I don't know I still hate Edgar Bennett for leaving the Packers and going to the Bears, what a trader. I will never forgive him for that.

What I don't understand is why so many people are butt hurt that Favre went to the Vikings? After all those same people were calling for him to retire because he didn't have it anymore. Yes I understand he wiggled his way around the huge stipulation that Ted Thompson put out there to prevent him from coming back to play the Packers. Ted Thompson was just as dirty in this as was Favre. As was stated so many times, why not just release Favre and let him decide his fate, but no Ted Thompson had to try and have the last word by trading him. But in the end Favre got his way and went to his best chance at going to another Super Bowl (only if he would have just thrown the ball away or just got on the ground). I have no hard feelings towards him and I am grateful he helped build back the Packer name.
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Not so with Edgar Bennett.

By this logic, Ted Thompson should just release the players he doesn't want instead of seeking out a trade. Why didn't he just release Javon Walker? What about Corey Williams? In fact, we should just cut James Jones. Let him decide his fate.

The internal conflict must be excruciating.

No wonder he is moodier than a 15 year old with her period.

I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming in terror like his passengers.
