“I was extremely fortunate to work under a future hall-of-famer for three years and I learned a lot from Brett. I know I will never replace his legacy in Green Bay, but I will work as hard as possible to make the Packers a championship team again, and I believe I have the potential to do just that. I would like to reconnect with Brett on a personal level some day, but I realize he has his own family and team commitments that keep him pretty busy these days.”

I know Rodgers is young and inexperienced in dealing with the media, but he’s made quite a few statements already that make you wonder whether anyone is advising him at all.

“I play for Green Bay. Brett does not. I have no further comments”.

Then the ‘Korn-holers” (great nickname there Ron) of the world might stop asking about it.

Like many of the anti-Favres, I think Rodgers needs to move on. He had a great season in his first year as a starter, far exceeding everyone’s expectations. Yet it appears he still has some psychological hurdles to overcome, and his late-game struggles have only added to the burden. There’s no need to rehash the past. Hopefully Rodgers can use the offseason to get away from it all and come back with a fresh outlook for 2009.

This isn’t about Brett anymore.

But, I’m puzzled. You said “he and his family” Does that include his wife and children?

As well as fighting and conquering breast cancer, Deanna Favre has helped so many women with the same disease. Surely your animus towards her husband does not extend to a woman who supports and aids other women with this heartbreaking illness.
I hope not. Given what he meant to the Packers, it’s sad that you harbor such negativity towards Favre. I guess this means you’ve awarded the Packers Org. a free pass in the whole “mess” and that’s your right.

Thank-you for taking the time to reply.

Were you somewhere else for the past year and missed all of the reasons why people have turned on him? He has lied repeatedly over the past year and gone out of his way to embarrass the Packers as a way of sticking it to TT in a childish feud. From saying in his retirement press conference that this had nothing to do with TT or MM, “and thats from the heart” to changing his tune that they “forced” his decision in March. As if its totally reasonable to wait until late June or July to decide if he wants to come back or not. His decision to treat GB fans as if they are nothing after 16+ years of support is astonishing. The same fans who bought anything that he or his family put out over the years.
