Favre, The Old Recluse...!!!???

Actually, Mobb....I think both. If Favre walked across Oneida St, he'd get mobbed. It's also one of the busiest streets in GB, so I can see not having him walk across or ride a bike to the locker room.

I give the same reasoning as to why Rodgers isn't doing it this year. Mostly to avoid heckling by some fans. While I'd like to hope that his immediate safety isn't in jeopardy, I wouldn't put anything past anyone these days. Especially after watching DeNiro in "The Fan" the other night. Forgot what a psycho that guy was!!

In Favre's case though, this is true. Can you imagine him walking or riding to practice?

Re: Favre, The Old Recluse...!!!???

Incorrect, I even checked on this. If a player drives to the Don Hutson center, he rides a team issued van there. Favre had the right to drive and park there on his own, including his own dressing room there where he kept his pads. And, Rodgers is riding kids bikes this year, but only once a day. Afternoon practices he rides a van down there because he has a longer meeting with McCarthy (thanks to the Green Bay Press Gazette for this buddy of mine works there).

It depends on what you're talking about. For regular practices, OTA's and mini-camp they drive their own cars. For training camp, yes they take those pertty white vans.

I have been at Monday and Tuesday practices and have yet to see Rodgers ride a bike at all this year.

I don't think there is a set routine for how they do everything. Lots of factors, including meetings afterwards and injuries also play a factor. So, your source at GB is partially correct, yes. But I live here, I know enough people to halfway know what I'm talking about as well.

Again, I defend stories like this because some people choose to hear the "Favre is too good to dress and shower with the team" type of thing.

No kidding, right? I haven't seen that happen for at least 10 years now. Although someone said he walked over during one mini-camp about two years ago. I find that hard to believe, but who knows!?!

While I think this issue is much ado about nothing, there was a photo on one of the Wisconsin newspaper's websites that showed Rodgers riding a bike.

Hence what I said about nothing being routine. ND said he takes a van to afternoon practices and rides a bike in the morning. I saw two morning practices and no Rodgers. Now, he could have taken it TO practice but not from.
