[TopHat]

APPRECIATE IT, MADTOWNPACKER

......Randy Moss will be moved from Oakland according to my source, and the Packers seem like the likely detonation.......

Interesting slip of the tongue.

HAHAHAHA!!

Great job on this thread Top Hat! I can only imagine how long it would have been if Favre had taken his sweet time like last year.

TOP HAT'S: THANKS

THE [from SI] FINALE: AS IT BEGAN...

...."There will come a time when Brett Favre can no longer play. This is not that time. But at the end of [a] season...the next or the next or the next—he will step away at last, having earned the peace of an endless off-season. The cold and the snow will overtake Green Bay, and the stadium at this edge of the world will stand empty behind us, the last thing we see in the rear-view mirror as we cross that river, the light at last failing in the trees. But until that moment, Brett Favre will be throwing, in a way, for us all. Throwing hope forward, in a single clean step or with a motion as rushed and awkward as man falling out of the tub, as hurried and off-balance as the rest of us. Banking on the past while trying to read a second or two into his future, drilling clean arcs on our behalf into the weakening light and the rising odds, every stand he makes in the pocket another little long shot fired against the infinite and inevitable. Every throw a moment for hope, a defiant line, bright in the air, against chaos and diminishment and the final goodbye."

Maybe for good karma you should also hook us up with the Randy Moss to Green Bay Watch ?

Actually, that'd be a pretty good idea.

Not sure if this has been posted anywhere, and I didn't feel like making a new thread for it specifically. So i'll post it here.

I just found this on youtube, pretty poor quality, but reliving some of the good memories was really nice.

Enjoy.

That piece of writing put tears in my eyes. Very nice.

THANKS, BUT BEING DONE...DIFFERENT IDEAS.

TOP HAT: THREE POINTS:

1. Motife already has a strong thread going about it, "Chris Mortensen: GB source confirms Favre wants Moss."

2. I am concerned about a strong FAs watch and a '07 Draft watch.

3. Remember what NBC's Chris C. said during the final game in Chicago about Favre coming back and the offseason moves necessary to be a competitive top tier team in '07, i.e. "IF THEY ARE SERIOUS ABOUT WINNING...."

That youtube video was very nice to see. It truly showed that we do have promise for this year.


There was one real consistency in the whole thing: Favre was a play maker.

Wow, he looked like he was young all over again and against the bears, when it shows the slow motion replay of one of brett's roll out pass's, it just makes you go WOW. It really reminds you that brett is one of a kind and NO ONE will ever be able to do what he does.

Just fuels me even more for all those Favre vs. Manning Debates. I am sorry, but Favre is truly a great. I am so excited to watch him another year!

Their frail deeds might be forever glorious in a green bay across the Fox,

Rage, rally, and reunite against the fading of the green and gold light....
