Favre: the man, the legend. Are we having fun yet?

[Cornholio]

Ted Thompson did nothing wrong? Come on now, don't fool yourself. Thompson wanted his man that he drafted to be the starting QB and the minute that Favre said he was "retired" there wasn't a snowballs chance in hell of Thompson letting him comeback. What Thompson and the organization as a whole did wrong in this situation is trying to tell Favre that while they didn't want him playing in Green Bay anymore, they didn't want him playing anywhere else either. That's just a ridiculously absurd thing to try to do. Saying Favre is sticking it to the organization that made him is just ridiculous as well. Let's look at where the Packers were before Favre came. Favre not only revived this organization, it's because of his star power and broad appeal that the Packers have routinely been in the top 5 revenue producing teams in the NFL. It's also the reason why they got to be on Monday Night Football 3 times a year. Without Favre, Reggie White would have never come to Green Bay. Favre's tenure brought the best winning % in the NFL over his 16 season here, for fans to turn on the man just because he wants to continue playing is just plain stupid.

If people actually believe that pro athletes play for the fans then they need their head checked out. If Favre wants to continue to play, whether it be for the ViQueens or for anybody else nobody has the right to tell the man that he can't do so. So what if in the eyes of many fans that he's ruining his legacy? It's his legacy to tarnish if he so chooses to do so. Green Bay has their man at QB and many of the fans who continue to drink Ted Thompson's Kool-Aid believe that this years team is going to be better than last years. If Packer fans truly believe that Rodgers is better suited to lead the Packers than Favre then why so much fuss over him playing for another team?

This has nothing to do with Rodgers. No GM in their right mind would trade a player to improve a team within his own division. That is career suicide. You never EVER make a bigger obstacle for yourself in trying to get to the SB. Ted Thompson did his job properly and traded Favre to the AFC.

And your other post about TT wanting Rodgers to be his man and push Favre out has no evidence. Rodgers was drafted becuase Favre was starting to waver about p,aying. Favre's indecision coupled with Rodgers falling into their lap made the pick happen. Inother words, your theory is complete bullshit.

Thats your opinion and I'll respect it but I truely don't think we'll ever hear the whole story with everything. I really think there is more to it and unless Favre someday writes a book, or feels slighted even more by the Packers, we won't ever know what truely happened since TT was named GM of the Packers... just my two cents

(oh and don't say I don't have any evidence.. I realize that, I just have my feelings on the matter.)

TT wanting Rodgers to be his man and push Favre out has no evidence.

And yet that is pretty much what happened

. In other words, your theory is complete bullshit.

Grow up or leave.

Thompson is a terrible GM, if you want to defend a man who has presided over the worst span of Packer football in 20 years while running the man who took Green Bay back to national prominence out of town then by all means do so, you will look quite foolish doing so, to me anyway. What about Thompson's Kool-Aid is so tasty that fans like you can't resist it? Is it his remarkable 31-33 record since taking over as GM? Was it his bumbling of the situation with Favre that made you a believer? Was it last years 7 game backslide? I need to know what it is that makes people blindly defend the man, it's quite interesting to me. Ted Thompson has one more year left in Green Bay, then hopefully after this years 7-9 campaign the Board of Directors will come to their senses and fire this horrible GM who has tainted the good name of this organization.

Are you Packerarcher? Becuase your posts sound almost identical. ANd again you have no evidence he ran Brett out of town. Brett RETIRED, remember? He quit. The Packers moved on. But you keep living in your assinine world of denial.

Ted is an asshat and a weasel and untill he is gone Packer Nation will be divided.
Plain truth, the healing will start as soon as he is gone, because so many Packer faithfull do not trust him

ANd since Favre has already proven to be a liar, any book he writes will hardly be credible.

Hahaha, you make no points whatsoever in your posts. If you want to keep drinking your Ted Thompson approved Kool-Aid and believe that he didn't run Favre out of town by all means keep drinking my friend. Keep living in your world of believing that this years team will do better than last years and keep believing that Rodgers will take the Packers to the level that Favre had them at. Wow, that Kool-Aid must take great.

ITs very obivous you refuse to see reality. You remind me of a poster over at Sportsbubbler. IT is the exact same bullshit drivel that person spews.

You seem like a very angry man, maybe that Thompson approved Koo-Aid you keep drinking has some alcohol in it. You seem very,very angry that Favre wants to keep on playing, despite the fact that he was traded from Green Bay. Should he only play for teams that are approved of by both Ted Thompson and Packer fans?

I have no problem with Favre playing. What I have is people like you making accusations about about Packers Management without a shred of evidence. All you havae been spewing is bullshit wwith no facts.

[Cornholio]

Keep drinking that Kool-Aid my friend. If you can't see that Thompson has taken this team back to what they were in the 80's then you can't be helped. Green Bay makes the playoffs 12 times in the 16 years prior to Thompson's arrival, including 4 straight. Since he arrived they have missed the playoffs 3 times in 4 years and are well on their way to making it 4 times in 5 years. How can you possibly keep defending this hack of a GM?
