OFFICIAL BRETT THE LIVING LEGEND THREAD

[packerbacker1234]

While fans were all blaiming favre after teh game, his teammates were not. The camera's were in the lockerrom, you could witness what was happening.

I witnessed a bunch of upset players biting their tongues. 99% of their team realized that 99% of nursing home residents could have shuffled their walkers far enough forward for a Longwell fieldgoal. Every player in that locker room knew that Bert shouldn't have thrown the ball to Tracy Porter.

And last of all, Bert plead guilty to the charges. He freely admits that he should have ran.

Of course he admits it was a bad throw. Since when did I ever say it wasn't? I doubt teh players were really biting their tongues - with Brett they would of never been there, and almost every player in that locker room knows it.

Every single player and coach in that locker room knew that he cost them a Superbowl trip.

ANd every single player and coach in that locker room knew that without Brett, they had no chance to even get to the Super Bowl, let alone the NFC Championship.

Your point?

Actually, I recall a lot of talk during the offseason about players supporting the existing QBs. It wasn't until Favre officially showed up that the team "got behind him."

I sure loved watching him screw them, especially after he had everyone believing that he'd will them to a championship. He was the ultimate tease last year. Watching him rip their hearts out in such dramatic fashion renewed my faith in karma - because Favre was so deserving of such a horrific fate.

[Freak Out]

The Campbell Crusade!

It's a team game where many mistakes are made throughout such contests by many different players.

You have reached bitter, jilted lover status in regards to LORD FAVRE.

[Scott Campbell]

I make no bones about loathing the guy. He earned it. And I'm in good company:

But I do appreciate the way he screwed them in the end.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre underwent arthroscopic surgery on his injured left ankle Friday morning by noted orthopedic specialist Dr. James Andrews, several sources told ESPN.com.

Favre had surgery at the Andrews Institute in Gulf Breeze, Fla., where Favre and his agent Bus Cook were spotted by a handful of people.

Dr. Andrews cleaned up scar tissue and other elements of the joint to allow Favre a better range of motion, sources said.

A source close to Favre said the 40-year-old signal caller would likely need four-to-six weeks of rehabilitation before beginning a running program that would put him on schedule to report to training camp "either at the beginning of camp or shortly thereafter."

Favre had said he would need the surgery if he were going to play in 2010. He was unavailable for comment.

So for you, it was Super Bowl or bust eh? To many others, last season was a massive success. A barely in the playoff team became one of the best in the league. They were one fo hte top 4 teams in the NFL. Thats saying something. Was it disapointing they fell short? Sure - whatever team favre is on it feels like almsot every eyar they are super bowl contedors.

Still, I think it was generally a success, especially if he is coming back this year. I am no viking fan - but I would rather the packers get bounced in the NFC Championship game then lose in the first round.

yeah, just further shows he is coming back. Just a matter of when he wants to start practice at this point.

[Pugger]

But I continue find it remarkable that a guy with a ring and 3 MVPs on his resume would still need to be begged to come back, even after that INT in OT. I don't believe for one moment that anyone pushed Favre into 'retirement' either. There is no way MM was gonna bench #4 in favor of Rodgers had Favre not retired. Why would a HC want his starting QB out the door after #4 had just lead his team to the conference championship game?? Favre played brilliantly in 07 and there would've been a lynch mob outside of MM's office at 1265 had he tried to bench Favre in 08. If Favre was feeling unloved that was his fault, no one else's.

This whole fantasy that teams can't do it without Brett is a built up fairytale. For years we heard how the Packers were going to drop off the National face as soon as we lost Favre. We were in the playoffs last year and are a national favorite to win the SB.

Two years ago the Jets missed the playoffs with Brett, but Favre's fans credited Brett with their whole turn around. Year after he leaves, they're in the playoffs.

The Vikings were in the playoffs aftter startering Ferrotte and Jackson the year before. Ferrotte was out of the leauge the next year. They made the playoffs with a QB that didn't even belong in the league.

Now they made it with Brett and he's the savior/hero. They wouldn't have been there without him.

Sorry, not buying it. Vikings are good with our without Favre. Jets were. Packers are. And that goes to all of the Rodgers fans too. QB's don't make teams SB contenders. QB's are fortunate enough to play on SB contenders and then take all of the credit for it because the camera follows the ball. It's easy to forget the whole game that goes on because we don't see it unless we really look. Without a good team, a QB is useless. Brett too, Rodgers too.

[Scott Campbell]

So for you, it was Super Bowl or bust eh? To many others, last season was a massive success.

Not at all. It was the horrific manner in which he choked away their season that made everything else irrelevant. That pass to Tracy Porter became the signature moment of his season, if not his career.

[pack4to84]

I was talking too some of my Viking friends at work. They say it still hurts having lost the way they did to the Saints. I told them us Packer fans know what your going through, because he did this to us every time we made the playoffs after the SB run.

[Scott Campbell]

I think Darren Sharper may feel the same way as I do about Bert.

Agreed. The words "you wouldn't be there without him" are instantly vomit-inducing for me.

There's no way of proving that and to throw something like that out there so carelessly reveals a lot more about one's football knowledge than they clearly believe it does.

That's a little like toasting the early success of the Hindenburg. All people remember is:

Really? I don't think there is anyone level headed in this thread. Everyone pretty much leans one way or the other.
