[QUOTE="NodakPaul, post: 232076, member: 1127"] Meh, I am not sold on the Rodger's injury thing, although I recognize that it is somewhat of a concern. I realize that in the heat of some of this discussion, some people may not be paying attention to who is posting. Let me make one this clear - I am [i]not[/i] a Packers fan. I cheer for a much better team across the river ;) And as such, my view on this situation is not marred by emotion or betrayal. First and foremost, Fav-re is one of the greatest QBs to play the game, no question there. However, he is also one of the most selfish people to play the game. Outside WI, the league has known this for years. From his refusal to mentor Rodgers to this flip-flopping the past three years on retirement. This is not out of character for Fav-re in any way. The fact is that Fav-re is knowingly ******** the Packers by doing this. He is looking out for himself and himself only.There is absolutely no positive way that Fav-re can play football in 2008 without there being some negative effects. When he retired, he told the world that he no longer has it in him to put in the work Monday through Saturday. He can still play ball on Sunday, but he doesn't have the drive and commitment that it takes the rest of the week. Now, instead of retiring as a legend, one pass away from the superbowl, he is going to come back and try and force one more year. The odds of him performing as well as he did last year, even is he is with the Packers, are low. Most likely, he will be ending his career on a bad note. And he will have forever tarnished the legacy that he had made for himself in Green Bay, and the rest of the NFL. Just a non-emotional view from a non-Packer fan. [/QUOTE]
