    Does that mean that, in the eyes of the NFL, that Brett Favre is a Viking from now until eternity?

For Green, that should be the Packers anyway, I think.

      If you were Ahman Green, would you want to be listed with the Packers or the Texans?

      Which brings up an interesting question relating to a former Packer QB, if he has filed his retirement papers as was claimed. Will he forever be listed with the Vikings in the league offices?

      Now there you go using his name! Great, now this thread will get banished! I asked the same thing, but at least tried to be coy about it. But you? Nope. You just had to use the "F" word!!!

Like which hat youll wear in Cooperstown. LOL I have seen people say" He's going in the hall as a Bear or as a Packer. No such thing exists in Canton obviously.
        It's doesn't have to be meaningful to you, me or any other fan. It's meaningful to some of the players.
        What does what some people think about the HOF have to do with what I wrote, or this thread in general?

          I agree with what you are saying, but Green played with us again after he played for the Texans, right? So, this move was unnecessary. Or did he play for somebody after he played for us again? I don't remember him doing so.

            He played with that UFL team, maybe that counts in his mind.

                Maybe, but I'm not sure why. The UFL isn't the NFL. I'm sure he'll have other jobs post-NFL. His last NFL contract was with the Packers, right? If he bags groceries at Rainbow for his next job, will he have to sign another contract with the Packers after that's done?

                  he wants to retire as a Packer. got to be a Packer to retire as a Packer.

                    Good point.

                      Yup, that's what I said already. You don't need to convince me. I doubt the USFL has anything to do with it.

                        This thread is proof that good ideas should never be surrendered to a committee
                        Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

                            I miss watching Ahman play. He always had the potential to break a game wide open. Always a threat to score from anywhere.
                            No longer the member of any fan clubs. I'm tired of jinxing players out of the league and into obscurity.

                              this makes way to much sense, you do know this tread could have lasted at least another page without your comment gbgary, your being counter productive to the forum, laughs.

                                Or at least make him pass the conditioning test...
