You must have been watching a different special than I was. It was well done and Brett never seemed smug, but most on here whine no matter what he does.Quote:

He did seem to honestly admit that the money was too good to turn down in 2010, when asked why he returned for that year. Seems very reasonable. But I'd bet it wasn't the only reason.
Truly. Too bad for him. Forgiveness can be a powerful healing force.Quote:

Self evaluation wasn't his strong suit in the latter half of his career. I wonder if its possible to play QB at a high level for an entire career without eventually succumbing to defensiveness or the urge to collect veteran FAs like a magpie with shiny objects.Quote:

It's really weird to me to imagine if he'd actually stayed retired after that 13-3 surprise season. He'd be worshipped in Green Bay, with all kinds of "what ifs" and wondering what might've happened if only he'd have come back for one more year. People would have been sad and wistful and loved him for his dedication, for stepping out while near the top of his game, for his love for Green Bay. He would have been seen as a hero, a guy who overcame a prescription drug and alcohol addiction, who overcame his father's death, who settled down and became a family man. He would have been beloved.
But I suppose I've fucked up many, many times in my life, made poor decisions. Luckily I'm not in the spotlight.
Hard to imagine someone with over $150,000,000 in career earnings needed another year of "good" money. It seems like an easy out to say that.Quote:

He wasn't concerned with his legacy, or at least the expectations that other people had for his legacy. 20 years of stardom and living as everyone else's hero and poster boy, and saint and sinner people have their opinions some of them fair, but regardless of spectrum most of them are now ridiculous. He still can't take a shit without Packer Fan commenting on it, and making it the talk of their sports day.Quote:

Fuck you. I listen to sports talk radio all fucking day long, and all last week the biggest talk on the dial was Favre's interview with Deion, and whether or not he was going to go Holmgren's induction. So ya, I am right.Quote:

When the dumb ass comes out in a national interview and basically says he couldn't care less whether GB retires his number or not (whether he really means that or not), of course people will talk about it, and anything related to it. Those aren't really bowel movement type activities.
Personally, I think Murphy and everyone associated with the Packers should stop talking about the # retirement thing, and if asked they should simply say, "That is a matter for future consideration."
I think this is a damn good question. If he really couldn't walk away because he wanted to try for one more ring, why didn't he go to MM and TT and say, "Look, I know you think your boy is ready, but I want one more try for the ring. I'm coming back for one more shot, and after that, I'll let go and you can move on. Whaddya say?"Quote:
