the problem is he's "SAID" the right things for a few years now - unfortunately some of what he said were lies. it's gonna take awhile to let that shit go.

I have trouble believing he was saying the right things with Greta.

Didn't Aaron Rodgers get cleared to play today?

For the same reasons that I hope we wait to play Aaron Rodgers until he is 100% clear health-wise, I hope to God Brett doesn't try to play "just one more" game for the Vikings. He is an old man. He suffered a concussion hitting his head against hard ground.

Don't want to see him end up like Ali (granted, his is a disease) or like punch-drunk boxer with dain bramage who suffered one too many hits to the head. I too would like to see him honored some day at Lambeau. When that will be, I don't know. But I would want him ambulatory when he receives his plaudits.

Curious, I had never considered the one day contract option. I would say had he done that after leaving the Jets, he would have received near unanimous support. After going to the Vikes, I'd say he's a shade over 50% support. Some love him. Some love to hate him. Others are just sick of him and maybe need time to overcome their apathy.

Well.....i'd like to see him retire as a Packer. It would be the right thing for him to do. He's been an ass towards the Packers lately, and i hope he grows up and realizes what he had here. The Packers gave him his chance. He may have never got to where he is had it not been for Green Bay.
But if he doesn't, it won't change me. I'm a PACKER fan for life.

Right there with you Cheesey. PACKERS fan first and foremost. Folks like Longwell who leave GB and then bash the town are "dead to me." Folks like Al Harris who choose to play in the other league (AFC) after being cut and then take out full page ads in our papers thanking the fans are canonized in our Hall of Fame and will continue to make a living selling autographs in Wisconsin sports bars and conventions long after their playing days are over.

Al Harris and Aaron Kampman took out full page ad's thanking the fans.
Brett joined the enemy, with a big smile.

---

Nuts.

If Favre decides tomorrow to make an appearance at a sports bar in Wisconsin or even five years from now it will be packed to the max capacity and a line up outside. He probably would get more people attending an event than any other Packer past or present.

I was watching one of those Around the Horn or PTIs or Rome is Burning or whatever and someone said Favre's legacy is that he was the only player that was bigger than the game. And he is. You can bash him this way and that way but at the end of the day, people still pay good money to watch and people discuss him to no end. What other athlete in the NFL could pull the stuff he's pulled and still have huge tv ratings, that many news paper articles, that many blog posts, that many people talking about him on Forums, etc? Whether good or bad, he can do whatever he wants and most people and the entire media will still talk about him. Even other players, I am still shocked at the amount of players at the end of the game go to search out Favre and talk to him. Or the number of players that talk about "what an honor it is to play against him", etc. Even with him apprently being a bad teammate, etc.

RedSoxExcel do you read what you write before hitting submit? I've seen people stretch things and branch FAR out there, but damn ...

O.J. Simpson had good ratings too, what's your point?



In a few years we'll most likely all get over every petty issues we have against Brett and laugh an giggle at the 16 years of exciting QB play he gave us.

Time will heal some of the "wounds", but some will never have the same perception of Brett they had prior to 2008. And that's a shame. As Bonita said, he should have stayed retired the first time. Hindsight is great.

I, for one am glad he came back this year and that the Packers "evened" the score to 2 - 2. I think that'll make it easier for many "bitter" fans to welcome him back.
