As MDS pointed out last night and as we reiterated during Mondays ProFootballTalk Live, Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers accomplished something on Sunday night that his Packers predecessor pulled off.

Rodgers was named Super Bowl MVP. Brett Favre never was.

After the game, Albert Breer of NFL Network pointed that out to Rodgers brother, Luke. I didnt know that, Luke said. Thats fantastic. Now Aarons got one up on Brett.

Rodgers dad, Ed, also was happy to hear the news. He didnt? Ed said of Bretts non-Super Bowl MVP prize. Oh, I didnt know that. OK, I like that, though. Thats awesome.

In other words, dont be shocked if Favre comes back in 2011. Or 2012.

Eh. At least he didn't say something to the effect of, "Well that's because Aaron is better." It is fact that Aaron does have one up on Brett in the SB MVP category. And it is awesome.

I seriously cannot believe that even in the euphoria of the pinnacle of achievement, a Super Bowl victory, people can not resist bringing up Brett Favre vs. Aaron Rodgers. I thought the collective we was better than that. 😞

If I am Rodgers.. after this season.. I put a standing order on all interview.. ask me a Brett question.. the interview is terminated.

Enough is enough.

Aaron is his own man.. his own QB. Enough all ready, I understand the need to ask in this moment.. but it should end now.

I hope it ends, for all of our sakes.

It's not like Brett's brother never said anything stupid in the media. As I recall, his brother was "leaking" information that Brett wasn't happy with the Packers direction as early as 2006 which was, of course, denied by BF.

Bart Starr.......Brett Favre.....Aaron Rodgers

3 GREAT qb's who wore The Green and Gold proud, and brought Championship football back to Green Bay.

Please let all the pettiness of the last 3 years die.

Reality is...

THE GREEN BAY PACKERS ARE ONCE AGAIN WORLD CHAMPIONS.

Everything is right in the world.

-sigh-

There's no pettiness. It's the constant comparison that I'm hoping ends.

He's his own man, he won a SB, I really thought that last night would put an end to all the need to compare Rodgers to Favre and people using Rodgers to somehow take shots at Favre or vice-versa. I loved Aikman and Buck solely because they didn't mention Favre, why would they?

Rodgers is great in his own right. Period. End of story, why the need to validate what he's done by saying anything about Favre. Your probably just feeding Favre's ego, is he really that important, that he needs to be discussed at a time where the GB Packers as a TEAM won the Super Bowl?

Btw, I actually don't think what his brother and dad said was that offensive, it looks they were just asked a question and reacted. I'm not sure what else they were suppose to say. Although not knowing that Favre didn't win the MVP in 1996, they really didn't follow football 15 years ago?

I don't find it all that surprising. If I weren't a Packers fan (and it's probable that Rodgers' relatives are 49ers fans, after all), I don't think I would know who'd won the Super Bowl MVP that year either.

Martha Careful (19h) : thank you Mucky for sticking up for me

Martha Careful (19h) : some of those people are smarter than you zero. However Pete Carroll is not

Mucky Tundra (22h) : Rude!

beast (23h) : Martha? 😋

Zero2Cool (24-Jan) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.

dfosterf (24-Jan) : I'm going with a combination of the two.

beast (24-Jan) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.

beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you

wpr (22-Jan) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.

wpr (22-Jan) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious

beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered

wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.

wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.

wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

beast (21-Jan) : Oh yeah, Georgia starting quarterback season ending elbow injury

beast (21-Jan) : Sadly something happened to Georgia... they should be playing in this game against Ohio State

beast (21-Jan) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh
