would just shut the 17 up. He was a great player and everything, but damn, he is acting like Ron Polk. He thinks the Packers are hurting their "legacy" more than he is hurting his. What a damned baby. He needs to take his wranglers to oak grove and retire, never to be heard from again. I'm tired of seeing his 17n *** in the news. Drunken rant over. Now bring on LaTech.
I wish Brett Favre

...he's healthy, he's got a loving family, he's got acres and acres of hay to bush-hog. He grew old in last year's NFC championship game. Even with him, the Pack was the youngest team in the NFL.
Aaron Rodgers may be the final piece of the puzzle in leading the Pack back to the Super Bowl. When Favre went down in the Dallas game, Rodgers came in did a pretty good job.
The only teams that need a QB as a final piece of the puzzle are Minnesota and Chicago, both teams in the same division.
Oh, and Joe Namath, Johnny Unitas, and Joe Montana did REEEEEAAAALL well with their new teams.

I have more respect in the world for Brett Farve than just about any other pro athlete, but come on Brett you're being unfair. I can understand the fact that he wants to come back and play, I'm sure when you play the game that long it is hard to finally walk away for good, but he's got to see it from the Packers perspective. He retires, so they begin to move on, name their new starting quaterback and the future of their team. Then Brett comes along a few months later and is like well guys, i changed my mind. It throws a kink in the Packers whole operation for the next year.
him do what he wants. You can tell that the pack didnt want him back, and he may not have "really" been ready to retire. He said he is fine with them moving on and if they want to then let him go or trade him. Its been handled ****** on both sides...i cant blame him if he still wants to play and feels trapped...damn, it would be hard for me to give it up too especially when i just had the best year of my career....
the packers have the rights to him. They can do what they want. They sure shouldn't just release him, and they have said there have been no trade inquiries. Players don't get to call the shots. If they want you on the bench, then you either stay retired or sit the bench. This is a business.
to play for someone else. But with that being said, there is no way Favre, if in a Packer's uniform, doesn't take the first snap on the first weekend.
MS Southern. he could do like Polk and be a "volunteer" coach. or hell he could help them recruit. he would still be a part of football but just not playing. i know for a fact that if he were a State grad that I would want him to help us.
Favre is the one who retired. The Packers contacted him a month after he retired to see if he wanted to reconsider and he said no. So they made their plans to move on without him, including spending a good bit of the salary cap money he freed up when he retired. Now he wants to unretire a few weeks before training camp. This gives them serious salary cap trouble that could have been avoided. Not to mention that they run the risk of losing Aaron Rogers when he becomes eligible for free agency if they keep dicking him around. They can't reasonably be expected to just release him so he can go play for the Vikings or Bears, so they've done the only thing they can really do. Bring him back as the backup and try to deal him somewhere where he can do them the least damage, preferably in the AFC. I do agree with dawgstudent that if he is on the team when the season starts, he'll probably be the starter, if not in the first game, then soon thereafter.
after Spurrier bombed out in the pros he wanted to go back to Florida? But then he changed his mind because they told him he would have to go through the interview cycle?
A lot of athletes and coaches are so consumed with their egos they are out of touch with the real world.

Byrne and the Packers are running businesses. They can do what they want.
Is Favre likely the best QB this year? Probably. But the Packers, thanks to Favre, made a conscious decision to move forward and now they are preparing for the future and grooming Rogers.
