Why blame Longwell ? He was one of the best kickers in Packer history.
TT lowballed Sharper to redo his deal; hard for me to blame him either
I'd rather not see Favre play in purple but I would not be ticked if he did either
Why would you be mad at him for playing for the Vikings? The Packers threw him away.. not the other way around. In my opinion, he is fair game to play for anyone, and to blame him for taking the opportunity to start on a good team is ludicrous.
Without starting this all up again, the Packers didn't "throw" Favre away. He did as much (or more) distancing from the organization as the organization did from him.Quote:

And if he keeps playing all these years why couldn't he just tell the packers he wants to keep playing. The more years he hangs on the more respect I will lose for him. I was on his side at first, but he's becoming Jerry Rice really fast.
I'm still going to loathe anybody who puts on a purple uniform, no matter who he is or why he's wearing it.Quote:

There's a lot more that matters the just the result, such as how we arrived at that result.Quote:

Why would you lose respect for him? That doesn't even make sense. As a Packer fan, you shouldn't care what they do. He shouldn't be any different to you than Longwell, or even Kevin Williams.
I'm sure there isn't anything personal. I'd want to play on the best team in a weak division as well. The Vikes are a QB away from being very, very good imo.
I didn't have a problem in my youth rooting for the Fran Tarkenton led Vikings, because he was enjoyable to watch. Favre is enjoyable to watch and if he ends up in Minnesota, I can promise you that for the first time, probably since Tarkenton, the Vikings will "really" sell out every game at home. None of this last second bailout by some company to prevent a blackout. That's why the Jets don't want to see him go, he is a money machine whether you like Favre or not and let's face it, that is ultimately all that matters in the NFL.
This could possibly be taken as to mean 'Favre sells'...........I have many fond memories of the 'discussions' Tyrone and I have had regarding this............ :lol:Quote:

I don't think Chicago fans give a damn anymore that Jim McMahon played a year with the PAckers. At least he still gets cheers at Soldier Field. And the Packer-Bear rivarlry in McMahon's era was red hot.Quote:

But I suppose I am biased. The Favre Fans seem so frantic in their desire for him to retire, that I figure there is bound to be some good fun it if he plays. :P
Plus Harlan would then toddle on down to the HHBaggy Dome and see BF play in his last games, eh?Quote:
