Message: <blockquote data-quote="Clay&#039;s Jock Strap" data-source="post: 273976" data-attributes="member: 1977">People who want to draw parallels to how favre left the team versus other former greats omit one big factor - none of the others connived to go to our fiercest rival to "stick it" to the Packers out of revenge for not getting things exactly as he wanted them.  I still think that had favre handled everything professionally and above board like an adult, he'd have been dealt with much differently.  Ted maybe even would have allowed him to go play for the Vikings (if that is what he really wanted) so long as the queens were willing to pony up some compensation.But that isn't how brett did it.  He chose to wage a nasty PR campaign against the team that basically split the fan base down the middle and caused a huge distraction for the team to recover from.  All comparisons to other former Packer greats who split with the team at the ends of their careers begin and end right there with me.  It isn't that brett left or even that he wanted to play for the Vikings - it is about how he went about conducting his business.  It reminds me of a nasty divorce where one of the parents wants to win at all costs and will use the children as a pawn to get what they want - and here the children were the Packers' fan base.I'll never accept brett's actions as okay and I don't think I am even close to alone on this.</blockquote>
