    Favre and the Hall of Fame: What's Your Reaction?

    This shit is comical lately on the Rats Forums, just like last year. Favre supporters, detractors, etc....those in between.

    Snake's Take:

    Unlike last year, he's off our hands now, and just a player. I for one, was pretty vocal being a Favre supporter last year in the TT/Favre debacle, but have softened much now seeing Favre as being immature/sullen/etc. but still respect what he did AS A PLAYER to give us a winning record most every year.

    Some detract that, that's ok, as Snake is kinda in the middle, as this shit will blow over a year after he retires whenever it is. Time heals all wounds.

    My only question was this. Say 5 years from next year, in 2015 he'll prob. (I'm assuming he plays for Minn. this year in 2009) who will still support him for his Canton incantation as one of the best NFL players of our generation? Grudges then, now? Or was he a great player you can forgive?

    Seems so many are quick to throw him under the bus for his behavior lately, but Snake don't care as he's not OUR property, and don't care about the last year or so. Arod did well, and I like that kid.

    Kinda funny, but I don't mind seeing him play (as Fritz called it car wreck, but still gotta watch). He WAS entertaining last year to watch in NJ till he burned out his arm, and at 40 if he brings it, sobeit. I'll still watch, but the hell if I want the Vikes to beat us one on one or the division.

    I don't like that he's adamant to be a Vike, but the Pack is #1 by far in Snake's book, so bring it old man, as he's gonna go out sorry no matter what, but still like watching him play. There's a reason he's all over ESPN daily, he's entertaining and just good enough at 40 to still play. That is something. I don't think it's so bad to want to watch him play, as I and many do, or that many want him retired. Just this: What about Canton?

    What's your take then, as this Favre shit has taken over PackerRats again just like last year, but Snake is outta this conversation, as I look at him as a former player (but very entertaining and fun to watch no matter what)?

    Support/fuck him/etc. It's fun to see the views as there has to be an end-all topic for this Favre madness, no?

        Hell Yeah!!!! Because he earned it with his hard work, great play and longevity.


        Just because he's in doesn't mean we have to remember him as a good teammate or a good guy though. That won't go away for me.

            This is the kind of stuff that I think is ridiculous.

            Good guy?

            He has raised thousands and thousands of others for charity and put in tons of community service hours. Have you done this? If the answer is No, then you're a worse person than Brett Favre.

            Do you routinely go in to work voluntarily when you don't have to when you won't get paid for putting in the extra time? If the answer is No, once again you're no better of a person than Brett Favre.

            Would you be upset if you quit your job at 38 and your company had an exclusive contract with you, where you could ONLY work for them, and they would make you sit in meetings all day long not doing anything but recording minutes from said meetings, but the company wouldn't let you out of the contract to find work elsewhere? How awful would that be?!? Horrible. If you would be irritated by this, you're no better than Brett Favre.

            If you're going to bash his character, I don't think you can do that over any recent actions. I'd go back in his twenties when he wasn't faithful to his wife, etc.

              You left out the $10M part. It's not quite as horrible with that in there.

                Money is all relative. While that may seem like a lot to you or I, thats a typical years earnings for Brett. I would be so pissed if I was forced to either A) sit at home and not work anywhere, or B) sit in meetings all day long and take notes for my modest salary. That would be awful.

                I'd gladly do it for 10 million, though, since I'm not a millionaire

                  Partial, your analogy doesn't really work. Favre retired, then wanted to come back on his terms, the Packers still had his rights so it was their choice to do whatever they wanted. If you want to compare that to any regular work situation it would be a high up employee quitting, signing a non-compete agreement, and then wanting to come work for the company again. The company has no responsibility to take him back, and since they have the non-compete agreement they also have no responsibility to care what the ex-employee now wants. The company has every right to act in their own self-interests. It was the employee's mistake.

                  For someone who seems to care so much about personal responsibility and dealing with the situation one has gotten themself into, you seem to be awfully forgiving of Favre.

                    If my employer had paid me $100mil over the course of 16 years, I think I would do just about anything they asked me to. I'd be mighty fucking grateful.

                        Partial you also conveniently left out the Packers' retirement gift or merchandising offer or whatever the hell it was called. I can't even remember how much it was for now. *EDIT 20 million*

                          How dare they insult him like that. Off with their heads.

                            I heard a rumor that his induction speech would be given by Greta Van Susteren. That would be fitting.

                              Are you sure she knows the names of the Packers, Jets, and Vikings?
