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

[Scott Campbell]

Funny? Nah.........

Dude, my tax accountant has a better sense of humor than you do.


I thought it was funny.

[falco]

Funny? Nah, but not offensive either.

I guess that means I'm 0 for 2 then.

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.

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

So because it's a free society that means those who still support Favre the NFL QB stiil can cheer any success as that's perceived.

2. " 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). " falco

A reasonable choice falco. So as long as the Packers have a shot 'of course', you as a resonable Packer fan, would cheer the Packers over any other team. As an NFL fan I'm always switching loyalties as certain teams fall beside the wayside. Often I have non favourite games rather simply wish for a great or closely competitive game.

Is that (Favre's spite) his motivation? If so is that based in opinion or a fact of truth? What is your evidence he decided to consider Minnesota out of spite as a major motivator falco?

GO PACKERS!

I think Favre's feelings and motives have been pretty well documented. I have neither the motivation nor passion (I don't care and I'm lazy) to do the research. Feel free to take a look yourself though. I wasn't aware that they made blinders that fit a moose.

[falco]

That's right, consider yourself warned...

I'm offensive and creative like handicapped porn.

You don't care and your lazy (falco). Now there's a confession.

and. . .

Do you see any blinders on that moose falco? I don't. Although moose are sight impaired our health plan doesn't cover them for glass's etc. I'm thinking some bright American starlet might just look into making that a cause like save the whales and/or save the sharks.

and we're off topic. There's your release hold.

Packers!

Sorry dude, ok...I laughed and laughed.........and then became really outraged.


I agree with your other comment though, it will make the season really interesting if nothing else.

Snyder might open the vault for Favre, but if he was willing, were is the offer?

My guess is that Snyder realizes, just like the rest of us realize, that the Vikings are the only team Favre would come back to play for. Knowing that there's zero chance Favre would even entertain an offer, much less accept one, why make the offer in the first place?

[woodbuck27]

Yes, why is he only talking to the Vikes?? If he is still hell bent on revenge he's playing for all the wrong reasons! I'll believe BF is a queen when I see the PC in Minneapolis. The thought of him wearing purple is repugnant to me big time. :P But what I'd love to know what the hold up is here? I find it curious BF is still riding his tractor down in MS...

As long as we're posting all sorts of unfounded and negative stories about Favre. SLANDER.

What about something positive? Thinking outside the box.

Favre is a FA. He hasn't signed officially with the Vikings or any team. Maybe he still hopes to return to the Packers?

1. Afterall our offense declined somewhat (about 5th to 8th) after he was traded to the Jets.

2. Favre in Green Bay means no Favre in Minnesota.

GO PACK GO!

[Tyrone Bigguns]

Hey, Brett did some wonderful things as a Packer - like being supportive of Koren Robinson for instance. But it's not like I'd have questioned his Christian faith if he hadn't supported the guy.

Yes, but when Jesus returned from the grave he didn't go side with the lions versus the Christians in the coliseum.

Is that even funny? Maybe I should apologize in advance.

We sometimes forget that the Lions had a pretty good offense.

And home Coliseum advantage.

Not to mention Jesus had his own TT, Judas.

1- The Vikings run the SAME offense Favre has run his whole life, said it himself that he could coach it... the Redskins DO NOT

2- The Vikings have a way better team than the Redskins, so why on earth would he go there over the Vikes?

1) There is some legitimacy to this argument, although it isn't the exact same offense. It's a similar offense, but different in the fact that it doesn't rely upon the QB to make it go. They won't be asking Brett to make the plays, or at least shouldn't be as long as AP is lining up behind him.

2) Very disputable. The Vikings certainly don't have a WAY better team than the Redskins. If they are a better team, it's by a very small margin. And, like the Vikings, the Redskins are only an exceptional quarterback away from being legitimate SB contenders. Don't forget that they too have an exceptional RB in Portis, a speedy WR in Moss, and an extremely versatile TE in Cooley. 4 first round picks make up their defensive backfield, and they just made Haynesworth a very rich man playing on their defensive line. Aside from your first example, the difference between the two teams is almost nil.

Only o few narrow minded children still think that spite or sticking it to Teddy is high on the list of Brett Favres decision to return.
Everthing is in place for him in Minny to make a final run for another ring.
IMO the Vikes are head and shoulders above the Skins, both talentwise and team cohesiveness.

Of course your correct.

[woodbuck27]

ah bullshit... that competitive nature comes out from anything. People telling him he cant do something, someone telling him hes washed up. THOSE are some of the reasons he kept playing. But yes, those are minor things as his main thing is still WINNING FOOTBALL GAMES. This TT thing is just another log on the fire my friend.

TT never said he was washed up. Neither did anyone else. I'd like you to post your source that gave you this information. By all reported accounts, we moved on because Brett retired and we had a 24 year old fully groomed QB waiting for an opportunity. Your argument entirely omits the fact that Favre would have remained the starting quarterback for the Green Bay Packers had he not confirmed that he was retired from football and the Green Bay Packers. So it wasn't because he was washed up, it's because he quit. Again, if you are so certain it was because the Packers told him he was washed up that he has become spiteful, please post a link to a credible source supporting this theory.

My belief is that Favre became spiteful the moment he realized Thompson wasn't going to wipe his ass after every shit the way Sherman did, and thought himself better than fair or equal treatment, having become THE Green Bay Packers. Granted that's only my belief. But the diva act that followed his first false retirement only strengthens that belief.

Have you ever had a job that you quit, only to regret quitting? I have. Funny, I didn't get my job back either when I asked. In fact, they never even considered it. I've come to understand that this is the way it generally goes. When you quit, someone else has to be hired/promoted to fill that vacancy. The position is then unavailable when you come back. The fact that Ted and Mike would even consider bringing him back as a starter, moving Rodgers back down to #2 after already handing him the keys, is more than almost any other employer would have done.

Yes to it all.

There's a picture of Deanna on a lawn tractor? I'm sorry, but a woman who mows lawn is flat-out sexy.

Offensive comment removed - please note that Deputy Nutz's reply is to the removed comment and not the Fritz comment - Admin

Why is this useful? I know you try to think of yourself as a funny person, but there is no basis for this opinion or comment. Anything you can come up with to slander, or speak ill of Brett Favre or his family.

Deanna has done a lot for the community of Wisconsin, Green Bay, and also in Mississippi. She has been a leader in the Cancer community. My sister in law has met her on several occasions and has listened to her speak, her opinion is she is certainly not a dumb person, but one that is intelligent and very brave, and caring.

She was never one to seek the lime light because of her husband's fame, that is until she developed breast cancer and realized how lucky she was because she had the capabilities to get the top notch treatment to cure her disease, unlike many other women in America, so she spoke out, and has done a fantastic job at raising money, and promoting the awareness and detection of breast cancer.

Again, I know you are not the majority of Packer fans, and thank god for that, but you and several others are a good reason why I have developed a growing dislike for Packer fans.

Edit - Well said Deputy Nutz. Thank you for voicing your opinion. - Admin

This whole Favre issue has been difficult on a large percentage of really dedicated Packer fans Deputy Nutz. To see where it's taken you adds to my respect for you. I indeed respect you as one of the most knowledgeable members of Packerrats in terms of football. Yet it can get deeper than that in terms of our loyalties for not only 'the team' but certain players.

It was tough to see Ahman Green go. I'm sure members have had to deal with the loss of other players that made a special contribution to our team.

GO PACKERS!

[woodbuck27]

Ther're alot of people in our world that we might lower ourselves to hatred but to go there with a man like Brett Favre is is way beyond sensable. It appears to me as merely a vehicle for some to vent their obvious frustrations with themselves, and those people have no sense of pride or embarassment. They just go on banging.

I prefer not to judge people solely on their views on football.

Good Scott.

[woodbuck27]

Do you go past judging to sentencing him?

Sentencing him?

Ok - 60 days in Canada. That'll teach him.

Not so bad long as it's not blackfly season.
