OFFICIAL BRETT THE LIVING LEGEND THREAD

[RashanGary]

Life is too short to hate

part of me wants to see him get clobbered.

Did I say which part of me wants him to get clobbered?

I didn't, but if you hadn't assumed the worst (which says more about yoruself than me) you could have just asked. In that case, I would have said, "I think he needs a little humility and some hard times might be what are best for him".

So it's tough love. I like Brett Favre, the person. I just think he needs a couple tough lessons a little later in life than usual.

Instead, he lost his dad, listened to those who were hired to kiss his butt and went down this road.

Who was hired specifically to kiss his ass? How much is he/she getting paid?

His agent mostly, but you could include all of the media people he talks to that kiss his butt to get stories or write books. You could include extended family or friends that want to be around him because he's famous. The sentence is a little misphrased when it stands alone. However, in the context of my post I think the stardom, fame and fortune theme was expressed well enough for you not to pick out one, incomplete line the way you did.

Your opinion, I guess. I just don't see any facts to base your opinion on. You say he needs a little humility and he needs a couple tough lessons.
You are happy he is no longer a Packer. That's fine, but don't make stuff up or act like you are in some way a judge/jury and can decide how much humility he does or doesn't have or if the guy is in need of a couple tough lessons. The reality is you don't know those things. Seriously, just say you are glad he's gone and leave it at that.

Dang! You are right........bad me, posting anything about Favre.

Oh wait, deja vu all over again....

It's the Favre thread. Did you take a wrong turn?

[Harlan Huckleby]

I was just repeating a Yogi Berra-ism, I never write my own material, and my commentary was not exactly directed at you, ("you're so vain, I bet you think this post is about you ....") it just seems like I took a wrong turn into a two month old thread. Perhaps I fell through a fold in the space-time continuum.

("you're so vain, I bet you think this post is about you ....")

Stalker! :P

[Harlan Huckleby]

i don't need to stalk you, if i wanted you i could have you any time i wanted just by dropping a hint.

I'm looking forward to the Jets game. A part of me wants them to make the playoffs so we get a higher pick and another part of me wants to see him get clobbered.


win/win I guess.

So, would a concussion suffice? Ruptured spleen? Or do you just want a lot of hits on him and make him feel his age?

I picked it out because it demonstrates your bias. I get that you want Favre humbled. I just don't see him all that different than he was. Given his history, he's probably going to see himself as at least a little bit bigger than life. That he has a reasonable amount of humility actually impresses me considering the adulation he's received from people kissing his ass (that probably weren't 'hired' for that specific purpose). I think he's had plenty to knock him back to earth. He's still struggling coming to grips with the reality that TT and MM thought the Packers are better without him. It's pretty easy to see that that bothers him more than anything else. Given his comments about how much he hates practicing and almost everything else except playing, I almost suspect that proving TT and MM wrong may be the only thing motivating him - both in a competitive spirit way and with a bit of vindictiveness as well.

It was a good paying gig til some illegals said they would do it for less....now the market is shot, kissing ass is a low paying job.

Maybe MM and TT think about it like I do. Were not better off without him under center for this game. No way. We are better off without all the antics and uncertainty. The offseason will be way better. We theoretically should be better off long term with a more experienced Rodgers.

But were not a better team for it this week.
