[QUOTE="TJV, post: 500477, member: 4300"] [FONT=Arial]Rodgers is entitled to his opinion like everyone else and my opinion is the minimum required of Favre before any kind of reconciliation takes place is he issues a sincere and public apology to Packers fans, the Packers organization, and Aaron Rodgers. How could we tell it is sincere? That’s hard to say considering the source, but [I]how about if he cries half as much as he did during his embarrassing March 2008 “retirement” announcement[/I]? [/FONT] [FONT=Arial]IMO all analogies to other famous players’ departures from the teams they’re mostly associated with fail because of Favre’s extremely immature and “traitorous” actions. I don’t remember another example that’s close.
