What is bigger, Brett Favre or the Green Bay Packers

[b bulldog]

Very stupid thread I will admit but some in here seem to think Favre is the Packers. Damage control is already being spun by both parties, both will be here in 07 and one will be gone by the start of the 08 season or possibly both.

TT or the packers?

This is NOT a stupid thread, cause it's a very serious question someone needs to ask. I've had this conversation with many friends, and the fact is, many people have made Brett Favre bigger than the Green Bay Packers. He is not, and never will be. And I'm sorry, but if it takes trading him, then so be it. He's a person, not a god. I heard one post game on WTMJ last year after Favre played HORRIBLE, and there were people calling in telling the guys on WTMJ to stop picking on Brett...BULLSHIT.

Turn the questu=ion around. Who's bigger- the Packers or TT's ego. He thinks he is smarter than anyone else in the league when he's really being laughed at.

he "runs" the team...he should think he's smarter than anyone else. TT should have an ego, and he should be cold hearted...Brett Favre nees to shut his mouth and be a player.

If at your job, your boss is doing things to make the business less successful, would you speak up or be a good soldier and follow the rest of the lemmings off the cliff? BF is merely saying out loud what many of us think. As the one who is putting his body and health on the line, I believe he has that right. Particularly when he is right!

as far as i'm concerned, if my job isn't in jeopardy, and i'm still doing my job, and still making money...i shut my mouth and do my job, so I can keep a job. But in the real world, not in the NFL, it's not always as easy to find another job if you get fired for opening your mouth.

If its your boss, then his responsibility is to listen and move on. You do not get to veto his moves because you disagree.

And I am still on board that T2 is better at GM than Favre is.

Here's the deal: When J walk complained about his deal Favrah told him he signed it and to honor it. When brett signed his deal was their special provisions and timetables associated with it?? And before one person says its not the same thing I say watch Denny Green's postgame where he says that one word twice- I love Brett and what he has done but he needed to do something like this a couple of years ago- R Moss wouldn't have made that much diff this year- we aren't going to the big dance unless these young guys suddenly play lights out- this whole thing sends the wrong message to the rest of the team-this could end up being worse in the locker room than most realize.

I'm not talking Favre here, just me at my job..if I think my boss is making a big mistake I 100% would tell her....in private. I NEVER would publicly blast her. That would be a) stupid and unfair b) political suicide.

Rastak, political suicide? You aren't a Prosecutor in the Minneapolis US Attorney office are you?

LOL.....as in office politics and keeping my job!

Ras, I agree with you. Keep all the junk inside the house.

Though not totally a similar situation, look at Philly. Reid sure didn't care about what the polls would say in drafting Houston's Kevin Kolb. Reid came out and said I'm going to do what's best for this team.

I understand Brett wanting to win. But to go ahead and vent to the media instead of getting it vented out with management looks kind of bush league.

I personally didn't think too highly of the picks, but we will have to see. TT will get the praise or the criticism when all is said and done on the 2007 draft/FA. If this year turns south in a hurry, it could get very ugly, very quick in Titletown.

So you bitch to your boss, but he doesn't listen and things continue to get worse. At what point, in an effort to save your own skin, do you go to your bosses boss? I think that is kind of what Bretts doing here. His boss is paddling for a waterfall and doesn't want to turn around.(Sorry about the lame analogies). Brett just wants someone to help paddle the boat back from the abyss.
