He was on the turf for a while and it was very intense. When he got up and walked off the field, 70,000 fans cheered their asses off for him. Packer fans are classy fans. Packer fans are football fans.

You're comparing those two events? Apples and oranges my friend. And thanks for turning it back around and trying to incite yet another Favre flamefest.

Fumbling the ball 6 times is turns the needle more towards choke for me.

If the Vikings, or Bears lose in a big game its always fun, and will rub it in..

Childish? Yuppers, but as been pointed out, thats how 'some" fans react.

Ok hows this did people have a problem with Reggie asking for his release from the Packers so he could join the Panthers? NO!!!! But yet a guy that spent many years here and did alot of great things for this organization and he returns and gets boo'ed. And before someone says well he went to a divisional rival what about when Edgar Bennett went to the Bears and returned to play the Packers he was actually cheered. The new fans don't even come close to the old fans and have become really a disgrace to the old fans.

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

But to say they choked is a bit lame. A boneheaded play by one player on the final drive is not a team "choking".

Most of us aren't just talking about one play, one drive, or one player. There were some serious misfortunes throughout that game for the Vikings. Isn't that right Formo? heh.

The only relevant player in this argument is Reggie because he comes close to the kind of pedestal that Brett enjoyed and took full advantage, and he did not choose to go to the Bears or Vikings.

Edgar Bennett does not belong in the argument.

Well for what it's worth, I'm not a "boo-er". Never have been. Never will be. But I think there's a fundamental difference between booing someone who has caused as much heartache to a fanbase as Favre has, and cheering the injury of an opponent. I have seen plenty of fans cheer the injury of their opponent. Not classy. Cheering for Peterson when he came off the field under his own power. Classy. That's all I'm saying. I don't want to let another thread turn into a pissing match about Favre. I really don't want that. I'm sick of it. As for Favre, I am fine with him doing whatever he wants. Always have been. Now, if what he does is ultimately negative for the Vikings organization, all the better. Because I don't want the Vikings to win. Ever.

Same old argument and it's been heard a thousands times. What exactly are you trying to achieve DHazer? Would you like us all to admit that Packer fans are shitty low lives? Would that make you feel better?

Ok, let me put it this way.

1. One team wins the division, the other doesn't.
2. One team gets to the NFC championship game, and plays badly. The other team doesn't get to the NFC championship game.
3. One team wins both head-to-head matchups in a season. The other doesn't.

The bragging rights might be temporary. No, change that, they will be temporary. But they are what they are. They're there. Whether the loss to NO was due to one boneheaded play by Voldemort or to a team-wide meltdown really doesn't change any of that. They're still there. And they're still with the V*kings and their fans.

For a brief while longer its time to take the lumps and let the V*kings fans do the trash talking.

Be content in the knowledge that this time will pass. On October 24th.

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
Romans 12:2 (NKJV)

I'm sorry, but that just doesn't work for me. Let the Vikings do the trash talking? So us packer fans aren't supposed to talk trash? Forget that. Yes, it's very obvious they outplayed us last year. So what? I'm hoping / expecting us to play better then this year and I will talk a little friendly smack about it. I'm sure Vikings fans wouldn't like Packer fans to completely cease some trash talking and neither would I with them. It's part of the game, and part of the fun.

It's fine if you choose not to, but many us are going to have a little fun.

dfosterf (3h) : Hopefully the color scheme remains the same

dfosterf (3h) : *Friday*

dfosterf (3h) : 100 million would be 539 million as of Fridsy

dfosterf (3h) : Heck, they could have taken a hundred milliion and invested in DAVE inc. last year (semi random, humor, but real)

dfosterf (3h) : Beer brat and ticket is where the money comes from

dfosterf (4h) : The 40th is Titletown Tech itself. This is a pet project of both Ed Policy and Mark Murphy

Zero2Cool (4h) : New site coming along nicely. The editor is better than what we have here. Oh yeah!

dfosterf (4h) : No profit that I know of. 0 for 40

dfosterf (4h) : The woke reference has to do with the makeup and oftentimes objectives of the companies they invested in

packerfanoutwest (4h) : beer and brats woke? say whom?

beast (4h) : I don't want to get into politics, but how is, beers and brats considered to be "woke"? Food is food...

beast (4h) : That being said, I'm not saying all 100% should be that way, but not surprised if majority are Wisconsin based

beast (4h) : And if everyone has heard of them, then it it probably has less growth potential and less community based

dfosterf (25-Jul) : It's my one day deal complaint dept. on shareholder meeting day

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Probably a homer access credential intimidation kinda thing

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Maybe a low flying drone

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Did Savion Williams run into a goalpost or something?

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career

Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @AndyHermanNFL Jordy Nelson out at camp today. No word if he’s in play for one of the two open roster spots ; )

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?

Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Savion concussion ... not good.

packerfanoutwest (24-Jul) : Aaron Rodgers’s first pass of first team period was picked off
