[QUOTE="Oannes, post: 150352, member: 816"] from Packersnews.com To his face, I would tell Favre to keep talking. But there was a point in my column last week about his "rambling." Packers chairman Bob Harlan used one Favre utterance following the 2000 season — "This is the best team chemistry we've had since I've been here" — to help build a case for Mike Sherman to become both coach and general manager, and that was a mistake. Favre sometimes says things that shouldn't be taken at face value. Did he really think the 9-7 Packers in 2000 had better team chemistry than the Super Bowl teams in 1996 and 1997? I doubt it. In the excitement of a four-game win streak to close out the 2000 season, he likely was using hyperbole to emphasize the team was coming together. Remember Favre's comment last summer about the 2006 Packers having more talent than any team he played on in Green Bay? Trust me, Favre didn't mean last year's team was better than the Packers of the mid-1990s. Again, he was exaggerating to make a point. There's nothing wrong with that, as long as listeners don't take every comment literally. +++ Usually agree with MV and this time I most certainly do, even though his initials are worse than Vernon Davis'. Who wants the same initials as the MINNESOTA VIKINGS? So, you want to go further off topic...??... By the way, I think this will be met with a thunderous roar.... I'm going to be pretty scarce around here for awhile. Wife just found out she's pregnant with our 3rd. Lots of issues there. I'm thrilled though! [/QUOTE]
