The Prodigal Son Returns Home

[woodbuck27]

If I had a $14,000,000 per year to play poker I wouldn't quit after a tough loss. Come to think of it, neither did BF (quit after a tough loss).

Then add another 40% due to advertising endorsements. It certainly was incentive enough to play Vs retire.

OK Im gonna take my shot vs P-Money here.

I think Legand of the Tank meant from a national attention perspective. Obviously all the Harlan stuff is totally correct but to deny that Favre was not a media darling and drew huge attention to the Packers would be a lie. This comes from someone who became a fan in the early 90s due to that attention. Plus we have the same logo.

He knocked the shit out of him.

I guess I am not old enough to remember that hit, but I do remember the hit on Montana from Marshall in the NFC championship game that knocked Montana out for year.

I don't deny the effect Favre had; but in many ways it was continuing and building on attention that was first started by Don Majkowski. People forget what a media darling the Majik Man was, and that the play fostering the slogans to wit: "After review, the ruling on the field is......THE BEARS STILL SUCK" was a Don Majkowski play, not a Brett Favre play.

As one of the writers wrote before Majkowski's induction into the Packer HOF, Majkowski was Brett Favre before Brett Favre. Majkowski ran and passed the Packers onto the sports reports. He made people think about the Packers again. He couldn't keep it going due to injuries. Majkowski had made the Packers relevant, Favre made them a consistent contender.

Ahhh, Majik and the Miracles.

[MadtownPacker]

From everything I have read it does sound like Majkowski could have been the next big thing. But I'm talking about national relevance so I would have to say the Favre led Packers making the playoffs in 1993 had far more more impact outside of WI.

[mraynrand]

Ahhh, Majik and the Miracles.

How pathetically sad was it when the prodigal son Majik returned with the Loins to battle the Favre-led dominating Packers in 1996? Very sad. No fatted calf killed, no steak, no burger, no nothing.

I don't wanna jinx anything but see first page of Packer-Viking game day thread.

Who said I hate Favre, (assuming that his who you mean by the G.O.A.T)? I just happen to believe (all kidding aside) that Montana was a better QB.

Beside, no one "single- handily" turned around the Packer franchise. If I were to try to identify one person, it would be Bob Harlan, who had the good sense to: put football people in control of the football operation; hire Ron Wolf and let him do his thing; bring all home games to GB, and make it work with an irate Milwaukee fan base; preserve the long term needs of the franchise with the stadium renovation; recognize that he had put Mike Sherman in over his head; find Ted Thompson to usher in a new era of competitiveness; realize a mistake was brewing with John Jones' planned take over and find a capable replacement for himself in Mark Murphy. Lots of tough decisions, and the courage to admit mistakes and correct them. He fixed the problems of the past, built a solid present and established a foundation for the future.

Favre? White? Any of the players? All they did was play football.

The NFL is still a qb-driven league. Without a good/great qb, you're team isn't going to win many games. The G.O.A.T was, well, great.

You think Phil Simms is the Greatest of All Time?

any conversation like this that does not mention Rick Mirer is invalid

Majik? Majik!

Didn't he fumble a lot? I remember in elementary school someone would fumble the ball during recess and everyone would be calling the kid who fumbled the ball "Majik."

Majik did have a nice mullet, though. Other than that, he was a pretty average qb.

Don't wish injuries to anyone but 9-20-92 was the date I became a die-hard Pack fan.
