[QUOTE="net, post: 231079, member: 200"] Selfishness and arrogance, and believe it or not, I'm NOT talking about Ted Thompson. I've been away from here for a couple of years. In that time away(due to a number of factors including the death of my mother and handling her estate) I've done a 180 on Ted Thompson. I was wrong about Ted and rebuilding the Packers. The real star of Green Bay is Mike McCarthy, who I dissed early and often. So I had it wrong on both guys, and I admit it. But one guy I had it right is Brett Favre. There was a time when I thought Brett walked on water. I wondered what was going on when he first pulled the "riding my tractor" bit to Peter King years ago. But friends, what we have here is a guy who thinks he is above the rules of others, and is making a complete fool of himself and his "legacy". In checking all the media today, it is clear Favre will ask to come back, and the Packers have little choice but to bring him back. In my view, on the opening of camp, I would call the team to the middle of the field and hand Aaron Rodgers the football. "Here's your starting QB, and anyone else who thinks they are better prove it". Unless Brett could prove he could out-do Aaron without an off-season workout and practice regime, he would be #2. So he could sit on the bench this season unless he could absolutely prove he still was the better QB. He turns 39 this year. It would solve the problem of 'what happens if Aaron gets hurt?', but this really sucks. Brett, this sucks. Even a warrior like Bart Starr had to admit it was over. Grow up, Brett, stop being arrogant and selfish and truly mean it when you say you'd never do anything to hurt the Packers. [/QUOTE]
