Wait... I'm confused. I thought they were both phonies.
Well one is a copy cat phony, other is "real"

Favre vs Rodgers is a passe argument BOTH led GB to super bowls. Why even talk about it ???

It's not really passe because favre played for the packers 5 years ago and retired from football just 2 years ago. I would say it is a pointless argument though. Favre was great when he played and Aaron has been great. Aaron is the better passer but Brett had more grit and determination.
I will explain it for you since you can't grasp the comment. If they retire or don't retire a number it means very little in terms of a players legacy.Because this is a Packers forum and it's what we do?
There is no legal recourse for this person. If there was someone attacking his professional life and he was losing income, he would have a case. But he would still have to prove malicious intent and that the accusations were false. Living in your parents basement, talking to your cat, and tweeting is not much of a career and our comments will not impact that. Besides, even if there was an impact, tweeting pays very little anyway. I have no doubt the original TOMIK is absolutely serious with every opinion he states. However, his threats of legal action are merely an attempt to scare us - I doubt he ever had any intention of following through with it. It would, of course, be absolutely absurd. In order to sue he would have to ask mom and dad for the retainer fee.Guys, theonlymeiknow had to of been pulling our tails from the beginning. I doubt he ever contact the Feds, his local authorities or even a lawyer. If he did then he's an even bigger fool than we think. He's only getting himself in trouble if he does. You don't want to waste the FBI's time. Reading back through this thread, I don't think any of us did anything illegal. I'm not a lawyer but I would find his "reports" groundless and should he indeed decide to pursue it, he would not only be wasting his own time, but the time of the courts and his own legal fees as well. Sad thing is there are lawyers out there that would take his case and more importantly, his money because they would think he is either crazy or a fool or both. They would probably know from the beginning the guy has no case but if he is stupid enough to pursue it, then I'm sure there are lawyers out there who would jump at the opportunity to take the case. In the meantime, if this troll is going to remain on here, I would strongly recommend to everyone to STOP FEEDING HIM! The reason he is still here is because he is getting a response. If he does pursue this, it might be a good thing for us to of ceased and desisted of all contact and engagements with him once we were made aware of his intentions and his actions (if he made any at all). I say this in the interest of protecting the forum, not because I think this guy has a shred of legal credibility, but it never hurts to be sure and it doesn't hurt us any to stop interacting with him.
This thread has nothing to do with anyone retiring anyone's numbers. This thread is all about the FBI, living in basements, cats, bluffing legal action, douchbaggery, two phonies ( one being real), and 27,000 posts on Twitter and counting.I will explain it for you since you can't grasp the comment. If they retire or don't retire a number it means very little in terms of a players legacy.
Willie Davis #87 great packer is the only person to possess all four of the Green Bay Packers' Super Bowl rings. Yet his number was NOT retired. Does that tarnish his legacy ??? ( http://www.packers.com/news-and-eve...ur-rings/fdeae1be-3d3e-4ffb-87f7-1ec70f4a7c10 )
-Both have to be untruthful, and otherwise made public. -Putting a person's name on any message board is a publication, to be sure.
But there is nothing untruthful about it (I assume) so the next step would be to figure out if there is any OTHER legal claim. I cannot think of one. A person's name is not private information. Nor, really, is what they do.
-So, the threat of a suit is minimal.
It wouldn't come under any slander/libel theory. -Next would be negligence.
Did you do something that you had a duty to NOT do, or something like that? -You would have to answer "yes" to that question, before the next question comes along. -
Failure to act, or to not act, constitutes negligence. -
Next, would be the question of harm. Was there any harm?
Obviously, I could own property, have a hazardous condition on my property, but if nobody gets hurt, there is no harm. Game over.
Lastly, your negligence would have to have caused the harm. -Basically, the harm has to be tied to the negligence. -I cannot think of any other way that you could be sued.
I currently have Nick Barnett's address. I could publish it... I would violate no law, and would not be doing anything that would subject me to a lawsuit. (Admittedly, there are many reasons why I don't publish it, including some personal reasons... but the point is the same)
So the retire the number argument is rather pointless because if you have to retire a number in order to have a great legacy then you don't have much of one do you. It's passe in that there was a huge thread on this very board for 2 years arguing the same points that led to..... nowhere.

But then what will we do for fun around here? I tried my hand at trolling with the roster projection thread, didn work out. Let the good laughs roll!STOP FEEDING HIM!
Why don't we just forget about this person or thing. Whatever it is.
True and false lol. Rodgers was the best pure passer of the 3.It's a pointless argument because Starr was better than either of them.

Every game has been sold out at Lambeau since Nov 22, 1959. I would think even a casual Packer fan knew that. I was actually trying to be pleasant and allow for the possibility that there was another reason an NFL game could be blacked out back then.
As of now. Aaron has been great so far but he has a long way to go to solidify his legacy.
For the sake of completeness. There were several games in the 80s that were blacked out in the Milwaukee TV area when the Packers were playing at County Stadium and the game didn't sell out there.
