Things between Brett Favre and the Packers have gotten... complicated. While Favre used to be the apple of Green Bay's eye, his desire to return has dusted up a tornado of lies, hurt feelings, trade rumors, Wranglers, and pleas from Aaron Rodgers psychiatrist to just GO AWAY. Like any significant other who realized just a little too late that they had made a mistake, Favre has thrown a Hail Mary, as only he can, to return to the throne as King Lambeau. Ladies and gents, I present to you the Brett Favre Mix Tape. Below are excerpts from some of the songs he is gun-singing in the direction of Ted Thompson, Mike McCarthy, Aaron Rodgers, among others.
Have you been on the receiving end of a mix tape before? Or were you a mix tape creator? If Favre is missing the song that will touch the Packers' heart, leave it in the comment section below:
Jewel - You Were Meant for Me
I rode my mower, called Marshall Faulk Consoled a cup of coffee but it didn't wanna talk So I picked up a paper, it was more bad news Can’t go to the Vikings, no booze cruise Put on my coat in the pouring rain Drove to Green Bay, it just wasn't the same 'Cause it was my town and I’m on Madden and It made me miss you oh so bad 'cause Legends last for so long Even after I’m gone I know I’m your QB And soon you will see You were meant for me And I’m your Brett, baby
Richard Marx - Right Here Waiting (at Training Camp)
Wherever you go Whoever you start I will be right here at training camp Whatever it takes Or if my back aches I will be right here throwing to Grant
Tracy Lawrence - I’d Gunsling to be Your Everything Again
I know I said I wouldn’t call you I know the trouble it could bring But I’m sure by now you’ve told him he can’t gunsling All the fans know, how far I can throw Before this conversation ends I’d gunsling to be your everything again Or I’ll gunsling as a Viking to win
No Doubt – Don’t Speak (McCarthy)
McCarthy We used to be together Playing in cold weather, Green Bay I really feel That my joints won’t hyper-extend I can heave The ball to the end It looks as though you’re letting go And if it’s real Then I’ll forget Lambeau
Barry White – Can’t Get Enough of Green Bay
I've heard reporters say that Too much Brett Favre is not good for you, baby Oh no But I don't know about that There's many times that we've won Won Super Bowls and MVPs It doesn't seem to me like it's enough There's just not enough of Brett There's just not enough Oh oh, babe
McCarthy, I can’t get enough of Green Bay Mike, I don’t know, I don’t know why Can’t get enough of Green Bay
Dio – Holy Diver (Donald Driver)
Donald Driver You know what it’s like to play with the MVP Oh what's becoming of me I’m like MacGuyver Making something out of nothing to win for green Oh don't you see what I mean
Lisa Loeb – Stay (Play)
You say I only play how I what I want to. You say I throw pics all the time so. And I thought retiring was simple, and I thought that I don't belong, and now that I’m not heaving, now I know that I did something wrong 'cause I wasn’t news Yeah yeah, now I’m news
Toni Braxton - "Un-break My Heart"
Un-retire Brett Favre Say you’ll play me again Undo this tampering charge When you know fans want more Um, I’m just home with my wife Un-forget these years I played so many nights Un-retire Brett Favre Brett Favre
Sinead O’ Connor – “No Ring” Rodgers, and You
It's been four months and 17 days Since I put away my playing days I wear wranglers every night, yup jeans all day Since I retired from Green Bay Since you’ve got Aaron I can do whatever I want I can hope that the Packers lose I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant But nothing but without me you’ll lose `Cause “No Ring” Rodgers “No Ring” Rodgers, and you
Chicago – If You Release Me Now (If You Leave Me Now)
If you release me now You’re doing something great for a retiree Ooo oh, Ted let me go Could you release me now I’ll beg until I’ve lost all dignity Ooo oh, Ted let me go
Alanis Morissette – You Ought Know
Draft seemed to go well, Brohm’s a good pull I'm not quite as well, I thought you should know Did you forget about me Mr. McCarthy I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced Are you thinking of me or Aaron Rodgers
The Fray – Over My Head
Everyone knows I throw Over his head Over his head With eight seconds left in overtime With 4th and nine Favre's on your mind
