Report: “Favre Can’t Stand Green Bay”

[Bretsky]

all of this love makes me very happy to not to a mod anymore .......

A sincere thank you for your service. I never heard anyone ever say a bad thing about your handling of that job. I suppose that's about as good a compliment is you can get as a moderator.

Too bad the same can't be said of your draft predictions.

Thanks for the kind words; as for my draft picks

When CRABTREE becomes a Hall of Famer

i agree, some people have mentioned that Favre is carrying "baggage".............

I think the media circus alone qualifies as baggage. Though in Minnesota, that might help them sell out a few more games without having to threaten the city with a television blackout.

God help you if you have to bench the guy. Or if you don't call plays that optimize his potential. Or let him audible. Or look at him funny in a team meeting. Then you get to hear about it for 20 minutes on the Sports Reporters. I consider those things baggage too.

This thread is like reading a divorce proceeding. Only more boring and self-referential.

I have been watching football for close to two centuries (way back to the time of Paul "Father of His Country and the T Formation" Revere-Brown). And I seem to remember that football is played by a number of men. Not sure the exact number, but I know its more than one.

My concern with Ted Thompson has as much to do with numbers 2-50 something than it does with the starting QB. Even putting aside the distraction, the delay and the complaining, should he have miscalculated and chosen a quarterback of less skill over a quarterback of more skill, it is still more important that he be right about numbers 2-more like 80 this time of year.

If there is concern about Ted it is that the rest of his team is not as good as his quarterback. Not the other way around. We'll probably get some answers this year. But this is the biggest question, not which Movie Actor or Country Singer Hobknobbing QB is the better passer.

If this team wins this year at a rate greater than last, the reason is not Rodgers v. Favre. Its Capers/new coaches/new talent versus the old defense. Rodgers and his offense, someone previously pointed out, scored more points than any other team in the 4th quarter. The Packer D and its collection of pad level incompetents gave up more points than any other team in the 4th quarter.

To continue this debate is sheer lunacy, by which I mean I fully expect it to continue. But if the Packers win this year, I will toast the new D coordinator, McCarthy and then Thompson in that order. And I won't even think about which QB I would have preferred. Because they are close too close to equal to make a difference.

Yes. The ball was your foe's decapitated head.

i agree, some people have mentioned that Favre is carrying "baggage", but I just don't see it.

I would suggest looking around his midsection and his buttocks. The extra baggage is clearly visible.

And that is why Slingin' Sammy Baugh is the best there ever was. Ever try to get a tight spiral on a head?

me! me! I did!

I wasn't exactly critical of Bretsky's montitoring, though. I don't like the idea of monitors having broad discretion, and disagreed with a philosophy he stated. I think monitors should act according to published guidelines, that keeps people from taking things personally if a monitor takes an action.

"Green Bay fan finally sick of hearing about Favre"

Noel Juarer of Manitowoc, WI was the self-prmoted, 'biggest Favre fan alive or dead." "I'd let him sleep with my wife just to say we have sex with the same woman, " the semi-delusional partial drunk announced. "Even after he retired and was traded to NY, I'd still give up all my worldly possessions just to play a round of golf, share a 6 pack and mow his lawn.", "But now, this shit is just getting ridiculous.".

While I don't really want to see Brett in a vikes uni,I don't blame him one bit. The packers org and dumbshit TT fucked him over BIG TIME. Brett favre made the modern day green Bay packers as popular as they are(were). For TT and the Packers to disrespect him as they have IS unforgivable!!!

[Packerarcher]

The conflicts are simple:

1. Favre is still better than anyone the Vikings have and would make them better. No Packer fan would want the Vikings to be better.

2. Favre was made king of Wisconsin by us. There are people who feel betrayed that he would take that for granted and hurt the team that helped make him a king just to show up his old employer.

I may fit into another category.
I'm just glad he's gone & the team can grow again.
If and when he plays is of little consequence now.

Yup,they sure grew last year with out him didn't they.

You do understand, of course, that for Brett to get even with Thompson that means the Packers will lose football games. So, putting what happened a year ago behind us, would you like to see the Packers lose football games? Would our team losing football games make you happy?

I think Brett could get his revenge by just helping anoter team have a better season than the Pack. I love the Packers,but with or without Brett I really beleive the Vikes will end up with a better record again.
