[QUOTE="TJV, post: 616155, member: 4300"] IMO E. Wolf's posting on Favre is way over the top. But IMO fans should be careful posting about the perspective of fanatics regarding a game and players they aren't involved in or know personally. For example, my disdain for Favre is in direct proportion to my admiration for Aaron Rodgers. If I should damper my disdain for one, should I also damper my admiration and appreciation for the play and character of the other? And if the perspective argument is taken towards its logical conclusion, how would you justify all the time and passion spent on a game and players, neither of which you are involved in or know personally? I think it’s fair to say nearly everyone who posts here regularly can be classified as a Packers [I]fanatic[/I]. If you are saying the actions of a player against the team that made him rich and famous shouldn’t affect the respect the fans of that team have for that player, I disagree. And I would appreciate it if you could list every player that has done the same thing. And if you think that just means going from one team to another, you are attempting to re-write history. I’m not going to post much about Favre. I’m not going to forgive him until he sincerely asks to be forgiven and since that hasn’t happened to date, my guess is it never will. Much of my posting about Favre has been to correct the record when posters misstate what took place in 2008 and thereafter (actually even back to 2002, if you understand that reference). For me, I am excited for TC to begin and the more Favre fades into the background after this year, the better. [/QUOTE]
