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.
