stormeaston Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 He always was a jerk, I know he's pretty much not welcome in Green Bay anymore, he should have just retired and ended it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats definately true......like an old boxer, this clown just doesnt know when to hang up the gloves. And he used the Jets for a one year deal, then promised them he was retiring, all the while just maneuvering himself to the Vikings where he wanted to go all along but couldnt make happen directly from GB. in the end, we get to watch him get pummeled in Minnesota, Im in!

BAD SNAKE Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 I think he is pissed at the Packers organization for some reason. It seems like he wants revenge. Living on the west coast I haven't been following Brett that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he is Pissed at Green Bay.......He Retired and pissed off a few people along the way, then decided Retirement was not for him and wanted to come back, Green Bay said NO, because they already replaced him, so the Traded him to the Jets...............He caused all of his own Problems and wont admit to it...............

It's amazing how he went from could do no wrong in Green Bay to this. He will be accepted to the NFL hall of fame someday, will he accept as a Green Bay quarterback?

kahmann Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Favre has been my favorite player since I was a kid (while he was still a kid too!). I was the most die hard Packer backer you could find. I tore all my green and gold down after what happened between the front office and Brett however and sold it or threw it away. I caught a couple Jets games last year and he was just as fun to watch as ever. While I'd have to hold down my own vomit if he were to play for the Vikings, I'd rather he play for them then not play at all. He's still got a rocket of an arm and is still a ton of fun to watch play. And I think it would be hilarious to see him waltz outta Lambeau with another victory under his belt, only this time in purple and gold. Ken p.s. The Peckers suck!

Who cares? Had they just traded him to Minnesota to begin with, instead of to the Jets, none of this would have gotten to this point of hilarity. How the Packer faithful didn't stone the execs in the front office and burn the place to the ground is beyond me. Rogers will be a 3rd stringer in the Euro-NFL in 2 or 3 years and then where will they be? The whole thing was just ridiculous after what Favre gave that entire hillbilly town.

Torch40 Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 It always cracks me up when fans decide when someone should retire or not. It's his life, the NFL teams choose to sign him and pay him and play him. What's the big deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DubbsFaris Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 I got both his rookie cards a couple years back...it would have been better for me if he retired on a high note....but you people need to consider one thing... His last year with the packers was one of his finest years, and he didnt get to the superbowl...if he had, I think he may have retired, but since he didn't I am sure his line of thinking was, I was able to give a 100% performance for the year, and even at 80% Im better than anything else they are going to get, so if my body is up to it, I will play....but these decisions take time since you need several months for your body to heal from the blunt trauma sustained over the course of a season. A TOTAL LACK of communication by the front office put both Farve and the Packers ina NO WIN situation. This is the passion of his life, and I for one am not going to judge him for playing while he can. You get one shot at life, and giving up your passion is a hard thing to do. I wish Brett the best in life, even if he is somewhat of an ass. I have lots of friends who are asses, so what. :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huge Packer fan and appreciate him pulling us out of irrelevance after a 20 year losing streak. As long as someone wants him, let him play. We'd all keep going if we could. What's the difference to us Packer fans? We moved on with a younger guy and I can understand the thinking there. No reason to wish him ill will no matter where he plays since we decided we weren't going to start him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are both to blame and both bear responsibility for the results. Brett could not make up his mind if he was going t retire or play. He put the whole team in a holding pattern. Not fair to the organization. Then Thompson pushed him. Again, not the right thing to do to someone who has done so much for him, nor was it right for Brett to put the organization that gave him a chance to start as opposed to being a backup in Atlanta. Thier both jerks. That detracts from the great organization that is Green Bay. Something that will never be in Minesota, Farve or no Farve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingCobra666 Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Farve still has a great arm but his control is lacking like it did when he was a rookie. His legs are shot. I hope he can let go, but he probably still loves the game. Whatever he does, I wish him the best. I still like him for the great years he gave Greenbay. Ahh the glory days...

Conference Championship game AT HOME.......AND he throws the ball away AGAIN in OT. And its nothing personal for me, Im a Giants fan, dare I say.....Thanks Brett!

sportscars Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Brett Favre is/has been an incredible player. To watch him get creamed by a DL and then smack him on the ass and say good hit shows what kind of sportsman he is. He may be an A-hole off the field but that is seperate from on field play. While I think he should have stayed retired I admit that I can not even begin to understand what it must be like to leave the game that you live to play. The passion he has is unmatched and I think that is his problem. He loves the game so much he can't manage to walk away. Must have been the same thing for Carroll Shelby when he had to give up racing. I just can't fathom quiting someting that you are one of the best in the entire world at. If I was that good I might just do it until I died! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
