This just popped up in my Tweets.

RT @JuddZulgad: Favre: "I see us sitting here next week having this press conf. again. If that doesn't happen, to me it will be a shock."

Hot Damn!

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

That is about as dead on as a post can get

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?[/quote:8ffdd12612]

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.[/quote:8ffdd12612]

Chilly didn't run the offense. BA ran the offense. Chilly merely executed the orders BA gave.[/quote:8ffdd12612]

He was a chauffeur for Barry's orders? Now he takes orders from Brett? I am starting to feel a little pity for Brad.

He is a kick ass chauffeur.

I loved watching Favre play as a Packer and will continue to enjoy watching him play. Call it what you want. What he did at age 40 is pretty incredible. Hope he catches another ring. Wouldn't matter to me who he is playing for.

107.2 passer rating - highest of his career (previous best 99.5 in '95)
7 interceptions - fewest of his career as a starter (previous low 13 in '96)
33 TD passes - most since '97 (had 38, 39, 35 in '95, '96, '97)
68.4% completion percentage - highest of his career (previous best 66.5% in '07)
4202 passing yds/262.6 ypg - 3rd best of career (4413/275.8 in '95, 4412/263.3 in '98)
7.9 yards per pass attempt - highest of his career (previous best 7.8 in '07)
9 total turnovers (INTs + fumbles lost) - fewest of career (previous low 17 in '94, '95, & '96)

I still feel he will always be a Packer at heart. When all is said and done no matter what happens, I think his fondest memories will be of the years he played with the Pack and support he had from the Packer fans.

Nice stats 007. Brett is still a beast at 40. Now that the Packers are out of it, I'll root for Brett getting ring #2. I'm a HUGE ARod/Packer fan, but always loved Brett (love seeing him play), as there's not many players in sports I've loved watching play (knowing you won't get to see the same caliber/type of play again)...Jordan, Favre, Gretsky, Montana, Neon Deion, Mike Tyson, Paul Molitor (loved that guy with the Brew and Jays for clutch plays)...

I don't care that most will hate hearing about Brett. Arod proved EVERYTHING to Snake when that OL got solved up and he started playing it safe in the 2nd half of 2009, as he's really, really good and love ARod, but still love some Brett Favre. His mechanics/mannerisms/leadership/charisma set him apart from the greats....and just love to watch him. This isn't a list of BEST EVER, but the guys I most loved watching play. I enjoy seeing Favre play, esp. at an MVP level at 40. I'll root for him to win a SuperBowl this year. That guy is amazingly fun to watch, even on a rival.

All those stats prove is that MM was right. Bert refused to do this with the pack.

Stubbornly, willfully, and deliberately refused to do what MM wanted.

Thanx Bert. Idiot.

That's the part I do not understand. Coach after coach tried to get Favre to take better care of the ball, and it didn't sink in until he was 40. Did his season with the Jets finally get it through to him? Did getting rejected by two teams in two successive years finally open his eyes?

What might have happened in some of the Packer seasons, and some of the packer playoff games if he would have taken more of the approach that he took this year.

For all of the stats he racked up as a Packer, I never felt he was as good of a QB as he could have been. This year, as a Viking, might be his best.

Really? You don't think it's constructive to discuss why he suddenly decided to actually take care of the ball and not throw stupid INT's? Or why after all the years of "I'm a gunslinger, just trying to make a play" he started listening to what the coaches wanted him to do?

Your post was real constructive though

Instead of trying to bait him into a fight with you, why don't you tell us all why he's wrong?

[MichiganPackerFan]

For all of the stats he racked up as a Packer, I never felt he was as good of a QB as he could have been. This year, as a Viking, might be his best.

I think this is the core issue of why I was/am so pissed at him about the whole situation. I feel he didn't care enough to put 100% in until he was playing for a bitter rival.

LOL...Ty's so transparent! Patler pretty much said the same thing as TY but notice the different "tone" and thoughtful approach, thus intent

U are smart Bossy so i KNOW you see the difference

It's NO big to me though so I should stay out of it; i continue to think Ty is funny and this forum, afterall, is ENTERTAINMENT
