If Brett has an issue with anyone, it is not Ted Thompson, but Mike McCarthy. McCarthy is the one who made the final decision to "move on" after Brett retired. Ted is just the one who is taking all the shots because he's the top dog. Did you hear what Favre said about McCarthy on his Green & Gold interview about a week or two ago? It sums it up quite nicely and the fact that Ted would send congratulatory texts to Brett after accomplishments, including beating the Packers two times.

I don't think Ted Thompson has any issues with Favre though. He's long ago moved beyond all of that.

Brett famously said the backup QB's have a position coach and it wasn't his job to be a mentor. The interesting (to me) part is while he didn't wanna be QB Coach, he sure wanted to play defacto GM, lol.

McCarthy choosing to go with a different QB than him, that's something I don't think Brett will let go of any time soon.

Favre and his cadre have shown that they hold animosity toward Ted .

I look at it as Ray Rhodes started letting Bert run the team. But what really hurt things was the demise of Bert's dad, a former football coach himself.

After Big Irv passed on, Bert had no one to keep him real and keep his feet on the ground. All he had left was his wife and his agent, whispering in his ear about how great he was.

Call me a hater or whatever you like, but my emotions yesterday were very mixed. Time can heal some wounds and everything that is happening with him now was inevitable, but I'm not going to sit here and blindly cheer him like he did actually retire after 2007 and just gloss over everything he did afterward like it didn't matter. I cheered against him each of those 4 games he played against the Packers. I cheered against him in the in the '09 NFCCG when he threw that almost inevitable playoff killing INT and eventual FG that sent the Saints to the Super Bowl and the Vikings to another heart crushing playoff loss. I also felt a small sense of vindication as I watched Aaron hoist that SB trophy in 2010 knowing Minnesota had missed the playoffs, all the haters and Packer "fans" who jumped on Favre's bandwagon back the previous years and cheered for him while in New York or Minnesota and rooted against GB, who spit nothing but vitriol and hatred towards TT, MM, and Aaron for sending their lord and savior packing were proven once and for all wrong. That was a bit of poetic justice to me.

If Aaron Rodgers ends up in Minnesota I'll cheer against him too. I was at that last game in Lambeau and I have nothing to compare it to but I think you can safely say there was a bit more cheering against going on on that last drive because it was Favre but for a lot of fans it was simply because it was the vikings. I don't adjust my level of cheering againstness based on the player. They all get the same. Maximum cheering againstness

I know a lot of fans can say that but I can honestly say It did not make one bit of difference to me who that guy was. After each failed play my cheering was because the vikings failed and not because Brett Favre failed.

beast (20-Nov) : Jets have been pretty good at picking DL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He landed good players thanks to high draft slot. He isn't good.

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He can shove his knowledge up his ass. He knows nothing.

beast (20-Nov) : More knowledge, just like bring in the Jets head coach

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : What? Why? Huh?

beast (19-Nov) : I wonder if the Packers might to try to bring Douglas in through Milt Hendrickson/Ravens connections

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : The Jets fired Joe Douglas, per sources

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Jets are a mess......

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Pretty sure Jets fired their scouting staff and just pluck former Packers.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Jets sign Anders Carlson to their 53.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : When you cycle the weeks, the total over remains for season. But you get your W/L for that selected week. Confusing.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the total and percentage are the same as the previous weeks

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the totals are accurate..nrvrtmind

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : I don't follow what you are saying. The totals are not the same as last week.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Offense gets his ass in gear, this could be good.

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : The rest of the NFL is catching up to Packers ... kicking is an issue throughout league

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Packers vs Lions game doesn't seem so bad.

beast (18-Nov) : Dennis Green "They are what we thought they were, and we let them off the hook!"

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : comment of the day Z2Cool "Bears better than we want to admit. Packers worse than we think. It's facts."

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Bears get OL fixed amd we might have a problem

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Pretty sure they already have scouting reports on guys who aren't even starting for their college team. The future is now for me.

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : I tend to let Gute and Co. Worry about the future.

beast (17-Nov) : That's great news and Packers need to keep upgrading their OL, DL and DBs this off-season, so missing one guy doesn't kill them

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Jaire and Evans Williams are both ACTIVE! Good news.

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : The badgers really need to change the whole offensive scheme. No draws no screens plus the quarterback is marginal

Cheesey (17-Nov) : If the Badgers had a decent QB, they would have won. The guy can't hit a wide open receiver

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : chop block

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : there was a very questionable job Block call that upon viewing replay was very borderline

beast (17-Nov) : How so? (I didn't watch)
