Here's the transcript:

Kiley: "You must say to yourself, why doesnt Brett speak to me. What could it possibly be? "

Rodgers: "I dont know. Thats a question for him. Im not going to put words in his mouth. When we lost to the Giants [in the 2007 NFC Championship], we left as friends, and I havent talked to him in a year."

Irvin: "Why will you not reach out to him?"

Rodgers: "I did."

Irvin: "So you called him and he did not call you back."

Rodgers: "Yeah."

I know some people will say "Why should he call him at all?" I don't dispute that. The fact is though that he gladly reached out to Romo with his injury and made sure the media knew about it. Why would he do that and ignore his friend for 3 years?

I also understand that Favre feels some resentment to the person who was chosen over him as Green Bay's QB. It just seems petty though to ignore Rodgers phone calls.

What do you guys think?

Favre should call Rodgers back. That's what I think.

So did Rodgers.

I don't want this to become a pissing match...but it seems like Rodgers valued their friendship and was somewhat hurt by him completely ignoring his calls.

Edit: It does seem sort of high school behavior talking about a guy ignoring calls. It just seems Rodgers did feel genuinely hurt by it. The hosts (Irvin and the other guy) seem to believe it did.

Yeah, this. I can't even begin to describe how disappointed I've become since the end of the 2007 season. I just have to treat everything that happened before then as a completely separate entity, or I will start to frown at my wall of Favre memorabilia.

While I agree that Brett did not handle much right in the whole situation since the loss to the Giants, I also think this.

I do not think Rodgers should be talking about this at all.

He needs not make Brett look like an ass on Superbowl week. Just side step the fricken question. "Guys, thanks for asking, I know it is your job, but that is all history.

I wasn't going to comment on this at all because everyone would take this as a pissing match, But i do have to say after listening to the podcast i actually feel sorry for him. Irving the ass had to bring up all the bs from the circus last year and really didn't even talk about his on the field play. Irving just looking for ratings is all i got from it. Thats as far as i will comment.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Yea, it seems like every interview he's had started with the Favre fiasco. I'm sure Rodgers is tired of it.

Zero2Cool (16-May) : From what I've read, it's all Jets , not us.

CanPackFan (16-May) : Will there ever be a time when Rodgers' whacko views will not reflect on GB? He is the past, thank god.

Zero2Cool (16-May) : Jan 4th gonna be rough with that start time lol

Zero2Cool (16-May) : Packers schedule listed. Boom.

Zero2Cool (13-May) : Sources spoke of many, many times last summer where Hackett called a play, then Rodgers changed it completely at the line

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : because he's 1st

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm

Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.

beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!
