Please. That was not an above average intervew. That was a disgusting exhibition of Buck sucking Favre's dick. It was exacty what I predicted becuase Buck doesn't have a pair. That is why I mentioned Bob Costas. Bob isn't afraid to confront athletes with real queations.
Yes, but Brett is. Brett's choice of interviewers should tell you all you need to know.
Breaking news...hard hitting favre interview with Larry King scheduled.
Ty can't wait to find out what Brett's favorite color is!
Makes me just as worthy of an opinion about Buck as you are about Mr Favre.
Buck is a self important ass-hat and it comes across very clearly to me when watching him speak live on TV. I'm hardly alone in this opinion. A very simple google search will yield you tons of results. I just calls em as I sees em and Joe Buck got his break in broadcasting because his dad got him in. He's awful in the NFL booth IMO and as you see when you watch that vid with him and Lange he takes himself way too fuckin serious. I've formed this opinion over years of exposure to his suckness. This has nothing to do with your man.
If you haven’t already stabbed pencils deep into your ear canal in defense against his grating voice, this may come as a surprise. Following an extensive survey and a review of years of data, the results are in—Joe Buck is a complete, irredeemable assclown.
It’s difficult to pinpoint when exactly JoeBu made the leap from irritating prick to utter assclown. Things didn’t exactly did get off on the right note when he earned a plum NFL announcing gig with Fox Sports at the age of 25 based on…his last name. Prior to that, the Lesser Buck had followed in the footsteps of his legendary father, Jack, by broadcasting play by play for the St. Louis Cardinals. And he only got that job because, in his own words, he sent the tape to Anheuser-Busch (owner of the Cardinals) and “they saw the novelty of my being Jack Buck’s kid.” Budweiser is shitty beer, and now we have reason to hate it even more.
After a couple of years of mediocre work with the Cards, Joe’s mommy put in a good word for him with then-Fox Executive Producer Ed Goren. Invited to an audition, this nancy-boy somehow secured a spot as the youngest full-season NFL announcer ever, in 1994. Our Sundays have never been the same.
Buck would likely be a minor regional nuisance, a hemorrhoid on the ass of middle-America, if he hadn’t then added a prime time MLB play-by-play position in 1996. Perhaps seeking to bludgeon their viewers with a one-two punch of smarmy condescension and verbal incontinence, Fox teamed the arrogant Buck with the moronic Tim McCarver. How this unholy union didn’t cause an immediate collapse of Earth’s gravitational field, forming a black hole of suckiness, we will never know. The nation subsequently suffered through Buck’s calls of the 1996, 1998, 2000-2002 World Series, Mark McGwire’s 62nd home run in 1998, and too many other big baseball events to count.
Every sports enthusiast can probably compile their own list of how Buck has tragically scarred them. In my estimation, he attained arch-nemesis status in the 2003 ALCS, with his laughably one-sided sports commentary on behalf of the New York Yankees. Aided by the clueless McCarver, who would be left to die of exposure if he lived in China, Buck did everything short of digging up Babe Ruth’s bones and wearing a cape made of them to jinx the Red Sox. If Fox had replaced them with a YES Network announcer and a tree stump, the difference would have been negligible.
The Sox lost that series in heartbreaking fashion, but came back the next year to triumph over the Yanks with a record-setting comeback in the 2004 ALCS, leading ultimately to a World Series victory. Of course, Joe Schmuck was along for the ride, second-guessing and downplaying the Sox the entire time. Rumors that he was the middle of a Derek Jeter-GayRod Manwich in the clubhouse after Game 3, while unproven, still circulate.

I propose the following bright line test for "true fan of the packers".
If the season has not started yet, and you are entertaining the notion of "wanting a division rival to defeat the Packers this year", you are not truly a Packer fan.
And you know what? It's okay to not be a Packer fan, there are 6 billion people on the planet and most of them aren't Packer fans. I think the thing that's being illustrated in the last few years of Favrestravaganza that there are a lot of people who were under the impression that they were Packer fans, but they were primarily Brett Favre fans and they only cheered for the Packers because that's where Favre played. You know what? That's okay too.
Wanting an ex-Packer to succeed and current members of the Packers organization to fail is a fairly clear sign of "Fan of a player, less so a team."
Great post, I really couldn't have said it better myself. I grew up idolizing Favre, with just a few fleeting memories of the late 80's and pre-Favre 90's along with my grandfathers stories to make me know how lucky we as Packer fans were. I read his biography a couple times. His perseverance over alcohol and vicodin are inspirtational to anybody who cares to know.
That being said, we are Packer fans. If you aren't with us you are against us. Brett Favre is just a guy to me now and it's a sad thing. For any of you to actually hope the Packers lose is ridiculous. I've met my fair share of atrocious sports fans. You know the kind, they ride the closest bandwagon they can find in any sport. Honestly, you people wishing your team to lose are the worst kind of fan I can imagine. Unless you have no life, you are here because you absolutely love the Packers and feel compelled to share that love with others over this impersonal, soul-less thing we call the internet. To wish a team you love ill will because of one man is absurd. I shun you all ill-wishers to the Packers with a fuck you and get a clue. One man has never won anything in the NFL. If you people(and I feel no need to name names) really feel the need to bash the Packers because your beloved Favre is playing against them then you should probably ask Rastak what Vikings forum he frequents.

I was raised to want the Packers to win no matter what but I also watched a man for 16 years pour his heart out for Green Bay Packers football. Now some yahoo comes in here and decided for me when that was going to end?
I think you may be taking this all too personally. You seem to imagine you have this personal relationship with the people involved and they're wronging you by making decisions completely unrelated to you.
I think there's a difference between being a fan - even a dedicated, rabid one, and a creepy Stan.

I like "creepy Stan" but according to my daughter the newest term is "creeper." As in, "that guy who followed me is a real creeper."
If I were in the clown business I think it'd be fun to develop a clown character whose face was shaped like an ass and who wore disgusting brown clown suits. The name of course would be "Arnie the AssClown" or something.

I disagree with nearly everybody in here but giving my view on the Buck interview or anything related to Favre is worthless because it just ends up in sarcastic rips or insults
That hasn't stopped you from making draft predictions.
I'm sorry but if you have to make up your mind on whther you want the Packers to win you probably don't belong on a Packer message board.
About sums it up.
ya because you two bozos determine who should be on packer boards and who shouldnt be... grow up peter pan, count chocula.. this is a free world, eminem

It is indeed. Which is why the Vikings are free to have their own fan forums too, just like we do. If you think you'd prefer the Vikings to win the division, you are free to head on over there and pledge your support. Nobody is trying to keep you from expressing yourself, just trying to direct you to the proper forum.
I agree that if you are to post on a Packers forum under the presumed identity of a Packer fan you should at the very least want the Packers to beat every single opponent they play, regardless of the circumstance. That much should be a given.

LOL
I guess it is a bit much to expect a PACKER fan on a PACKER message board to hope for the PACKERS to win.
