[QUOTE="Raptorman, post: 500548, member: 655"] I think Brett has acrimony towards Ted Thompson, not the Packer in general. Of course you have all these unproven reports of what Brett supposedly did, like telling the Lions how to beat the Packers. And the quote from Brett "sticking it to Ted" has become "sticking it to the Packers". When Brett came back in 2008 the Packers had three choices. Keep him and let him play, (but they had moved on), trade him, or release him. They choose option 2. Now, they didn't want to trade him to a team in the division. Why? Because they knew he still had the skills to win. But if you think about it, had they traded him within the division, say the Vikings, what do they get? I do believe that the Vikings easily would have given up a 1st and 2 round picks the next year and maybe a 2nd the following year for Brett. Why three picks? Because Childress had to much control and was an idiot. Hell he may have given up 4 picks if he thought he could get Brett and win. So you trade him in the division, knowing you have to play him, yet you just took away 3 major draft picks from your opponent, and saddle them with a $39 million cap hit the next three years. You also know he's not going to be playing much if any past those three years . Who did MN pick up the following year in the draft with number one and two. Harvin and Loadholt. And that last 2nd, Chris Cook. While Harvin has weaseled his way to another team, Loadholt seems to be the answer to the Vikings right tackle position. And in reality, would the Vikings really have hurt what the Packers did? Well we don't know. But it would have been fun to watch. [/QUOTE]
