Report: “Favre Can’t Stand Green Bay”

[PlantPage55]

So you guys sat every Sunday from 1992 - 2007 and said to yourselves, put so-and-so in? This guys sucks. You hated every minute? I am having a difficult time believing someone can be a Packer (hell, a football fan)fan and not admire what he has accomplished on the field and in his personal life.

And this is why it is so infuriating to argue with the Brett-humpers...

I liked Favre when he was here, but man was he a frustrating QB to have.

I'm starting to wonder if you guys don't have actual filters in your brain that reject things you don't like.

They are guys, aren't they?

OMG Sheeps. Why do you have to be a supporter or a detractor on a player by player basis? I was a Favre fan while he was a Packer. It is not 1992-2007 anymore Sheeps. I support the team, and I am a fan of the players who play for that team. So between 1992-2007, I was the one of the biggest Favre fans there was. Ask around, people that knew me from JSO can attest to that. Hell, you were there too.

But this is a Packer forum. I am a PACKER fan. Favre made himself an enemy to many Packer fans by saying he'd like nothing more than to put 2 tallies per season on the Packers loss column just to settle a personal score with our General Manager. FFS I'd assume he's every bit as capable of letting this one go as you'd expect us to be.

Sure, I admire what Favre did - he was a damn good quarterback. That doesn't mean I have to be a fan of his. I respect what Tom Brady has done, but I'm not a Tom Brady fan. Why is that so hard to comprehend?

Not sure what you are getting at here...

Ras, I agree with both points bt it leads me to two questions.

1. If they'd said that, how do we know he wouldn't have pulled the same stunts as he was the "big man on campus?"

2. How do we know they didn't do that and he made a circus of it anyway. The team really didn't say a whole lot during that mess which is exactly what pissed some people off to begin with. You know how fans love the play-by-play.

Well, 1 can lead to a circus so I agree it's very possible. Unless Favre was lying, he said when he called McCarthy he said "Brett, geez, you putting us in a difficult position. Geez, we moved forward. Aw, this isn't good Brett"

I think that whole attitude is what set him off on his quest. Hell, McCarthy said he needed to sit down with favre and be 100% sure he wanted to come back. Why?

Dude, show up for camp, win the job or you'll be a backup or cut. No need for the acrimony. It should have been a short conversation. Ok, see ya in August.

MM & TT's approach was the way to go. If BF was brought back, it would have been a zoo in GB all year. The results weren't the best with that 6-10 deal, but that was the way they had to go.

One way or the other, it was the only way to accomplish the transition.

If you put my whole post together, you'll see that it wasn't directed at you. It was directed at sheepshead, who wrote that he thinks we all hated Brett Favre while he played for us, despite YOU saying the exact opposite.

[sheepshead]

I dont know, not a Favre fan means not a Favre fan. You could be upset with his behavior of late (which I put squarely on Bus Cooks shoulders). But that's not what the guy said. Maybe he meant something else-but its not what he said. So, why should we read anything the gay says if he cant add a bit of clarity.

The jets were bad two seaons ago but three seasons ago, they were 10-6. Two years ago Pennington had injuries and the jets played terribly. This year, Chad beat Brett and the Jets and got the last laugh. I was a Brett detractor before it was popular to be and lots that I posted than, is finally being shown so all can see now.

He works for Brett Favre.

Not all of the Favre detractors bash him for his play. This Favre detractor bashes him for things that hadn't occurred yet when you became a detractor. There's a difference. My dislike for Favre now has nothing to do with anything he did or didn't do on a football field.

But, way to step up and gloat about it. I hope you don't expect a prize or anything.

It will be very sad to see Brett play another year. He was terrible at the end of the season last year. He is ruining his legacy and making a fool out of himself.

He threw for 6 TDs in a game last season, dont really think he is making a fool of himself. Also wasn't his arm hurt during the end of the season when he started to struggled?

Even in his 8-3 start Brett had 20 TD and 13 Ints. Remove his 6-1 game and it's 14 TDs to 12 Ints that isn't spectacular and he was getting MVP talk.

I loved Brett as a Packer. I pray he stays retired. It would be afwully humiliating coming back to the Vikings to stick it to the Packers and losing to us twice.

And this is why it is so infuriating to argue with the Brett-humpers....

I'm sure that calling them 'Brett-humpers' effectively breaks the ice and makes them want to carefully listen to your informed perspective.

Much of what Bulldog considered Brett's drop in play has been borne out recently. And he took a lot of heat for calling it early. You might disagree, but he has earned his stripes already. He wasn't looking for praise.

[PlantPage55]

want to carefully listen to your informed perspective.

That's hilarious. I have no delusions that they actually would either way.

We're talking about people that continue to disregard straight facts about Brett's poor performance late in the season and, worse yet, in the playoffs, year after year. People that believe that Favre is owed something TODAY outside of post-career accolades. Or that he is still "great" to this day, just because he will one day be inducted into the hall of fame for a doubtlessly great career. I hold no hope that anything will reach them.
