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.Quote:

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.
It is always disturbing to read someone lambasting censorship requests, only to then state that posters should be censored. :lol:Quote:

Trust me Woody I have 0 power over this place. I'm merely the Fantasy Football commish. Past deeds are just that. In the past. The sooner everyone stops focusing on the man, the sooner we can all get along again. Well not all of us but the majority. That is what I'm advocating. This is after all a Packers forum and in the words of the immortal Nick Barnett in reference to Mr Favre "if you ain't with us, you against us".
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.Quote:

I rely on the real powers here to take every step to ensure the integrity of my Packer home and a comfortable place to visit.
When was the last thread censored? Who are these censorors? Other than the 12 lbs Turkey challenge thread I don't recall one!Quote:

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.Quote:

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!Quote:

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.Quote:

Dayum... :cry:Quote:

Heres my take... Some of us our tried and true Packer fans that root more for the person wearing the uniform than just the logo itself... its personal and we do get attached to the actual human beings wearing the logo....and I drifted off and lost interest in posting the rest...
3AM :oops:
I don't know what to tell ya, Mobb, but I tried in the past to PM Ty to work it out, as I have with others when there was a problem, to make peace...but to no avail. I guess I'll leave it be. I wish we could get along better.
__________________________________________________ ____
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.
I shouldn't respond, but ty will.
You sent me 2 pms. Both long ago. If you would like me to post what you wrote me ty will. But, pretending that you tried to work anything out is hilarious.
Ty has no personal issue with you..as Ty rarely responds directly to your posts. You have a issue. It is your problem. There is no issue/fight..as the only one fighting is you. Keep up your crusade. Doesn't bother me. I know the truth..as spoken by Thunder, Chann, etc.
Mostly, i laugh at your posts.
So call me...I just PM'd with my phone number. I see it is sent. Call me and we'll work it out.Quote:

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
Who cares, I know....but Mobb can be narcissistic sometimes too
That's quite a list there, but I'd still take Jordan over Favre. Championships are the trump card.

Please be courteous and use the Favre thread if you need to post BF here, that's all I'm asking.
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.
/rant off
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.Quote:

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.Quote:

I don't know a whole lot about this forum, but I would be willing to take a bet that Ty is closer to 40 than 12. Just my gut reaction.
Closer to 12.Quote:

Like I said -- and everyone ignored me -- there are plenty of other Packers forums around with NO excess of Brett Favre threads.
Look around, click your bookmarks.
This is the only site who is still having this discussion.
The general populous understands what Packer conversation is and what isn't.

Anyone who still can't see this are just doing it for the sake of doing it and argument. The original content of THIS thread doesn't make this forum any better of a "football forum" than any other.
OK, the original content part I'll buy. There is some troll-like pollution from the FFs, particularly the vacuous musings of Gex and Mobb, but you can ignore that. I still think it's interesting to discuss Favre in context of the Vikings and Packers rivalry and relative to Rodgers. At least half of all good sports talk are the "What ifs."Quote:

Unfortunately, it never stays there but somehow manages to disintegrate into the same old shit.Quote:

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.Quote:
