When Favre gets inducted in Hall of Fame

[mraynrand]

Ok, then define what the author meant? Should Brett be the first guy to wear a hat? A jersey? Have Tarkington introduce him? Its hard to add to the 'discussion' when it makes no sense at all.

ya, wanna come over to my place and party?


I really have no idea how people think about Favre now.

he's a viking legend.

[KYPack]

31's got this one.

They just list the teams and when you played.

You go in the NFL HOF as a human.

So BLF will go into the HOF as a dizzy, flawed, famous hillbilly.

Honestly, I think Favre really is apathetic toward being disliked. The guy clearly has very little regard for anyone other than himself. The fame went to his head and he became a diva who is also a hick...so I guess that makes him a dick?

I don't expect him to try to ever "rekindle" the love in Green Bay. At this point, he knows Rodgers is the man in Green Bay and his ego is too big to consider receiving a luke-warm reception. The wounds Favre ripped open in his departure aren't likely to heal for many years. I also do not expect the Packer organization to extend an olive branch either. Eventually, he'll find his way into the Packer HOF but that will be about it in terms of recognition as far as the Packer organization is concerned. His ego-fueled behavior the last couple years tarnished his image beyond belief, so I can't see the Packers ever choosing to embrace the guy ever again unless he shows some regret and humility.

The chances of that are incredibly remote IMO.

So did you mean is he going to be thought of as a Packer? or a Viking? This still makes my head ache. But if thats what you meant, time will heal his non-sense. Hours of highlight films will be our memory and he will be remembered as a Packer. Montana's a 49er, Namaths a Jet, and so on.

So he's got to do something before he goes into the HoF to get people liking him again.

Maybe he could send out some pictures from his phone.

I went from "angry" when Favre forced his way out to "I don't care anymore". The fact his season imploded last year while the Packers won a Super Bowl and his replacement was the Super Bowl MVP didn't hurt.

ya, ya, ya. So I screwed up the poll question on a technicallity. The idea is to find out whether people still feel so spiteful towards Favre that they want to disown him.

I said Vikings just because I think it would be funny and I'm not sentimental about BF. I don't hate him, tho. I sense most people in WI are 100% fed-up with Favre and would be fine disowning him. But maybe more committed fans, like people in this forum, are ready to forgive or forget.

The real question is, who is he going to retire as? Does he ask for a 1 day contract from the Pack? The way he acted I am guessing he isn't going to do that.

As per the Packers, TT has no ego, so he will be the one that extends the olive branch the year BLF goes to the hall of fame. I would guess that the Packers retire his number officially the same year.

I would guess, judging from that photo, that number might be about 5 1/2?

That would be sigworthy if it wasn't so naughty.

The poll lacked the option..."Don't Care".

Personally, I hope the organization waits for a posthumous celebration, whether it's me or him won't matter.

[HowardRoark]

I don't think about Favre.

I wasn't heckling you, Harlan. I like to heckle you, but I was just re-iterating 31's point. The NFL HOF has had that policy for a long time. It really makes sense with FA. Many players have made the Pro bowl now for 3 teams. The Neon one played for 5 teams, I think. Your bust just shows your helmet-less head.

I really wonder if TT will be the GM in 5 years. Every year at that job are like dog years.

Actually, Harlan, I've meant to post on this. You've been doing a good job at starting threads, stirring the afor-mentioned pot, and being a blue pooch.

I don't think Favre's legacy can survive him unretiring in order to ask for a symbolic contract from a team so he can retire again. Favre is currently retired, the retirement paperwork was filed months ago. May God have mercy on our souls if he ever unretires.

Favre will go into the HOF as a very tough and dedicated to his profession NFL Great QB. Name five Packer players you've seen that were more exciting and gave more to the game in terms of effort. All those records will shout out HOF and his status as one of the Greatest iron men in all of Pro Sports is the real ticket.

So blow all the 'HATE smoke you' need to Packerrats.

Brett Favre is 'a LOCK' HOFer.

Having posted that. FAVRE really pissed me off at times and on the field none moreso than that silly flip pass 'no pass' VS Minny in the playoffs back in 2004. I will always feel that supid 'NO PLAY', was the beginning of his demise as a GREEN BAY Packer. Any man 'even one with club feet' would have ran the pigskin into the end zone on that play. That was 'just too silly'. I watched that game with a new NFL fan and a fella that was beginning to enjoy Brett Favre. He was pissed at Favre and would have attacked him if he could have. I was devastated and embarassed for 3-4 months. It was definitely one of those WTF moments in Favre's by far overall, illustrious but somewhat tainted 'by his head errors' career.

The whole thing with the scandal shocked me and gave me pain I will never get over. I am by nature and manner of personality a LOYAL person.

What a mess he made of that. Damn he's Brett Favre. Did he believe he was like the rest of us or anonymous? If we did anything like that.... NOTHING WOULD COME OF IT. FAVRE WAS ALWAYS IN MY VIEW THE FIGUREHEAD OF THE NFL. HE WAS 'THE MAN'. HE EMBARASSED HIS WIFE AND CHILDREN AND HIS FAMILY. HE LET HIS REMAINING FANS DOWN MISERABLY BECAUSE HE ISN'T ANY ORDINARY MAN. HE'S BRETT FAVRE.

HE TOOK AN AWESOME CAREER AND PISSED ALL OVER ALL OF HIS AMAZING ACCOMPLISHEMMENTS AND STAINED HIS IMAGE; BUT HE WALKS INTO THE HOF.

Why!? Simple. He was A OUTSTANDING NFL QB AND LEADER OF MERIT AND EXAMPLE ON THE FIELD OF PLAY. I T WAS SOME OF THE STUFFF OFF THE FIELD THAT BOTHERED ME..ALWAYS WILL; BUT........ I will not judge him.

GO Packers !
