OMG

My 4 Year Old Daughter, who is watching the Brewers with me, Just Said out of the blue

"Brett Favre should not have retired at the starting"


Kiara has it right

[Guiness]

Come on.. you're angry with the sidewinder for dropping the ball. He's a slippery snake in the grass.

I swear to Jesus, sometimes you are so queer, it makes my skin crawl.

I bow down to you Partial. If you can make The Basket's skin crawl...well, I can only wish I could cross the line by that much

TT is under a microscope.

GM's are always under a microscope. They know this when they take the job. He still has a job to do and he's going to do what's best for the team. His job depends on it.

Remember till you die this imscott72 :

... '' he's ( Ted Thompson ) going to do what's best for the team ... ''

if Favre is traded.

comment woodbuck27:

That isn't what's best for us right now, as we approach the 2008 season.

TC just opened.

Brett Favre is ready to play as OUR starting QB.

Most in their guts know that he deserves that chance.

We know Favre is a superior QB to Aaron Rodgers.

We know that Favre gives us again the best chance to win, get to and go deep in the playoffs.

We know that Brett Favre is well rested.

WE know that TT has to think he's still got it, or he'd be giving him away.TT is reported as wanting a first round pick. I read someplace a first and a second,, but that can't be I trust. That would be just stupid.

Now first round value in Ted Thompson is huge. We saw him only offer a 4th for the current highest ranked WR in the NFL. Randy Moss.

I could go on. I'll just flat out committ this. I feel strongly that Ted Thompson is making a huge error. I also understand 'the heat' he's under.

Man O man . That's heavy heat.

Packers Forever.

I don't know how you can say Favre is superior to Arod when we haven't even seen Arod play except for a couple games as a fill in, which he did pretty well mind you. Remember when Favre took over for the magic man? We were all pretty bummed about that too and look how that turned out. Listen I don't know what the right answer is here and I'm one of the biggest Brett Favre fans out there. I do think he's handled this all wrong and may have burned too many bridges to be our starting QB again. In the end I think we all want whats best for the Packers and we all have different opinions on what that is at this point.

Somewhere out there is a little girl named Favra I suppose.

And even she'd prolly agree with Kiara about Brett.

That is one of the dumbest thing I have ever heard.

FOr one Farve is a once in a lifetime QB. To think that the same thing will happen with Rodgers is just ignorant. I mean really. Rodgers may turn out to be great but the chances are he will suck. Most QBs suck thats just reality.

Second no one was sad when Majik man went down. It was 3-4 years after his majik 1989 year and we sucked. We had lost the first couple games and he gets hurt. I remember glad to see what we got in the trade.

I remember though being upset when Green Bya traded a 1st round pick for Favre who was a 2nd rd pick though. Thought that was dumb at the time

Thanks; when I was the director of T-Ball in Fort Atkinson I was all about trying to teach kids lessons. Had a young boy spout out that Girls can't play baseball and they aren't any good at sports. I made a bit of a spectacle for the kids and bet that I could pick out any girl on the baseball field to beat him in a straight on race and he said "no way".

At the finish line, I lined all the boys up with their hands up cheering for the boy and then lined up the few girls in that T-Ball group with their hands raised up to cheer the gal on in the race.

All this time, I knew there was this speed burner gal named "Kiara" that would wax this boy in the race. She was one of the fastest kids in the league and killed him in the race.

16 years later every time I see the 23 year old Kiara she reminds me of the race and how cool she thought that was....and I liked the name so after sharing the story with my wife and she liked the name as well we decided that would be the name of child #2

[MJZiggy]

Is she blazing fast?

[Bretsky]

Is she blazing fast?

My 7 yr old is very slow
Kiara is pretty fast as well; endless energy and a witty smart @ss for only being 4

So what you are saying is that it turns out that some of these professional football talent evaluators know what they are doing....like the one who trained TT......even when it looks bad at the time....like trading a draft pick so we could have san frans offensive coordinator for a coach....I mean no one does that. And drafting a QB in the first round when we already have favre, and cutting sharper, and letting longwell go, and letting henderson go, and finally replacing favre so we can prepare for the future.

For fucks sake even cliff christl would say its better to push a guy out a year early than a year late. I wanted favre back, til he retired. and when he missed OTA and mini's it sealed it for me. I also wanted him to take his own advice to JWalk...shut up and honor your contract, like not telling the GM who to trade for, or draft or or or...fuck it, this is getting really old.

Be careful. Truth and common sense can draw intense heat from the rabid, frothy ones.

All I know is that with all the love and happiness on this forum now, the Posters Game against Atlanta may have to have extra security in the parking lot!

Sure, you can't count on a HOFer following a HOFer, but it DOES happen. At least it did in SF. You can follow a great player with a good one if you PLAN for it, as GB has. Teams get into trouble when they fail to plan.

I remember a lot of concern when Majkowski went down. His problem was never his performance, it was his health. The word about Favre was that he was at least a year or two away from being ready. He was pretty unknown. No one was clamoring for him to replace Majkowski.
