. . . Why does everyone take the Sidewinder's side when he is disrespecting the greatest packer ever. Without Favre, the Packers probably wouldn't be around, and the Sidewinder wouldn't have a job.

Maybe they are just defending him because of ridiculous posts like this. Calling TT names like 'Sidewinder' is immature and callous.

Saying the Packers 'probably wouldn't be around' without Favre is just plain ridiculous.

Oh really? 40 years of losing wouldn't have had the team go bankrupt or move shop? laughable.

This team was horrendous when Favre got here, and he turned it into a winner for 16 straight years. He made the Packers what they are today.

I may be wrong, but since the Packers are a public owned team, wouldn't the shareholders have to vote in favor of moving the team in order to set up shop somewhere else?

Bump for an answer.

I doubt it. They certainly weren't consulted on who the better player is and who should be the starting quarterback. They're publically owned only in the sense that tax payers are expected to foot more of the bill for their stadiums, etc. This whole event has shown how little MMurphy and TT care what the public thinks despite being their employer.

I am grateful that they do not run the day to day business operations according to what the "public" wants. If that were the case, a certain coach named Holmgren would never have been hired and the Packers would have probably not given up a 1st round pick for a back-up qb that was a known party animal at that particular time.

"They certainly weren't consulted on who the better player is and who should be the starting quarterback."

I think the fans should have a say in what plays are being called.
We could all have our cellphones wired directly to the quarterback's helmet.

No, but I think the owners of the company should have some say when the organization is screwing over its greatest player ever in favor of an unproven, injury prone first year player when they have as a good of a shot as any to win the super bowl.

Greatest Packer ever ? I think your youthful ignorance of Packers Team History has skewed your perception of reality...
