Not at all.

Wasn't baiting. Wasn't saying you suggested this at all.

Are you baiting me by suggesting this is a bait thread? :shrug:

I'm just stating that there are still people out in Packerland who feel this way. I've seen it. I've heard it.

Sorry, but I'm not bitin' your bait....

I believe this whole Favre retirement thing is blown way of proportion by certain people on these kinds of forums. I believe that it really doesn't matter that much to the GM or the team, as much as these hysterical fans believe, and I believe that God made little green apples...

(and I believe it's time for Yared-Yam to remove "#1 Ingle Martin supporter" from his signature..)

How about it? Anyone with me..?

I Hope he can do better than this year but he has had a super year. I HOPE HE COMES BACK

I have no clue whether what I'm going to say has any validity, but when in Green Bay last Sunday the talk was that Thompson has told Brett he wants him back, but he wants him back for two or three years and he wants it announced so that we don't go through this, "is Brett retiring" or "is Brett coming back" stuff again. Apparently what Thompson wants is a commitment. Is there any truth to that? I don't know, but it sounds good to me.

I doubt that Thompson would ask for any kind of commitment from Favre. It would be meaningless anyway. At Favre's age, he has to take it year by year. It is his prerogative to do that. Even if Favre made a commitment, what if one year down the road, he thought his body just wasn't ready for another season of playing at a high level? Then he would have to back out of his commitment.

Just for the record, I think this is actually kind of late for the Favre retirement talk to get started. In previous years, it has started earlier, sometimes much earlier. It's been delayed this year because the team is doing so well, so there are more interesting stories for journalists to cover. That includes the excellent performance of Favre himself.

I don't think this is a bad subject for discussion, though. It is one thread among many.

When is Rodger's contract up? If I were him, I'd want out. Yeah, he's getting paid to stand on the sidelines and watch Brett Favre, but I'd actually want to play. He's known as the guy who's waiting for Favre to retire. I couldn't be that guy.

Would you rather see Favre retire this year, Nathaniel, so that you can see Rodgers start for GB?

Maybe we should have a poll?

Would be inneresting...

I didn't say you were suggesting I was one of those people, but it looks like you just admitted that was your intention. You shouldn't play this type of game with me, son. You're not smart enough.

But good to know you weren't baiting....

Not only are you wrong Jr....you're delusional.

Like it's been said, I fail to understand why people are getting so worked up over this thread. You think too much of yourself if you believe that healthy talk about Brett's future status on a fan forum will "distract the team" or whatever the tools of the media always say. As a fan, it's just nice to have a little bit of closure on the situation because as great as this season has been, the odds are still stacked up against us. Hell, even a SB win this year doesn't preclude us from wanting another next year.
