[QUOTE="neilfii, post: 389898, member: 3821"] Favre is a huge part of Packer history. Time will heal all wounds and hopefully objectivity can be restored and we can all admit the positive things Favre did for the team and for our heritage and tradition. That being said, I think the media is as much or more to blame than is Favre. It is the media that gives him the platform to interject himself into the public spotlight. The separation of Favre and the Packers has often been likened to a divorce; and I think rightly so, because it is far more emotion than it is logic. The media keeps adding fuel to the fire because it brings viewers, readers, clicks whatever. It seems like the media wants Packer fans to hate Favre. and wants Favre to continue to give the fans reason to hate him, because that generates interest, thus stories, thus coverage, thus revenue. Raptorman, in answer to your request I would simply say, Favre could have said something as simple as "I think Aaron's performance speaks for itself and I wish him and the Packers nothing but the best." If that doesn't work for you (because this is a debate you will never lose because you will always have some "explanation" that is as without merit as the animosity of the fans because the truth is none of us can or will ever truly know and we can play the "Well if he said, _____, you all would just say _____" game all day long without either side ever being able to PROVE the truth of their comments) I would say he could have simply followed the advice my parents gave me growing up: "Son, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."
