I also hate when people act like it wasn't right of Ted Thompson and Mike McCarthy to question his dedication to playing football after he freakin retired and then waited out most of the offseason to decide to maybe return then finally do so... wtf

Saying Favre was what's "best" for the 2008 team is like saying his arm wouldn't have gave out at the end of the season.

You want to finish your career here?
Favre: "Definitely. If in two years, say, they want to trade me, I'd probably walk away. Retire."

Maybe it does? Maybe by then we are in position to make the playoffs? What did A-Rod do? Was it worth it?

So you seriously still think that Favre would step in and play DE? Or does he just put his hands on KGB and/or Cullen Jenkins and have them miracelously recovered?

I'm glad that I'm not the QB on your team when they're losing.

Ok, great and that begs this question.

Did Ted seriously think that A-Rod was going to step in and play Def or miraculously heal those players?

The problem is Ted didn't know about the Def. struggles we were going to have or the injuries at the time he made the decision.

I'm really not getting you here.

You say that Favre might've gotten us in a position to battle for a play-off spot. You also imply that Rodgers didn't. I say that the struggles of the team where mainly because of weak D-line play and you come out and say that Ted didn't know that the defense was going to struggle when he made the choice to let Favre go. Am I missing something?

The original point was Favre was the better choice, or at worst equal, without all the drama, in 2008 over Rodgers.

We had numerous chances to win at the end of games so it's not so outlandish Favre would have pulled out a few of them where A-Rod choked. Is it a certainty, no, but it is likely.

lol, I always kinda get the feeling that Brett decided during the offseason that he wanted to come back and play for Minnesota even before the whole mess and figured since GB drafted 2 QBs they would just release him. But when he came back Ted had enough cap room to call his bluff.

(Just a fun little conspiracy I dreamed up not serious)

beast (7h) : Oh yes, sometimes they make using a cellphone tough. I just wanted to make sure it was the correct article, & thank you for pointing it out.

jdlax (9h) : I can't believe one of my teams went out and wablammo just up and acquired one of the best players in the world overnight

dfosterf (13h) : I do very much appreciate when Beast and others pick up my slack 😊

dfosterf (13h) : I accept Beast's admonishment regarding my failure to link stuff I reference. I simply never learned to link from my cell phone.

beast (14h) : That's not what your she said 😌, she said keep going 😏

Mucky Tundra (17h) : Anything over 4 hours means he needs to get to the hospital

Mucky Tundra (17h) : Someone might want to check on Hafley and make sure his erection has gone down

Zero2Cool (19h) : LaFleur texts "bleep me I cannot sit down"

Zero2Cool (19h) : YouTube has had me last hour or two lol

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Ugh this trade happened right as my shift started and it's killing me

Zero2Cool (19h) : Parsons wore 23 in high school.

Zero2Cool (19h) : Packers just cost Lions more money with Hutchinson too huh

Zero2Cool (21h) : That is fair by me.

buckeyepackfan (21h) : Kenny Clark is the player, 2 1st rnd picks

Zero2Cool (21h) : umm... what?

wpr (21h) : I am stunned

Mucky Tundra (21h) : RICKEY SCOOPS WAS RIGHT AGAIN!!!

Mucky Tundra (21h) : ITS HAPPENING

buckeyepackfan (21h) : DEAL IS DONE

buckeyepackfan (21h) : MICAH IS COMING TO GREEN BAY!!!!!!!!!

wpr (28-Aug) : Me do-ed it gooderly,

Zero2Cool (28-Aug) : Bahah, I was like WTF why isn't anyone posting on PP.com ... oops no one has permissions

dfosterf (27-Aug) : tell her I reckon

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Micah Robinson cut. Probable PS player tomorrow. Has to call mom back and t

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : New site so much better. Might make switch and deal with it.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3

wpr (27-Aug) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him

dfosterf (27-Aug) : I bet a lot of us will follow the Taylor Elgersma journey with interest. Personally, got a Kurt Warner vibe goin' on. I like him

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Tune or Hooker would make sense

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Clayton Tune cut by the Cards? Don't know if that's the guy, we shall see

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Per Bill Huber, the Packers will not be bringing back Taylor Elgersma or Sean Clifford on the practice squad, so a new third quarterback

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Schefter must have deleted his tweet

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is

beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah

dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work

dfosterf (27-Aug) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n

packerfanoutwest (27-Aug) : The Packers, meanwhile, are the youngest team in the league for the third consecutive year.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : That it was darkest before the dawn in Bengals and Commanders before they got deals done

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : what is Schefter saying?

dfosterf (27-Aug) : He was getting Dorito infusion therapy

dfosterf (27-Aug) : He's outta shape. Why, just the other day I saw him splayed out on the trainers table
