Watching this gamehas made me really think about Brett Favre.  Should he end his career after this year?  My vote is yes.http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m205/Minutebloe/esd4sigbz9.jpg

nice guy, little bit of an egomaniacI saw his interview after the first game where he played like shit and he didn't take any fault or blame. He worded it " i thought we were ready but obviously we weren't ready "  The manner in which he said it you can tell he was indicating the rest of the team and not himself

I have felyt that for years.  he has never taken blame, but whenever he looks good.  He is always soaking it up.http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m205/Minutebloe/esd4sigbz9.jpg

Did we really lose Madden?  Kornheiser:  "It's doubtful Favre will bring the Packers back, but Favre in Katrina, his wife's breast cancer, his addiction to pain killers really makes him feel like one of us."

By the way i was at this store today and i saw these two people a dude and his wife. And his wife was an absolute tank. The dude looked like he was about to shoot himself. He probably married her when she was skinny and is like to himself Jesus I didn’t marry that.

I used to like Brett Favre and thought he was a classy guy.  Now I see him for what he is - a spoiled brat egomaniac who couldn't care less about what's best for the Green Bay Packers, only about what's best for Brett Favre.  I know he's been great for the organization, but all good things must come to an end.  It's time for management to grow a pair and bench this has been.

Amen, brother.

Farve was a hell of a quarterback in the days when he had a head full of painkillers to keep his primate brain from forming a thought. The guy's answer to every fuck-up is to throw a long bomb into triple coverage. Now back in the days when he had a fully-functiontial thumb and a stellar recieving corps, that shit worked and won several pretty big games. Ten years later, we've got a banged-up old man with a supporting cast that consists of a half-a-decade's worth of wasted draft picks, unproven rookies and practice squad signees. And yet, despite being told not to by his coaches FOR FUCKING YEARS, he still feels the way to win the game is to throw the ball as hard as he can and hope one of our guys comes down with it.

If Brett Farve really wanted what was best for the team, he'd fuck off and die. The cap room he eats could afford us a starting halfback that actually makes it past week three without gettting injured and maybe some recievers & corners that can both run and catch. But as long as that fat-tongued monkey thinks he's the only guy on the team needed to win games, our quarterback-of-the-future becomes a millionare for rotting away on the bench.

if packer fans didnt want him back why did i have to deal with all those stories in the offseason about packers fans asking favre for one more year. i watch nfl total access everyday and not one day in the spring did we not have to sit through 'is brett favre playing this season? we know there are few thousand people who want him to in wisconsin.'fuck those fans this is waht thye wanted, its not hard to post a 'retire now favre" sign  during their public practices. i did it every year vinny t suited up for the jets post parcells.

How many games out of sixteen does he play in a season, honestly? I think his glory days were short-lived, and he's going to be hurting enough in twenty years without all the additional hits he'll take in Baltimore. If you think he's still got more productive years in him, more power to you, but as far as I'm concerned, he's been held together with string for years.

See, I don't count you as a fan unless you actually watch the fucking games, not just put them on in the background. But those mindless twats are the ones that hit the Packer Pro Shop ever week, so I guess in the eyes of the rest of the country, they are "the fans". I can honestly say that the fucking twits that clamor for Farve to play year after year couldn't name anyone on the roster besides Farve, Green and Driver. Come to Wisconsin, find the first person wearing a "4" jersey and ask them if Farve played his entire career in Green Bay and you'll be fucking shocked with the responses you get. So those fans with the "Retire Now" signs you see? Those are the real fans. Try not to get us confused.

I've gotta admit that I'll tolerate Favre until he wants to retire for a couple of reasons:<ol><li>I grew up with Lynn Dickey, Randy Wright, Anthony Dilweg and Don Majkowski.  Favre gets to skate on those grounds alone.</li><li>This team is fucked up right now and putting Rodgers behind that awful line & with that piss-poor running game would literally break him. (Thanks to GM Sherman AND GM Thompson.)</li><li><div>I wanna see anybody break that cunt Dan Marino's precious record.  God that would make me happy.  </div></li></ol>

I'd agree with you if Rodgers was getting as many snaps as he should be. Goddamnit, how many games last year were clearly already lost in which he could he have played a couple series and YET Farve stayed in. Would have made sense back then before we lost even more decent players is all I'm saying.I don't know what the fucking deal is, but we had money to upgrade our O-Line in the off-season but still cheaped it. Aparently they like seeing Farve scramble for some reason.

There has not been a vet players that has taken his team back more Since Patrick Ewing. Demanding that trade or re sign really set the whole Knicks mess in motion. Favre is doing the same thing. Rogers should be in at least his 1.5th year as the starting QB.

Ted Thompson has been open in the past about not feeling that linemen our worth spending a lot of money on (or so I hear). If they really wanted Farve to retire, I believe less snaps would have done it. I honestly think that if Mr. One-Man-Army got benched everytime he threw a third interception (which is sometimes before halftime, and anyone who watches Packer games has seen him finish a full four quarters after 4-5 INTs before) I really do think he'd have a bitch fit, run his mouth to the press, and retire after the season.

cougarjake13 wrote: why dont they just say fuck him, i know it might be a bad pr move but sometimes you just gotta do whats best for the team not the fans The Packer Pro Shop is one of the most lucrative buisinesses in GB. Sales dropped after Sherman got shitcanned (of course they didn't say shit went Ed Donetell's head went on the chopping block. He's just a defensive coodinator after all).The rubes can't handle it when a face leaves town, and I emphasize face for a reason. Mike Sherman took Holgrem's Superbowl-calibur team and drove it into the ground one season at a time. When he got canned, all the yokels were up in arms. But when Defensive Coodinator Jim Bates, who took us from one of the worst defenses in the NFL to one of the top ten in one season, was let go for "not being nice enough to the players in his first year at the job", the bulk of Wisconsin didn't even notice. Remember who the Packer's team owner is? The yahoo's who buy the jerseys, the custum plates, the cardboard cutouts, bla bla bla.... they are the people who latch onto the local sports team with a death grip because there is nothing else to care about in Wisconsin. And as long as these twits keep throwing all their dollars at the merch, public perception in the little city of Green Bay is going to have more influence on the big names and their spot on the roster than it should. The economy here thrives on the team, and when people are pissed at them, the economy of the entire city suffers for it. Make sense?
