OFFICIAL BRETT THE LIVING LEGEND THREAD

[Bossman641]

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

So which is it? Did he say it and Packer fans are too sensitive, or was he done with his bad feelings towards the Packers in Jan 2009? Can't really have it both ways.

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.

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?

The devil made him do it!

Brett Favre was so bad that day. Is it really 'just' that?

Actually I'm over the Favre thing and look forward to the day when he is welcomed back into Lambeau. I just don't feel the need to lie to make him look better then he is, which is why I corrected your version of the story. Thanks for your concern though.

As long as we can agree that I'm not supporting Favre in terms of me lieing about what I know we are fine. I would not tell a lie to misrepresent Brett Favre. I know what I read in terms of what Brett Favre said in the interview with the New York sports media at the conclusion of the 2008 season with the New York Jets. Clearly at that time Favre said that it was his impression that any bad feelings were over. That both sides had moved on.

Can I support that as the absolute TRUTH? NO. I'm just a fan and not that close to the principles.

Ted Thompson has been Ted Thompson and rather closed on the whole matter. All I get is what Favre says and demonstrates.

Where will this go. It must 'only' go one place.

A public display of forgivness on both sides with Brett Favre welcomed back to Lambeau Field in a ceremony for his many Packer fans; honoured by an induction in the Green Bay Packer HOF and his number retired as appropriate. It's time for the embarassment to end.
