Comments on: Packers Fans – Hasn’t Favre Already Won? http://www.nflgridirongab.com/2009/07/11/packers-fans-hasn%e2%80%99t-favre-already-won/ Are you ready for some football?

I believe their contract is up in 2011, so the smart money will be on the moving trucks arriving in 2011. Super Bowl or not the Minnesota Vikings are doomed. GB may be losing one of its icons, but MN will be losing their entire team. The real question is whether the Vikings leave Minnesota in 2010 or 2011.

This year will be nothing more than a minor footnote in Favre's career. L.A. Packers? I guess Minnesota fans don't spend much time reading their local news. Last time I checked your team was the one looking for a new stadium, the Packers already have one. Favre makes the Vikings temporarily attractive for a sale and a move to L.A. Perhaps Minnesotans should lose their obsession with Wisconsin teams and worry about their own state. After all you people elected Al Franken. No wonder the state bird is a loon! Go Pack!!

Sigan Sun, 12 Jul 2009 19:25:56 +0000 http://www.nflgridirongab.com/?p=9782#comment-268643 As a life long Packer fan and ticket holder I am sickened by the classless way the Favre affair was handled. I will never desire a Packer victory untill TT & MM are fired off into the ash heap of history where they belong. Disgusting debris, they deserve the life long distinction of having perpetrated the worst retiring of a franchise star in all of sports. As stated above, if you did not want him fine but do not keep him from the game. Favre did not retire he was forced out by TT, he was given the walking paper cold shoulder for some time. I love Brett and find myself in the position of being a Viking fan and can't wait for Favre to lead an appreciative team to the promised land. It is also wonderful to think that the Vikings have to use a Packer to finally win at the big dance. Regardless of what Favre does I will never root for Green Bay until TT is gone. Never. I despise him with a passion reserved for no one else. As a life long Packer fan and ticket holder I am sickened by the classless way the Favre affair was handled.

First and lastly; all Green Bay had to do when Favre decided he wanted to unretire, was give him his UNCONDITIONAL RELEASE when they decided Rodgers was their man. The Packers stated clearly: "The train has left the station." This was their right. But they offered Favre 20 mil (I'll take it!) to be the "face" of the Packers or worse offered him a clipboard to hold when Rodgers starts (Classless. His stats for that year were terrific.). They had NO right to tell Favre he wasn't their guy anymore then refuse to let him go play for ANY team that wanted him. Look at the Packers history; they tend to do that with their "legends." Even Lombardi left to be the GM in Washington. Do some research, Vince was basically forced out of their as well. Rodgers was their guy; choice made and that's cool. BUT....Thompson should've let him go and ALL this would NEVER have happened. If Favre couldn't bring it anymore; why was Thompson so afraid to release him? No Randy Moss and no high impact free-agent-pickup when you have LOADS of cap money. I'm not saying throw money to the wind but he could've upgraded the team that way as well as the the draft. THESE things are whet infuriate Packers fans. If Ron Wolf was still around the Favre saga and all that I've mentioned would never havde happened.

Do your research before opening your mouth. Favre made the Packers what they were for a few years of a 90 year history-not what they are today.

For all of you who have the so called ownership try to get some cash for it now or when the pack dies. Favre made the pack what it is today. Ted has lost and will continue to lose. A Rod as you call him will not be a Brett Favre. Being a packer fan does not make you football or business smart. So sit out in the parking lot and moon the players bus when it arrives just like you did to Moss. Sit back and watch the vikes kick your butt. From a Jet Fan. To the so called owners of the pack.

The Packers are the only team in the NFL that will never move. Can never move. They are owned by the community of Green Bay and will be there long after Brett Favre is only remembered as a Packer.

Apparently many are not capable of understanding that. You sit and blame Thompson over something Favre did to himself. You never were a Packer fan to begin with.
