I will for sure get a Favre Bucineers Jersey. :thumbsup

The PAckers don't need him to win, thats what so many people don't understand. He has been holding that franchise hostage for too long.

He will go down as one of the greatest if not the greatest in my book regardless.

Its just a shame he had to act like such a child.

it took me awhile but this whole situation made me realize that i am more of a favre fan then a packer fan. i still like the packers but i will follow favre regardless of packer or not. i don't feel either side handled the situation well, more of the downfall coming from the packers side. even playing on a semi-pro level i have seen the politics within a sports franchise. it's worse then real politics. i'm sure they did/said alot of things the public will never hear about. i will be glad when it is all final so everyone can move on.

I'll definitely get a Favre jersey...I mean, he was a blast to watch, and exponentially increased my enjoyment watching the pack over the years. I wouldn't root for the bucs over the pac ever though, lol.

I'm going to try to get tickets to that game this year....

for a those that think the packers are wrong in how they handled this issue heres a kleenex to wipe favres shit off your noses......the guy said in march that he was going to retire. then the packers went out and drafted 2 more QB's to get some depth. then favre decides he wants to come back after it was very clear that the job was rodgers. if favre would have just said im coming back the packers could have A) done a lot better in the draft and B) not get rodgers hopes up.......so im glad they're gonna trade him bc i think, like some one said, that they can win plenty of games w/o favre.

08-06-2008, 02:03 PM
theres always a what if, and they handled it wrong. the worst thing they could do is trade him

and they wont win very many game with rodgers. poor kids gonna get hurt. i beleive hes doin the right thing and keeping everything to himself but id be pissed if they kept questioning me. rodgers is a good guy but hes gonna get hurt. hes got 30 season snaps total. he needs more expierience is all. but i guess you gotta start somewhere

08-06-2008, 02:39 PM
if you look at it though....the packers used either the 5th or 15th pick on rodgers, can't remember...don't you think they should get something out of a top 20 pick????bc i know his contract is up either this year or next and if i was him and favre came back i sure as hell wouldn't sign with the packers......he didn't really ever get hurt in college and when he got hurt in the NFL didn't a OL step on him or something??

Z06 KID
08-06-2008, 02:43 PM
i dont remember much about the draft but i just dont agree with this whole thing. if favre gets traded it will be one of the biggest mistakes the packers, or should i say ted thompson has ever made. hes brought them back from nothing and now there gonna let him do that with another team and put rodgers in. idk im sure rodgers will do fine but hes gonna get hurt. im just sick of hearing about all of this. if he was so sure he wanted to come back, why is everyone still contemplating what he should do. its just getting old and hes lost a lot of his fans. and he blames his fans for him retiring. its all B.S. this whole topic is just so argumental. everyone has there own opinion and thats how its always gonna be so.

I still think Green Bay should hang on to him and let him ride the bench until he is needed. Warming the bench would be perfect for him, bring his feet back on the ground.

^^^that's a waste of $$ to me.....i think they should be able to get something decent for him.....maybe thomas jones from the jets, or cadillac williams from the bucs

Too bad we can't trade him to the Bucs and then they trade him to the Vikings, just so Favre can shove it up Ted Thompsons arrogant ass twice a year.

Okay I missed the whole comment how the Packers don't need Favre to win. LMAO. Who carried them the first half of last season when they had no running game? Favre was throwing 40-50 times game, and the other team knew they could not run. And in the playoff game they lost, where was that great running game?

This team has not 1 player in the top 5 at any position. Their 2 CB's looked older the Favre in the playoffs. They have a pretty tough schedule and they won't get all the breaks they did last year, like playing teams at the right time, and having no injuries.

I think even with Favre they don't win more then 9 games. Without him I doubt they see 6, especially since Brohm will be starting before October ends.

The fact is the Packers should have just released him and avoided all this drama. If they didn't want him, then let him go play somewhere else. I get the feeling that sportsfans in this state get way too butthurt over their players. They ***** about Favre being a baby, but then they don't even see the other side of it. Had Favre been busted for drugs and suspended for the year fans would have kissed his ass when he came back. But since he made a bad decision to retire everyone get's butthurt cause he wants to play again and realizes that the Packers have moved on. That's pretty ridiculous. It's not a big deal if a player plays for another team. It's not a big deal if someone unretires. Happens all the time in sports and in real life. The Packers are the ones stretching this out so much.

the packers are still my favorite team but i feel they will obviously be a lesser team without him. as stated in alot of previous posts rodgers has not shown any sort of durability. he pulled hi shamstring riding the pine. seriously. just dealing with football on a semi-pro level, which i can speak from experience, i had to pay my league to play and you should have seen what the teams did to their players or for themselves. i can only imagine the lengths gone to when the players are getting paid. favre dealt with it the way he felt was best, could he have handled some stuff differently, yes but i still feel he handled it decently and i know there are some underlying circumstances that the public will never know about or won't come out for a long long time. you can't put it any simpler then "hey i changed my mind i wanna play again, if you want me to play for you great if not please let me play somewhere else."

Here, I made the comments that I made cuase' of this simple statement from Z06Kid "Quote" I Blame ted thompson"

Anyone who thinks that is the sole reson for this and its all cause' of him and the franchise as a whole they are braindead for thinking that.

He had just as much to do with it if not more.

Also read the previous posts, I do like Favre but I along with many of other people are sick and tired of this drama and want it over.

All done now. :thumbsup

A) done a lot better in the draft

This is untrue. Ted Thompson and McCarthy said that they did not draft QB's as a result of Favre retiring. They ALWAYS take what they believe to be the best talent in the draft, no matter what position they happen to play. They have been drafting like this for years.

As I have stated 1000x before, almost ever great athlete has played for more than 1 team. Joe Montana took the Kansas City Chiefs to the AFC championship game after leaving the 49ers, Jordan got the Wizards to the playoffs, Jerry Rice played for several years after leaving the 49ers.

What I don't understand, and would like to hear an answer to is this. Mr Thompson, in every pole that I have seen, the FANS have picked Favre 2 to 1 over Rodgers as to who they would like to see start as QB for the Packers this year. Why are the fans not getting what they want here? Do you honestly believe that Rodgers gives them a better chance to win that Favre? Please.

They needed to draft a QB regardless of Favre. They only had Rodgers as a backup. And as stated many times, he can't stay healthy even backing up. Plus like Caddy said, "best player available" is Thompson's motto. He repeated that constantly when he drafted Rodgers, when a QB was one of the last things the Packers needed that year.

This whole situation became personal. Which is something to blame Favre for. Sports is a business, and not personal. But he is an emotional guy and let it get to him. And I'm willing to bet that Thompson said something to him a couple years ago that has been festering with Favre since then. Add in the other lies Thompson has told him, and whatever bridge that was there got burned to the ground.

McCarthy isn't much different. Take his press conference yesterday. Where he says his version of the truth and Favres are very different. Then he goes and says he has no idea what Thompson and Favre discussed yesterday, despite the fact that the press conference was an hour late cause McCarthy was being briefed by Thompson. Sounds like a lie to me.

Add in the ridiculous offer by the Packers to buy Favre off. How crazy is that? That sounds like a bribe. Something the mafia would do, not an outstanding professional sports organization. That move there was the final straw for me. It was designed purely to make Favre look like the bad guy, cause if he took the money then the Packers could say it was all about the money, not a desire to play. The Packers have done everything they can, including now hire the ex White House correspondent Ari Fliescher to try and spin this situation.

GOOD BYE! Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

I was a huge Favre fan but when he acts like a baby like this then please leave. Is he going to do this with the Bucs every year when he decides to retire every year but then come back?

I don't know all the facts or who is telling the truth on what happened and neither do you guys. I'm from Wisconsin and will continue to be a Packer fan. BUT, I will also keep tabs on Brett because he gave me alot of good years as a fan and I give the guy credit for being able to play in the league at a high level at his age.

WHAT??????

i haven't heard anything about this. i thought he was retired?







personally it will be tough to see him in a different jersey, but i would rather see him in a bucs jersey than a packers jersey this next season. he is a grown adult for christ's sake, he should act like one. weeping and sobbing, and talking through reporters and family members, he is acting like a high schooler. i am not saying that thompson has done it totally right, but unfortunatly thompson is the boss, he CAN do what he wants. favre was an employee of the team, it seems that he forgot that. just my .02.

Yaaa now that the evil Brett is gone we can go back to the glory days of the 70's and 80's. :goof
I'll be surprised if they win more than 4 games this year, probably more like 2. Thompson's a d-bag. Choosing a guy that gets hurt putting on his pants and can't get of 50% of the passes complete in a scrimmage against your own 2nd string defense, over a hall of fameQB that has started everygame is stupid. Rodgers won't make it out of October, probably not even out of pre season.
