Honestly, I don't get this analogy. You have a relationship with your wife and obviously know your worst enemy. That would be emotional trauma one would live with forever because you know them all closely and on a personal level.
We are fans. They are sports figures.
We don't know the players, we don't know Ted, and we don't know the executives of the Green Bay Packers.
I agree with Esoxx; the dude helped me witness my first title so as an athlete I cherished watching him and that team and I cherish Ron Wolf for putting it together. Now they are gone. Brett Favre could take a shit in the parking lot of Lambeau field and I really would not care. Brett Favre could come back squrming to TT and MM with endless apologies and I really would not care either. Is he a douche...jerk...drama queen. Probably. But in the broad scheme of things all of this means very little to me and I've moved on long ago. As a fan it's behind me and I'm just enjoying what we have now.
LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?
What am I doing in this thread? Nevermind.

Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
The only reason the Packers made it to the Super Bowl this year is because Faver makes everyone around him better, and he used to be around the GB players. He saved the entire franchise single-handedly!! He's like a kid out there! He has intangibles!
I see a dead thread !

The Man...The Myth...The Living Legend
I was 20 when he was the starting QB on a team that won us a SUPER BOWL and brought back OUR Lombardi trophy after decades of losing and being the butt of any NFL joke...for that he has earned his lore in Packer legacy....no matter his personal pitfalls...I don't see anyone here bringing up any of the old timers personal faults off the field...THANKSBRETT
Baah
I don't remember any penis shots from Bart Starr.
Oh, and thanks Ted!!!!!!!!!

Well, after Brett going on Gretta and trying to take down the Packers leadership for not really trying. Let's face it, that was either a last ditch effort to hurt Thompson or a last ditch effort to get him fired so Brett could still stay on board with the Pack. He did hurt Thompson. People were calling him the worst names in the book and lynch mobs formed to call for his firing. Some people, me included, saw this as a complete horse shit act. So here we are. Thompson has brought this team to a point that Brett couldn't do in his last 10 years here and his last 13 years in the league (age 28 and beyond). I'd say he's vindicated and I'd say Brett owes him an appology because Ted was just doing his job to the best of his ability after all. And people who think Favre took the Packers out of the depths are confused. The Packers hiring football people to do football work and stikcing to it is what took them from the dephts and will keep htem there. Brett was a part of it, but that's it. Bob Harlan, to me, deserves the real credit.

Time to retire this thread. Say "bye" everyone.
My house is in Georgia but Wisconsin is my home.
bye everyone!
It's all good. The best thing to me is we had a great QB in BF, that brought winning back to GB. It all ended pretty sour, but these things usually do! BFD-I'll always remember his play fondly, but alas we have the good fortune of having another HOF caliber player in the QB position! How awsome is that? Nobody knows what the future brings, So AR needs to cement his legacy in 2 weeks. I for one will remember BF's era with great satisfaction, but have moved on to rooting for the next Packer great and barring injury this guy will be right up there with the best in the game as well! So farewell oldman---Now AR lets go make some more memories, its been a long time again!
Favre sucks, Rodgers is better.
i think during bretts time here most of us had this giant packer colored dome dropped over us and filled with favre kool aide until we were drunk with favre love and saw him as a god and looked past his many, many negative attributes
he went to the jets and the dome stayed full. then the packer bashing from him began and the dome cracked, then he went to the vikings and wanted the packers to lose at all costs and the dome drained and most of us sobered up
now we can look back and see the guy did a lot of good, but he did just as much, if not more, stupid things that cost this team. things like his texting adventures would have been overlooked in the old days, just like when him and chewy use to bar hop all over northern wisconsin sexually harassing every female bar tender they could find and just making complete asses out of themselves. even after he got "sober" this attitude continued, but we always turned a blind eye because we were so in love with him
well the love affair is long over after a very ugly break up, now most of us can look back and truly see all the bad that came with the good
If you want a half-way decent horse-laugh, read the very first page of this thread.
With the new trophy in hand, it's hard to think about giving a shit about BLF or some of the things people used to care about.
