OFFICIAL BRETT THE LIVING LEGEND THREAD

Then, he needs to start acing like a Packer again, show up at some things, and talk like a former Packer all-in with the organization.

Actually, that quote reminds me of the Rodgers quote in SI that could have buried him had Favre not grabbed the headlines in '08. Something like "true fans will accept me and the rest can jump off the bandwagon" or something similar.

I agree with the rest. Despite the headline this interview produced CBS has "Favre unworried about Pack fans booing return", and no matter what kind of magic wand Demovsky thinks the Packers possess, he is clearly dithering with the team and fans.

Ya, that was one of the truly dumb things that Rodgers has said. He was quite careful and guarded during that time, but clearly screwed up when he said that. I think he tried to explain it later, didn't he? Those never go over well either.

His explanation, at least the way I recall it, was nearly as bad as the original statement.

You don't get to where he was (or Favre did) without a huge chip on your shoulder. I am stunned at how good today's player's are at controlling it. Only baseball, which is inventing new unwritten rules as we speak (no bunting with 2-out in 5th with 2 run lead) seems left behind.

With the way some 'fans' were treating Rodgers like all of this was somehow his fault I don't blame him for speaking like that. He held his tongue pretty well most of the time during The Divorce.

We don't know what kind of resistance he encountered between the Favre retirement and camp, but he did get quoted BEFORE Brett hit the fan late in the Summer. So the training camp ugliness hadn't happened yet.

But he did do a good overall job of holding his tongue. It also may have helped to play well most of the time and go 8-8. Not a tire fire, but a lot of room for improvement.
