Favre tried to use his celebrity status and an ugly media campaign to force the Packers to take him back as a starter or release him from his contract so he could play for the Vikings. It was FAvre that was not cool, not right.

"a few people" didn't suddenly start disprespecting Favre. Favre acted in a disgraceful manner, he brought the bad feelings on himself.

(remember you brought this upon yourself...) You're comparing Brett Favre to the people you listed in your post? Like people who run the world, JESUS???? are you kidding me? I'm an agnostic, but you're comparing friggin Brett Favre to JESUS???? Are you kidding me??? You're putting him on the same level as your parents in your life???? (well he did screw around a lot in the 90's so anything's possible, but still. Get a hold of yourself, girl!!

He is a FOOTBALL PLAYER. He's not god and if he were, his arm wouldn't be fatigued, now would it?

Favre was a great player for the Packers, there's no doubt about it, but his time with this team is over. The ending was ugly, but it's in the past now, as is the best of his career. He will not be better than (or even as good as) he was in the 90's ever again. Some people here are willing to accept that fact. You need to as well. He doesn't play for us any more. Let him go.

Bar fights..regardless of his book..he was very open early in his career that when he was home that getting drunk and getting into bar fights was "fun." Doesn't bother me a bit. Some guys like to get in fights.

Cheats: more upstanding than 95%..where do you get your info? You don't like my statements, but you throw 95% of the athletes under the bus.LOL

Brett was notorious for his alley catting around. Deanna was going to leave him unless he figured it out.

Who said anything about when married? So, what is the point of court appearances...i said significant other.

You think that Favre, Chewy, etc...were just throwin back a few? LOL I have first hand accounts of their behavior.

Now, when she was his girlfriend/sig other...some would say that it is all good because they arent' married. That is your call...some say it would matter.

But, what we do know is that I left out...bearing children out of wedlock.

The point wasn't that brett is good or bad...but, gex stating that he was someone to be admired because he was a good person and did the right thing.

Bar fights: Not the right thing

I have no problem with any of Brett's human weakness. Hell, it's part of why I like him. My problem is with the way he treated the team and his teammates. He thought he was so far above the team that he was the only one who didn't have to show up for any of the offseason work and then he could just waltz right in to his starting job. Worse yet, he tried to stir an ugly public relations war to get his way and still hid behind his awe shucks, I"m just being sincere front.

The guy may have been a great player for a long time and done a lot of good things on the field. He may be an example of someone with immense human weakness that overcame it to succeed. He may be a lot of good things that I and many others can relate to but at the end here, he was just a big f'in headache in my opinion.

I'd have respected him more if he did show up right away, prior to all the media circus. But no, he had to let his Mom and Brother and Mort do all his dirty work. And then he sent Ted an unretirement text message - too cheezy even for the Packer nation. A frigg'n text message.

Harv,

I have no problem with anything he did. I'm not here to judge his life.

The point was that gex stated:

Gex is making brett out to have been someone he isn't. What i loved about brett was that he was a loveable rogue..the gunslinger. And, like you i can appeciate someone who gets their life together..tho, who really knows what goes on in other people's lives.

Deanna described brett during 95 as, "loud, rough, and often hateful." And said he ignored both her and HIS DAUGHTER.

P.S. He wasn't that young when he was a vike addict. ANd, let's not whitewash the story. He went in because he had a seizure while undergoing some relatively minor surgery...bone chips and spurs.

Also, let's not forget that he balked at entering rehab. That he didn't want to comply with the demands of the NFL addiction counselors who wanted him to stop drinking.

And, what do you know...3 or so years later...deanna is going to leave because he has a drinking problem. Rehab for the 2nd time.

You ask why he keeps "fighting this fight". I could ask the same. Why can't someone say something favorable about Favre or report on his progress with the Jets without many here flipping out on them? If people don't want to read about Favre, skip over it. No need to disrespect people.

Everyone should be able to forget the "incident" and still be able to post their thoughts. Favre was a huge part of the Packer organization for a long time...it's foolish to think people can't be Packer fans and still want to see Brett Favre succeed this season. The wounds are still fresh on both sides....give it time. But cut the anger and disrespect.

I have to wonder how much of the anger is just because Favre is no longer a Packer, period. No longer a Packer = lash out.

Dude was young back then. At least, it sounds like he grew up and got his act together--which a lot of guys don't do. Especially those that are rich and famous. I can respect a guy that screws up, admits it, and then does something about it.

Great point Harv.

You know what they say about people that live in glass houses....

You ask why he keeps "fighting this fight". I could ask the same. Why can't someone say something favorable about Favre or report on his progress with the Jets without many here flipping out on them? If people don't want to read about Favre, skip over it. No need to disrespect people.

Fine, I agree, if people are still ragging on Favre, then they should cut it out too. I haven't seen much of that. My sense is gex was getting digs in over old wounds.


I have to wonder how much of the anger is just because Favre is no longer a Packer, period. No longer a Packer = lash out.

I see very little anger or lashing out. Just a couple posts from one person who missed the Civil War and needed to get his 2 cents in.

I suspect 95% of forum members wish Favre well (if only to get that higher draft pick :D ) and just want to put the July madness in the rear view mirror. And if some people don't like Favre, well so what, that's no biggy.

Take your sunglasses off HH....way more than 1 person lashing out.

AND.....yeah, if some people DO like Favre, well so what, that's no biggy, right??

I appreciate the peace keeper MOBB that started a Favre thread to keep the whiners happy, however, the Packer forum is for football related topics. Favre = football. Get over it, right?

you fail to appreciate that the so-called "Favre haters" are Favre fans too, for the most part. He acted like an ass recently, but most people understand the extreme circumstances and wish to forgive and forget.

You speak of the people who DO like Favre as if they are some tiny, persecuted religous sect.

Lets face it, there were winners and losers in this saga. The people who thought FAvre had become a drag are likely pleased at the outcome. Its those who are unhappy with the outcome who want to keep fussin and fightin, for the most part.

Cheating: Not the right thing
Children: Not the right thing...but, we can let that slide in today's relaxed environment...just make sure we don't catch anyone here making jokes about illegitimate kids. BTW, he sure didn't marry deanna right away.

Of course all of us have made mistakes. But, we aren't going around talking about ourself other others as being "good people" who have done right all the time.

That is the point. Gex is ridiculous.

No one here is a Favre hater..well, they mite not like certain behaviors, but they dont' hate him. And, they admire what he did on the field.

But, when you start putting him in the jesus category or your parents..or as someone to be admited for their righteousness...then, you gotta expect people to call you on your post. Doesn't mean that i dont' like favre..i've long been one of his biggest apologists/enablers...but, that doesn't mean i'm blind.

This is spot on, and then they complain about how both sides are throwing punches.

I've rarely posted on the FAvre stuff. Hell, newer posters don't even include me in the Favre hate group but old posters think I'm spamming the board based in their blind emotional hate of all things anti-Favre.

I do want him to fail because I think he needs humility but I've been a big fan over his career adn I do not hate him. I just don't love everythign about him like some and when I draw a line people act like I'm calling him satan.

I guess I don't see where Gex is comparing Favre to Jesus. Gex asked if there was ANYBODY that you looked upon with great admiration or respect and then gave examples. No where did Gex say that Favre is Jesus. At least that isn't how I read it, at all.

So many of you just love to take the smallest things about any Favre supporters in here and run with them. and then for someone to comment about how they brought this on themselves? That comment was beyond uncalled for. People should be able to say whatever they want on here without getting flamed for it. Unless their name is Woody or JH :lol: lol

This forum really could use a good courtesy flush. Lots of people lately doing nothing but name calling and disrespecting other people.

She's kinda right about the place heading down the tubes. 8000 threads about nothing, endless name calling, a guy responding to every single post in the history of the board weather it's warrented or not.

Setup up an offical thread to discuss something? No problem, let's just keep starting new threads on the same subject.

I understood the strong feelings that everyone had on the Favre vs. the Packers situation.

But the personal cuts, juvenile name-calling, etc. vs. fellow Rats was pretty loathsome.

The personal cuts against Favre and TT/M3/Mark Murphy were equally below the belt.

Some days, I think Mad had to just pull his hair out and keep from nuking a lot of threads altogether. I doubt if I could have kept from blowing my lid.

Not to get too sappy, but we do need to mend some fences here. Otherwise the PR site will descend into JSO's depths and the poster's game is going to be more than a little contentious.

Damn right, DD. We did have some poster quaralls before the Favre saga, but those were either political or relatively minor. A lot of them now are from relatively new posters that got involved with the Favre debacle. I'm not gonna name names, but they know who they are. We've got some great new posters, I mean I think guys like boiga have been good additions. But the people that just throw insults and swear at each other, that's what makes this forum like JSO.

But what can be done? Mad's in a tough spot. You want to give your posters freedom, but you don't want to have chaos. Tough.
