OFFICIAL BRETT THE LIVING LEGEND THREAD

[Guiness]

Vince Lombardi anyone?

How is Lombardi polarizing?

How is Lombardi polarizing?

He retired from the Packers and then went and coached another team.

[Freak Out]

Favre really needs a good shrink.....the guy is dealing with some serious issues. His time has come and gone but it's hard to let go.....

[Guiness]

i'd like to add that even though bert seems to think it took arod 3 years to win with the same team he ended with, he's dead wrong

a-rods first starting season was the rookie year for jordy. fin, and sitton

2009 brought raji, CM3, lang, wynn, brad jones

2010 brought bulaga, neal, burnett, quarless, newhouse, starks, cj wilson, sam shields ans zombo

man, that a lot of talent that somehow figured out how to win WITHOUT bent fart

so in short, not at all the same teams favre left and a-ron won a super bowl with. those young guys had to have some growing pains

The 2010 team is quite different from the '07 team, I don't think it occured to me just how much so. I should have realized it, the way TT's draft picks all seem to make the roster every year.

My count shows 29 players remain from the 07 team, and that count includes Justin Harrell and M. Montgomery.

He needs to get a job. Problem is, I'm not sure if Deanna will let him out of the house for very long.

I'm coming clean; I was one of the last guys here to fight for Favre and I'm still around to admit that. I made comments and defended Favre against TT, MM, the Packers Brass...and even Jenn Sterger (sorry...still think she flirted with the idea of him too Ziggy)

But this....

Insted of giving AROD credit for what he did accomplish he bittterly dwells on what he didn't accomplish (or he accomplished too late)
When we know Favre was a terrible teammate to AROD he implies AROD could have learned a lot from him....watching him
And by turning on AROD, he once again turns on anybody who is a Packer Fan

In reality, the win AROD let us to in the Super Bowl was more clutch and a better performance than any playoff game I recall Brett Favre giving up.
He clutched up. Had AROD been leading us in our SB loss against Denver, he makes that off balance throw to a wide fricking open Freeman on 3rd down to a wide open Freeman and instead of giving the ball back to Denver to drive down and beat us we win that game. AROD had been clutch; Favre was a guy who played forever, who ultimately choked most of the time when we needed him the most.

THis is a sad pathetic betrayal to the Green Bay Packer Squad and Nation.
I'll only say it once. Fuck You Favre

time for a name change...arodsky maybe?

[Joemailman]

I think Favre's comments were less about Rodgers and more about himself. Favre doesn't go around dissing other players, but he does promote himself (In case you haven't noticed!) I think Favre was trying to convey the idea that he could have won a title with the players Arod had. It was stupid of him to do it, but that's what he's become. I wish he hadn't done it, but I don't hate him for it. Just not my nature, I guess.

How does Favre's dick taste?

Probably not as chocolaty as Newton's.

[Fritz]

Greg Jennings gets in a shot: "We didn’t go all the way with Brett, but we did with Aaron. I think that kind of speaks for itself.”

[Brandon494]

Probably not as chocolaty as Newton's.

Or as big

Brett is an insecure person, totally agree. When the entire state of Wisconsin, Media, and millions of other people around the country crank you off as the next coming of Jesus Christ for so many years, you're going to have a different ego than others. the "good country boy" that so many played off for him was great for him, it took away many of his flaws. if any of you lived or grew up in the fox valley area in the 90's, most probably heard about Favre's antics with women and his drinking...but we all just kind of ignored it cause our team was playing better than it had in years. I mean my grandma still defends the man for cheating on his wife....but if I ever cheated on my wife, my grandmother would skin me alive. It was just simply a different mind set with him, and after a while people start to believe their own headlines. I mean did Brett Favre really think Brett Favre would ever be traded from Green Bay? I think it hurts him a little more than Rodgers made people forget about him so quickly, and I think he is a bit hurt even more that this team was able to win without him, especially a super bowl.

This is all gold. And I don't just mean the knocks on Brett, I mean the whole of Packerdom's complicity. Though I would add one item to the list of characteristics.

Brett wanted to be remembered another way. In 2000 or 2001, he gave Peter King an interview that claimed if the Packers ever felt he was done, he would retire rather than face being released or traded. Even at the time, this seemed like grandiose statement, one he would have trouble backing up.

When push came to shove, as Brandt has written, neither Favre nor Thompson were able to have a conversation that they needed to have. How to end it, peaceably. Each hoped the other would be cowed by the negative reaction to do what the other wanted. Instead it simply got ugly.

[sheepshead]

Did Brett cheat on his wife or girlfriend? Was he married at that time? Just asking. I didnt hear the interview, just read it until this morning(my brother said I should hear his tone) I still dont think its that bad of a knock on Rodgers. If anything, its a knock on McCarthy. Who I was very critical of in those years also. I thought he got way out coached in Arizona for instance. Brett sort of ties it back to Rodgers at the end a bit. I'm still not convinced he was ripping Aaron a new one necessarily.
