OFFICIAL BRETT THE LIVING LEGEND THREAD

[esoxx]

What I have trouble deciphering in this whole discussion is:

1. When is it "respectful critique versus malicous bashing"?
2. When is it "healthy fanhood versus blind whorship"?

This isn't hard.

1. Respectful critique: "Favre handled this situation poorly, he's not bigger than the team and shouldn't receive any special treatment."

Malicious bashing: "Favre is a piece of shit, garbage and an asshole."

2. Healthy fanhood is the former in the above scenario. The blind worship crowd I put in the same extremist camp as the malicious bashers.

Thanks GBR...................he still looks pretty good.

"Pretty good" ??
I'll take your pretty good and raise you 10....lol

The man just gets hotter as he gets older. Sorta like George Clooney!!

Speaking of which...I see that Brett's official site now has a Jets forum section in there for new members. Those people would be the blind worship crowd that you refer to. You probably will find the people who were walking around holding "Fire TT now" signs and that 6 year old who was cursing at Aaron, posting over there.

If some people post this type of thing in anger, maybe it's time to look inside...let go of the anger, it's not healthy!!

you're the one with anger, dearie. why are you still making these speeches? You call people who criticized Favre's outragous behavior "bashers" and "haters." And you lobbied for Favre to be released rather than traded so he could play for the Vikings and fulfill your need for vengeance.

Let it go - it's not healthy.

My grandmother used that word all the time in scolding my aunt. She also used Depends.

It's kinda funny how HH gives me a sermon every time I post anything about Favre. I've noticed that. It's almost like Jr. stalking. :P I think when I post about Favre he gets these deep seeded guilt feelings so he must lash out. It will all be ok HH.

If there's a chance to stir the pot, HH will be there. BTW, the only QB I've seen him defend until he was blue in the face (hehe) was Michael Vick.

posted anything about Favre?! you just took a 20 minute turn on the pulpit to condemn people who disagreed with you on FAvre's behavior. The you have the hutzpah to accuse someone who responds to you a delivering a sermon.

At first I was really bewildered/hurt by all the Favre bashing I would read before/during/after the trade. To thousands of Packer fans the guy was gold for years and it seemed heartless and cold to me to see some turn their backs on him. Not those that were just ok with moving on and knew it had to happen at some point, but those that attack him relentlessly and try to pretend what he did for the Packer organization over the years meant nothing. Pointing out his flaws, rather than appreciating what he brought to Green Bay. I believe some of those are just plain old assholes and don't really "get it". I believe others, although they may not admit it, are just angry. They are angry that "our" Brett Favre is playing for another team. Nobody EVER thought that would happen. I suppose I could understand some anger if he was playing for an NFC team, but he's not. Some people really need to let it go....be happy reliving the Favre era and the fact he largely contributed to the Packers being a winning organization for years and years. Cherish the memories of games that other QB's would not have won. Hold close to your hearts him going out on that field after his Father passed and giving us the performance of a lifetime.

When I read posts from people downplaying what Brett Favre meant to the Green Bay Packers over the last 16 years and doing nothing but bashing him now, I can only think of one thing....you may be a football fan, but you are surely not a Green Bay Packer fan. To not appreciate everything that man gave to the Packers is just plain old idiotic. If some people post this type of thing in anger, maybe it's time to look inside...let go of the anger, it's not healthy!!

I will always be a Packer fan, but I will still always be a Brett Favre fan as well. I'm wishing the best for him with the Jets!!! Go Packers, Go Brett, Go Jets!!!!

what do you call this? I call it crap. and why don't you stop lecturing people on the other side of the argument? MOVE ON. Most people are sick of it.

Hmm, then I think the intelligent thing to do would be to stay out of the "OFFICIAL BRETT THE JET THREAD". You sure have become a grumpy old blue dog.

So essentially you're trying to tell 7 what she can and cannot post? Is that really your job here? Can I tell you to stop posting shit? If I do will you listen?

Holy hell. I almost coughed beer out my nose on that. Alright, I did.

I went to our first HS school football game and a football dad and grandpa walked in wearing "Favre--#4--JETS" jerseys.

It was my first chance to have an actual emotional reaction in real time to people representing Favre fandom over the Packers or even over the local HS team. I had heretofore staked out a mildly negative position on the issue, but I hadn't actually seen anybody wearing a Favre/JETS jersey.

My reaction was immediate: I hated them and assumed they'd be voting for Obama.

Move to NY you bastards!

So...now I know how I'd feel if I saw people wearing Favre/JETS jerseys.

Does anyone know what they're doing with the old Brett Favre wing in the Lambeau locker room? Does Donald get it based on seniority? Or is he just happier being one of the guys?
