Nice vid but why not put it in the "Brett the fucking Viking" thread? In fact why not all these other dorky Brett threads as well?

Sweet donkey fuck.....why not just start a Viking section to the forum? That would give us a place to put gems like "The Power of the Mullet".

I agree with Freak Out. This is getting out of hand. Favre is a Viking...he has his OWN thread...leave it there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!

Quite honestly I could give 2 shits about any Viking. Lets nuke their threads all together. Or maybe we should start a Jay Cutler Only thread and a Matt Stafford Only thread.

How about we talk about the Packers instead? This is after all a Packer message board.

Stop whining. As if we're going to stop talking about Favre - ever. Or other players and teams that impact the Packers - or not. People just need to have thicker skin. Insult me - I can take it.

You guys are being outrageous. If Favre stuff is not allowed, then any player not on the Packers should not be allowed. Whether you like it or not, Brett Favre is the biggest thing to come through GB in a long, long, long time and will be a huge part of their history. There is absolutely nothing wrong with posting this vid.

What about all of your ramblings about Ruvell Martin, another ex-Packer?

http://www.eteamz.com/LibertyvilleLadyCats/images/basketball.swish2.jpg

The fact of the matter is this: The thread was clearly labeled and you know what it was going to be about, yet you guys came in to "bump" it up instead of letting it die. If you had a problem with it, simply do not post in it. Is that really so hard?

Saying you can have threads about one player but not another sets a really ugly precedent and its not something I'm interested in being a part of. Where does the censorship stop, in that case? This forum was founded under a set of core beliefs. Start living them and stop bitching.

It's not like you didn't know what you were getting into. You made the decision to open the thread and make a comment about it. Take some personal accountability instead of trying to take away from others enjoyment.

Dipshit. That was ONE thread..just as there is already ONE thread about Bert. What point don't you get. Man, you are slow.

You are honestly trying to compare one thread about a recent departure in RM to multiple threads about Bert? LOL

Nobody is censoring anything. There is a Bert thread. Post bert related shit in that thread.

Wow. You really are a moron. How many of those were Ruvell Martin threads?

Your first link is to ANOTHER Bert thread. Talk about making our point for us. Another Bert thread in the packer forum.

The issue is THREADS started, not occasionally bringing up his name.

2nd link is about Jake Allen. Hmm. Wonder why RM would be mentioned. And, what is funny is you are so stupid. Ty didn't bring up his name...and was positive about him. LOL

Third link. Add any player from any team. Again, one can mention Bert or Ruvell. Wow. you are kinda dumb.

4th. YOU made ruvell the issue. The issue was about your opinions. You "bumped" a thread to make yourself look smart. Harv asked if we should bump old threads of yours where you were wrong.

Ty used your "gushing" over ruvell as an example. There was no talk about him. My god, it might help if you actually read the posts before you tried to use them to support your foolishness.

5th link. Ty responded to your QUOTE about MM and cutting RM. And, didn't even use RM in my post. My point was about MM. Sheesh. You are really a maroon.

6th link. In the badger forum. You opine on the talent level. ty notes your ability to judge talent isn't good based on Money Morency and RM. See, that is called relevance. The issue is your ability..thus we need some examples of your ability.

I'm not going to continue, as i can tell it will be more of this type of stupidity.

Aren't you leaving?

I know he is revered by a lot of fellow 'Rats, but let it freakin' go! Your admiration about him isn't going to bring him back. The vitriol spewed by those on the opposite side is turning a lot of us off as well.

Best thing to do, is not have all these extra BF threads. I respectfully ask Admin to please get this resolved.

It's one of the reasons, I have avoided posting as much as I had in the past.

I don't want to see any more Star-Trib or PioneerPress about the Vikings' players, which Favre is (for better or worse).

Dude, read my post. Was Brett Favre not a huge point of Packer history? It's a fair point to say that if Favre discussion is not allowed, then no non-Packer discussion would be allowed.

The thread is clearly labeled, and once again you came in here to bump it up to complain. Look in the mirror man.

This is no different than a Bart Starr thread, Lombardi, Wayne Simmons, etc. Not one little itsy bitsy bit at all.

While some of you may not want to read the clearly labeled posts, thats fine. Don't. It's as simple as that. Some of us may want to. Why ruin it for someone else because you don't want to read it? That's just selfish.

Ty, I'm not even going to bother reading your balogna justification. You claim to have done it in one thread, and I clearly proved you wrong. This is no different.

I see nothing has changed on this site. Same people arguing back and forth, same people thriving on the drama, etc. It's like more effort is being put into policing people about what they can and can't post and threatening them with "time outs" than actually discussing football.

Don't mean to sound bitchy, I just really miss the way this place was before the Favre drama started. It divided many posters around here and caused many regs to stop posting. Now that I don't live in GB anymore, I really miss the contributions and old "regs" around here who provided a great insight to the team.

Actually, if all the old Regs just came back and started posting in football threads, starting actual football threads and generally just ignoring the knuckleheads, the tide would turn. But we have a few too many knuckleheads right now. We need to alter the balance. But that can only be done by actual participation.

The formula seems so simple: Post in/read the threads/writers you enjoy, ignore the threads/writers you don't enjoy, and contribute your own ideas in a new thread. Critique arguments and topics and not people. Ignore those who attack you and not your argument and try not to attack others. It mostly works, although I'll admit I've broken these simple rules. Keep going.

About Favre: I am perplexed by those who seem to think it is an issue that can easily be brushed aside. Favre left in a flurry of chaos and controversy and he's performing extremely well for the fiercest rival the Packers currently have. Should it be surprising that people are all riled up over it? And will be for a long time? Is it unique to this Packer site?

http://packersnews.net/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=1

Doesn't have a single Favre thread on the front page as of this posting.

It's like some people deliberately do it because they know they'll get a certain response.

It's not hard to keep it Packers or related to things that might relate to the Packers or just generally interesting football conversation even.

But when it's "wow look at this Brett video doing this it's hilarious" ... well, come on ... do I (or anyone else) really need to explain this anymore?

There are a lot of Packer forums -- none of which I like more than this one -- that don't have this much Favre "drama" going on. Most have moved on or at least came up with a consensus decision to keep things Packers focused.

As for me, I'm not a big contributor because I'm rarely at my laptop. I use PackerRats as a news source on my phone and like to read what you guys contribute. The more I have to wade through junk, the more frustrating it becomes.

I think for each ex-player that gets frequently talked about, just throw it all into one thread about that player. That being said, that doesn't mean every Favre reference needs to go in the Favre thread, like Brady or Manning comparisons. I am as big of a Favre fan as anyone but it is a Packers message board. This is a Favre thread, plain and simple and should be in the Favre thread. Maybe we need a Favre board and everytime a thread gets posted in the wrong place, move it and warn them. Too many warnings, boot em.

As for Ty, it doesn't surprise me that he is the first to knock someone down, or the first to be a jackass. He after all refers to himself in the 3rd party so we know he isn't dealing with a full deck. Partial and I go way back and don't agree a lot, but in this instance, Ty got owned for the hypocrite he is. This isn't the first time, it won't be the last. When you talk as much shit as Ty does, you are bound to have it spill over your hip waders and get confused, not that Mr 3rd Party isn't confused about himself already.

I'll add my 2 cents. There IS a difference between a Favre thread and a Bart Starr thread. Many people are still bitter and will still be bitter until Favre retires for good. All wounds heal with time but that time has not yet come and will not come as long as Favre is a Viking. These types of threads ONLY induce flames and people who start them probably know that. There really is almost NO reason to post a thread like this which is dedicated to Favre when we've got a thread where all that stuff can go anyway.

I feel like this should be obvious but right now Favre is a touchy subject. Let me phrase it this way. Can anything good come out of a thread like this? Probably not. Can something bad come out of a thread like this? Definitely. So we don't need it on the main board as it's own thread. Post this link in the Favre thread.

How did Ty get owned. My point is exactly YOUR point. Threads don't need to be started about BF. Mentioning his name or referring to him or other players in context is completely different.

It might help if you actually read and then thought about what was written.

As for third person, it is a literary device. But, Ty wouldn't expect somebody who found "The little engine that could" to be challenging to understand using different literary techniques.

If you must ask......Snake is damn happy to put this in percentages for you, Ty...as I'm damn sure most all Rats are happy to read this (well I see you took on Channtheman's quote as your sig). I've always liked ChanntheMan, but at least I can spell his name right (you can't literary master ace), but respect his post to your defense (in one post on one topic..which begs the question just how weak are you to have to do that for a sig??)....I doubt anyone else defends your BS...so here goes in Ty's Getting Ownage:

1) Well...1% was you (the literary Master Ace of all aces in literary terms from Shakespeare to Hemingway) in not using proper punctuation. By using a question mark instead of a period you could have saved yourself 1%. That, sir, is irony.

2) Another 1% was using a crackhead jokester character for your avatar (Tyrone Bigguns), feigning respect (not just for others, of which you show none, but also for yourself), yet still claiming intellectual superiority over the average and good Rat poster post after post...Yeah, Tyrone Bigguns should be telling us how it is...I'd kick that guy in the nuts if he was real. You are as fake as your avatar. Must be clinching for something. Keep posting non-stop. We might not respect you, your posts, or your mindset...but I bet there's a legion that crave hearing you nit-pick/bitch about something in your myriad of posts. Keep it up. It's great. :roll: I bet that just draws in guests to join hearing your rip/nitpick/bitch non-stop....You are great to listen to, Ty. Personally, Snake has plenty of smart, Packer fan/knowledgable buddies that would love to join PackerRats, but can't stand your BS. I'm not scared of your BS. Your shit makes me sick, but I transpire through your BS. I'd hate to be Admin and cringe to your shittalking on EVERY topic. It'd be intimidating for a newbie/guest. Not Snake...You are a fake who's all about post counts.

3) 98% was you waking up and mistakenly thinking 10,000+ posts on PackerRats makes you a good poster, or thinking you are worth something in life. Snake posts on Rats cuz it's something to do late night on an off-nite to talk about the Packers. You post to validate your existence daily (24-7) with no friends/allies EVER. Truly sad are you, Ty. You are really, really sad. I'd hate to wake up as you. I'd either wake up and try and get my jollies baiting and trapping peeps with logic (Snake is smart as fuck too) and have fun with that..or just blow my head off. Look for the latter.

No one will miss your BS on here. Admin doesn't like to deal with it, nor do I (and Joe don't like you either...no one does)....but someone has to have some nuts. I have plenty. Snake ain't scared of you and your bullying techniques topic after topic. Go ahead try and fuck with Snake. Go ahead, Ty. I'll bury you. I've stayed off your shit for the past month, but can't stand you. No one can. Most are scared of you tearing into their posts. Snake craves it. If I was a MOD, you'd have been wiped years ago....and Snake is an Admin and Mod on 3 sites now (6 sites I'm on)....but you are cancer for sure.

When you get banned (you won't quit obviously), no one will miss you, care, or ask where Ty went. As smart as you think you are, Ty, you are basically a CPK....that is how you will be remembered.... Worthless and unmissed. Try and rape Snake's posts all you want, I don't care. That's how it is. Realize that, change...or be forgotten. Nobody likes your BS/negativity.

The battle of the only two people(that I can remember) who use 3rd person when posting on this board.

Quick question, what possesses either of you to speak in 3rd person? Is it to get your point across? Help yourself stand out? Or is it that sense of self-empowerment you get when one speaks of themselves in 3rd person?

I say it's strange, but you both have your qualities as posters(positive and negative) and that's enough for me. Why berate Ty like that Snake? Has he wronged you? Or did you just wake up with a little sand in your vagina?

Asshole posters are fine to me. It's the E-knights I can't stand.

I see nothing has changed on this site. Same people arguing back and forth, same people thriving on the drama, etc. It's like more effort is being put into policing people about what they can and can't post and threatening them with "time outs" than actually discussing football.

Don't mean to sound bitchy, I just really miss the way this place was before the Favre drama started. It divided many posters around here and caused many regs to stop posting. Now that I don't live in GB anymore, I really miss the contributions and old "regs" around here who provided a great insight to the team.

Actually, if all the old Regs just came back and started posting in football threads, starting actual football threads and generally just ignoring the knuckleheads, the tide would turn. But we have a few too many knuckleheads right now. We need to alter the balance. But that can only be done by actual participation.

The formula seems so simple: Post in/read the threads/writers you enjoy, ignore the threads/writers you don't enjoy, and contribute your own ideas in a new thread. Critique arguments and topics and not people. Ignore those who attack you and not your argument and try not to attack others. It mostly works, although I'll admit I've broken these simple rules. Keep going.

About Favre: I am perplexed by those who seem to think it is an issue that can easily be brushed aside. Favre left in a flurry of chaos and controversy and he's performing extremely well for the fiercest rival the Packers currently have. Should it be surprising that people are all riled up over it? And will be for a long time? Is it unique to this Packer site?

Many Packer fans have and will continue to observe and enjoy Brett Favre's success's. The bottom line. Favre was pushed out of Green Bay and unfortunately for Packer fortunes as his career winds down he ended up in Minnesota. I have Packer fan friends that still have a keen interest in him and applaud his dramatic leadership and success this season.

It concerns me that the Commissioner of this forum ( Zool ) holds such prejudice to actually get inflamed over a thread with any reference to Brett Favre. It concerns me that others would entertain such severe censorship. If we decide that everything Favre should be contained in one thread? Will that decision apease the censors, the drama Kings and haters on this forum? I think not!

What Packerrats needs is a purging of all posters that have made this forum what we feel so much in evidence today and to realize that existed long before the Green Bay Packers and Brett Favre parted ways. This is a Green Bay Packers forum and that should be the primary focus of the majority of threads here.

In no way should the censors and drama Kings be allowed to dominate and make Packerrats an uncomfortable place to visit and then have to put up with the bullies alternative that we go elsewhere.

Get rid of the real problem. The insane bullies and haters.

I've got no problem with anything and everything Favre in ' the Favre thread '. To make that policy going forward at Packerrats. Hopefully that move appeases the censors need to control the subjects that inflame their hatred.

This has become a place where 'the haters' continue to prevail and dominate over a majority of posters that want to come here and just feel comfortable, as Packer and football fans in general. What would this place be if the majority here decided to take sides and focus on the bullies? I don't have the time nor such negative energy for these clowns.

I acknowledge your claim that you have zero power here Zool. I disagree with you that the solution here at Packerrats is that we all ignore Favre's contributions to his current team and the NFL as a whole.

Here is where Partial's point comes in. Brett Favre was a large piece in the puzzle to turning the Packer franchise fortunes around after three decades dominated by frustration. It's just foolish, juvenile to completely immature behaviour and demeaning rhetoric to ever even imagine someone trying to convince me to treat Favre as a traitor (as a professional athlete).

Noone who has taken notice of what Favre did for our history, in all it's content, should impell us to ignore his exploits elsewhere. Noone should be entertained as noble, wise or correct in terms of offering that complete censorship of Favre is correct Packer justice.

It's just foolish, juvenile to completely immature behaviour and demeaning rhetoric to ever even imagine someone trying to convince me to treat Favre as a traitor (as a professional athlete).

Noone who has taken notice of what Favre did for our history, in all it's content, should impell us to ignore his exploits elsewhere. Noone should be entertained as noble, wise or correct in terms of offering that complete censorship of Favre is correct Packer justice.

No body wants to censor Favre. Just keep it in one thread!

Yes certainly as the line is drawn. One thread.

One former Packer, no matter how great, will not change that for me. When he's gone from the Vikings I will have the same disdain for them that I had in 87, 97, 07 etc.

I can never find any fault against him for wanting to extend an awesome career or for the exact means he uses to reach his dreams.

__________________________________________________ ____

As far as the Brett thing, Gex...yeah I hear ya, Favre is the greatest sports player I've seen this side of Michael Jordan (his championships trump Brett) but Favre's charisma/likeability/winning %/leadership abilities are truly unfathomable for his position. He might not have the SuperBowl wins (but I think those come with leadership at the top...Favre has never had top talent around him since '96), and Brett just wins year and year on out and at 40 is just amazing....prob. the MVP right now, and leading the league in most QB stats. What a stud. I'm first and foremost a Packer fan, but it's unbelievable what Favre has done at 40. I'm cheering on the Pack weekly and root against the Vikes, but if we (the Pack) don't win it, I'll cheer for Brett. No probs there. 4th MVP. He is amazing and so fun/charasmatic to follow.

Bingo!

I told wifey last week that he is the greatest sports figure the world has ever seen......not Ali, Jackie, or Jordan, Bird, etc... She told me to shut up! lol

Thread title should be "Favre saved Packers" he he....

I feel for the ppl that allow their irrational disdain for another uniform hinder their appreciation of an individual's beastliness. I used to be that way; allowed my love of the Celtics to ruin the appreciation I sholda had for Magic'nem. Of course I was like 12 years old then :roll: and hadnt experienced REAL life issues like heart attacks, death of loved ones, seeing the plight of some of the poverty-stricken families I provide therapeutic services for, etc.

Rushed home today to beat fedex with my cincy @ minny tix. Never in a million years could i have imagined Id go to minny for anything! Let alone a queens game. But im going b/c I want to be ENTERTAINED by brett that day. Dont wana hear no smack either b/c Im SURE ive been to more packer games than 85% of the Rats and posters at most other forums and own so much packer gear I have things with tags still on

That is completely fine by me. If you want to talk Packers talk Packers.

If you want to talk Favre, go to a board that is a Favre board not a Packer board like "PACKERRATS."

Death and hate to all Favre fans! rah rah rah! I hope all the bad things in life happen to you and only you!

Is this how you Favre fans see the other half? Some of us here root and cheer for a team while others seem to galvanize themselves to players. Packer nation could not be more divided.

It sickens me to see Packer fans rooting for the Vikings. It breaks every logical stance on why you support the Packers in the first place. You the V-acker fan(That's because you put the V before the P) have no place in traditional sports. Football more than any other sport is a TEAM sport. I wish you all would just become Vikings fans really. It's a traitorous act that I and I hope many other Packer fans never support.

However, if you do have to support Brentidict I believe it should only be done in secrecy if you ARE still a Packer fan. If you want to support him openly, by all means, follow your great messiah to the promised land. Follow him away from the evil TT who has no other goal than to drive your beloved messiah away and torch your holy land(the Pack).

You know, this is like a messy divorce and we as fans are the children. Some are going to pick mommy, some daddy, but neither is right. We are only right in our own minds because of the ways we justify the actions of what really happened. If you are a Favre jock supporter you think he was "driven out of town! completely cast aside like a used condom!". If you are a Packer supporter "Favre waffled and held the team at hostage. Probably the most disgusting display of sportsmanship and self over team ever seen."

We must agree to disagree or we are reduced to the pathetic squabbling that has ripped this board apart. Personally I dont care either way. I find Favre supporters ignorant and lacking in loyalty. But for the good of the board and all Packer fans we just need to go along to get along.

Just praise him in secrecy if you must, for he is the traitor.

I don't mind if the FFs come on here and post about Favre, just so long as they don't pollute the forum with excessive needless or repetitive threads. It's easy to ignore them. I totally understand it too. They are simply FFs (Favre Firsts) and don't care who he plays for - and they know they can meet up with other FFs here and slap each other on the back or post a bunch of happy congratulatory emoticons :bclap: :bclap: :bclap: Gex in particular is easy to ignore - I can't recall a single post of any significance in thought or insight Gex has provided. It's also advantageous to ignore Mobb - a good Christian (so he says) who hates other posters (SC), but reminds them not to hate because it is all ENTERTAINMENT. Dayum.

I think there are a lot of people who are agreeing here and simply don't realize it. There seems to be consensus that no one wants to censor the Favre stuff, just keep it in its own 180+ page thread. That was agreed on as a solution a long time (say, 180 pages) ago. No one wants to stop the discussion altogether, but most also don't want to wade through a bunch of Favre threads to find the ones that aren't about him only to find the discussion in other threads suddenly revolving around Favre. Other players have threads all the time and when half the first page is about them, then perhaps it would be appropriate for them to have their own threads too (like the VY thread).

I have no problem with the VY thread - or a new Favre thread about a new Favre topic . I wouldn't want someone feeling they needed to put a Favre topic in the Favre thread if it was new info - that would be stupid, since the Vikings are in our division and since people post new threads all the time concerning other players in the NFL with an interesting new story or angle or thought.

I don't see this unless other forums are scrubbed clean. Favre is a Viking. The Vikings are the top rivals of the Packers. Any Packer site that doesn't discuss Favre and doesn't revisit the Thompson decision is deliberately avoiding or scrubbing the issue. That is inevitable in sports. To think that you can have a Packer site without mention of Favre is laughable.

I agree. The biggest Packer issue of the last 10 years or so has been getting rid of Favre. So much heated conversation has gone into that. More evidence comes out every week.

It's not going to go away until Favre is retired (hopefully with no new SB rings) and gone for good. Honestly, I think the reality check of us rejecting him has him playing the most humble, quality football of his career (doing all of the things his detractors accused him of not doing). He had such a blessed existence in Green Bay, I don't know if he could have grown without having a real wake up call.

As far as the Packers go, they took a step back, but there is some hope. Favre definitely got some vindication for being a great player. Hopefully in the end, the Packers can get some vindication for being a great organization even without Favre. Hopefully it's a win/win. The little competitive Packer fan in me hopes our wins are bigger and sweeter, but I'm glad to see him become the best he could be. I don't think that was always the case here.

I think there are only 6 or 7 comments from those two combined in this whole thread and only like 3 that have anything to do with the original subject. Majority of the rest of the 4 pages is people bitching about the thread. That's the funny part....this thread would be long gone off the first page had people not consistently bumped it just to complain about it.

I agree with mraynrand, some BF discussion is inevitable. I also agree that the link that started this thread would have been better suited in the BF thread...to avoid what happened to the thread.

I don't mind if the FFs come on here and post about Favre, just so long as they don't pollute the forum with excessive needless or repetitive threads. It's easy to ignore them. I totally understand it too. They are simply FFs (Favre Firsts) and don't care who he plays for - and they know they can meet up with other FFs here and slap each other on the back or post a bunch of happy congratulatory emoticons :bclap: :bclap: :bclap: Gex in particular is easy to ignore - I can't recall a single post of any significance in thought or insight Gex has provided. It's also advantageous to ignore Mobb - a good Christian (so he says) who hates other posters (SC), but reminds them not to hate because it is all ENTERTAINMENT. Dayum.

LOL

I just finished reading this thread. It's classic Packerrat debate.....with 'the brakes on hate'.

Summing up the major point of discussion 'of merit':

Sometime around Nov./Dec. 2009 (early 2010) Packerrats arrived at a firm decision to try and calm the madness that once was Packerrats. This Forum was 'the Cage'. The leadership had to step up and reach a logical conclusion:

All things Brett Favre was to be posted in the enormous now.... Brett Favre thread.

Three CHEERS Packerrats!!!

That decision and the cooperation of posters here helped produce something unique and well.... wonderful for this awesome Packer Forum and it's owner. . . . MadtownPacker ? Is Mad still owner here? I hope so because we should as a general membership appreciate Mad.... It's IMO commendable what Mad has done keeping this Green Bay Packer Home... up and running as well as it has. For somehow sustaining his interest in the membership given all the crap that has gone on here at times.

I'm absent from Packerrats from July - Nov. I'm not easily able to post here. I live two lives. One in football season and the NFL Off Season when I'm trying to contribute to Packerrats. Exercise a freedom and privilege as a loyal member of Packer Nation (57 YEARS now).

Now my final point. If any member here ever imagined that my loyalty for Brett Favre as an NFL fan and amateur analyst ever surpassed my LOYALTY to and for my beloved Green Bay Packers!? That poster is flat out illogical and otherwise ...WRONG. It's just an example based on the common term: He/She wears two hats ....or .... many hats. I wear many hats. My life is amazing in terms of all the blessings I enjoy. There's not enough time in any day. My life is very exciting ...to me .......LOL. :-)

Finally I think it's appropriate ( specifically for me and at this time) that this thread was yanked from some dark and damp place. Maybe it was stored in a replica Favre Locker? Appropriate as a Packer fan that still follows and admires one awesome Packer....' The Legend - The Gunslinger ' Brett Favre and given this personal accomplishment.

I'm now as a proud Packerrat ' a member of the 25 K Post Club'.

I survived Packerrats at it's worst. All that never got to me as I knew that first:

I believed in Packerrats ! I deserved to be a member here. I know I always as a bottom line fought with integrity for the status this forum deserves and in my observation has achieved.

PACKERRATS IS.........NO. 1

As a Final Point and this post:

I couldn't help notice those posts in this thread that at least infer that anyone following Favre back then was disloyal to the Green Bay Packers. Favre was traded by the Green Bay Packers to the New York
Jets. Anyone can be a Packer fan and still follow the exploits of any former Packer ...even and more likely if his name is Brett Favre. When Ted Thompson dealt Favre all bets and Packer loyalty was out the door.

To feel or infer that Brett Favre was a traitor is ' sour grapes in extreme '.

In Pro Sports and concerning the word...loyalty; and asn fans surely this isn't a NEWS BULLETIN:

In terms of a Pro athlete's career - ' player and team and loyalty seldom make a soup'.


This is the best thing I can write:

GO PACKERS ! GO PACK GO !!
