a) I'm not a lier RE: Brett Favre
b) I never stated that Brett Favre was the 'Saviour of Green Bay'.
You cannot contend with either of the above and back yourself up. Let it go please.

Stay on track WB. I'm not arguing any of the above regarding his playing career, accomplishments, awards, right to be upset, etc, etc.
You are trying to say that Favre was completely done and over the bitter feelings with the Pack in January 2009. I provided you an instance from December 2010 that shows that he was far from being through with those feelings. Nothing more nothing less.
Again if Brett Favre said to Julius Peppers "Go beat the Packers in a couple of weeks":
a) His remark was at most flippant ....
b) merely gamemanship and nothing to get all boiled over.
c) If he said it 'in hindsight'... best left unsaid. Why? Because some people are rather sensative to such things. They have sensative ego's. i.e. some Green Bay Packer fans.
As a Packer fan what do you really care what he said or why would it be an issue? Look at 'the big picture'. What happened in that game with the Bears? We won that final game of the 2010 season, secured a playoff position, and went on to do what? Win throughout the playoffs and get to and win the SUPER BOWL.
After that you and others here need to make issue of some flippant remark that Favre made to another NFL player as 'hate for the Green Bay Packers'. It's 'simple gamemanship' man. It's simply a part of Pro sports.
Let's wind it back one season; to the NFC playoffs in the 2009 season . Did you ever imagine that the bulk of Packer Nation was pulling for the Minnesota Vikings to knock off the New Orleans Saints in the NFC Championship game and advance to the Super Bowl? That Ted Thompson and Mike McCarthy and some Packer players sent their best wishes along to Brett Favre?
"Rah! Rah!! Brett!!! Go out there and take down those Saints Brett." an imaginary quote... fantasy
Holy Cow! How's this for you.
He took a heavy pounding that day and 'just maybe' he was post concussive; muttered the wrong thing. In doing so he neglected the sensative feelings of some Packer fans. :idea:
I'm sorry after over two years that this is still a huge issue with you and some others here at Packerrats. I truly feel sad for you.
Ohh 'the gnashing of teeth' what an echo. :-)
Arn't you paying attention to Brett Favre. Over and over that man has repeatedly said that he has the fondest regards for Green Bay Packer fans and feels he gave his best as the Packer QB. That man still bleeds the Green and Gold. Even this weekend he told us, that he felt that the teams that would go to the Super Bowl would be 'the Green Bay Packers and the New England Patriots'. Did you miss that?
I am huge Favre honk, and believe me when I tell you , he wanted to shove it up Thompson's ass just as he wanted to shove it up sterger's ass.
He was disgusted with Thompson ever since he took Rodgers in the first round instead of drafting pieces that would help the Packers win right away. Favre truly dislikes that man. I would say the same for Thompson but he is void of emotion. Favre will and has always loved the franchise, and the fans of the Packers.
Aaaaahhhhhhh...... The post-season after losing in the Divisional Round with lots of doubt and questions about the team. Time for us to turn upon one another and rend each other's flesh like rats in a sociology experiment.
Favre being angry with TT is like the auto assembly line worker being angry at the new automated computerized welding machine that takes his job.
Piss off!

I don't disagree.
How old are you? What if...what if....come on.
It didn't matter a hoot what Brett Favre said or not to Julius Peppers when it came down to game day and Bears @ Packers. All that mattered was how the Packer players performed that day. The results on the field.
Maybe 'just maybe' what Brett Favre said to Julius Peppers was a blessing in disguise. An added incentive for our players to ensure defeating the Bears!?
Deputy... of course he did. That's just common sense to know that. It's a fact of life and good reason (or normal behaviour) in Pro Sports. Sadly some Packer fans just don't get it when most sports fans take that crap all in stride. I'm used to that being an NHL fan. Scoring a hat trick against your old team is supposed to bring on the widest grin. It's supposed to be 'a feel good ' moment.
The question I ask is: What makes Green Bay Packer fans so unrealistic in terms of understanding this fact of life. Why do Packer fans have to carry that crap around for what may be forever? That's 'just' foolish.
Actually it might lend itself to an interesting psychiatric study. Why do Packer fans carry such pain over Brett Favre?
