Am I the Only One Thinking Good For You Brett?

Favre impacts Vikings ticket sales

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/football/nfl/08/19/tickets.ap/index.html

Bash him, hate him, love him or leave him.........
He sure can sell tickets.........

[Scott Campbell]

Then give it a fucking rest,there are plenty of ex Packers that have played for other teams,even the Queens. Yet none of those players get the bashing Brett does.

As far as I know, none of them called opposing teams during game week.

Favre = filthy lying scumbag

Re: Am I the Only One Thinking Good For You Brett?

They need a face...

and someone who can win in crunch time.

That is what you provide.

Indeed.

I wonder how many times you mocked Al Harris for being completed humiliated by Plaxico Burrus that game.

[ThunderDan]

But, why would any true FAN want to see more humiliation of one of the greatest to ever lace up a cleat, let alone adorn the G&G?

Because he is now playing for the Vikings! Viking success = Packer headaches.

Did people ignore the whole "2 teams from the NFC North in the playoffs is good for the division" thing that I brought up? It's just like when, 2, sometimes 3 teams are in the playoffs from the NFC East. That is good for their division. If we are to get two in possibly, why not the vikings? I mean, it's either them or the bears. I don't mind either really (as long as we win the division), but I gotta admit that hey, I am still a favre fan. I did follow the jets last year when he played for them, and honestly I don't feel betrayed.

I really like the attitude Favre had yesterday at the press conference. I'm paraphrasing here.

Does this tarnish your legacy:

It's my legacy, it's what I think of it. 16 Great seasons with the packers, you can't undo what I did. I regret how it went down at the end of my packers career... blah blah

What about the media circus, people who feel you betrayed, blah blah, indecisions, unretirement, etc:

Don't Watch if you don't like it.

You hung out on the Jets forum all season long, constantly extolling his virtues to a increasingly disgruntled Jet fan base. You're an embarrassment.

Main Entry: 1leg·a·cy
Pronunciation: \ˈle-gə-sē\
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural leg·a·cies
Etymology: Middle English legacie office of a legate, bequest, from Anglo-French or Medieval Latin; Anglo-French, office of a legate, from Medieval Latin legatia, from Latin legatus
Date: 15th century
1 : a gift by will especially of money or other personal property : bequest
2 : something transmitted by or received from an ancestor or predecessor or from the past <the legacy of the ancient philosophers>

See a legacy is what is passed down from one generation to the next. Brett can't selectively say this is my leagacy and not bring up his distractors also. He may want everyone to remember only the positives but that isn't what a legacy is.

This isn't college football where strength of conference gets you into bowl games.

"I wonder how many times you mocked Al Harris for being completed humiliated by Plaxico Burrus that game."

People seem to conveneiently forget that Harris being burned repeatedly by an injured Plax is what put that game into desperation mode.

Re: Am I the Only One Thinking Good For You Brett?

It seems to be that way. Many think he is betraying the franchise, many people dread him wearing purple. Some are afraid of the vikings being better then us now. Others are just making fun of him. Others feel this secures our division. Others are sick of the favre saga and realize that a year from now we have to do it all over again.

To me: I say good for you Brett. You want to play football. The Jets suck. GB didn't want you. The vikings did. It is a good situation. A decent running game, a decent defense. Sub par WR's. They need a face, and someone who can win in crunch time. That is what you provide.

I never really hoped on with all the favre hate 2 years ago, and I wont now. The guy wants to play football and I have to admit: The vikings are a good situation for him. Sure, maybe it's for 2 "revenge" games, but if his team makes the playoffs and we don't, I would think twice.

personally, I want to see The packers dominate and win the division this season, and win the super bowl, but I wouldn't mind the vikings grabbing a WC spot with favre there. I respect both AP and Favre. Plus, more teams from our division in the playoffs is good for our division.

It also could potentionally set up a NFC Championship game at Lambeau with Favre and the vikings coming to town. Tell me that wouldn't be exciting. We better win if that happens.


Just saying though, good for you Brett. You wanted to play, you wanted a chance to beat the packers, you want to go to playoffs and win a super bowl possibly: The vikings are as good of team as any for you to attempt to get it done with. That is, unless we came knocking, which would never happen.

Sharper and Longwell played for the Vikes, Reggie was a Panther, etc, etc...
Does anyone remember when most Packer fans were the class of the NFL?

Amen brother!

I would of said f'n lying douche bag, but then again I don't talk too pretty.

Um. I hung out at one jets forum, and I wasn't the only packer fan there. Just because you like one player doesn't mean you are not a true packer fan. I watch more then just the packer games on sunday for various reasons, but mostly because I love to watch the NFL. The packers are merely the only team I am skipping church to make sure I see.

Yeah, I was at a jets forum, as well as packerrats and packersnews. Come now. Can't I be a fan of who I want to be a fan of. It's like you're calling me a traitor because I like favre or something.

[Scott Campbell]

It's like you're calling me a traitor because I like favre or something.

I didn't call you a traitor. I called you an embarrassment. And anyone curious could just read your posts over there for verification.

[Jimx29]

Personally I don't jump on and off bandwagons like many do. With that being said, I hope Brett has another MVP season and wins another super bowl.

For heaven's sake St. Vince went to Washington............OK, they weren't division rivals.........
.but it just proves the point that this is a business AND a game.
