Super Bowl win opens flood gates....

[SMBASS]

You are probably right. AR is the new sheriff in town. I just hope he doesn't rip your hearts out in the end like Favre has. It would be a shame to have almost 3 decades of hall of fame play at the QB position ruined for many fans, because of human flaw.

This entire thread is nothing but a bunch of trolling bullshit. All you need to do is look at the bolded line above to relaize that this is a statement that comes from a Favre fan....not a fan of the Green Bay Packers. I personally don't give a damn if anyone likes or dislikes Favre since he basically became irrelevant to me once he was no longer a Packer. Thanks for the memories, etc., Bert but you're no longer a member of the TEAM I've supported and been a loyal fan of for over 40 years so I personally don't care what you do or don't do anymore.

The thing that pisses me off is the people who feel the need to come in here after we just won the frickin SUPER BOWL and continue to try to justify their criticism and blatant attacks on T.T., Aaron, etc., over the past few years. Do us all a favor and just STFU, go away, and take your tired, sorry-ass, buzz-kill routine with you.

My team just won the Super Bowl and we are World Champions! Stop trying to piss on my parade and just let me enjoy the journey and the thrill of the victory! I feel the team is in a position to get back here again thanks to the efforts of T.T., and many others, but I sure as heck don't take anything for granted. It takes some luck and alignment of the stars in addition to having a good team to win the Super Bowl and Lord only knows when everything is going to fall into place once again. I'd really like to savor and enjoy this win as much as possible without having to continuously read and hear about all of the extra-curricular crap that played no part in what THIS TEAM accomplished this year!

I don't think we should be telling other members to STFU and go away if they state their opinions about football, just if they get outta line with other posters personally. We have too few contributing members as it is. I agree, this thread was as necessary as trying to organize a fuck in a brothel, but I, for one, value the Favre supporters. I just don't agree with them.

I think LEWCWA makes a shrewd obseravtion in his last post, when he says he hopes 3 decades of Pro Bowl QB play could break our hearts. For many of us hoping to relish the Favre years in hindsight, we feel robbed. That's where my hate for Bert comes from, at least.

Ha ha ha. I can't believe we are still using the "F" word around here. He is nothing more than a used up relic that two slightly homosexual men with their own cable TV show will find while "picking" thru a broken down barn in Southern Mississippi 40 years from now.

In honor of the Superbowl, and the utter lack of Favre that should be going on, I'll change my avatar.

The best thing about Aaron Rodgers is...That I don't have to worry about him finding a way to lose a game.

The highlighted part is my whole point. If Arod plays for 10 more years at a high level, but finishes somewhere else in a bad breakup and acts like a clown, it won't rip my heart out. I will appreciate what he brings to the table while with GB and thats it. I don't give a shit what these guys do in there personal life, they can get a hooker everynight for all I care, they can send croc shots to the world. It doesn't matter to me.

and where do you get off saying I attack Rodgers or TT or anybody for that matter. I think the worst thing, I have ever said about Rodgers is that the chances of him replacing a legend and haveing success wasn't very good and that really wasn't a criticism, just what I had seen in the past. He has more than replaced a legend, he has set his career on a legendary path of it own. The guy has been awsome. Hell I don't think you will find any criticism of TT by me either. Hell I still think JH was a good pick. It didn't work out, yet, but at the time looked good to me!

In conclusion, if this enrages you so much you should probably get some help. Heart attacks and strokes are nothing to mess around with!

Why wouldn't we talk about Favre. Christ he is going to have a spot in Lambeau some day for all eternity and nobody will ever wear his number again.

Do you give a shit what these palyers do to the Packers? Favre pissed people off long before the recent off-the-field stuff came out and it had nothing to do with his personal life and everything to do with his clear attempts to get back at the Packers for perceived wrongs. Loved him when he was playing his heart out for the Pack. Can't stand him when he was outright rooting against them. Fair enough?

Let's have a poll. I say his number hangs in limbo. Do not retire it officially until he can go for ten years without embarrassing himself. I don't want that number retired if he goes all OJ meets Mel Gibson and drives his tractor all over Kiln squishing Episcopalians.


And at that point we give the number to the camp punters.

That sure is fair enough. Sounds like a healthy opinion.

But his spot might be at the bottom of a urinal.

Favre is a piece of crap. You need to lash out. Again. We get it.


p.s. We told you so.

I've seen a few people still trotting out their Favre unis. Eternity is a long time.

So you are saying we should all be apathetic, like you? If you choose not to invest yourself like many of us do, that's up to you. The Packers have a close personal relationship with their fans, i'st a large part of their legacy. It's natural for those that had such a close attachment to have strong emotions when a beloved member of the organization does so much to hurt it.

Don't feel bad for us. We're ok. Actually, I feel bad for you. Its that very same attachment that you tell us to avoid that made winning the Super Bowl so special. I know that if I felt that way you did it wouldn't have meant as much.

[Scott Campbell]

Don't let him fool you. He's heavily invested in Favre.

[LEWCWA]

Don't let him fool you. He's heavily invested in Favre.

following is my thoughts, oct of 2008, I was invested in Favre for a long time as a player. Any how through 43 pages of the Favre thread I have 3 posts and this is the first one that shows any opinion! On the other hand I can't count your posts in that thread, so you tell me who is heavily invested in Favre! Just because it is negative doesn't mean your not invested in the man and milking it for all it is worth!!!!

Wow that is pretty extreme! I would like to clarify that I think Rodgers is developing nicely into his job. He has really shown me something. The guy has really made some big boy throws! Also I love to watch Brett play more than any other player period! Bar none! The guy has been a pleasure.....We can debate whether it was time to go forever, it doesn't really matter, he is gone. I would rather he finished in Green and Gold, but I don't get to make those decisions. The thing that gets me is some around here seem to want to desecrate all he has been to This franchise to validate their opinions...that sucks! You can be of the mind that it was time to go and still be a fan of his. All of you who shit on him at every turn are pretty sad! Now I don't bash TT(think he has done a great job) Don't bash Rodgers(think he has been stellar), but I do bash the few blowhards around here who can't handle being a Favre fan as well as a Packer fan.

If. If. If. If. If.

Favre got the benefit of the doubt long before his world came crashing down on him. Until Rodgers does anything at all to show himself Favre-like in behavior he gets the benefit.

You keep trying to project Favre's character traits and flaws onto Rodgers.

Maybe so.
