As the days tick down to Brett Favre's return to the Packers as part of his enshrinement into the Packers Hall of Fame, I have been reminded about the anger that some have against the former quarterback. No one will ever forget the summer of 2008, and the drama that hung like a cloud over

Me too.
Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

I was ticked off at his antics for awhile, but I have softened greatly as time has gone by.
He DID make it fun to be a Packer fan again, and he did a lot to help get the franchise back to respectability.
So let the bad stuff go, and enjoy and relive all the fun that it was having him as "our" QB for all those years.

After all, what good comes from allowing the bad control it?
And remember.......if he hadn't gone to the Vikings, we wouldn't have had the fun of watching him throw the INT that ended their chance at a possible Super Bowl for the Vikings!😝

So let the party begin!

He did all that shit on purpose, to get back at Ted for having drafted Aaron.

Fuck Bert.

Put yourself in Bret Favre's place as well as the Packers. Favre was being pressured by Ted Thompson to retire. He was not sure at that point that he had more left in the tank. Both sides behaved badly. Favre went and played for other teams and Aaron Rodgers emerged as as Star too.

Perhaps it is time to bury the feud and celebrate the good that Favre and the Packers achieved. Carrying a grudge only keeps stirring up the pot. What happened, happened. Dredging it up just prolongs the feud.

The past is the past, forgetting the past may not be possible, but moving past the negativity and moving on can be the best for all concerned.

As I have always believed, both Brett and the team did and acted in what was in their best interest. And both could have handled the situation better.

Just imagine the different view we would have of Reggie, if he had began his career and left to go to Philly and wound up willing a SB. Edgar Bennett, left and went to play for Chicago and today we are happy he is our new OC.
The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

Bert's ego was out of control, and he felt it was his place to dictate to Ted who to draft and to Mike what plays to call. He thought he should be able to tell Ted to trade for Randy Moss and Ted should just jump right to it.

Not only did Ted NOT trade for Randy Moss, but he also drafted Bert's replacement. Then he shit canned Mike Sherman, who WAS willing to take orders from Bert and hired Mike, not only to reign Bert in but to get Aaron up to speed to replace Bert.

Bert planned that whole retiring/unretiring thing from the beginning, just to try to split the team. He thought there were enough players still loyal to him to make it work. Fans too. It did not. THE TRAIN IS LEAVING THE STATION, BITCHES.

NEVER FORGET: Bert called every team we played that year and gave them our playbook and what he thought Mike was gonna do against them.

And by the way, if you don't think Bert was throwing those INTs in the playoffs on purpose then you've probably never seen this:





And you've probably never heard of Jenn Sterger , who was surely just the tip of the iceberg as far as Bert's blackmailability is concerned.

I'd rather have Pete Rose on my team.

You REALLY believe Bert played the best football of his life for an entire year, then "accidentally" did this at the end?

Favre didn't do it to be a dick even if the drama was hella annoying and it was horrible to see him in purple. He's given more to the Packers than he could have taken away from 20 years with the vikings.

Also, what nerdmann said above. That play alone made it all up to me.

No matter any of the crap that went down afterwards it was Brett who made me a Canadian without a NFL team a Packer fan. For that I owe him my respect. I would not be here on this site without him and I like it here.

wpr (12h) : Only 4
Zero2Cool (15h) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!
dfosterf (15h) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am
wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days
beast (18-Apr) : 6 days
wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
