I'm still amazed that people are stooping so low as to call Brett something other than his name, intentionally as if they are cute or clever or funny. To an outsider, we fans must look like real ungrateful idiots.


Then again ....

I never once insinuated that I was offended. But since Ted came around, can we get a count on how many of those guys turned into something?

Simply because you root for a team doesn't mean you have to adore every player on it. Let's be clear, I'm not saying that at all. What I said was, to an outsider reading Packers fans deliberately call a Packers legend who did so much for the organization by a different name just has to look ungrateful from their perspective.

As for your blasphemy of a question, (how the hell can you not see the difference lol) if an outsider reads Packers fans blasting a Bears player, they probably think said Bears player must be good.

The intentional messing up of the name is stupid; The whole bringing of race into it is sick and disgusting (but understandable when you see WHICH POSTER first did it); But the most idiotic of all is disrespecting Brett Favre. He stands right now as the best player in the history of the NFL, although he may very well be passed up for that by Aaron Rodgers, and we are so BLESSED that BOTH of them are OURS. I really don't give a damn what "outsiders" think - about this or anything else, but the disrespect of such a Packer icon is WRONG just because it's WRONG.
