Smeefers, let's just say Fritz posted a revealing image that was supposed to resemble someone we used to admire in one of his lesser moments. But from what I have heard, anatomically speaking, it bore no resemblance whatsoever.

It seems ... our beloved Fritz 'the Man' ... departed from his norm in terms of 'whit and manners / morals'. It's tough in the off season to always be 'the Golden boy' at Packerrats.Originally Posted by hoosier
Posting 'giant images of anything' isn't acceptable at Packerrats. Unless you'd enjoy eating it.
GO PACKERS !

Packers thinking about retiring Brett Favre's number

"The breakup between Brett Favre and the Packers was ugly, like most high-profile breakups. The team, secure in the knowledge that it made the right choice to let Favre go, hopes that a little time heals all wounds.
The team plans to retire Brett Favre's number in a year or two, when it is meaningful to Favre.
(Translation: When the emotions have subsided some. And when we're absolutely sure Favre isn't going to play again.)" Fr. LINK
Comment woodbuck27:
We've a thread dedicated to Brett Favre. I decided this news would make it acceptable as it's own thread. If that's not best for the health of Packerrats it may be 'of course' moved to the FAVRE thread.

Retire the number when he gets in the HOF. Should be long enough away for most of the bad blood to have boiled off while we bask in the thrid SB win under AR and TT.
Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.
No..too much like 'sour grapes'.
The Packer organization should take the bull by the horns and retire Favre's number after talking to Favre RE: just this.
The Packer Organization is too big for small insignificant backwards stances that have zero to do with any NOW!

You all ain't gonna win shit
Deputy Nutz. I respect your stance on this issue. You represent the hard line opposition to the Favre haters.
Gradually the rest of us have been reduced to aiming for a compromise or common sence just to get some PEACE on this forum.
a) Of course none of it can possibly do with how Brett Favre was as our teams offensive leader playing so distinguishedly.
b) How he did such a large part to restore the Packer Organization back to respectability.
Did anyone forget that...He's the only NFL player to win back to back to back NFL MVP's. Just that gets him into the NFL HOF as a first ballot candidate . How many achievements after that including the record of consecutive game starts 'all positions except kicker' get him the same honour?
It's just shameful for me to become aware of any Packer fan that would sincerely 'attempt in any way' to take that away from him. To do so and expect credibility as a Packer fan or a knowledgeable NFL fan? I've had to come to terms with that. Call upon every rational I have as a discriminating person to understand that. I always struggle with that one.
We'll likely NOT ever see another QB like Brett Favre. He was unique and wonderful. For so long the Icon of the NFL.
When it's all said and done can Packer fans forget:
c) That he was voted the 90's decade's Top QB on NFL.Com.
d) Deny that throughout two decades FAVRE was a TOP FIVE QB and dispute that and try to dispute that he was 'at least a TOP TEN QB' for consecutive decades?
e) Fault Bret Favre without answering the question. How many QB's in NFL history have been recognized by experts with that distinction in d) ?
One was Dan Marino. Brett Favre and Dan Marino. There's some fast company.
Brett Favre's number 4 'with the Packers', should be retired ASAP. Anything less than that is utter nonsence.
GO PACKERS !

I don't think Nutz is talking about Favre. He most likely is saying we aren't gonna win another SB with Rodgers and company.
I'm 'of course NOT sure' but just maybe....Deputy Nutz is referring to the effects of positive Vs negative KARMA.... " bringing upon oneself inevitable results, good or bad ".
Maybe it's as I feel. That hatred and continued brewing of animosity for Brett Favre. Is pointless nonsence.
So tedious and not in any form constructive in terms of where our Packer fans need to be.
It's sad that more here don't see it this way.
PACKERS !

As far as the Ring of Honor (or whtever it's called)....you can't get up there until you are in the HOF the way I understand it. The retired numbers are set in their own area above the rest.......are they all in the HOF?
So, his number could be retired, but potentially not on the Ring?
After lunch the players lounged about the hotel patio watching the surf fling white plumes high against the darkening sky. Clouds were piling up in the west… Vince Lombardi frowned.
Both are gonna happen. Time heals all wounds and so long as he doesn't go off on the Packer organization he'll get the number retired. It will be a moving ceremony with lots of applause.
All hail the Ruler of the Meadow!
Nobody is going to wear #4 any time soon, whether or not they officially retire the number right now. There's no rush.
You got that backwards: time wounds all heels.
I predict it will be a loooong time before the Packers retire #4, not because management hates Favre but because Favre's animosity toward TT would not allow him to participate in any retirement ceremony. What would it take to bring Favre back to Lambeau as a Packer whose number is being retired? TT, MM and Murphy would have to crash and burn first, and get replaced by a new adminstration that has no connection to the current one. Not gonna happen for a long time.
I think Favre needs to make his peace with Ted Thompson while Thompson is still with the Packers. If he waits until Thompson is gone and then says "Hey everybody, I'm back!", he'll get a lot of one finger salutes. Most of the fans will come around if Favre and Thomson heal the rift, but the decision is Favre's. He has to bury the hatchet.

Isn't it time we finally clean the rumours and lies up at Packerrats RE: Brett Favre? Do so with some sence of humility and decent respect for one another here?
To establish the TRUTH as it exists today. To allow this Packer Forum Home to heal as it justly deserves instead of wallowing in needless animosity over a Packer GREAT.
My advice....THINK. Do you need to take on the challenge that I propose below?
hoosier you have every opportunity to back up your claims in the above. Until you do your post means 'Jackshit'. I don't believe you can supply positive proof to support that Favre continues feeing animosity over anything TT and / or MM or Murphy.
Please offer this forum ** your proof or humble yourself and stop posting nonsence.
This isn't about debate of animosty among members here. This isn't about attacking 'the poster'. This is about backing yourself up in terms of your post. This is 'about healing at Packerrats' and that's bigger than any member here.
** I do not believe you can do so in terms of the post above. Back yourself up or pleae recognize that your attitude isn't healthy for you in terms of the legacy that Brett Favre so richly deserves.
Thanks for your time. Have a Super weekend. We are enjoying a long weekend here in Canada.
GO PACKERS !

Yes, but by putting the willingness out there, they show that it's Favre being the baby about it, not the team.

Ohh isn't that post special; a real leap of misconception.
Read my post to hoosier and substitute hoosiers name for your own MJZiggy. It's time you get it to the TRUTH and not to something you continue to corrupt this forum with in terms of the legacy that Brett Favre deserves. Take your petiness and hatred MJZiggy and flush it. Instead of smearing it all over this forum.
You just do NOT get it in terms of Brett Favre and in that respect 'stink up the air' in Packerrats. Get over yourself please.
I give you credit for one thing . That post above by you is about as useless as last months deviled ham sandwich. In fact it's so pointlessly thought out that I'm just going to disregard it as bullshit. It stinks so much I don't even want to go near it.

Well Woodbuck let's get to the TRUTH then. I will start with a list of statements and we will decide if they are true or false. Maybe that way we can have some ground rules to argue by.
True or False (My answers in brackets):
1. BF was the starting QB for the Packers for the 2007 NFC Championship game. (True)
2. BF retired from the NFL. (True)
3. The Packers stated that ARod was their starting QB for the 2008 season. (True)
4. BF called the Packers and said he wanted to unretire. (True)
5. MM and TT were ready to fly to MS to meet with BF regarding his position with the Packers. (True)
6. BF called TT and said he was going to stay retired. (True)
7. BF calls the Packers and says he wants to play. (True)
8. MM tells BF that he has to compete for the starting QB position. (True)
Let's start with that and see what we come up with.
But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.
