I liked your thoughts Mr. Woodbuck.

What the hell ever happened to Harlan? Scott, did you two have a rough break up?

I dont care if you love him or hate him, what got out of control was the Pack on Pack crime. People are entitled to their opinions without being shat on.

My love for Harlan knows no bounds. He was active in FYI, and rarely seen anywhere else. Not sure where he is.

He is sad that Obama's approval rating fell below 50%...I am sure he is on a Jack bender right now

I rooted for the bears to beat the colts in the SB.

My hate for Manning almost rivals that of the Bears. I was okay with either team who won that game. The media hype for Manning (he won MVP of that Super Bowl and played terribly) disgusts me so much that I hate to see him win anything.

That was the Super Bowl that I could not root for either team.

What will some Packer fans do if he leads the Vikings to the Super Bowl while defeating the Pack 2X again this season?

Hate him even more. But that goes for Jay Cutler if the Bears win the division beating the Packers twice also. Same for Matthew Stafford and the Lions. If you lead your team to defeat mine TWICE, you have earned my hatred.

That said, I hope he gets humiliated by the Packers twice, misses the playoffs entirely, and runs back to his estate in Mississippi in early January with his tail between his legs and a Green Bay Packer helmet lodged so far up his ass even Dr. Andrews can't get it out. After which the Vikings organization implodes, moves to LA, and finds itself forever engulfed in the specter of mediocrity and shame. Oh, and I hope Brad Childress is their coach forever.

Just saw on sportscenter is looking like he is going to have a tough time with his ankle...

I don't wish injury upon anybody. But I hope he completely ruins his legacy by playing so poorly, that he gets put in the "didn't know when to quit" basket.

After all the drama with this guy, I doubt his legend will be in the same class as Lombardi (who left), Reggie White (who left) even Holmgren.

I hope they change Brett Favre Pass as a street name, too.

I want Favre to go on playing at least as long as Blanda did. Win two more SB's and another MVP but ' Father Time ' isn't his best friend. He may try too hard and sustain serious injury. Many of the wolves in here will relish that as they descend into the pits they fashion for themseves. hahaa. When we should realize we do have choices I constantly am amazed that some choose hatred and for a sports star.

Come on Packer fans. Smarten up. The man loves to play football-compete still. I won't dust his balls for that, but I won't stop following the Legend either.

It has to be frustrating to be a Favre hater. I'm so happy being the man I am ' an NFL fan 'with now two teams I can pull for. Geee what will I do if the Bears ever get on track?

All of this stuff we debate Re: this or that condition concerning Favre did this or didn't do that. Is entirely out of our control. We can control our emotions and keep them positive - healthy. What will some Packer fans do if he leads the Vikings to the Super Bowl while defeating the Pack 2X again this season? If in the process he pass's for more than 4000 yards and 30 TD's? Are you going to go on hating him?

He's one of the most iconic Pro athlete STARS ALL TIME. Favre's ' the most exciting ' football player on the planet all time IMO. Hate 'that' man?

Did Favre sign ** a new contract recently?

I thought I saw this week that Brett Favre signed a standard four year contract with the Vikings. Saw that on their site. Since, I tried to do a follow-up and cannot find the article RE: ** such.

Seriously, step off your fuckin soap box.

Those of us who hate the Vikings and want them to fail have always wanted them to fail. It's not like we used to wish them the best but then started to dislike them as soon as Favre went there.

I'd say that's a lot more normal and consistent then only starting to like the Vikings once Favre went there. It must be frustrating to be so easily swayed by one man.

My goodness, two in a row. I too have always hated the queens, pandas and loins. As long as Farp wears purple I have no use for him cuz his team stands in the way of MY team's road to the Super Bowl.

[Pugger]

I don't think he hates Favre. They'll likely never be friends, but I think there's some respect there. Rodgers cheering for the Saints might have had a lot to do with the fact that Rodgers and Brees are good friends. Besides, maybe like a lot of Packer fans, he just doesn't want to see the Vikings win. But that's not as good a story as saying he hates Favre.

I doubt Rodgers hates Favre either. Now, if we turn the question around...!!!

Here is a Rodgers story I had never heard before

http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=simmons/100902

4. Aaron Rodgers, Packers
2010's most savvy bet: Rodgers to win the MVP as a semi-long shot at 12-to-1 odds. Last season, he threw for 4,434 yards, 30 touchdowns and just seven picks, then nearly pulled off a historic comeback in that unforgettable Packers-Cards wild-card game (finishing with 423 passing yards, four TDs). And Green Bay's offense has "The Look" in the preseason: Everything is pointing toward a 2009 Saints-type breakout year. On a personal note, my affection for Rodgers increased exponentially at ESPN's Sundance party during the conference championships, when Rodgers and his buddies unabashedly rooted against former nemesis Favre and the Vikings down the stretch and celebrated raucously when New Orleans pulled it out. Rodgers couldn't have been more delighted; he did everything but climb on the bar and start a "F--- YOU, FAVRE!" chant. I will always root for him after that. And yes, that story is 100 percent true.

Love Rodgers

Come on Man.

Is that really a good thing? I think not. That's questionable behaviour in terms of it's one of those in your face things that often backfire in sports rivalrys.

Or this:

Isn't that a little more oil on the fire Favre and the Vikings need? That's the sort of thing that generally fires up any rival in the world of sports and adds incentive to beat that opponent. Not smart ...bad karma for us on behalf of Aaron Rodgers. A waste of energy. Over negative.

It's better to wait. Be patient and put it all out there on the field. Win games on the field by demonstrating superiority and keep the emotions out of it.

GO PACK GO!

[woodbuck27]

Also I cheer this way: I want Favre to play well and the same goes for Aaron Rodgers.

Let the BEST team win !

I want Favre to play poorly and for the Vikings to lose horribly, just as I have always wanted for those miserable Vikings. I have never wanted, nor will I ever want a Viking QB to play well. As to the 'Let the Best team win' - if the 'Best team' happens to be the Vikings, I still hope they find a way to lose, because I like the Packers and hate the Vikings ('Hate' for you pansies means in an athletic competition sense, not REAL hate).

If this POV causes you to flee Packerrats, don't let the browser hit you in the ass on the way out!

LOL. It's just this sort of post from a man I consider otherwise of intelligence, mraynrand, that keeps me a proud member of this forum. I simply stand by my beliefs and do so consistently.

By the way mraynrand. I'm far and away removed, from any real sense, of a pansy label. Anyone who really knows me 'in the real world' would ever suggest such nonsense. I have too much strength man.

The same goes for the likes of Rastak, Bretzky and GrnBay007. All decent people. I want all three to return to this forum. They are solid people as I came to know and understand them. Big loss's to PackerRats.

GO PACKERS ! Get it done this season.

Yes. Yes it is a good thing. He's one of us now.

I rooted for the bears to beat the colts in the SB.

My hate for Manning almost rivals that of the Bears. I was okay with either team who won that game. The media hype for Manning (he won MVP of that Super Bowl and played terribly) disgusts me so much that I hate to see him win anything.

I couldn't agree more. That was a painful Super Bowl to watch and the media hype of Manning makes me want to puke. When we put up 58 on them a week ago it couldn't have been but a day later that analysts were saying that the re-position of the Umpire cost the Colts the game and is a stupid idea - all leading with Peyton giving the ref an ear full. If ANY player in the NFL put the Umpire in jeopardy, it's Manning. The Colts run more plays that use the Umpire as a pick than any other team. If Manning is such a GREAT QB, it doesn't matter where the Umpire lines up, you adjust, instead he wines like a baby. Also, the bullshit "rules" that come out because Manning doesn't like something and makes a stink. Nothing is EVER that guys fault and the media is very quick to sweep every time he threw his team under the bus, under the rug.

I'll give him this, the commercials he does are usually pretty funny, the sad part is even then you can see this guys ego. Out of all of the QB's in the league, his jersey is one that I seldom ever see anyone wear anywhere but at a Colts game, I wonder why?

I believe its still the same two year deal framework (09 through 10), but he was given additional money for this year. Some of the amount and much of the incentives would be paid out in 2011, after this season. But I believe the contract runs only through 2010.
