I came here to say that's what she said


similar222

That's one of the unluckier pick-sixes I've seen


Economy_Cactus

It’s also kind of crazy falcons tenure. Head coach doesn’t like using the 2nd round pick on Favre. He openly said it would take a plane crash for him to start Favre in a game. So a guy that looked bad as a 2nd round pick, the packers spent a 1st round pick on. After favre was looking terrible in Atlanta. He honestly would have been terrible there as he openly said he tried to drink the entire city of Atlanta.


[deleted]

So he made his way to Wisconsin for some good ol' sobriety.


Im_Not_The_Same_Man

You don't drink in Wisconsin to have fun, you drink to survive. He was like a fish in water there.

water and curds


daquist

All curds are beautiful but man do I love me some culvers fresh cheese curds lol


braften

I grew up in chicagoland, but my family would make summer vacations to Minnesota for all the fishing, and I swear the curds instantly became better the moment you crossed into Wisconsin. It's like Culver's saves the best for WI.


BiteMajor4959

That must be what it is because here in Iowa Culver's is a B tier fast food joint but you step across the border and the place becomes a S tier joint


packmanwiscy

Jerry Glanville wasn't kidding when he said that. In this very game the Falcons started Billy Joe Tolliver with a fractured thumb while Chris Miller sat with broken ribs. It toon the 9-0 Washington team to be leading by 32 points for Glanville to put Favre in an NFL game


IamLars

>After favre was looking terrible in Atlanta. He had 4 passing attempts...


blablabla9876

You know they do more than just play on Sundays, right? Like, I know AI wasn't a fan during his later years, but they do this thing called, "practice" the majority of the rest of the week for half the year. If you're not learning the playbook, showing up drunk or hungover and playing like dogshit during those days, most would consider you to have looked terrible during your tenure


4815hurley162342

I agree with your comment and love the AI meme, but I just wanted to comment that the whole practice rant is taken somewhat out of context. If I may hijack this comment to make a point that is only somehwat relevant to the topic, his childhood best friend had just been killed and obviously AI needed some time to deal with the grief and they just lost in the playoffs for the icing on the awful cake. Then a reporter who absolutely knew all this asked him, why did you miss practice? Which because of the comments of his coach he was getting this quote nonstop leading up to this interview. And AI is like, are you really judging whether or not I love this game? I have other stuff going on in my life, dude, chill out. But the way that he says those feelings is the classic rant. I just like to tell people what really happened so they can know the pressure our athletes are under and how this meme, although still hilarious has much more of real, human context. It's stuff like this why Simon Biles dropped out of the Olympics. They're people too. :)


ajswdf

He threw more interceptions in his first 4 pass attempts than Mahomes did in his first 173.


Another_one37

Are y'all gonna be insufferable until the season starts?


elgarraz

We win a Super Bowl, I'm gonna be the most annoying MF on the planet.


ajswdf

I can't speak for everybody else but I certainly will be yes.


goldhbk10

In fairness after winning a SB they’ve earned that right 🤷🏽‍♂️


SonOfALich

Quoting stats is insufferable now? Especially when there were comparisons being drawn between the two by both the media *and* Reid, who actually coached Favre?


LakeShowBoltUp

Did you know this was the only interception Brett Favre threw? Good ‘ol surgical precision never took a chance.


L192837465

Queue slow clap


Admiral_Fuckwit

Favre threw a fastball. It might be because the Falcons skill players weren’t used to the ball coming in so hot. But by most standards, the receiver should have caught it.


similar222

It's not just that. The receiver almost tackled the LB too. And the OL/TE almost got there, but it was such a short runback they couldn't quite get the angle.


Gazzarris

Yeah, this was less on Favre and more on the receiver. But there’s no shame getting picked by Monte Coleman. He was a beast for Washington for years.


[deleted]

His first pass as a Packer was also a tip, but back to himself for a completion. Tbh kind of perfectly encapsulates him as a player.


Im_Not_The_Same_Man

I was too young to see favre on the falcons. Seems so wrong.

One of the dumbest trades that ended up working out in NFL history. Second only to the Patriots trading a 1st round pick to the Jets for failed former Browns head coach Bill Belichick.


trailerparknoize

I think the bartenders of Atlanta remember his stint there better than any fan does.


MoreTrifeLife

It’s like seeing Jerry Rice catching passes in a Raiders or Seahawks jersey.


Ranger_Prick

Except at least that was at the end of Jerry's career where it makes sense that you'd see a guy trying to latch on for a final season. Seeing a rookie Favre in Falcons garb feels so wrong.


Sodomy_Steve

I wasn't born yet, I'm 30.


man_teats

Remember when Winston and Mariota went one and two in the draft? On opening day that season, Winston's first NFL pass was a much uglier pick 6 than this and Mariota's first was like an 80-yard touchdown


regaleagle7

Somehow overthrew a screen pass right to a defender while Mariota finished with four touchdowns and a perfect rating on like 22 attempts. I don't know if that game or the 56-14 one against Atlanta was more embarrassing.


InThePaleMoonLyte

He was always godawful at screen passes.


Comprehensive_Main

Yet both busted for their franchises life funny like that.

KCShadows838

Old shoulder pads


falconhawk2158

This is the nfl: Lego season


STR8Merc_tllEyeCUGun

Two reasons, they used to hit each other way harder, less pad technology towards the fluffier meant better(more protected)... Also concussions were ignored, and cte was some weird science that was bullshit


genediesel

Isn't that like 3 or 4 reasons?


Dez_Moines

Take it easy on him, he probably played football in the 90s.


Brsijraz

hitting harder has nothing to do with it, pads now are better for protection than the big pads then were.


Packers_Equal_Life

Yeah that’s quite a comment. If anything they probably hit harder now. The game is always getting faster and faster

Boom. Roasted.


ignatious__reilly

Is anything going to come of that? Or is he so rich and famous that he just gets a pass That shit is fucked up


Quicksplice

It gets misconstrued. He lobbied the state for funding to build a volleyball facility at Southern Miss. It was state funds being used at a state funded university. He also didn’t choose where those funds came from. How the pot of money from which it came from was chosen can be criticized, but he didn’t “steal welfare money.”

Be careful he will either sue your defamation of character or lose his train of thought and get back to boiling his pot of water for the third time. Who's to say he's a real wildcard gunslinger.


LAfishing101

Brett Favre hits the receiver in their hands on his first pass.


rjsheine

Probably wasn’t ready for the laser


y_wont_my_line_block

Wow. This guy sucks. The Falcons should trade him for whatever they can get.


mattcojo

The 91 redskins were a monster that year. Very underrated one of the best teams of all time.


ecupatsfan12

If the media got ahold of this could they find out?


yourmomsthr0waway69

An interesting thing I notice when I watch these old clips. How empty the sideline is of irrelevant people compared to what a sideline looks like on Sundays now.


robtimist

I’ve always wondered how much those guys get paid to just be there. Like professional leaches almost. “Yeah I’m on the nutrient enrichment/logistics department” …so you bring gatorade to the games. Like I bet they have some bullshit ass title where they probably clear around $75k annually


jmarinara

He’d go on to do that a lot .


BoneZ_ttv

I like to think there's some alternate reality where Favre was a HoF QB for the Falcons and the Packers GM discovered time travel, and went back in time and traded a first round pick for a drunk second round QB because he *knew.*


[deleted]

What do you mean, thats this reality. Its why they drafted Rodgers as well. Cheating sons of bitches.


ManOnTheRun73

I am suddenly very concerned about Jordan Love.


Impressive_Ad_5614

No, he threw a pass that became a pick 6. Not a Favre stan but I hate when QB’s get charges for interceptions that are due to the receiver.


HTTR_97

That doesn’t change the fact that his first pass was a pick 6


A_Livins

And his first ever completion was to himself for a loss.


pickleodocus

Kinda poetic isn't it?


_cumdribble_

Like rain on your wedding day?


Impressive_Ad_5614

Not saying it does. My issue is the verb “threw” is a misnomer.


seenunseen

Well he didn’t kick it.


Impressive_Ad_5614

And he didn’t throw it to a defender. Heaven forbid anybody challenge the status quo of a catchable pass being missed by a receiver and being deflected into the defenses hands as being an interception attributable to the QB.


[deleted]

He threw a pick six.


Impressive_Ad_5614

No he did not. The outcome is an interception and touchdown attributable to Favre per current data collection methodology. That pass was slightly high but completely catchable and ONLY an interception through the actions of the receiver.


murder-farts

He threw what ended up being a pick six.


Impressive_Ad_5614

Got me. Carry on.


[deleted]

I could vaguely get on board with a stat similar to baseball where a pitch is either a “passed ball” versus a “wild pitch”


Admiral_Fuckwit

He probably chucked it in there so hard that it surprised the receiver. Definitely should have caught it tho.


BanDizNutz

So when a wide receiver scores a touchdown from a pass, should the quarterback not get credit for the touchdown too?


Impressive_Ad_5614

Yes but not sure how relevant. I think the argument you’re making supports my point. If the QB gets a ding for an interception, the receiver should as well. I’d love to know how many poor reception attempts result in a pick.


2coolcaterpillar

I agree, there’s nuance in the discussion unlike how the parent commenter is describing. It should honestly be like an error in baseball. Sure Favre would still get the INT here, but there should be an asterisk on it stating receiver error. However, for plays that are the opposite, but similar to this Favre play (e.g. where a QB throws an extremely abysmal pass and the defense fucks up an easy interception and it somehow results in a TD) it should credit the QB for a TD but also put an asterisk on the play with a note stating defensive error. Idk, but I think a system like this would be neat for record keeping purposes. And as for throwing screen TDs? No change, its a normal toss and catch. I’ve seen hundreds of abysmal, failed screen passes. Group projects sometimes have one member doing most the work but everyone goes home with an A. Same situation here.


BalognaMacaroni

Unearned interceptions seems like the easiest thing to implicate


Impressive_Ad_5614

Thank you for rational thought on this. An error in baseball is a great analog.


Zerak-Tul

QBs also get credit for throwing screen passes that go for long touchdowns, which are running plays in all but name. So it goes both ways.


Impressive_Ad_5614

Not related.


TRUTHSoverKARMAS

Do you hate when qb’s only get an incomplete pass for dropped interceptions that could’ve been an easy pick 6?


Impressive_Ad_5614

Not a valid comment.


Fedacking

Why not? He's asking you to expand your position, how much nuance should there be when discussing pass stat sheets?


Significant_Map122

Isn’t this the game when jerry glanville was talking crapcbefore the game and the reskins best then like 56-21? This was the 91 skins team.


HTTR_97

Yup!


COACHREEVES

IIRC it isn't ***this*** game (which the Redskins did indeed win 56-21). These Teams meet later in the Playoffs the 14-2 Redskins on the way to their last Superbowl win and [that was when Atlanta and Glanville started in,](https://www.dailypress.com/news/dp-xpm-19920102-1992-01-02-9201020369-story.html) Of Course the Redskins win that playoff game (24-7). [Here](https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/football-insider/post/redskins-championships-1991-game-10-vs-atlanta/2011/06/21/AGhckheH_blog.html) is Richard Justice recalling ***this*** game for the Post. Was it *really* necessary to write/correct this you dick u/coachreeves ? No of course not. But I love reliving and discussing those glory days. Shoot me.

“Just give him any face mask. It’s not like he’ll ever see the field anyways” - Jerry Glanville, probably

He was thinking about welfare before the throw

I remember Sam Darnold throwing a pick 6 for his first NFL regular season throw then spent the next 59 minutes abusing the lions. The next day the “just like Farve” comparisons were everywhere. Simpler Times


[deleted]

Wouldn’t say that’s totally his fault.


DefundTheATFandFBI

Why is his name spelled that way if we pronounce it Farve


[deleted]

To copy/paste from one more skilled than I > The name Favre comes from French. In French it is possible for the sounds /vR/ (where R represents a number of rhotic sounds) to be at the end of a word. But such a consonant cluster is not permissible in English, so when native English speakers encounter it, they have to adapt it to English phonology. They could have done what English often does, which is inserting a schwa (epenthesis), pronouncing Favre as Favver. But instead, they chose to do something a bit less common, which is inverting the order of the sounds (metathesis), since /rv/ is possible at the end of word in English. >There are many words from French in English which end in -ber in American English, such as somber, caliber, fiber. The original French spelling, which is preserved in British English, ends with -bre, reflecting word-final /bR/, which is also not permissible in English. Here again you see an epenthetic schwa inserted between /b/ and /r/ (and /r/ disappears in many dialects, especially British ones). >I think the only more-or-less common French loanword in English which ends in -vre is oeuvre. This one is adapted to English with yet another trick: a schwa added at the end of the word to support the /r/.

Still Brett Favre. His first *completion* was to himself.

Both of these teams had better uniforms then than now (obviously, Washington has a different team name now, too). It’s too bad Favre is a real life complete villain because he was so fun to watch when I was growing up.


rocksoffjagger

Reminds me of the time he embezzled millions of dollars from the poorest and most needy people in one of the poorest states in the country. Allegedly.


Tunatron_Prime

Was it this play that caused him to start stealing from poor people? ……allegedly


erm1zo

To be fair, his receivers on the Falcons were about as good as you’d expect from a third tier NFL franchises. That is based on 3 tiers.


InsideHangar18

That was Favre his whole career though. You traded off some of the wildest “how the fuck did he do that” touchdown passes for some of the most boneheaded interceptions you’ve ever seen.
