Put yourself in Bret Favre's place as well as the Packers. Favre was being pressured by Ted Thompson to retire. He was not sure at that point that he had more left in the tank. Both sides behaved badly. Favre went and played for other teams and Aaron Rodgers emerged as as Star too.
Perhaps it is time to bury the feud and celebrate the good that Favre and the Packers achieved. Carrying a grudge only keeps stirring up the pot. What happened, happened. Dredging it up just prolongs the feud.
The past is the past, forgetting the past may not be possible, but moving past the negativity and moving on can be the best for all concerned.

Not only did Ted NOT trade for Randy Moss, but he also drafted Bert's replacement. Then he shit canned Mike Sherman, who WAS willing to take orders from Bert and hired Mike, not only to reign Bert in but to get Aaron up to speed to replace Bert.
Bert planned that whole retiring/unretiring thing from the beginning, just to try to split the team. He thought there were enough players still loyal to him to make it work. Fans too. It did not. THE TRAIN IS LEAVING THE STATION, BITCHES.
NEVER FORGET: Bert called every team we played that year and gave them our playbook and what he thought Mike was gonna do against them.
And by the way, if you don't think Bert was throwing those INTs in the playoffs on purpose then you've probably never seen this:
And you've probably never heard of
Jenn Sterger , who was surely just the tip of the iceberg as far as Bert's blackmailability is concerned.
I'd rather have Pete Rose on my team.
