The Laughing Stock of the NFL

Re: The Laughing Stock of the NFL

Way to go, Management. Fuck you guys, I am ashamed to have my team and state affiliated with such a aresenal of Asshats. Vince is rolling over in his grave over this balogna. My goodness gracious, how the organization has taken a term towards the classless.

I think Vince would have told Brett to get lost on June 20th.

This.



And the Packers are far from the laughing stock of the NFL.

Its not like 31 other teams were lining up to sign/trade for Favre.

Indeed!

HHHMMMM,
Why is it every time I turn on ESPN or any other sports show they are laughing at Packer management and saying how bad they handled this situation? FORMER NFL PLAYERS.

Oh thats right, the haters on this forum are way more knowledgeable than everyone else,

Cause ESPN is on Favre's nuts. They've got the left, you've got the right.

If you look at local writers or just other websites (* Hint - NOT ESPN) you will find a lot more support for the organization.

I've generally found this to be true. Favre has a lot more support from fans on ESPN, the same fans who don't know the whole story and just believe a legend is getting a raw deal. The closer you get to the situation, you find that people who actually know the whole story back the organization.

Former NFL Players? What, because they played in the NFL they are more knowledgenble. You think in 20 years we're going to be turning to Marshawn Lynch and Patrick Crayton for NFL analysis?

A good portion of the posters here know more than the talking heads on ESPN.

I don't buy it the whole thing has been dragged out for the whole world to see.
Everyone knows the story that we know.

I highly doubt most people, whether they be ESPN analysts or just users posting comments on articles, check message boards to anywhere near the frequency that we do.

We are the diehards, we know the ins and outs, we know the whole story. They are just famous people with a mic placed in front of their face. I respect most posters' opinions on here (whether with me or against me) a lot more then I do the "analysts."

Because these are the same people who guarantee that the Patriots will go 19-0. The same people who said the Patriots now hate their coach after letting Lawyer Milloy go (same season they won Super Bowl No.2 I believe).

Ex players do not run teams or personnel depts. They are at times less informed than you, who study this matter daily. Trust me when I tell you they think about this for a very short amount of time. And since their value is having played the game and been in the locker room, their best insights might be if they actually came to Green Bay, peeked into the locker room and stayed for practice. Which they don't

Ed Werder still thinks people left the scrimmage to see Favre at the airport and he doesn't realize that the scrimmage was under rain delay. He also thinks that Greg Jennings was wide open on Rodger INT. He still doesn't know that it wasn't Jennings and the coverage was good.

If any of the heads on ESPN came to Green Bay, they would realize that at least a plurality of fans are backing the team. If you limit it to the future of the franchise, support for the franchise is over 60%. Favre is below 50% approval.

But listening to ESPN, I keep expecting Favre revolutionaries to overrun the state. They have no idea what is going on.

Because you see only what you choose to see. There's the same amount on both sides. Not that you care about other opinions.

How many GMs and coaches in the NFL are ex NFL players? How many team presidents?

There are three teams currently lusting after Favre (if you believe the Minnesota connection). According to the same talking heads, there were upwards of a dozen teams who could use Favre.

Where are those teams in the chase? Apparently the ESPN heads think they are a laughingstock too. How many of the talking head players speak to active NFL players about this? How many speak to GMs and coaches? Virtualy none, assuming if they did they might mention it on the air.

Go ahead and side with the ex players. I will take the judgment of 29 NFL teams.

First of all, ESPN is so far up BRett's ass they know what he had for breakfast yesterday. ESPN is not an objective newssource. Second, Players will ALWAYS side with players. ALWAYS.

Well the Packers currently employ one both as GM and as team president. The Lions have Millen.

Re: The Laughing Stock of the NFL

I think Vince would have told Brett to get lost on June 20th.

Yeah, from what I know of Vince the only thing he might have done different than Thompson or McCarthy was "Trade him sooner, for anything he can get."

Vince would have told Brett to get lost on June 20 and traded him on June 21.

It's odd that Partial would have cited Vince in his invective since Vince Lombardi was a firm believer in two things:
1) No player is bigger than the team.
2) Get rid of a guy a year too early, never a year too late.

Thats funny because Forrest Gregg retired 5 times and unretired 5 times and I am pretty sure they didn't send him packing nor did he have to win his job back.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Do yourself a favor, Partial, and write down a timeline of events regarding Favre and his retirement--from early speculation several years ago all the way to the present situation Favre has been the instigator of one distraction after another.

It is incomprehensible to me how someone with an opposable thumb and the ability to turn on a computer could lay the fault for this situation solely upon the Packers and Packer management.

But a cross-dresser came to my garage sale looking for women's clothing and he had barrettes in his beard and for the life of me I couldn't figure that out either. Was he thinking "Go ahead and stare; I live life on my own terms," or was he thinking, "Everyone thinks I'm sooo pretty in these new sandals."

Edit: I can understand the cross-dressing thing and believe that a person's psychological identity isn't necessarily tied to gender. But why wear a beard? Why wear a denim mini, a purple blouse, high heel sandals, falsies and make up and then grow a long, long beard?

That's as crazy as blaming the Favre mess on someone other than Favre.

See! I knew I had a point.

Edit#2: The purple blouse was really pretty. And he bought a nice pink sweater that kind of brought out his blue eyes.

I laughed my ass off on this one Swede! This needed to be recognized.
