Brett says the Packers are the best team. Bretsky has to find reasons why the Packers will lose. This should be a classic.

Check the facts first you friggin' amateurs at BSPN!! It's crap like that which makes me trust forums of fans more than "The Loser In Sports Television"
Because I think it's in your nature to want everything to turn out OK Zig. This is quality I can admire.
BUT - I have a much different feeling:
I posted something similar elsewhere, but I think it's yet another classless, selfish move by Burnt Favre to get the spotlight. The spotlight IS his drug. If the dude had an ounce of respect for any of the players or the organization, he'd just shut his big 'ol southern addict pie-hole and allow this current Green Bay Packers TEAM to have their moment thus far in the playoffs. Instead, he's gotta butt in with his opinion:
The originator of the email never asked his opinion about the packers as evidenced by the qualifying post-statement "if you are wondering"."I think they will win it all! I hope they do, if you are wondering," Favre said
If you're out there BF - shut the hell up and disappear until AFTER the Superbowl is over. You had your time, now butt out, stop stealing other players thunder intentionally or otherwise, and let THEM have the spotlight. It's THEIR time pal. Your time is over.
But I'm not bitter

It's interesting because several writers wrote in 2007 that Rodgers clearly had the best camp performance in 2007, and that if you went strictly by what they did in camp, Rodgers would start. Of course all agreed that Favre deserved to start, and that he would turn it on when the season started, as he did that year. That was when I first started to have confidence in Rodgers.
You could be on to something. Favre clearly wanted no part of an open competition for the job when it was offered in 2008.
I got to see Rodgers come out with Jennings very early for practice at Detroit before the thnxgivng game 2007. Guy was very sharp, completing everything. Deep outs to the sideline, comebacks, posts, sluggos, etc. etc. I was really impressed and was starting to think about Manning-Harrison connection stuff (since it was always well-publicized they threw 100 passes or so in warm up). I was a little shocked at how much they practiced together. Where was Favre? (He came out later for that typical team warmup they do). So in the back of my mind, I'm thinking the Rodgers has as big a gun as Favre and may be more accurate - and may be more connected with the receivers - at least Jennings. Then Favre comes out and throws a franchise record of consecutive completions! It was a great time because I knew that once Favre was out, they had this really solid guy ready to go - and the very next week they needed him against Dallas. That was really the beginning of the realization that Favre's time was limited to maybe one more year.
