I lost alot of respect for Favre with his retirement antics, which were used to just get his way.
But i don't hate the guy.
I'll cheer for him when he gets into the hall of fame. But i won't cheer for him while he's a Viking. I hope he chokes away the Vikings first real chance at a SB win in a long time.
But if he does win it all, i will be happy for my Viking fan friends. But not for Favre.

Favre to me is just another player. Had I attended the Vikings game at Lambeau this year, I wouldn't have booed the Vikings any louder just because he was on the team. When the opposing team is announced, I boo them, regardless of who is on their team.

I don't think he is the God some make him out to be; and I don't think he is the anti-christ either.

+1 to you for expressing my thoughts precisely -- and much more concisely than I would have.

NoTeam - Stand by your team unless they're a bunch of criminals.

I won't get into how I feel about Favre but I will tell you something about me. I'm a gambler. Every year, I put a lot of money down on football games. Before this season started, I knew Brett would unretire and come to the Vikings. I watched him on the Jets and saw he was still an ellite QB up until the injury, whereas it was painful to watch. I knew if he had surgery, he'd be close to 100% and a 40-year-old Brett Favre is still Brett Favre.

As a gambler, I don't care if the Packers are 0-16 the year before, I NEVER bet against my boys. So I put money on the Packers (25-1 odds) to win the SB. I also put money on the Vikings (8-1 odds) to win it all. It's because of all the NFL teams, the 2008 Vikings had every piece to win the big one except their QBs were bottom 5. You can win the SB with a top 20 QB, but not with a bottom 5 QB. (I'm also an amateur Historian).

So I put my feelings aside and put money on the team I think will win it all. This is the first year I put money on teams before the season started and I'd like to continue this tradition. But I almost always bet. I made big money on the Giants beating the Pats, lost big money on the Colts beating da Bears, and didn't bet on last year's SB.

Root for your team. They got the best chance at winning the big one since, well, ever. They're not going to win it with Tarvaris Jackson, that's fo shizzle. You can hate what Brett Favre did, that's fine. But how can you not love AP, Percy Harvin, and Jared Allen?

wpr (20h) : 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.
Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb
wpr (9-Apr) : yay
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland
Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'
Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you
Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.
