OFFICIAL BRETT THE LIVING LEGEND THREAD

[Pugger]

Just thought of that... I rooted for them too. And wanted Brett to play well.

The whole stick-it-to-Ted thing is what put it over the top for me.

I only rooted for the Jets because of the draft pick we'd get. But I sure as hell didn't want them to win a freaking Super Bowl with #4 under center!

[Pugger]

Tank. Jaysus.

THANKSTED!

I think Ted helped Tank go into permanent hibernation.

Unfortunately you can still find this little creep over on the Bubbler.

Taking a stab at his reaction, I'm guessing that he is saying that Ted Thompson kept us from winning several more Super Bowls with Favre, and that this one was mere luck, a 1 in 32 lucky bank shot.

He was also known as the "Anti-Polar Bear" before he drifted away, or was booted, or whatever it was.

But I think he was tight with Torrance Marshall's girlfriend.

he was a shut down corner too

No one could shut down Darrin Charles like APB.

Too funny - Minnesota Chubby:

Brett Favre gets his very own Mardi Gras float

Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on March 7, 2011, 4:15 PM EST
One year after Brett Favre threw one of his most memorable interceptions in New Orleans, No. 4 was back in the city over the weekend for Mardi Gras.
Or at least a gigantic parade float in his image was on the streets there.
We present, courtesy of the folks at Deadspin, the Brett Favre float from this year’s Krewe D’Etat parade. The float was entitled Pocket Pool, and it gave Favre a new nickname: Minnesota Chubby. Well done. (Video of the float at 2:45 left here.)
For all you college football fans out there, the Les Miles Clock Management float looked pretty sweet too.

[Fritz]

Minnesota Chubby - pocket pool. Clever. But Scott, you can also post about Packer football - kinda miss your irreverence on topics other than this.

One wonders when the time will be right to have Brett come back to Lambeau and feel the love as they retire his jersey. Instead of time healing wounds we've had time wounding the heel for so long that there is a new dynamic working.

New York Giants fans booed the hell out of Tiki Barber when they put his name up on the "Ring of Honor" at their stadium, and all he did was say a few stupid thing in his last year.

How long before Lambeau fans mellow out enough to greet Brett without more than a third booing loudly? I think it may require ten years for us, and that would be too long for Brett's ego to bear.

I seriously doubt that the retirement of Brett's jersey will happen in a traditional ceremony within the next decade. If it does, there will be a lot of booing.

If he ever apologizes for dinking the team and Aaron Rodgers' job around, everyone cheers tomorrow. If he can't do that, he'll be booed loudly even if it's 20 years down the road.

Is that really what we're upset about in GB? Are we truly mad at Brett because he couldn't make up his mind on retiring or not? Are we really still even clinging on to that as a reason to dislike the guy?

Sure, some will claim foul play with how he and left and that is fine - the reason for rampant hatred of him is because he played for Minnesota above all else. You think he is going to ever admit that was a mistake? Should eh admit it? He had the best statistical season of his entire career playing for them.

I never get mad at players being selfish and making selfish decisions because that is the nature of the game, and that is the nature of humans. Yes, it's well known I respect Favre the player and I do not condone his off the field actions, but he played for and almost took our enemies to the SB. Without saying publicly that was a mistake, us fans will always boo him - even 10 years later, even if in that 10 years he apologizes for the will he wont he stuff.

I never expect him to admit that was mistake, because 2009 was one of his best seasons ever. He shouldn't feel bad about it. It just went to show you that once your off that field on sunday - the players aren't as big into rivalries as the fans. We may hate minn, does that mean if we cut Driver he would hate minn if they persued him? Hardly - this is a business, players don't get too wrapped up in that stuff once you get off the field.

[Scott Campbell]

Hardly - this is a business, players don't get too wrapped up in that stuff once you get off the field.

That's great. Then nobody should care if we choose to keep giving him the business.


There are enough of us out there to ensure that the traitor will never feel welcome in Lambeau. That will be his legacy.

[Freak Out]

It's going to be a long time..........

[swede]

It's going to be a long time..........

Yeah, I think so too.

I have a sense for how WE feel; it's a nation divided with feelings running 2 to 1 against Bert. This situation is Mark Murphy's headache. Thinking it through a bit further, Murph may need to connect the Ring of Honor/retire the jersey bit with Favre's induction into the Hall of Fame. Show Viking/Favre lowlights on the Jumbo-tron. Show Jets/Favre lowlights on the Jumbo-tron. Fill the stadium with images of Favre victories and all of the good times in Green Bay. Mike the crowd and run the "Booos!" through a digital processor that plays back "Yaaaaay!" through the sound system. Shake his hand, hand him a sandwich, show him the door.

put on gloves.......Shake his hand, hand him a sandwich, show him the door.
