Any chance you can snap a picture and post it here for us?

Anyone know what the current odds would be that it is an ESPN billboard ?

[SkinBasket]

Just like the good old days...

Mission, where in Atl. did you see those??? I haven't seen nothing up Lawrenceville way.

[mission]

I stay out in Lawrenceville now too actually but there's one on Peachtree Industrial (Chamblee) heading north (on the right) after the new Wal Mart plaza. I just saw it today... I'll take a camera out tomorrow and grab a snap. I'm pretty sure it was an ESPN billboard too but it completely surprised me... ESPN boards at all aren't something I'm used to seeing.

Well I want Favre and his Vikings to defeat the Packers. I want him to not only shove it up TT's ass, and McCarthy's ass.

I think you may be more vindictive than Favre.

Probably. I have my reasons. I have figured out that I am less upset at Thompson and McCarthy, my real distain is for all of the Packer fans that just can't get over their own little butt-hurt of Favre playing for the Vikings, or wanting to play when he retired. I love how some of you still hold on to the "HE RETIRED!!!" banter. Sure he retired, but realized he wanted to play again. Packer brass didn't want/need him in Green Bay anymore, so they sat on him, fucked with his ability to play the game of football and then traded him to the Jets, where he made the best out of a so-so situation.

I don't think a player makes a team, but I don't have sit back and believe that I have to like a GM regardless of his ability or his past decisions because I root for the team that he manages. Everyone took up sides in this battle, I chose to side with Favre, that didn't mean that I hated the Packers. I hated what Ted Thompson did to Brett Favre, I disliked McCarthy for the way he handled Favre. That didn't mean I held every other part of the Packer organization accountable. I have been one of Aaron Rodgers biggest supporters on this board. I still like watching Packer games, but now I probably watch the games similar to how beat reporters do, I watch less as a fan and more from a analytical standpoint. I do my best to call it like I see it rather than showing favortism to the Packers organization.

So you would like to see said Packer fans (the one's whose feelings are bruised by Favre in Purple) get their just desserts by having the Vikings beat the Packers.

And yet you sided with Favre and hated what Thompson and McCarthy did to him. And this hatred has caused you to become less of a fan of the team in general even though you do not blame everyone associate with the team, least of all Rodgers.

You are someone who did not wish to see Favre play for another team. How are these not two sides of the same coin?

Because you have been adult enough not to come up with a nickname like "Bert" for Thompson? I think you might feel better if you did. No reason to love a GM, especially one with a mixed record like Thompson's. But it might let you separate out the team from the GM.

Damn, you are like my shrink when it comes to football, how are you in handling the college football season?

Try calling him "Teats," Nutz. For some reason, it seems to fit.

And I like the guy.

I'm all for Aaron Rodgers and the Packer players as our team has become. I remain a Packer fan after Favre. I never have been and don't believe I'll ever cotten onto TT as a solid GM. I cannot get excited over MM. Favre is a better man than either of TT or MM.

I can't wait for the TRUTH on Favre and the real story on exactly why and how the Packers dumped him. Damn they even tossed in a $20 Million dollar bribe to silence him forever. All he wanted was to win. TT and Favre wern't on the same page.

All the pressure this season in the Vikings Vs Packers is on TT (not the Packers or Favre) and were about to see how he handles it.

I'm hoping for the filthy traitor to get a taste of poetic justice in this game.

What if the truth came out and it didn't sound anything like the story you tell? Would you believe it? Would it change your mind about anything else surrounding the story?

I mean, what if, say, for instance, Favre dumped the Packers. And the 20 million dollar offer (read: not a bribe) was made to keep his name and likeness for marketing purposes. Could you believe that, even if it were the truth?

I agree. I've said it before and I'll say it again: I want Favre to get the living shit kicked outta him. No permanent damage or anything like that (I'd like for him to be alive when he gets inducted into the HOF in five years), but I'd be completely happy if he got rag-dolled a few times, slammed into that metrodome turf, and left the game horizontally after throwing 4 or 7 INTs. Unfortunately, I don't see that happening. The Vikings are going to play it really conservative and run run run - and rely on their defense.

[channtheman]

I think that we can all agree that Favre saved the league by coming back.

Go to 4:44 and hear what John Madden has to say about Favre coming back. Maybe listen to the whole thing too because Caliendo is just hilarious at his impressions.

I'm prayin that Collins or Hawk or Matthews gets a clean shot at him off a blitz.
