I'm willing to forgive Favre as soon as he is actually retired, for good. Problem is, I don't think I can actually believe that he is until he's making a speech at Canton.
NO GIVE BACKS!!!!! You guys got him, he is now yours forever, unless some poor schmuck team signs him and removes the blemish that is Brett Favre.From a pure statistical standpoint, Favre is perhaps the greatest quarterback to play the game... then again, fans and others, end up bringing in all of his personal garbage into the equation. I am glad he had the season he had the first season with the Vikings for the Vikings sake, but even then I always pictured him in Green and Gold. He'll go into Canton as a Packer. The Jets and Vikings were just blips on his career. I've never cared about Brett Favre but I have always respected his playing ability.
I know he is a bitter person in regards to how he left the Packers, but he is partially responsible for that situation whether he wants to admit it or not. All his waffling got old... and I am sure he'll 'consider' making another comeback. Curse him if he does. I just hope the Vikings are done with his rotting carcass. It didn't sit well with me that he wore HIS #4 hat on the sidelines and in the press conferences. Many people have posted on the various Viking fan sites that he pretty much only thinks of himself and not the team. He was told to cover his #4 hat on the sidelines with the purple knit hat. I'm sure he couldn't wait to take it off.
Oh well.... enough about Favre. He is no longer a Viking or a Packer... maybe the Bears want him?

Lombardi cried when he left the Packers. You think Farve did?
Beware of Greeks bearing gifts, I'm just sayin.....
hmm I don't get this reference... help!
He'll go into Canton as a Packer.

Players don't go into the Pro Football Hall of Fame as a member of a team, unlike baseball.
The personal life of a Packer Player (especial if it becomes public) is somewhat unique in Green Bay for a number of reasons Here my thoughts as to the reason why. It is a small town where the fans have a very close association with the players, it it a very, very Catholic, christian population with strong family values. The fans own the team, and when a player acts with poor judgment, they feel it reflects on them personally and they want that player out of town (Mark Chmura). Maybe time will heal wounds for some, here is a good example: Backers drafted a wide receiver in the late 1970's. His performance on the field was fantastic. Was all-pro in 6 of his 9 years with the Packers, yet at a young age 30 he was traded to Oakland. He was not washed-up and played another 6 years winning another all-pro selection in Buffalo. Why would the Packers dump him? Because his personal life became public.
1) in 1984 he was charged with ****** assault on a dancer in a club in Milwaukee, he claimed it was consensual sex. Not charged due to lack of evidence.
2) in 1986 he was charged again with ****** assault in a stairwell in a Green Bay night club. Charges dropped due to lack of evidence.
So here is this future Hall Of Fame Player and he was run out of town. Why? He was not convicted of anything, never spent time in jail. It was because of the reasons I gave earlier....small town, very Christian population, old-fashioned virtues, AND the fans own the team. Al Davis wouldn't have gotten rid of him.
Players name: James Lofton, inducted into the Packer Hall of Fame in 1999, 13 after he left Green Bay. He left with no hard feelings towards Green Bay or the Packers. In May 2010, in an interview with Pro Football Weekly he said " it would be fun to be playing in Green Bay. I love Aaron Rodgers and what he does for the Packers."
Favre is a different case all together, you can read all about him on this forum. At least if he gets into the Packer Hall of Dame, its 13 years after he left like Lofton because I'll be dead by then and won't have to see it. LOL...I can just see Farve saying "I love Aaron Rodgers...."

I dont recall Lombardi obsessing over getting back at the Packers. Or taking nude pictures of himself and sending them to someone other than Marie.
Just like every other old person, he is headed to Arizona
Seems to me that he's trying to show a little class."I can sit here and thank over and over again so many people, but I'd be remiss if I didn't thank the Green Bay Packers, the fans. It's kind of tough to say that and thank Vikings fans at the same time. It was special, and so . . . wonderful experience, wouldn't change it for anything, and it was special. I don't know what else to say."
Favre says he has reached the finish line once again - JSOnline
Pretending to care so that the team that you are identified with will acknowledge you when you tried to screw them over...that's not classy at all.Seems to me that he's trying to show a little class.
Too late for that since there is nothing ever classy about:
1) Wanting to get back at the Pack with revenge in mind by going to the Yikes!
2) Sending uninvited pics of his **** to a girl.
3) Wearing crocs while nude.
I am sooooooo happy that NewAwlins was the beginning of the end of this loser.
And I'm also really glad that it was the Bears who finished his career once and for all.
