What is the difference between now and 10 years? Like Brett is going to say sorry? Or Ted/Mike is going to admit any fault?

Plus Rodgers will have amassed more Lombardi's by then.. that will only install more rawness to Brett's chapped ass with that news. And he will probably cock off at least once about it soon.

To me.. do it, resolve it and move on. Honor him for what he did over the course of his career in Green Bay, he helped spear the turnaround that still resides today.

I just want it to be over.

I don't know if I care anymore about any apologies.

Brett Favre is an enormous part of the Green Bay Packers history and I would love to see him doing events in the name of the Packers like we see the likes of Antonio Freeman, Mark Tauscher, William Henderson, etc ... if not for the fans, do it for the easy cash for your charities!

I think it would be incredibly awesome if the current Packers regime were to have some kind of Brett Favre Appreciation Day. Set it up for like July 20th or something in the off season.

It is going to happen at some point in time. Doesn't matter to me if it is tomorrow or in 10 years. I don't care if he kisses Uncle Teddy's butt or not. Everyone knows he douched it up at the end. The god that was Favre is merely a man. Since I wasn't a Favre-ite and didn't worship at his alter I can live it that.

There is less traffic around the board these days but I was a little tired of all the apologists claiming he never did anything wrong (a gross exaggeration on my part) so I don't mind it. I would rather talk to Packer fans than Favre fans anyway. I wouldn't know how to follow a professional sports team because of one single player.

That was one of the stupidest moves ever. It tore away the rivalry they had with both the Twins and the growing one with the ChiSox and gave them the Cubs as there only real rival at the time. The Cubs didn't need a rival to help their attendance and the Brewers could use all the help they could get.

amen, for me I could do it in less than 10 years if he owned up what he did to the fans. I dont know what went on with him and management nor do I pretend to. All I know he was an ass by giving a big FU to all the Packers fan out there was just disrespectful and he should own up to it.

oh and maybe officially turning his steak house into a waffle house as a monument to his off-season wait game would be nice too.

I knew some day he would be back. Just a matter of when.
He made being a Packer fan fun again. Was i upset that he was a "Viking"? Yes. Did i want the Packers to whip his butt? Yes.

That's all in the past now, and in the end, it's ONLY a game. That's reality.

Agree with everything except when he became Viking, I didn't expect him to go to a loser just to make us happy. The Vikings were about as good a fit as ever was based on the situation. And yes, he did make football fun again.

ESPN pushed the door open a little more with the awards.

Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

Zero2Cool (2h) : NFL thought it would get more attention week preceding Super Bowl.

Zero2Cool (2h) : Yes, the Pro Bowl. It was played Sunday before Super Bowl from 2010-2022

packerfanoutwest (2h) : pro bowl

Zero2Cool (2h) : From 2010 to 2022, it was played on the Sunday before the Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (2h) : They moved it to the BYE week before Super Bowl several years ago.

packerfanoutwest (2h) : it was always after the SB.....

beast (11h) : Though I stop following pro bowl years ago

beast (11h) : I thought the pro game was before the Super Bowl?

packerfanoutwest (12h) : ok now for the Pro Bowl Game in Hawaii

TheKanataThrilla (13h) : If I was Philly I would try to end it instead of punting it

Mucky Tundra (13h) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!

TheKanataThrilla (13h) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted

Mucky Tundra (13h) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance

Mucky Tundra (13h) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (13h) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB

Mucky Tundra (13h) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?

Zero2Cool (14h) : 49ers gonna trade Deebo. Interesting

TheKanataThrilla (14h) : Replays always never seem to show the holdings

TheKanataThrilla (14h) : Great throw by Hurts

Mucky Tundra (14h) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)

Mucky Tundra (14h) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez

Mucky Tundra (14h) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away

Mucky Tundra (14h) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems

beast (14h) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason

beast (14h) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick

packerfanoutwest (14h) : wtf Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (14h) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good

Mucky Tundra (14h) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them

TheKanataThrilla (14h) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.

Mucky Tundra (14h) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now

Mucky Tundra (14h) : oh fuck me i messed that up

Zero2Cool (14h) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall

Zero2Cool (14h) : Carter was 9th overall

Zero2Cool (14h) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back

Zero2Cool (14h) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?

Mucky Tundra (14h) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous

Mucky Tundra (14h) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps

TheKanataThrilla (14h) : And we could only wish to have this type of D

TheKanataThrilla (14h) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D

packerfanoutwest (14h) : another crap halftime show

TheKanataThrilla (15h) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half

Mucky Tundra (15h) : And with a Pass Rush that might as well be on a milk cartoon and no Jaire

Martha Careful (15h) : I cant help but feel good about how well the Packers D played in Philly during the playoffs

Mucky Tundra (15h) : this game is over

Mucky Tundra (15h) : This might be the kill shot here

Mucky Tundra (15h) : oh that's such a bad penalty for KC after getting the 3rd down stop

TheKanataThrilla (15h) : Philly DL has come to play

TheKanataThrilla (15h) : Ceoper DeJean with the INT scored...bad memories of draft night

Mucky Tundra (15h) : ok scratch that

Mucky Tundra (15h) : Game feels like last years Super Bowl: 49ers started off in control, moved the ball well but didn't have much of a lead to show for it
