OFFICIAL BRETT THE LIVING LEGEND THREAD

[Administrator]

Yes! Way to stand up for yourself B. To set yourself aside from all Packer fans that reduce themselves to hatred. How pathetic such Packer fans are.

You know who you are. Your hatred diminishes you as a person and an NFL fan. I believe that your responsible for your own karma.

Green Bay Packers one and out. Does your hatred deserve more?

WOW! Put your tinfoil hat back on!

Knock it off Dan.

[Scott Campbell]

Those of us that elect to remain civil and sane in how we approach the whole Brett Favre fiasco and in terms of our love for the game of football and the NFL as a whole will always be the winners.

Very classy.

[Joemailman]

Go Tony Romo of Burlington, Wisconsin!!

[Bretsky]

Never bought into any of this much. Green Bay has been eliminated. If you cheer against the Packers to win I might question somebody as a Packer fan...but they are done.

You wanna cheer for Jim Leonard; cheer for the Jets. Fine by me
Wanna cheer for Romo; cheer for the Cowboys; fine by me
Wanna cheer for Sharper; cheer for the Saints; fine by me
Wanna cheer for Favre and Longwell; cheer for the Vikes; fine by me
Wanna hate any of those above; fine by me

And I'm not above or below anybody else in here, nor am I qualified to judge anybody as a Packer fan...based on the above

10-4, over and out!

I'll be rooting for Bert to humiliate himself on national tv this weekend, because he deserves it. All his enablers and excuse makers deserve it. The Vikings deserve it. But I'm not sure he will. He's playing really well this year.

Gex battling Packerarcher for Troll Of The Year.

Why I am flattered,I didn't think anyone had noticed. Get over it people,just because I see without G&G tinted glasses does not make me a troll. I am a realist,and I call them like I see em.

Kids these days
I write this,
"Well, now that the conflict of the Packers and Favre both in the playoffs are no longer an issue, everyone should feel free to root for the Packers all time record holder to get himself another ring and finally ride off into the sunset."















And get childish name calling in return

Because you wrote a childish post. Get over yourself and stop bringing up Bert.

If you can't see that just because the Pack lost that the conflict isn't an issue then you are clueless.

Hint: Bert plays for the vikings. Nobody hear wants to root for the vikings.

What the title of this thread again?
Why are you (or anyone for that matter) even opening the Favre thread if you cant stand to read about him?
Does anyone have a logical answer to that?

The thread is titled Bert favre.
That doesn't mean you can be childish and not expect to get called on it.
Who said we can't stand to read about him. Who said this thread was supposed to be a positive thread? this thread was about feelings one way or the other about him.

If you want logic, what logic is there in rooting for a vikings QB and team to win a SuperBowl if you are a pack fan.

Talk about childish and pathetic, a bunch of grown ups (boys, I assume) You guys still haven't figured out WHAT you want ? I was messed up for a while too, until I realized I still loved the Pack - but following that, I was still a Brett Favre fan too and probably always will be. So far it "works" for me.

So today I am sad that we lost to the Cards yesterday, shouldn't have - but
if our Pack can't go on, Brett can - with the Vikes' help. Moreso Brett's of course.
Good Luck in your search for an answer, hope you all retain your sanity. I'll check back in a month or so.

WE have figured out what we want. The pack to win. You haven't. You are rooting for a team and a player on another squad. How fucked up is that.

It is asinine. Should pack fans also be darren sharper fans, longwell fans, etc.

Should Ty post, "hey pack is out, but now you can root for sharper."

What's wrong with rooting for Darren Sharper? He plays for the Saints now.

Exactly my point. Where are all the sharper fans posting for us to root for him.

Remember Darrell Bevell's run in the Rose Bowl?

And how well Brad Childress ran the offense. Hand off the ball many, many times....and then TE in the flat,

That was a kick ass offense.

Chilly didn't run the offense. BA ran the offense. Chilly merely executed the orders BA gave.

Wrong on all 3 points, but I'm not gonna get into the back and forth with you on it Ty, I've seen how those end(or don't end) with you.
My friends and I were all cheering hard for the Pack to win on Sunday, and like I've said before, when Favre leaves Min they can lose every game as far as I care.
Its kinda like kids in a divorce..do we have to pick one over the other(there is no way a normal person can love/like 2 things at the same time....does not compute..does not compute...blam! )
I think Mobb might have it right when he says "evolve" past the hatred and name calling. I've gotten past the dislike for TT and see how he has gotten our Packers heading in the right direction.
It's ok to be conlflicted...You can love 2 things at the same time..EVOLVE...its not the end,its just football...Favre will retire soon and I don't believe any Favre fans will be converted to purple passion..like Bretsky said, I too know of many diehard Pack fans rooting for Favre now.

Evolve? LOL

More like devolve. You prove it by your statements. You worship favre and not a team. The vikings can lose after favre is gone? LOL

The sport is about teams, not about players...to bad you don't understand that, but i guess all the stern marketing of the NBA and how it affected the NFL has just fucked you up.

ok

New page bump.

[Administrator]

both sides of this psycho debate are entitled to think whatever they want and to "feel" whatever they want.

When this discussion devolves into personal insults directed at a particular person or group of people I'll step in.

If it continues, I'll shut the thread down, and there won't be another one.

I've given great latitude to the debate, (which should have ended 2 years ago), but this is getting past pathetic.

Root for who you want, or root against who you want, but stop insulting each other in the process.

[Bretsky]

Just some random thoughts

A good couple years ago PR was ambushed with too much Favre stuff. While it was never really mandated, pressure and common sense led to most of the posting about Favre in this thread. Good intentions as there were too many flame wars.

Originally I think those that would have preferred to cheer for Favre were in here more it seemed and some even hinted that this should be a thread more for the fans and less for people who detested the guy.

As time wore on it seems to me more and more people who detested the guy came in here, and more flame wars occured in this thread.

I completely agree there is no need at all for personal insults.

I also think there is no need to judge any fan based on his viewpoints regarding Brett Favre, Javon Walker, or anybody else for that manner.

I'd hate for this thread to be closed down because it's turned into what many did not want it to be turned into.

I'm think there would be a portion that would love to see it closed down forever so the threat of even doing so might spur some on to try to make that occur.

Some clearly don't want to read about Favre or his accomplishments anymore; perhaps the solution is that group should stop reading this thread in hopes that this would turn into a positive thread with less confrontation.

Or, go back to what some originally thought this thread would turn into...a one stop spot for people who support him to post so multiple threads are not being made in the football forum about him.

Just my thoughts

Any clear attempts at this won't work. They'll join partial and the thread will continue.

Bretsky, the issue is on both sides of the fence. both sides have devolved to insults. that tells me that there is nothing left to talk about.... but hey that's me.

if it were one sided, I'd have dealt with it differently but it isn't.

[packerbacker1234]

I sort of cheer for my division first, NFC, then whoever.

Like when the bears and sexy rexy were in the super bowl a few years back.

1. Rather see the bears win a ring then Peyton Manning.
2. A win secures, most likely, Sexy Rexy as teh future QB for the bears
3. It's a love hate relationship.

Super Bowl wins by teams in our division make our division look better. The better our division looks, the more it means next season when you beat division oponents.

Aka: Once the pack is out, I don't think it's shameful to root for the vikings, or any other team in the playoffs. It is what it is. I like AP, I like Favre. I like LT and Philip Rivers. I don't like Romo and Dallas. (almost by default). I like drew brees, but hate reggie bush. I like the Jets D and Thomas Jones - I don't like Mark Sanchez.

I have reasons to like and hate every team from here to the Super Bowl, and really I don't think your less of a packer fan if now you cheer for a Favre lead vikings team. the reasons to cheer are obvious: We are mostly cheering for Favre, and are we not allowed to without being rediculed? Yeah, some of us still like the guy who became a HOF QB playing 16 years for the pack. Just like I am sure some ram fans still like Kurt Warner and are cheering on the cardinals. Or back when Joe Montana was shown the door in san fran and played for Kansas City. I am sure many a niners fan cheered him on.

It's more or less to me: My way of showing my appreciation for him as a player. He is exciting to watch, and I still enjoy him on the field. I am sour about how both sides handled things 2 years ago, but that doesn't mean I am anti-rodgers. I am not, we are very lucky to have AR. He is our present and future, and we will continue to a build a championship team around him.

The point is: Let people cheer for who they want to cheer for. As long as we cheer for packers firfst, who cares who we cheer for second? If the packers and vikings were playing this weekend, no doubt we all root for the packers right?
