Me personally? Yes and No. I can definitely see how you would view it that way and many others. By no means that is wrong. I know with myself, personally. I've had some arguments/grudges per se against an individual near the top of an organization that I wanted to 'get back at'. But, I didn't have any ill will toward anybody else in the organization really. I mean I know it is my own case, and my own feelings. And I suppose even in my own case, in an extension, it was having ill feelings toward the organization by the whole.
Sure Brett had problems with Ted since 2005 when Rodgers was drafted. It was clear Brett was unhappy then. So obviously they had problems. There were times when Brett and MM didn't get along to well, but by the 2007 season, they were gelling (obviously because they were winning), but the whole time it was clear that he really only had a problem with Ted. I still believe that, maybe McCarthy too and Murphy. But, I didn't see him being bitter toward anybody else. And yes by extension it is against the Packers. But, that is the irrationality of a feud and a grudge. It is irrational, but I don't think that was his intent. He doesn't have any ill will towards the fans. The fans were heavily behind Brett at first (thought that quickly dwindled), but I can't see him have any bad feelings toward a huge majority of the players or the fans.
Everything is a result of people being irrational. Brett went about it the wrong way and became a drama queen. Screwed things up, wanted his revenge on a couple of people, but it made him look horrible (rightfully so). But it doesn't change the fact he didn't really do anything horrible. He never harmed or hurt me in anyway. He never hurt the organization really. They moved on, went 6-10 the first year with 5 close losses, then 11-5 and make the playoffs. The 3rd year they are Super Bowl champions. Only the Steelers and Saints (and now the Packers) have won the Super Bowl since Brett left....that is pretty darn good for GB

I guess I don't care as much as others, but what was done...was done. Here we are now. The organization much better off, for the future especially. He didn't set fire to the stadium, didn't hold back the franchise for more than a couple of months. The man never quit on the team. As long as he was on the team, he tried his *** off. As much as he sucked in the playoffs that last 5 or 6 years in GB....he never quit on the team. And he played every single game once he made his first start. I appreciate that. You just don't brush that under the rug.
. Your friends can act like jackasses sometimes...doesn't mean you hate them. Doesn't mean you are against them. Also doesn't mean you have to be for what they are doing.
