YOU'RE the one who said there was nothing he could do to turn the minds and hearts of packers fans. I was just giving you an example of how he could. I never said beg, you did. Way to twist words around to make your point. I never said what he did on the field didn't count, you did. The whole reason I give a shit about him is because of what he did on the field. That's why I want him to make amends! So I can go back to loving the guy and talking about how great he was without the "ya, but man, he sure did leave like the biggest, stinkiest, pile of shit I've ever seen."
It's also sure a helluva lot more than just 3 hours on a Sunday afternoon for me. I'm writing in a damn blog about the packers in the middle of May. I have just a bit more invested in the organization than a lousy 48 hours a year (plus playoffs). It's a hobby I take seriously and being so involved in it is what makes it so much fun. I'm going to take what happens to the team with more than just a little grain of salt. Brett Favre is the biggest baddest player of my lifetime to play on the Pack. Of course I'm going to get pissed at him when he takes a squat over the franchise and just has explosive bloody diarrhea over the whole thing.

I was just like you Smeefers, until the Lacrosse team shoved a parking cone up my ass. Then I understood that no matter how many articles or blogs I wrote the Packers and every other professional sporting event was simply entertainment and being misserable for days or weeks because a team lost was a bit pathetic. What was even more pathetic was dry heaving in my friends driveway because I was so upset that the Packers lost in the NFC Title Game. There is a time to walk away, and then there is a time to run away and seek help. The parting of Favre from the Packers helped me see the light.
Also when I threatened to beat the crap out of a 72 year old man at a fine Asian Resturant/Bar was a bit pathetic as well, but if you can't stand up for your heros who will you stand up for?
All of this is a true story, Skinbasket was there for the incident at the Asian Resturant, he was also there when I taunted the entire bar and they refused to serve us any more booze.

Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.
Totally Billy Madison, which is just a damn fine movie.
I really don't want to hear about, or from, Brett Favre until he is inducted in the NFL Hall of Fame. Is that too much to ask?

But.. but I'm not miserable for days and I don't throw up when they loose and I don't Threaten to beat people up. I just go "aww man..." and am maybe a little sad for a day or two (up to 3 days when we lost the SB in 97). But then ya bounce right back. It didn't even bother me all that much when we lost last year because...well, damn! 15-1, are you kiddin me!? I also get that me writing what I do here isn't going to change a damn thing. That's pretty elementary stuff. The only thing it is going to change is my perspective on the game. I come to this website to learn other view points and try to get a better understanding of the game. I mean, this topic doesn't have a lot to do with the game, but it's close enough for me.
So uh... what now? Hug it out?

Just tell Nutz you're impressed by how enlightened he's become by not being a Packer fan anymore, and everything will be fine.

So ' the NEW Packer Fan' must ... to qualify:
** Be inspired by and promote hatred with 'a CERTAIN' SUSTAINED PASSION'.
** Get all that out there on the WWW as the propoganda of 'the truly enlightened'. Gather up 'the hoard'. The more the merrier.
** Mock and ridicule anyone 'that doesn't stand down' to their stances.
** Label 'as losers' any " I thought I was a Packer fan ", fan, that continues respecting an obvious Green Bay Packer GREAT. That earns you an automatic disqualification.
*** It earns one 'wanna be' ... NEW PACKER FAN, extra status. A virtual badge of MERIT.
If you promote propoganda with as much vigor for distain and self righteous hatred as possible. It's certainly best to demonstrate true passion for blind hatred, and utilizing really bad manners while doing so for EXTRA bonus points. You know..... it's like laughing with 'the devil'.
In 'the real world' that attitude waters it all down to nothing to say beyond nonsence and poison commentary. It loses for you.
For 'the NEW PACKER FAN' it's just all a big 'SO WHAT'. Afterall.... 'YOUR' ... JUST HATING.
