[QUOTE="Bogart, post: 449090, member: 3900"] Just excuses cause people still hate him, but at the end of the day we all loved him when he played for us. As for the whole painkiller thing, that's old, old, old news. If that's a reason to hate him might as well dig up something from the 90's. Brett gets blamed for nearly every game we ever lost back in the day and not all of them were his fault; for starters the Super Bowl against Denver, defense let Terrell Davis have a field day. I'm even going to go into rough territory here and say the 2007 NFC Championship. Yeah he did blow it, but did anyone think about a running game? Where was it at? Our running game was crap in that game, and the game was basically all on him, while the Giants had a much better day running it. Did I hate it when he played for Minnesota? Yes Did I root against him in 2009? Yes again But also, did he not win the MVP 3 times on our team? Did he not set records and was very fun to watch? Favre made me a Packer fan when I was young, and now that he's retired, I don't look back and cringe and think how much I hate him when I see all my old Score and Topps cards that I treasured, nor do I look at it and think of who would have been better, but I have to wonder. Had Favre played elsewhere instead of Minnesota his last few years, maybe even an AFC team, I have to wonder if all this would happen with his former fans. At the end of the day, he failed to win a championship for Minnesota and will go down as giving the Saints a trip to the super bowl (bounty business or not, turnovers, turnovers, turnovers, no excuse for that interception at the end), and that is what happened. He got a ring with us, didn't get one for them. I also have more respect for him in current times than I do a majority of players, cause during the whole bounty crap surrounding the Saints, while Vikings players are saying how bad they beat him down and gave him the beating of his career, Favre didn't say a thing damning about them, he just said it was football, you're going to get hit. At least he had the class to admit it instead of being a baby about losing to a better team. Yes I think he deserves his number retired. [/QUOTE]
