crazy to take his 44 year old body and put it in play on that artificial truf in St Louis with that porous offensive line. He would be in the hospital after 1 or 2 games.
No. No. No. No.
Didn’t they learn from Joe Namath, Bert Jones, Dan Pastorini?
It wouldn’t be the Rams without a QB controversy.
Go Rams!
And I heard that the Giants and the Bucs are signing up new quarterbacks, both of them named Owen, as in 0 an’ 6. ta da DUM! Seriously was there ever a time when two football teams had such dismal records in the same season?
Fran Tarkington is available.
The Giants finally did win a game.
Terry Bradshaw too.
You forgot the Jags, also OH fer.
Yeah. But the Browns want him.
The talent is spread too thin.

I think it’s safe to say that the Jags will go 0-16. Even the O’fer Lions from a few years ago would beat them by two touchdowns.
Maybe if Phil Robertson isn’t to busy huntin’ ducks he’d consider it. If not, I see Terry Bradshaw has shed a few pounds.
I think for any league 20 teams is the ideal max number of teams. Of course it won’t happen.
I would do like soccer and split the 32 teams into two levels, and use promotion/relegation.
If their in that bad of shape shouldn’t they at least consider Tim Tebow? I mean I have my doubts about Tebow but it has got to be better than the shape Brett Farve is in..................right? or am I out in left field?
wow
They could always call up Terry Bradshaw;)
College D's don't do as much of that type stuff (some do but not the majority) so when these kids hit the NFL as far as QBs go it is a totally different Ballgame.
Plus just about everyone who is rushing the QB in the NFL is doing so in Olympic qualifying time for sprints. (even the huge lineman who can dash unbelievably fast over a short distance.) In college an opposing team might have 2 or 3 guys that fast. The so-called "slow guys" on the NFL teams are still faster than the majority of the players at college level so the QBs go from having 5 or more seconds on a drop back to barely 3 seconds and that difference is like comparing and aircraft carrier to a rowboat.
In college, at most a QB faces one or two NFL quality defensive players.
Of course in the NFL, they’re all NFL-quality players....Even the Jaguars would beat Alabama by 30 points.
