Where do the Favre lovers stand on Favre being a Viking?

[Rastak]

Interesting question is this, can a team reassign a number without the player's permission? I would think so, they are the ones assigning them I would guess.

Patler, any idea?

I really have no idea, but you do see number changes announced at times, especially if a player changes positions. Whether is is done only with the players consent, or at the players request, I really don't know. However, from a locker room aspect, I can't imagine a team ever taking away a number without consent just to give it to a player they are bringing in. It just wouldn't be good precedent, and could cause resentment. I think it is more important in the NFL, where we see them as their number when they play, because the uniforms are so neutralizing.

I completely agree, although millions of dollars in marketing versus some 3rd string QB's feelings has an end result that does not require further elaboration.

So Booty should get to keep the number?

SC

dissident makes xcelent points; why do u dislike favre now?

Because I think that what he did was morally wrong. And because it's my right to feel how I feel.

Do you know what a "heel" is in wrestling?

[Fritz]

Aw, let him play already.

This is Booty's opportunity to make real cash. It is a custom to buy the number from the player. Booty should demand $250,000. Brett can afford that in a heartbeat.

I think he should play. I think he's beyond redemption in the court of public opinion anyway.

[Fritz]

I believe it will be akin to watching a Greek tragedy.

We can all experience catharsis after the Nov. 1 game in Lambeau. I don't think Favre will poke his eyes out and wander alone in Mississippi, but he might actually retire this time.

What are the odds of Brett sleeping with Bonita? Unconfirmed rumors have Bus taking out Irv at the behest of Brett.

I think Favre deserves to play this year. And all packer fans deserve the right to cheer against him.

I've said it before - if TT booted Favre to the curb, I would cheer for him to win a superbowl with another team (assuming he wasn't playing the pack).

But for him to go to the vikings just out of spite? That's a slap in the face to every packer fan.

[cpk1994]

I just don't understsand the obsession with some on here over Favre. We have different opinions over how it was handled last year. I personally think they all acted like ego maniacs.

Overall I think the Packers will be better in the long run going with Rodgers. We had maybe 2 more years with Favre and I personally would have kept him as long as possible but Rodgers looks like he could be really good so I am fine with it.

But shoudl Favre play again. Thats up to him and if a team wants him. Like I said before it is entertainment business. It isn't war, there are no traders. If you are too loyal in sports you lose.

Some of you have to let it go. I have. I was upset at Green Bay for the way they handled everything but have since let it go.

YOu should tell that to Brett. He is the one not letting it go. And has been said, he is playing out of spite and to "stick it to TT". The man is scum.

[dissident94]

i am just as passionate as anyone. Loses just destroy me. But let him play. We could have had him. Now we don't so bring him on.

Didn't this type of thing happen when Green went to Houston.....if I'm remembering right? And then whoever it was he bought the # from donated all the money to a charity.

[MJZiggy]

Yeah, that sounds about right.

My guess is the Vikings will donate JD Booty to charity. I know alot of people think TJack will be the one who gets cut, but I think Chilly loves him too much. This number question will be a non-issue.

I sincerely believe Favre has enough money to buy whatever number he want from whomever has it.
