That Hall of Fame locker though? Bahah (that's being facetious). He is right, he's remembered for the 16 seasons with the Packers, nothing can change that fact.

Love or hate him, he was a huge part of the Packers "rise from the dead".
I'll remember him for that, and the fun it was watching him.

What Packers fan would hate Favre? I was very pissed off that he put the sperm helmet on his head, but it isn't a reason to walk around and hate the guy. What it did was allow me to see the guy just as much for his many flaws as his greatness as a quarterback. It's pretty safe to say that Favre ruined his own demigod status among Packers fans by letting his ego rule common sense.

What has to stick in the craws of Vikings fans is that Bernard Berrian was actually wide open on that play. I'm not sure he would have gotten the first down even if he had made the catch, but he would have been able to get out of bounds and give Minnesota a chance at a long field-goal attempt.

It's also pretty fun to watch Chester Taylor's body language on that play. You can see him glance over his shoulder and do a total "Oh, shit!" double-take the moment Favre winds up to uncork the pass downfield. It makes me wonder how the play was originally called. I have to think it was intended to be a play-action pass to the sidelines, not a throw to the middle of the field.

Most forget thst was the bountygate game.
The Saints did everything they coukd to knock Favre out of the game, he refused to quit .

The gane ended the way every Packer fan wanted.

The guts and drive Favre showed right up till that last throw was the reason he will always be one of The Packer Greats!

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

beast (5h) : If they aren't doing it, then why are you assuming they know how to do it?

dfosterf (10h) : Mackelvie

dfosterf (10h) : Michael Macelvie- NFL teams know how to draft- Why don"t they?

dfosterf (10h) : Youtube

Zero2Cool (15h) : Packers were not selected for the 2025 Hall of Fame game.

dfosterf (17h) : PFOW Out of our division would be a good thing imo

Zero2Cool (19h) : Jameson Williams is done at 24 years old? What? He's a WR, not QB. I'm missing something here haha

wpr (19h) : Tomorrow is almost here.

packerfanoutwest (20h) : would you want him if Pack needed a back up qb?

packerfanoutwest (20h) : JW is done......stick a fork in him

Zero2Cool (21h) : You should. He goes to AFC that helps Packers.

packerfanoutwest (23-Apr) : don't care

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Lions shopping Jameson Williams?

packerfanoutwest (22-Apr) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (22-Apr) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.

wpr (22-Apr) : now 3

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Who? What?

beast (22-Apr) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (21-Apr) : meh

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

wpr (21-Apr) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (21-Apr) : 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?
