I wish I had a dime for every time Favre mentioned "I, me, my" during an interview.

PB, you are absolutely right.
The Packers didn't want Favre, and Favre didn't want the Packers anymore and neither of them could make it work because even at this level people's feelings got hurt. Favre knew he could still play and he proved that in 2009 as a 40 year old Pro Bowl QB. It was a very bitter split with a lot of emotion and venom. The Packers and I believe Favre have both moved on. Brett Favre is still enemy number one for Packer Nation and he will get shredded regardless what he say about the Packers or Prince Aaron.
If Packer fan thinks Favre can't move on, then where is Packer fan with it all? Read the last few pages and you would think that Favre was trash bag QB for the Packers. Everyone involved in with Favregate needs to move on and let it go. The Packers won their Super Bowl, Rodgers is an amazing QB all is right with Packerland, but you all can't get over Brett Favre.
I would still rather hang out with Favre than Aaron Rodgers and his indy music loving ass.Comment

I think the Packers of 2011 are looking for some kind of motivation coming off the Super Bowl win last year. It is all great to win but sometimes a spark is missing, I wonder if the Packer players are looking for an edge, or a rally cry.
Besides how many guys in the locker room actually read the papers? Not many so I am sure a reporter picks and chooses the Favre quotes and throws them at the players looking for a quote.Comment

That his claim has gone unchallenged surprised me too. When Brett said this, everyone thought he was nuts. Though McGinn did call this year.Originally posted by red View Post
No one knew who Ryan Grant was when Favre made his "most talented team" comment. In fact, while I am not sure of the dates, Grant was such a late preseason addition, Brett was likely complimenting Brandon Jackson as his starting RB. And this team had Junius Coston, Tony Moll and Aaron Rouse get starts.Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.Comment

Dammit. We should have ended it on Bretsky's post and locked the thread. We just never know when to stop, do we?

Did you hear the interview and detect bitterness in his voice? Favre is an awkward quote machine. It was likely just a gaffe.Originally posted by Bretsky View PostComment

Perhaps then Mr. Favre should explain why he did not win the Super Bowl with the Vikings, because that team too was better than any team he played on in Green Bay, including the Super Bowl teams and the team he last played on in 2007
From 2009:
If Rodgers should have won it earlier, shouldn't Favre have won in 2009?"Physically, and from a talent level, this is the best team I've ever been on." That's what Brett Favre said a few weeks ago about his Minnesota Vikings..
So Rodgers fell into it, and to believe Favre, it wasn't that big of an accomplishment. Yet, it (winning a Super Bowl) was something he didn't feel up to even with that supposedly loaded roster returning for 2008. By his own words, it was too much pressure for him. From his retirement interview:
So trying to win a Super Bowl in 2008 or 2009 was too tough for him, too much of a challenge for him with all his experience, but something that Rodgers should have stepped in and accomplished as a first or second year starter?"I know it shouldn't feel unsuccessful, but the only way to come back and make that be the right decision would be to come back and win a Super Bowl. And honestly, the odds of that, they're tough. Those are big shoes for me to fill, and I guess it was a challenge I wasn't up for. "
Truth be told, Favre saying that his current team was the best he had ever been on was virtually an annual event for many years in Green Bay. Favre also routinely talked about how difficult winning was in the NFL and that winning the Super Bowl was an extremely difficult task. For him to now degrade the 2010 team's accomplishment in anyway is simply the babblings of a bitter old fool, in my opinion.Comment

I disagree. BF could do a lot of things to improve his image. Like answering the question this way, It was fun watching the Packers on the Super Bowl run last year. They really had a special group of players on that team. I spent 1X years playing my heart out for GB. No matter how my career ended spending that much time with a quality organization leaves a lasting mark. I will always follow the Packers in the media.Originally posted by Deputy Nutz View Post
But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

Yup. Favre could actually compliment Rodgers and the Packers organization and a lot of us would begin to dislike him less.Originally posted by ThunderDan View PostComment
