OFFICIAL BRETT THE LIVING LEGEND THREAD

[Fritz]

Sure, I remember the good times, early on. But that was before he gained all that weight and started staying in the basement with his buddies, drinking beer, never showering. And then he'd just lay there at night, not even touching me. And that's why it bothered me so when I'd catch him looking at others. I could see the lust in his eyes, but when I offered myself to him, he said he wasn't sure he wanted me any more. It was so humiliating! And then he said he was leaving. And I was glad. But scared, too. And after that, when he said he wasn't sure he wanted to leave, I had such...such....mixed feelings. But I told him he had to make up his mind. And he seemed insulted by that. I became so confused.

But yes, I remember the good times. The way he'd lift up his leg and fart, then laugh - oh, his eyes! And the passes he'd make. So thrilling. He was so child-like in his love.

Yes, I remember those days. Sigh.

[Scott Campbell]

Favre had a great legacy, and now it's crap. Even today he's still the butt of all the late night jokes.

Over time people may mellow and forget what a douchebag he is. But that assumes that he stops being a douchebag at some point.

[Scott Campbell]

Ted sure emerged from this smelling like a rose.

I am right, you are wrong.
No, I am right, YOU are wrong.

I am a cold eyed observer of fact. You are a hater.
I am a student of history, you are an emotional and needy fan-person.

We are both a little right, but your emotional outbursts betray your flaws.
We are both a little right, but secretly, I think you are full of baloney.

Admit it, you still love him.
Admit it, you've fallen for the new guy.

I may have said some things out of haste, but your statements were indications of a blight on your soul.
I may have predicted some things that didn't happen, but you are even more clueless.

Its clear this thread has come to the end of its useful life. When will you stop posting?

Why are you so immature and bitter? Cannot you accept your happy fate?
Why are you so immature and bitter? Cannot you admit you were wrong?

When are you going to grow up?

I will do so only after you modify your behavior in accordance with my judgment.

One side of the coin

Brett was going to be remembered as a good, honest, genuine guy who was great at football. Now he'll be remembered as a wife cheating, dishonest, phony and a dirty creeper who was great at football.

The football stays the same. Believe it or not, there is more to the people we cheer for than what they do on the field. Brett will be remembered as much for what he did off of it. Jen Sterger, the massage therapists, dragging his team through bizarre, dishonest BS to get what he wanted only to get what he didn't want, and his old team winning the SB as soon as he left town.

If you believe in justice, he's being remembered for who he is. If you believe in Favre, he should be remembered for what he wants you to remember him for. Do we stand by our virtues or our idol? where does our allegiance lie? That's the question.

^^^^^THAT ended for many of you when he joined another team. Jen Sterger deal was just icing on the cake...a gift with perfect timing. If Favre was still a Packer and playing great football this board would have been full of posts about what a whore and gold digger she is. Sorry but I don't doubt that one bit.

I disagree. Favre was always chasing women, he just didn't make it so public or let it get out like he did with Jenn Sterger. With the internet nowadays, Favre should have known better than to send dick pix and booty call phone messages to another phone where he then has no control over where they go. Now, if he was still a Packer would we ignore it? Possibly.

I think there would have been some who would have defended him, but I suspect the negatives would have even been worse for him. Favre and the media set him up as a reformed womanizer, survivor of drug and alcohol addiction. I think he would have gotten the Mark Chmura treatment. Rather than being a source of mocking derision as the corrupted traitor, he would have been seen as the fallen hero, being deeply embarrassing to the state of WI. Minnesota can shrug him off as a creepy carpetbagger, but he would have been a humiliation to WI. His admittedly vengeful, spiteful attempt to stick it to Thompson, McCarthy and all Packer fans actually helped the state of WI, because we were able to disown him before his shameful behaviour re-emerged. Otherwise it would be the Packers and WI that would have had to bear the brunt of his unsavory escapades. THANKSFAVRE.

I had no problem with BF going to the Jets. Once he went to MINN the whole ball of wax changed.

I felt the same way. I even rooted for the jets that year. the minny move was completely different.

I wasn't as committed to Favre as many. During the 2007 season, after he went ape shit in teh Dallas game, I said there is no way this guy wins a championship. He tries to be the center of attention in big games and flops. But then again, I was a fan of him for a long time too, had a senior picture taken with a Favre jersey . That game Aaron came in cool as a cucumber and that's when I said I think we'll be OK without him. Up until that point almost everyone 'cept a few wise souls (shadow, patler, b_bulldog to name a couple) thought Favre was the savior of GB and without him we couldn't win.

Even then there were factions of us who bitched and complained about his non commitment to the team. We cited stories of Montana showing up for everything until his last year in the league. We talked about how Favre seemed to believe he was above the team.

There was already Favre tension, even before the split. The difference was that the Favre loyalists had the backing of the majority and the few of us who spoke out were out numbered badly.

3 years later, history has shown us (ted mostly, shadow, patler and b_bulldog partly, and lastly guys like me who spray opinions around and some paint hits the wall) to be correct. Favre was a me first guy playing a team game. He wasn't the great, honest, faithful guy who overcame some battles in his youth. He's a guy who'll lie and manipulate to get anything he wants including a new girlfriend on the side if his marriage isn't up to his standards, or a new team if he doesn't like the one he's on. He thought he could tell Thompson what to do and he found out Ted tells him what to do. Ted put him squarely in his place on Family night when he turned Favre away at the lockerroom door after 4 months of Brett's childish games. Its' not because Ted wants to show Brett who's smarter, better or more important. It's because Brett was a whiny bratt who stepped out of line and Ted had no choice but to keep things giong in the right direction, a direction that because of Favre didn't include Favre.


To summarize in one word:

THANKSTED

He never would have been with Jen as she was the sideline reporter with the Jets, therefore Favre would have had no reason to sext her.

I ain't saying she's a gold digger...

..........because people here were so quick to blame Ahman Green's wife for needing a good beating.

My allegiance has always been with the Green Bay Packers. No one player/person is above the franchise. Even Curly Lambeau found that out all those years ago.

Packer fans won't forget all Favre did on the football field. His play - and others like Wolf, Reggie, Holmgren and Harlan - helped bring us out of the Dark Ages (1969-1989). But a lot of us won't forget how he wormed his way out of town in 2008 while throwing the franchise that made him a household name and multi-millionaire under the bus and soiled his legacy by sending creepy pix and messages to women young enough to be his daughters!

Berts career ended with the Green Bay Packers winning the Super Bowl!

That's just how he wanted it, right?

True and you can ask anyone in this thread, the Packers wouldn't have even been in the playoffs if not for Favre, so surely we can't blame him for anything. Brett carried the franchise out of a 15 year slump. What a hero.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Rodgers is good. Thanks for the championship team THANKSTED! You made the right move--despite being mocked and ridiculed for three years running. Game over. We win. Bert loses.

[Fritz]

Tank. Jaysus.

THANKSTED!

I think Ted helped Tank go into permanent hibernation.
