The gradual descent into utter madness, caused by his rage over an event that didn’t even happen. There are some parallels there.

I understand how, from his point of view, he holds a grudge against management. They (he would say) tried to push him out the door, and when he broke down and said he would retire, but then changed his mind, they refused to take him back on his terms. I put more of the blame on him than on management, but he is not totally off base in assigning some blame to management.

But for him to hope the Bears beat the Packers is for him to hope all his ex-teammates get knocked out of the playoffs. Driver, Woodson, Jennings, Clifton, and many others. Obviously, when you play your old team, you are trying to beat them. But after your team is knocked out? To hope all your ex-teammates get knocked out, too? I can’t remember a player ever saying something like that. Can any of you? If so, I might hold this against him less. My impression is that just the opposite is the norm. “Since we got knocked out, I am rooting for all my old teammates to go the Super Bowl.” That sort of thing. Anybody have any examples?

Do you think there weren’t these types of discussion about Randy Moss when he played in MN (the first time)?

If my usual eloquence was found wanting..mea maxima culpa. ‘Tis the holiday season, I felt a mite giddy and just couldn’t resist joshing the fervent Cheeseheads re Favre. And it reaped the predictible responses. Their obsession with the former QB is utterly fascinating and totally intriguing. A true love/hate relationship.

They do not want him..but cannot let him go. Parsing everything he says, seeking slights and affronts against their team.

At the moment I’m not following any team. I’m simply enjoying the game of football. I wish the Geeks and the Packers good luck and most importantly, good health.

..and Sister Evarista has already forgiven my insupportable lapse.

Causa Finita..:)

I have long believed, and there have been recent archeological discoveries which verify, that there is a new branch of the human family tree which descended from the neanderthal. The majority of this branch originally settled in northern Europe 70k to 80k years ago. It is my belief that most of the descendents of this group have failed to evolve and have migrated, along with many other Northern Europeans, to the upper mid-west of the U.S., including Green Bay. My study of this site is part of my larger study into the primitive minds of this newly recognized branch of the human family tree.

Here is a link which you may want to look at for more info, if you believe that you are capable of grasping the information:

Packer fans aren’t too bright. They can’t even define the term dufus. Should you have intended to point that remark toward me: If that is the best response that you can come up with, you provide an excellent example of the simple, narrow minded Packer fans that I encounter on a regular basis and make my case for me. Thank you!

Oh, by the way, when the NFL Newwork selected the Top 100 Players of All Time, Dick Butkus was #10, your bald avatar is #47.

You’ve got your own troll.

Campbell, (you’re not the troll BTW) that is about the least eloquent thing I’ve ever read from you. Congratulations dude, didn’t know you had it in you to speak down to our level. The Sisters would not be pleased.

You know the Pack did not unceremoniously dump Favre. It was a bad situation which both sides could have handled a little better but at least the organizatioon did not “go to Greta”. Hindsight being 20/20 I wish the Pack had just traded him to MN at the onset.

I used to love him, then I hated him. Now I only pity him. I don’t think it’s possible for him to have ended hos career in a more humiliating fashion.

Although I do enjoy that it was my man Corey Wootton that ended it for him.
