Damn, I thought I lacked being tactful. LTF raises the bar ...

Aaron Rodgers did not say Brett Favre was a distraction. In that snippet he says that Brett arriving in GB during the Family Night created an awkward locker room because the team didn't know 'who is the guy now?'. I didn't read that Aaron said Brett was a distraction in there.

Porky said he doesn't think any player will say Favre was a distraction. It was then noted that Rodgers said it was a distraction. I am saying, Rodgers has not said Favre (the man, the player, not the situation) was a distraction. I wasn't denying that the situation (which is what RP is referring to) was a distraction, more so on the lines of how I read porkys post which was saying Favre won't be labeled a distraction by any player. Which I have not heard or seen any player say Brett Favre was a distraction.

There's no denying the situation created by Favre unretiring was a distraction. I can't think of any player during that time who was interviewed by anyone who wasn't asked about Brett at least once. How can that not be a distraction?

I think Rodgers thinks it was a distraction and based on the Irvin interview it sounds like that's what he was implying at least.

My point was or is that nobody is going to trash Brett Favre publicly because they don't want to be disrespectful to a Green Bay legend, but behind close doors I think there is probably mixed feelings about what happened in the Summer.

Players have opinions just like the fans do.

I think it's pretty obvious that people were bothered to some extent.

Being an attorney is right.

Rodgers said what he said. And what he said was Brett Favre being there was a distraction to him, and to the team in the locker room.

There can be no situation with out Brett, and with out Brett there is no situation.

That is like saying that it was the Hot Water's fault that the waiter caused a stain on my jacket when the waiter spilled a cup of tea on. It is a fricken tea stain, not a hot water stain. Actually it is all three the water, the tea, and the hot water. But you can not exlude one.

Be careful Zero. Some people might say you just can not admit you made a mistake and are a stubborn person. I of course like to believe that is not the case.

R.P.

There is no situation with the press with out Brett Favre.

Understood, but I don't see it as I made a mistake. I took porky's comment as saying that no one has said Brett was a distraction, in which I don't think anyone has. Why is that so hard to understand?

I know Rodgers said the situation was a mistake, I trucking commented on it awhile back! I know it's a fine line, but just because some can't understand the point I'm making doesn't make me right, or wrong. Perhaps, difficult? lol :)

btw, I have no problems being wrong, when I am indeed wrong. When I am misunderstood that's a different story. And I am stubborn, ask the gf. Hell, she'll contest to that I'm difficult too! hah

you both are right. It was originally Tube Steak Boogie but no radio station would play it because they didn't want to say the title on the air so the producers of the album changed the title. Now it is Tube Snake Boogie.....which no one knows what the hell that even is.

I fully agree with James Jones. Brett Favre was not the problem. I'd also add that he wasn't the solution either.

Injuries, bad kicking/punting and poor play calling doomed us.

Mucky Tundra (27-Jul) : Golden with two TDs in red zone drills today

Mucky Tundra (27-Jul) : @JacobMorley Shoutout to Quinn Ewers for allowing Matthew Golden to be available when Green Bay picked.

Zero2Cool (27-Jul) : The menu you expanded to log in, it's the first icon under "PackersHome" .. maybe i should add text to it

dfosterf (27-Jul) : Feelin' pfowish can't find the sun. No big deal, will drag a laptop out when the time comes

Zero2Cool (27-Jul) : if you're on mobile, open the menu and its the "sun" icon

dfosterf (27-Jul) : Can't find the toggle, lol

dfosterf (27-Jul) : I can find that the Microsoft lady rep for Titletown Tech is the philanthropy boss for the entire Microsoft corporation, but. .

Zero2Cool (27-Jul) : There's a toggle for light/dark theme. Super easy.

dfosterf (27-Jul) : The white background beta was hard to read, especially the quotes

dfosterf (27-Jul) : Hopefully the color scheme remains the same

dfosterf (27-Jul) : *Friday*

dfosterf (27-Jul) : 100 million would be 539 million as of Fridsy

dfosterf (27-Jul) : Heck, they could have taken a hundred milliion and invested in DAVE inc. last year (semi random, humor, but real)

dfosterf (27-Jul) : Beer brat and ticket is where the money comes from

dfosterf (27-Jul) : The 40th is Titletown Tech itself. This is a pet project of both Ed Policy and Mark Murphy

Zero2Cool (27-Jul) : New site coming along nicely. The editor is better than what we have here. Oh yeah!

dfosterf (27-Jul) : No profit that I know of. 0 for 40

dfosterf (27-Jul) : The woke reference has to do with the makeup and oftentimes objectives of the companies they invested in

packerfanoutwest (27-Jul) : beer and brats woke? say whom?

beast (27-Jul) : I don't want to get into politics, but how is, beers and brats considered to be "woke"? Food is food...

beast (27-Jul) : That being said, I'm not saying all 100% should be that way, but not surprised if majority are Wisconsin based

beast (27-Jul) : And if everyone has heard of them, then it it probably has less growth potential and less community based

dfosterf (27-Jul) : -Not saying woke, but should- borderline philanthopist venture capital excercise

beast (27-Jul) : Wow, 95% drop in investment revenue? Would be interesting to hear the details of why...

dfosterf (25-Jul) : It's my one day deal complaint dept. on shareholder meeting day

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Probably a homer access credential intimidation kinda thing

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Any plans to hold Maureen Smith (CFO) accountable for a 95% drop in investment revenue?

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : In your face, HBO!

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Did Savion Williams run into a goalpost or something?

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career

Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @AndyHermanNFL Jordy Nelson out at camp today. No word if he’s in play for one of the two open roster spots ; )

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?

Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Savion concussion ... not good.
