Favre: What's With the Bashing? Some Sound Like Sad Exes....

[SnakeLH2006]

Stated it more than once...Packers are out the playoffs, so it's time to root for some Brett. There are few players (Jordan, Montana) Snake has admired in his short life, but Favre is definitely one of them. Guy is pure adrenaline and amazing to watch (IMO).

I'm sorry to see so many bag on 007 over it, lately, as I agree with her, Favre is a once of a lifetime to see/watch and is still fun to watch now that the Pack is out the playoffs.

Go Brett, I'd love to see him keep up his amazing season at 40 and win another SuperBowl. I never get tired of seeing that guy play...and fucking amazing he's one of the top 5 players in the league at 40. Get over the bitterness folks, he's gone, we have a great young QB (Arod)....so just enjoy the legend that is Favre. He's great, and fun to watch. I hate Peyton, so I hope he gets his 2nd ring over that guy (and will be a fun SB to watch).

Really, it sounds like a bad breakup..but I'm sure most of you Rats have had a good relationship (Favre) turn sour. You were bitter (maybe), and met someone else great (Arod). Did you keep hating your ex? I hope not, so let it go. We are happy (Arod), and he's happy (Favre). I don't get the whole hatred/severe bitterness. Favre didn't make us lose against the Cards....and I don't advocate you have to cheer him on, but quit the hate for those us that enjoy seeing him play, yet.

We are never going to see another player in sports for a long time as fun, charismatic, and engaging, and as good as Brett has been as an NFL QB for a long time. I don't look at him as a traitor, but as a dude that wanted to prove himself and did in spades (as he was traded) to a shithole team, and now has a chance to redeem himself. He's demonstrated that he's still MVP worthy at 40 at the toughest position in all of sports. I respect the hell out of that.

Hate 007/Snake, etc. but quit hating on the fact that the dude is legitimately one of the best athletes of ANY sport all-time. He's amazing and electrifying to watch. You never know what you are gonna get, and blew away what I (a Brett fan) thought was possible at 40 in 2010. I give him props. He's still an MVP (best season he EVER had at 40) and might play till he's 50. Tough SOB for sure and Snake's favorite player EVER by far. I can't get enough Favre....and hope he plays for several more years. Just stop being so bitter. Damn, it gets tiresome.

The dude (Favre) has fun in that recent "Pants Down" video and that's what it's all about. His teammates like him (I like him), he wins, puts up crazy stats, and is must see TV. What else is there to say? For those bitching, get over it. You had your chance whining he was done 5 years ago to get rid of him, now that he's elite (MVP worthy) for a rival, you rear your ugly heads. Stuff it. Dude is a legend, deal with his awesome sauce. Stay true or stuff it. I bet most of ya haters love the shit out his HOF induction whenever he retires. Regardless, it makes me sick that so many hate on him as a Vike/retirement, but hung on his every move as a Packer. Give it up. The dude is great, still elite (top 5 player) and fun as hell to watch.

Quit the fucking bitching/bashing and enjoy history in progress. You won't see another QB of his stature/winning ability/physical prowess again anytime soon. Rare breed indeed. Amazing player that wills teams to win and is SO fun to watch....Peyton is great (for ex.) but has no charisma (could care less about the guy). Favre = winning (maybe not playoffs/SB's overall) but you always get the opportunity to win. I'm sure some jackass will try and pick apart/statify the wins, but that's what is it about. His team's believe in him (and that makes him an MVP any year he laces it up). He's this side of Michael Jordan for leadership on any sport team. That shit is uncoachable. That is why Snake is a Favre fan. You always believe you have a chance to win. Well, the Vikes have that now.

Go Brett...Go Brett. Get that 2nd ring.

So what's the problem? Sounds like you guys that hate on Brett lately, are all salty he's doing it with a rival? So what? The Pack (TT) didn't want him and moved on? We did well with Arod, so get over it. Quit acting all bitchy about it. Makes you look like that emotional wreck of an ex that can't get over the best guy they had finding someone else. Who cares what she says (Favre in this scenario)? Move on and enjoy life. I've had exes move on and didn't hold it against them...esp. when I was the one doing the break up. Sounds like some of ya have some bitter shit craving your ex. Sad. Get over it. Not saying you have to enjoy seeing your ex doing well, but if you have a good relationship (ARod) why hate on the former? Get over it and move on.

Snake, it's never ever ever ever ever EVER time to root for the Vikings. It's not about Brett specifically, but as long as he continues to try to hand our Vince Lombardi Trophy to the purple devils to the west he'll continue to earn my hatred. Fuck Favre. Fuck the Vikings. Fuck'em all.

Don't make it personal and it won't bother you so much. It's about the team he plays for, first and foremost. I think most of us could have gotten over the messy divorce and our hatred of that, but he's a Viking now and in the end EVERY SINGLE VIKING gets shat on by this Packer fan. If they didn't want me to hate on them they wouldn't be Vikings. But that brings us to the absolute BIGGEST point of all - they don't care whether we hate them or not. It doesn't matter to them. Why does it matter to you?

LOL. You missed the whole point, Gun. I don't mind fans of teams at all. I know many Bears fans, a few Vikes fans and respect their views. I could care less what peeps think about teams (I hate the Vikes).

This has nothing to do with hating the Vikes. This was about the Favre haters that hate on him for nothing other than hatred, jealousy, misguided BS as a some sort of traitor when he was the one booted, and now rises like a Phoenix from the ashes and peeps/some Rats like to call out those that like Brett as some sort of cancerous beyotch. That makes me sick. Favre would have to go all OJ (and stab some hot blonde chick to death) for me to hate on his player-ability. I don't cheer the Vikes at all, but totally cheer Favre the player.

I don't care who fans root for, for their teams. My problem is when some fans/Rats hate on a certain player or fellow fans/Rats for liking a player regardless of team (in this case, Brett). I hate Cutler, but, I don't hate my Bear buddies or discredit them for it, though. This happens on here all the time with the Favre stuff.

My point was some grew up loving/liking Brett, and still love him as a player, and get grief for it. Snake is a big guy, but makes me sick to my stomache how some take so much grief for it around here. I could see not liking Brett for his Vike shit, but to wish ill will/talk shit on his accomplished legacy as if he was nothing is how it goes at late around here. Dude is a beast. Hate the team, not the player. It wasn't his call, or ours to root on him as fans of him as a player. It has nothing to do with the Vikes. I respect the shit out of Favre the player and love watching him play. I never said I'd root for the Vikes to win the SB, just Favre. Big difference. I could give a shit about their team as they back to 4-12 when he retires. I'd just like to see him win a SB as the player.

You totally missed the point though.

[Tony Oday]

no reason to give grief to someone who likes him but personally I hope he throws 5 ints and loses by a landslide. He is the one that manuvered to get booted from this team and it looks like it worked out well for everyone.

[Tyrone Bigguns]

We have a Bert thread for a reason.

[Gunakor]

Snake, read my post from a couple days ago.

We can hate Favre all we want for whatever we want. Why does it matter to you? I hate Favre because he's a Viking. I hate Favre because he said and did some things that were in conflict with what the team I support was trying to accomplish. His legacy as a Packer is toast as far as I'm concerned, at least until he takes off that ugly purple shirt he's been wearing on the weekends. There is no getting past that.

I don't have any problem with those that support individual players. What I have a problem with is fans of individual players trying to tell me I'm wrong for hating those individual players. That smacks of arrogance.

I say again, hate Favre all you want. Support him all you want. But don't EVER tell someone they're wrong for feeling the way they feel. I'm not wrong for hating Favre. You're not wrong for supporting him. You ARE wrong for telling me or anyone else they can't hate on him for whatever reason they want. As long as I'm not disrespecting you or your mother I'm allowed to hate all I want, for any reason at all. That's the point I was making.

Your thread is titled "What's with all the Favre bashing". My point, made crystal clear, is that Favre bashing is more than allowed. There's nothing wrong with it at all. Not at all. Unless of course the opposite were also true, that Favre supporting were also not allowed. Bashing 007 or any other poster here for their views would be completely out of line, but that's not what I'm seeing. What I'm seeing are attacks on Favre, and that's more than allowed. We don't have to contain our hatred of Favre any more than you are allowed to contain your support of him. We don't have to feel the same way you do about this. Stop stirring shit up dude.

What's with all the Favre bashing? Who cares, it doesn't matter anyway.

[SnakeLH2006]

That's fine, but seeing certain posters get shit for supporting Brett makes me angry. State your points, but don't make them personal. Seen too much of that lately. Not everyone has to like everyone or the players. Agreed. Keep it off limits to not rip on certain peeps that like certain players and it's a-ok. That's what I was sick of seeing.

But that's not what you were saying earlier.

That sounds like you ripping on Rats for hating on Favre, not for disrespecting other Rats. As does the title of this thread

You totally missed the point though.

You're right, I'm completely confused.

[denverYooper]

Sweet! Another Favre thread.

[Gunakor]

This ain't a Favre thread, it's a Packerrats thread. The thread is about US, not Favre.

[denverYooper]

I think it's pretty obvious what's going on here.

[Gunakor]

I think it's pretty obvious what's going on here.

As do I.

This was about the Favre haters

That sounds like you ripping on Rats for hating on Favre

Keep it off limits to not rip on certain peeps that like certain players and it's a-ok.

You don't have anything worthwhile to add to the discussion we're actually having, kindly stay out of it please. This ain't a Favre thread.

[mission]

Why is this the only Packer forum on the net that still has this bullshit going on ??

Packersnews.net and packerchatters has no mobbs, 007s, snakes, etc

[Gunakor]

There was nothing wrong with this thread until a couple posters decided to come in and ruin our discussion. Thanks guys.

[Joemailman]

You don't have anything worthwhile to add to the discussion we're actually having, kindly stay out of it please. This ain't a Favre thread.

If it's not a Favre thread (despite the fact that the first word in the title of the thread is Favre), shouldn't this thread be in the Romper Room?
