OFFICIAL BRETT THE LIVING LEGEND THREAD

[Bretsky]

Sigh. So do ya think Brent is gonna make a comeback?

unions suck

[mraynrand]

Sorry MJ....but it is you who kept with the party line of "show us your plan" and then disappeared when we all posted links to Paul Ryans plan. Face it, the party you back is disgusting and incapable of an honest discussion. The disinfectant of sunlight makes them wilt like the wicked witch of the west in water. We lay out our arguments very clearly over there, we simply have no use for the leftist point of "I know you are but what am I" or the continual use of a many times disproven point.

Take it to FYI!

Dude, I dropped that two weeks ago so this could get back to being the Favre mocking thread it's so good at.

This!

Time heals some wounds, but when Favre shows no remorse or sorrow over anything then it will be difficult for many to forgive him.

I agree. It's always best to heal from within by taking 'the HIGHER' road.

I wonder though if it's not more of an issue with Packer and NFL fans in general as Favre seemed to indicate fr. his point of view at seasons end 'with the Jets' in an interview that it was nhis feeling that there were no bad feelings between himself and Packer management (TedThompson) and the teams coaching staff. That by that time he felt that both sides had moved on.

Too bad that many fans still choose to hold him to some ransome. Those fans are the clear losers regarding 'the Favre issues' IMO. Especially given that the whole or TRUTH to this point in time hasn't surfaced.

Life demands us to be more understanding and tolerant especially of those things that we cannot control. That's an individual choice and IMO, clearly the best choice.

GO PACKERS!

[Scott Campbell]

Ted Thompson is a world champion.
Mike McCarthy is a world champion.
Aaron Rodgers is a world champion.
The Packers are world champions.

And ole Bert is a creepy pervert.

It's a storybook ending. I told you so Woody.

I cannot control Johnny Jolly's choice to use/sell codeine. Should I be more tolerant of that? Maybe the judge should renew his license and say "Have a nice day" instead of popping him in the slammer for up to 20 years. Except that the judge can control Jolly, so s/he can be less tolerant, right?

Woody, do you really think that ol' Brent could come back and "light it up"? Man, I wish you were the GM of an NFL franchise, so we could find out and so Ted could hose you outta some picks!

Brett Favre is retired last time I understood his status. End of that.

That respose ....... deserves this ........

That respose ....... deserves this ........

Not only does it deserve that....

Brett Favre was a World Champion before Rodgers could even DREAM of winning a State Championship in HS. I guess the point is that the argument that Rodgers, the packers organization, etc. are world champions while Favre is a creepy pervert is more relevant today, but did we Forget Favre won a title as well? Until Rodgers wins a 2nd many will still have a hard time putting Rodgers over him all time. I mean, Peyton Manning only won one ring so far and may never get another, which means all time favre could stay ahead of him as well. Just keep things in perspective, it's not like the current packers, with Brett being 40/41, really have THAT much bragging rights over him right now.

Not even favre back in 2007 would of thought he'd have been playing in 2010.

Different discussion....

This is my expectation, the Packers will kiss Favre's butt in 2011 and make up with him, Favre will proclaim that he was never 'anti-Packers' and by 2012 that his number will be retired and he'll have a statue of himself erected (no pun intended) at Lambeau in a huge ceremony.

Your thoughts.... Is the timing off? Would this look like another upstaging of A-Rod?

Hard to upstage a guy who just got SB recently. I do think the packers and favre situation gets rectified sooner than people anticipate, definitely before he gets into Canton in 5 years. In a business such as the NFL, such things aren't as hard to pull off as fan forgiveness, and I think the barebones facts are, despite all the off field stuff, Favre does still have a lot of fans, at heart, in Wisconsin. He's lost a lot of support, sure, but he still has fans, and he was still, just last season, one of the most popular players in the NFL (I believe he, once again, boasted the top jersey sold. That despite the bad season).

A statue being erected may be going a tad far, but Jersey retired, etc is going to happen.

Little too soon. I don't think the Packers care much about Favre's butt right now and it will take a few years to tone down the rancor that many fans still hold. If he tell the fans now that he was never anti-Packers, they will not believe him.

[mraynrand]

Favre deliberately tried to stick it to the Green Bay Packers
then he deliberately tried to stick it to Jenn Sterger
Many fans will get over it, but it will take time

I'd hazard to guess that most Packer fans younger than their mid-twenties saw Favre as a malicious, talented but flawed QB who threw horrible picks at critical times, and can't remember the Superbowl appearances at all.

I hope for his sake that it won't be anatomically correct.
