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

[MOBB DEEP]

I hate to break it to you, Buck, but there are still some who haven't gotten over it--and they believe that it's because of the history that he should have been retained, not the potential. But the fact is that the league doesn't run on history. It runs on potential.

There are still some that are angry that Favre was not retained I agree. However, there are many, including myself, that are more so angered that Packer fans are now disrespecting the history that very much DID included Favre.

History belongs in a museum. I'd like to be able to visit the Packers HOF and relive the Favre years. The sooner that happens, the happier I'll be.

What angers me is that there are some Packer fans that feel that history has a place on the football field. How are we to relive the Favre years while watching him playing for a rival, wearing the colors of the enemy? I don't see this as Packer fans disrespecting history - I see it as Packer fans anxiously awaiting for it to become history. It isn't history just yet. Once it becomes history, I don't think there will be many people that are disrespectful of it.

I am one of the first to get on Favre while he's playing, but I'll be one of the first to celebrate a great career as soon as it's over. And I think most people feel the same way. Not everyone, but most.

"enemy" gun?

is this life or death?

lets keep nfl in perspective; ENTERTAINMENT only! like a denzel movie

The story line some could write over this Brett Favre talk of becoming the Viking's strarting QB is to date. Still fiction Packer fans. We should simply believe that our GM Ted Thompson and company aborted Favre for a better short - longterm plan. Something was finally done and in my view to reduce tensions for our team.

After that and as it's played out Favre has every right to do with his life as he pleases and that should be respected. If that includes him coming into Lambeau and doing a little smackdown on his former team?

So be it and really all and only a part of 'just sports'.

GO PACKERS!

He wasn't aborted!! "I'm done." Remember? Did he not look 'done' to you during that presser??

Every fan has a right to boo him mercilessly if they see fit, and that should be respected.

Yes. So you (possibly) and others 'of course' may boo him and others will still cheer him Scott. Each his own to decide. It's a free society and booing a part of sports.

GO PACK GO!

MJ. I wish he was done. It was very hard watching him finish 2008 but even in the final game he flashed brilliance damaged shoulder and all. He looked like Favre.

If the Vikings get him as their QB then they are the team to beat in the NFCN. That will be a fact of life for anyone in the Packer organization, Packer fan or otherwise to contend with.

[MJZiggy]

Ya know what? I just don't think so anymore. "Flashes" of brilliance won't get it done. Consistency will and I'm not convinced he has a season's worth of consistency left. If he goes to Minny, I'm pissed, not because I think he'll be so fearful a weapon for Minny, but because he was willing and pressing for doing it in the first place. And you guys are right. The Lombardi comparison is just stupid.

I am an extremely passionate Packer fan. It's more than simply entertainment to me, as if I could be okay with a Packers loss because it's mere entertainment and none of it matters. I bleed Green and Gold. It's a part of life, not just a form of entertainment. I can sleep alot easier at night after watching a horrible Denzel flick than I can after watching the Vikings beat the Packers. That's how it is.

Funny I should have to explain this to someone who believes the order of the Trinity goes from Father to Son to Holy Spirit to Brett Favre... You are just as passionate as I, just not for the Packers. You should understand.
