[QUOTE="Bogart, post: 397098, member: 3900"] I know, I live around them sadly. Even after winning the Super Bowl I have to hear how we screwed him, and I'm like WOW how can you still take his side when they won the Super Bowl getting rid of him? No answer. Just "You screwed him into retirement blah blah blah" Even if the Packers 'forced Brett into retirement" I like to look at it form a love perspective. The 49ers talked Steve Young into retirement after his final concussion because they feared he would get another one and possibly life threatening injuries. Young was a fighter too, he didn't want to retire. Troy Aikman has admitted he didn't want to retire, but Jerry Jones insisted he retire after all the injuries he was taking. Both of these guys retired, and they didn't want to. They could have came back and probably found a starting job with another team, but they both had the same thing Favre had (well Aikman had more) and that was Super Bowl rings. No need to come back and risk your body. Unlike them, Favre didn't go through such hell of injury plagues as they did, which is understandable, but I still thing if you view it from the love perspective, they were going to retire Favre's jersey right away, you can't say the Packers started hating him right away like his fans do. I think Brett looked at is as a "me against them" perspective when the Packers just wanted to close the door of his legacy, and instead he screwed it up. I may have found love for this team because of the man, but I just couldn't follow him. I grew up watching my family stay angry at the Saints for letting good players go that they loved. My father had a Rickey Jackson jersey when I was young, and you can believe he was angry seeing them trade him and then he go and win a Super Bowl with the 49ers, but he still was a Saints fan. Sam Mills, Morten Andersen, Pat Swilling, all great players went to play for other teams and my family was still fans of the Saints even through all those bad years in the 1990's. I learned love for a team watching my folks still pull for the Saints through all the hell they went through. [/QUOTE]
