IMO there was nothing to forgive, he wanted to play football, the packers did not want him so he went to the Jets. I for one was happy he still got to play and that I could watch him. If he unretires I will be in front of my TV watching which ever team he goes to and wishing him the best.

Some people surely hold grudges why? This world is falling apart and you are holding a grudge either against the Packers or Brett Favre to me this is a very tiny unimportant thing with everything that is happening around us. People loosing their jobs, their homes worrying if they can buy food for their family. Now this is way more important dont you think?

Tripp and Cheesy, I will meet you in Canton!!! 🙂

I've never really cared for them much, but I think the Packers should publicly offer Brett Favre a one day contract for him to retire as a Packer. It's not necessary, but I think it could help mend the fences a little bit.

Ted I think has to take the charge on it because Brett won't (in my opinion).

Just don't wear that UGLY Favre "Jets" jersey!!!!
(just kidding Hedder!) :thumbleft:

GRIZZ!!!
You are just HOPING "Hillbilly Jack" will get the "Itch", and come and lead your lowly Bears!

+1. Excellent post.

Jeez. In the past five years, I've had my job sent to India. I've been laid off to cut costs. I've survived wage freezes because my company was about to go under (and let's be real - cost of living doesn't exactly freeze). I've been homeless, living with my family of three plus our dogs in a one bedroom motel. I've put my survivalist skills to use by knowing which wild plants are edible to make sure we got our proper nutrition (another example of how people who hate survivalists are IDIOTS).

Yet all this, I wouldn't trade shoes with people who are going through severe health problems like my favorite poster here is. I wouldn't trade shoes with someone who is currently out of work, like 13.5% of California right now (unemployment records are inaccurate - they don't include the folks who have been out of work for 6+ months. What you really want to look at are out of work records). I wouldn't trade shoes with my wife's friend's husband who just got shipped to Iraq AGAIN.

The economy is in the tank, folks. This is reality. I personally know A LOT of folks who are in foreclosure process, and I wouldn't want to trade shoes with them either.

Hating a man who helped bring our beloved Packers to two SBs, winning one, when for 20+ years we SUCKED before he came onto the team (and that was all I knew becoming a Packers fan in '76) is ridiculous.

So, he's a prima donna. Get used to it. You'd be surprised how many of your heroes are.

Reality is scary right now. This could all get better, or we could slip into a real Depression like the 30s. I've been away on and off from this site because I'm trying to salvage my job. I love talking Packers and learning from everyone here, but I got more important things to do now. For those who are continually dogging Favre, I say "Get a life!"

Great points Zombie my friend!
Life is too short........why sweat the small stuff?
I myself will never forget the years of fun Favre gave us, making it FUN again to be a Packer fan. The "ride" ended ugly, but it was lots of fun till the end.
There are much more important things to worry about.

And why did people have to keep bringing up the Ted Thompson letting Favre go subject DURING the season?

---

I thought I was your favorite poster, guess not because I dont have many health problems. Just kidding Zombie!! Your post was awesome my friend!!! +1

I HOPE Ol' Zombie meant me!
Otherwise there must be someone else going through........dang,.........i know there is.
Mine suddenly don't seem so bad.
