OFFICIAL BRETT THE LIVING LEGEND THREAD

[Little Whiskey]

Joint had killer brats, delicious fried fish, ridiculously cheap beer, and of course, great ambiance.

you've narrowed that down to just about every corner bar in wisconsin!

what the hell are the words to the song?

This thread was created to contain the flame war in one spot instead of having it spam every thread on the forum, but nice try.

Not exactly, thread was created for what wood claims and was later turned into your new creation......some folks just can't help themselves...

[woodbuck27]

No Spark.

There are two songs.

1. Don't Mention My Name In Sheboygan

2. Mention My Name In Sheboygan (sung by the Everly's)

I'm talkin' about Don't Mention My Name In Sheboygan. It's an old (20's or so) vaudeville hit that was the number 1 song in the country. This is before record's were widely sold. we used to hit an old derlict bar in sheboygan after fishing on L Michigan. We'd buy the locals beer and get 'em to sing and dance to that song. they all knew the words by heart. I can still see that one old guy dancing and singing a toothless shuffle to that tune.

Well MJZiggy. Good mornin'.

'Of course' you.... having your finger on the pulse of Packerrats and into it all. Sat with the originator of this thread and conceived it just as it turned out.

The wonderful tribute to arguably the GREATEST Green Bay Packer that ever wore the Green and Gold.

Nice job MJ. THANKS for your solid contribution to that end. Your dedication to things positive and 'cheery Lady like ways and manners' are an inspiration to us all.

Have a staggeringly great day MJ.

If a subject is interesting it finds a way to stay current. This thread is a topic that is constantly brought up and to minimize the damage we try to keep it in one place.

sound judgement. f bf!

[easy cheesy]

Brett Favre can go jump in the lake.... there... I said it.... ***whew*** (Now, what lake is up for debate..HERE WE GOOOOOOOOO!)

[easy cheesy]

Doesn't Minnesota have a lot of lakes? Probably a lot of room for a lot of bodies out there. Us left coasters just utilize the Pacific.... no one is ever heard from again... kind of a "permanent retirement" if you will....

[woodbuck27]

Not exactly, thread was created for what wood claims and was later turned into your new creation......some folks just can't help themselves...

and therein 'lies the rub'. How we differ in how we frame things.

How this naturally created cells of members on certain sides and opposing those that would dare stand for anything different but at their own peril. Those that stand for but 'one thing'. Their agenda.

I certainly do NOT believe that MOBB DEEP ever imagined his thread would become the starship thread (mmmm is that a good anology ....ohh who cares this is the Favre thread at Packerrats. A thread that brings out all the best and worst in us as members of Packerrats.

a) The Favre die hard supporter members or 'judged' the Favre LOVERS.

b) The Favre 'he's retired' and so should be this thread members.

c) The Favre Love/Haters.

d) The extreme Favre HATE members or so labeled by the other extreme side.

e) The indifferent ..those who have no opinion on Brett Favre other than he's simply gone so let him claim his NFL Legacy members.

A popular thread that many of us hope will never be archived.



"By defending against wrong.... by acknowliging WRONG, I contribute to WRONG." woodbuck27

I desire to change that.

The Everly Brothers - Mention My Name In Sheboygan


Mention my name in Sheboygan
It's the greatest little town in the world
Just tell them you're an old friend of mine
And every door in town will have a big welcome sign
So mention my name in Sheboygan
And if you ever get in a jam
Just mention name, I said mention my name
But please don't them where I am

Mention my name in Paducha
It's the greatest little town in the world
I know a gal there you'll simply adore
She was Miss Patoka back in 1904
So mention my name in Paducha
And if you ever get in a mess
Just mention my name, I said mention my name
But please don't give them my address

Mention my name in Tacoma
It's the greatest little town in the world
I know the big shots in the City Hall
They even got my picture on the post office wall
So mention my name in Tacoma
And if you ever get in a spat
Just mention my name, I said mention my name
But please don't tell them where I'm at
Please don't tell them where I'm at!

There is one verse missing above or the third verse. That verse is about Elmira. The song lyrics are then:

MENTION MY NAME IN SHEBOYGAN

(Bob Hilliard, Dick Sanford, and Sammy Mysels)

Mention my name in Sheboygan,
It's the greatest little town in the world.
Just tell them all you're an old friend of mine,
And every door in town will have a big welcome sign.
So mention my name in Sheboygan,
And if you ever get in a jam,
Just mention my name, I said mention my name
But please don't tell 'em where I am.

Mention my name in Paducah,
It's the greatest little town in the world.
I know a gal there you'll simply adore,
She was "Miss Paducah" back in nineteen-o-four.
So mention my name in Paducah,
And if you ever get in a mess,
Just mention my name, I said mention my name
But please don't give them my address.

Mention my name in Elmira,
It's the greatest little town in the world.
I told the Mayor that he would go far,
I even gave the sheriff an exploding cigar.
So mention my name in Elmira,
And if they ever try to put you in jail,
Just mention my name, I said mention my name
But please don't write to me for bail.

Mention my name in Tacoma,
It's the greatest little town in the world.
I know the big shots in their City Hall,
They're even got my picture on the post office wall.
So mention my name in Tacoma,
And if you ever get in a spat,
Just mention my name, I said mention my name
But please don't tell 'em where I'm at.

Have a great weekend !

GO PACKERS !

[Tony Oday]

Favre only won one Super Bowl...Trent Dilfer can say that!

[Deputy Nutz]

I find it entertaining to listen to Packer fan complain about Favre only winning "ONE" Super Bowl. Greedy Fucks.

[woodbuck27]

Favre only won one Super Bowl...Trent Dilfer can say that!

and ... your point would be? How many NFL players would cherish that one Super Bowl ring?

That doesn't impress you, I'm guessing.

It's good that you didn't have the names Favre and Dilfer in one sentence in the context that you raise.

and that raises this:

How many total yards did Trent Dilfer pass for? Take Favre's record for total yards and subtract the difference. Impressed!?

Do the same with total receptions;total TD's, total wins; 4th quarter comebacks....

on and on and on it goes ...you get the message. (-:

Impressed or 'in denial'?

[ThunderDan]

Well to be fair let's look at some numbers that the benchwarms put up when off the Packers.

Mark Brunnell 2,761/4,640 32,072 yards 184 TDs 108 INTs 84.0 Rating 15 Rushing TDs 19 seasons
Aaron Brooks 1,673/2,963 20,261 yards 123 TDs 92 INTs 78.5 Rating 13 Rushing TDs 8 seasons
Matt Hasselbeck 2,891/4,797 33,150 yards 194 TDs 142 INTs 82.2 Rating 8 Rudhing TDs 13 seasons

Brett Favre 6,300/10,169 71,838 yards 508 TDs 336 INTs 86.0 Rating 14 Rushing TDs 20 Seasons

Aaron Rodgers 1,381/2,113 17,366 yards 132 TDS 38 INTs 104.1 Rating 16 Rushing TDs 7 seasons

Looking at the numbers the 2 things that jump out are:
1. ARod's 3.47 TDs to INT ratio. No one in the group is even close
2. BF's games played, yardage, TDs and INTs.

[Upnorth]

Mark Brunnell had 15 rushing touchdowns??? I never would have guessed that. Favre sure had some world class backups.

I think Arod mught have a decent list of backups in the making as well, starting with Flynn.

Hi ThunderDan:

I looked at Aaron Rodgers passing numbers and **averaged them over the past four seasons. Considering he has a long career to age 40 or 11 more seasons.

How do Aaron Rodgers numbers add up? If ** the average of those numbers is extended throughout his career (or 15 years)?

a) Passing attempts = 7695

b) Completions = 5055

c) total yards = 63,735

d) TD's = 495 ( Amazing !)

e) Picks = 135

I realize that's optimistic thinking but those numers are extraordinary.

Have a great weekend Man.

GO PACKERS !
