Hey Harvey, hit profootballtalk.com this once.....

I thought the Havel picture was funny. Havel is like FAvre's little stooge. I like Havel in many ways, but his undieing love for Favre is funny.

This picture is pretty stupid. It seems like they enjoy ripping Favre. Look, he's on his way out. He's in his last year or 2 at the most. There is no need to mock a guy on his way out the door.

Especially given what he's meant to the NFL and to the Green Bay Packers and it's fans Gregjennings.

It's - a real bite in the arse.

GO PACKERS ! HOLD FAITH FOR 2006 and BEYOND !!

Don't give him so much power, Buck. Even if I had read what he wrote, he cannot harm me in the least as he holds absolutely zero capacity to affect my thoughts on my team.

it's all about what any decent MAN should do given the BS he tossed at Packer fans yesterday.

It's about principle and admitting embarassment to suck it up and do a gut check as any man should.

Is he a man or a man deserving of insult?

I refuse to give him that POWER over me MJ, but he should form some need of an apology that even resembles sincerety.

I am entirely disappointed in mike Florio.it's not at all funny anymore and i have an excellent sense of humor even laugh at myself alot.

This has dick all to do with anything humorous on Mike Florio's behalf yesterday AM.

A retraction of his original post, no matter how expedient that was - has nothing to do with the need for his common sense to apologize, MJ.

From another thread..... Woody, I hesitate to "stir you up" more than you already are, but since I'm invisible.....

Message - to self:

" OUR criticisms have to be self-examined to cull out arrogance "

Could one not claim that you are being "just a bit arrogant" because you didn't find Florio's humor/speculation funny?

The caption he put on the photo says "he deserves" to be made fun of. It is a pretty deep insult to be compared to the National Enquirer, and HE DID IT TO HIMSELF. What would Lenny, or John think if you compared them to the National Enquirer. They get shit wrong too, and bash Favre in the process. Remember the shit John Clayton was spewing earlier this year? Did he apologize for that? What's the difference, Woody?

You are approaching this whole argument from the perspective of "He attacked my leader/hero. That shit's not funny, no matter who you are....". Woody - It's funny to some of us. I don't expect, nor want an apology from Florio.

Not trying to start a war, Woody. Hope you "get this" in the manner it was intended....

PFT has never harmed me either. If I felt I could be harmed by surfing the net I would wear a helmet and eye protection at my desk.

PFT makes fun of Favre because they (and quite frankly millions of other football fans) got sick and tired of the off-season "will he or won't he" soap opera. The irony is that it was the media moreso than Favre that kept the soap opera going ad nauseum (just like they are doing right now with the "emerging rift b/w TO and Parcels" ).

Yesterday they made a ridiculous and unfounded prediction, then had egg smeared all over their face in front of their cyber fans. They were embarassed and admitted they royally f*&$ed up. By posting the mock National Enquirer mag cover (that somebody else prepared to make fun of PFT) they proved they were big enough to again admit their stupid mistake and make fun of themselves for it.

In other words, they don't take themselves too seriously--I for one will follow suit.
