Seems like a lot of "behind the grassy knoll!" stuff. If you look for negatives, you WILL find them.

My perspective is that Favre obviously loves Green Bay, Lambeau field, all his old teammates, and the time he had as a Packer. But I do think he still holds a grudge against some combination of Ted Thompson, Mike McCarthy, Mark Murphy, Aaron Rodgers, or anything else somewhat involved in the situation. That's just conjecture, but as I said, there's some indication there.

Based on the past, it's much more likely that it would be true than not.

I don't doubt that there are still some hurt feelings. But why concentrate so much on what are only what we might think and yet don't have any idea if it's true?
It was a special night, why concentrate on negatives that we don't even know if they have any truth to them?
I guess I'm blind to all the "hidden meanings".
I just enjoyed the reunion.

Hate him for his myriad other mistakes but this weekend he was fine.

As it has for many years, it baffles me anyone thinks Brett dislikes Aaron or that he ever did . But, maybe those who were less than happy that Brett didn't mention Aaron while at his Packer Hall of Fame induction and at his Jersey retirement ceremony will be pleased to read these few tweeters. 😁

I personally don't "hate" him. The only NFL players I hate are the likes of Michael Vick and other players who abuse animals, women, or commit horrible crimes. A dick-pic is a dick pic. Many of us have done something similar. And was that ever actually definitively proved that was Favre, anyway? The NFL drama is what it is, but it's not something I'll hang on to forever. I've wanted Favre and the Packers to make-up for months now. I think it's good for everyone involved. But none of that changes the ultimate point which is there is still likely some animosity there. That may not mean anything, but it is what it is.

I haven't necessarily "forgiven" Favre, but I've moved on. It's just not important enough for me to care very much, even though Favre was the main reason I became a Packers fan from North Carolina. That and they have the same colors as the schools I went to and played for. But I'll never be a huge fan of his like I was before. That's OK, though, we now have Aaron Rodgers! 🙂

So many so called "reports" that Favre and Rodgers don't get along......yet there is no PROOF of that.
Yes, I'm SURE there was tension when both were still here. That's normal. A guy comes in that you are pretty sure is going to take your job, that's a hard thing to accpept.
The Packers were getting the yearly "Will he, won't he" retire stuff. (I was watching the Monday niight game in Oakland the day after Favre's Dad died, which was in 2003, and they were talking about Favre talking about retireing) So finally, the Packers felt it was time to move on, or chance losing Rodgers. Turns out they made a good choice. Favre did have a couple decent seasons left when he left here, but he was for sure nearing the end. GB had to prepare for the future, and Rodgers was the guy they wanted to do it.

I'm never going to forget about the repeated retirement drama, narcissism, and off-the-field issues but my blood pressure no longer rises thinking about it. Saturday wasn't celebrating his angelic traits, it was recognizing the good he did on the field for the team which can't be denied.

The point above was that it's not just about the recent conspiracy items (purple shirt, not much love for current organization, etc. etc.) but also all of the things that happened in the past. The conspiracy items alone aren't much, but when cumulatively added to everything that happened in the past, it does leave some doubt for many. Maybe an easier way to say it is that Favre likely shouldn't get much benefit of the doubt in these situations. At least not yet. I think he still need to show the current organization some things. The same applies for Ted Thompson, Mike McCarthy, et al. If everyone has truly moved on, make that abundantly clear so we can all forget about it entirely.
