This Is Not Favre VS. The Packers.

[PackerBlues]

I think its kind of funny, how so many people are now calling Favre a liar, and a diva. These are the same people that say stupid shit like "it's the GB Packers, not the GB Favre's". Saying that if you take Favre's side of things, you are not a true Packer fan,........ "because Favre is hurting the team". What a crock of shit.

Does anyone here honestly believe for one second that Favre ever thought that the Packers would simply release him? No, neither did I, and that is where the speculation starts.

Here is some more speculation, perhaps Favre is just taking a little time out of his retired schedule to let Thompson know how he felt about the rebuilding process that he had to play through. Perhaps he does not even want to come back, and all of this is his way of thumbing his nose at Thompson...........paybacks are a bitch!

For the record, there simply is not very much left of the team that I used to root for. Thompson saw to that while he was "not rebuilding". It's so funny, that while Thompson was "not rebuilding", he fired Mike Sherman, who led the Packers to five consecutive winning seasons from 2000–04 and three divisional titles in 2002, 2003, and 2004. He also sent Ahman Green packing, Ryan Longwell, Flanigan, Darren Sharper, Wahle, and Rivera..................... All of whom were what? Obvious underacheivers?

Forgive me if I agree with Favre, but I think that Thompson is in fact a lying piece of shit, who could not wait for Favre's name to be taken off the roster. But just because I would still root for Favre and will probably always dislike Thompson, does not mean for one second that I am less of a Packer fan than anyone else. The only person or thing being hurt by all of this mess, is Thompson and his legacy.......... not Favre or his.

You are not a Packer fan, you are a Favre jock strap licker.

For the record, there simply is not very much left of the team that I used to root for

What an idiot. So which year are you "stuck" in? Teams change every year. Players get hurt, retire or get traded or sign with other teams. Its part of the NFL. Are you one of the 4 idiots left that are still pissed about Javon Walker? lol

[Tony Oday]

Yeah that damn Thompson! Take us all the way to the NFC championship with the youngest team in the NFL that will only get better! DAMN YOU TT!!!!!

the only legacy being hurt here is the "everyman" legacy of Favre.

Sherman?? ROFLMAO

Re: This Is Not Favre VS. The Packers.

Favre called MM and TT to unretire. At the last second he changes his mind and stays retired. At the same time Favre is seen on T.V. saying he has not once questioned his decision to retire. We now find out that it is possible that Favre indicated that the Vikings were interested in him. Favre's complaint about TT is that he tells Favre one thing and then tells the media another. Hmm.

You can be on "Favre's side" and still be a Packer fan. But suggesting that there are sides makes me question whether you are objective. It is OK to look at the facts and make some conclusions about what you think is going on. It is the people who are hoping the Packers, Rodgers and/or TT fall fail (just so they can be proven correct) that I question. Are you one of those people?

[swede]

Calling someone a diva depends upon the frame of reference.

For example: Favre is not a diva when compared to Packerblues and her shrill complaints.

I suppose not. Your posts, however, may provide proof that cousins should not marry and perhaps calls into question the legitimacy of the Reedsburg public school system.

It's a tough battle here PACKER FAN, but I read/understand and sypathize with YOU and have your back.

There are alot of really angry, maladapted, and ignorant people here that atttack 'the poster' and not the post. I trust that the general membrship @ Packerrats recognized them for what they are. These are the ignorants that use bad manners in their style,curse at us and demean themselves.

SADLY WRONG. They also know 'no better' in themselves.

You and I debate with class and have OUR integrity 'in tact' man. Hold onto YOU.

Pretty strong statements, PB. Of course you've always been up front with your feelings, so no change here. To lay it all in Thompson's lap is not seeing the whole picture. Brett played a role in this issue. He retired, and is still currently retired. I have been out front in wanting Brett to be able to come back, however, I recognize what he might have done to be in the situation he is now in. It's not like they didn't try and give him an opportunity to come back. He stuck to his guns, PB. He stayed retired, and still is. I think what Brett believes would have showed him the love would have been for the Packers to keep his starter's spot warm, and keep the idea of his comeback alive, even when he was telling them he thought he was done (even up toward the middle/end of June). I understand the Packers moving forward. At some point, 38 year old QB's or ones at an advanced point in their career retire for good. I forgive the front office for not playing the guessing game on whether he was going to come back. It's their perogative. Now, could they change their minds in the front office and bring him back? They already said he could come back. OK, so what's the hitch? The hitch is, Brett wants to feel more love and be invited back as the guaranteed starter. I think he knew this was no longer possible, so he asked for his release. I don't mind that he did that. He was just trying to give himself a chance to sign with the team of his choice, that gave him the best chance of starting/making a difference. No problem there. He is, however, still under contract (and still retired). I wish that the Packers would see him as the best option, and see that a shaky farewell might hurt both the team's legacy and Favre's, and bring him back as the starter. I don't have much hope at this point that this will happen. Ted may not be as smooth as they come, but I do think they made a good effort to keep their finger on the pulse of Brett's situation, and finally just made an organizational decision to move on. I don't know if it was spiteful as much as it was based on what they were realistically getting from Favre. So, at this point, the only thing that they could have done differently to make some Packer fans happy would have been to keep his starter's spot available and guess that he was going to come back. I don't know how/if that would have affected off-season prep work, but it may have. They probably would have still taken Brohm in the draft, but perhaps not Flynn if they knew Brett's intentions sooner. Sometimes things just don't work out, but it's not necessarily because of malice. I hope Brett reports, and is willing to compete for the starter's job, but I don't know how likely that is at this point.

Woody, I think this is the only line you need to read:

, but I think that Thompson is in fact a lying piece of shit,

Who is angrier, PackerBlues and his blind hatred of anything TT does, or the people who call him on it or his other ridiculous crap?

How is calling TT a 'lying piece of shit' tact? Do you consider that a line of debate with integrity?

Well you asked for it.

You specifically agree with the guy who is a parody of you. His posts are about 90% tongue in cheek and you always cheer him on. You also accuse posters of attacks, while you yourself attack other posters. It doesnt matter if you only attack your select few, you do take personal shots. I generally skim over your posts of late unless someone says something specific about it. It saves me time that 9/10 posters here realize you're about as sane as the indian from One Flew Over the CooCoo's Nest. They keep you sufficiently "oppressed".

Now go smother Campbell and throw the water fountain through the window.
