[QUOTE="profile_removed, post: 287220, member: 2086"] [FONT=Georgia]Here's the question I want alot of people to answer for me, and I'll give you insight and logic into my side of this argument so here goes:[/FONT] Why is the Brett Favre situation Brett's fault and NOT Ted's? Let's look at what happened: Ted drafted Aaron. That'd be like any of you ladies coming home and having your husbands say 'hey honey meet my knew lady' or you guys having your wives say 'meet my new man'. Now I ask you...how would YOU have handled yourself in that situation? Not as well as Brett I'm guessing. THEN Ted goes and says 'Well Brett obviously won't be here forever and we have to plan for that'. Which to me would sound like "My wife/husband is dying, and we'll move you in the day after it happens". Again, how many of you would do well with hearing that? Then Aaron comes out in training camp and makes a comment about Brett not being there when Aaron was a rookie and should be keeping his mouth shut and learning...Ted and Mike do nothing. Now I don't know about you, but if it's me and I'm Favre I'm thinking 'The fix is IN'. You're then asked/told to basically train your replacement. Think about this...guys would you train your wife's new husband. Ladies, would you train your husband's new wife? We then start hearing more and more about Brett not coming to OTA and such...I believe because Ted was trying to turn the media against Favre and boot him out of Green Bay. This is something we've only heard in passing in year's prior, yet now seems to be a major event. Or it could be construed as if we want to stick with the domestic angle 'she had dinner made 5 minutes late last week'. Brett loses his Dad prior to Aaron being drafted, Deanna is diagnosed with cancer and loses his brother in law sometime between his father's death and 3/4/07, not sure of the time frame though so can't place things perfectly into alignment so I won't...but through that...one constant for Brett was US! 70,000 KNOWLEDGEABLE lunatics at Lambeau Field, and stadiums all around the country where in most cases half of the stadium was filled with people just like us screaming for him through the good and the bad and why?
