Have Packers Fans Forgiven Favre?

For some, Brett Favre's move to the Minnesota Vikings was a big shock,
but now that it's actually happened -- and he's got a few games under
his belt -- have fans forgiven the man that was once their hero? Marc

Wow. The bitch tells someone else to get over it because it's been 3 years yet he responded to a month old comment just to have a bitch-fest about it and then walk away. Way to end your little crying spree with remarks that resemble the maturity of a 5-year-old. You make me glad you're not a Packers fan.

@GreenDay1981 I have seen it, he does not say "I'm just surprised it took him so long" he says "I'm surprised he didn't do it sooner" BIG DIFFERENCE. And the charities thing proves he isn't selfish, which is what you called him. If someone is selfish, that means they only care about themselves, meaning they don't give anybody anything. Damn, you need to put your head in hot water and grow a brain. Don't respond, I'm done with you, go fuck your mother and walk into on coming traffic, cunt.

[GreenDay1981]

@WarEagle140 You are full of shit. If Favre mentored Rodgers, don't you think Rodgers would be kissing Favre's ass after winning the Super Bowl? And if Favre mentored him so much, why did he not call him to congratulate him? Another thing Favre said was that Rodgers "fell into a good situation". I suppose you think THAT is a compliment too? Sounds more like an excuse to me. Still think they have a good bond? LMAO!! I'm done with you little Favre fanboy. You are hopeless.

[GreenDay1981]

@WarEagle140 Dipshit. That was an exact quote from Favre. Look it up if you don't believe me. You don't know shit. Every article about those comments called Favre's "compliments" backhanded. Who cares what charities Favre has? What does it have to do with his attitude as a player? Suh gave a shitload of money to the University Of Nebraska. Doesn't mean he isn't an asshole on the field.

[WarEagle140]

@GreenDay1981 do you think tom brady is an ass hole, he said basically the same thing about not having to mentor.. the only difference, after 2005, FAVRE DID MENTOR, RODGERS SAID IT FROM HIS "OWN BIG MOUTH SO EAT SHIT"

[WarEagle140]

@GreenDay1981 he NEVER said that second part. He said, "I'm just surprised he didn't do it sooner." that is a COMPLIMENT meaning Rodgers and the Packers are SO GOOD, that he thought they would win the super bowl in 2008 or 2009. How is that being a jerk? please explain, oh wise one.

[WarEagle140]

@GreenDay1981 what do you expect Driver to say "i liked playing with favre better" please, that would cause disaster in the locker room... Driver said what he had to say to keep the team happy and avoid any tension. You know damn well Driver loves Favre and if you don't, well I wouldn't be surprised, you are fucking retarded

[GreenDay1981]

@WarEagle140 From Favre's own big mouth, "There's nothing in my contract that says I have to mentor Rodgers." and "The talent around him is much better than when I was there. I'm just surprised it took him so long." Yeah clearly he's not an asshole at all. Oh, and your little claim that Rodgers didn't make an effort with Favre is wrong too. He called Favre after his first unretirement and Favre never returned the call so eat shit.

[WarEagle140]

@GreenDay1981 if hes so selfish then why does he donate millions to charities, is part of the make a wish foundation, gave part of his paycheck back to the pack the last few seasons he was a packer so they could get better players or pay other guys more to keep them, and has NEVER demanded a pay increase. You talk about Favre and his "dick pics" that he was never proven guilty for that must mean you think chmura is a rapist even tho he wasn't proven guilty tho it did end up causing him to retire

[WarEagle140]

@GreenDay1981 it was actually while it was taking place, the interview was shown before favre and the vikes played at lambeau in 09.. try again. Keep digging dude, keep digging. You're just coming off as a complete dumbass and it's quite hysterical.

[GreenDay1981]

@WarEagle140 You want to post quotes? I can do that too. Mark Chmura: "People who don't think that it's all about him are fooling themselves. He's a selfish guy. He's a very selfish guy." The person who posted those quotes likes Favre and doesn't like Chmura but agreed with what Chmura said. Donald Driver: "I played with two quarterbacks. One just went out there and did what he did and wasn't patient at all. Aaron takes what the defense gives him and that's the type of guy you want."

[GreenDay1981]

@WarEagle140 No, retard. The interview where Rodgers said him and Favre don't talk was after he won the Super Bowl because they talked about the Super Bowl win in the same interview. So no, you don't have the facts. Type in "Favre won't speak to Rodgers" in whatever search engine you use and read the transcript from when Rodgers was on the Michael Irvin radio program. Then try telling me they had a good bond.

[WarEagle140]

@GreenDay1981 watch this, and in advanced "I told you so" nfl.com/videos/nfl-super-bowl/­09000d5d81e285aa/Sunday-Sitdow­n-Aaron-Rodgers

[WarEagle140]

@GreenDay1981 You are such a fag, I said when Rodgers said him and Favre don't talk, it was right after, actually during, the whole mess in 2008 was going down, not about winning the super bowl. See? I do have the facts, you are just so damn clueless that you can't see it.. Your stupidity is appalling.

[WarEagle140]

@GreenDay1981 Robert Brooks "Favre is the greatest QB to ever play the game, if anyone disputes that, whether they are old school or new school, they're crazy" Donald Driver when Favre was trying to come back to the Packers in 2008 "I'm happy," veteran receiver Donald Driver said. "I'm excited. It's good to have him back in the house." And again, in an interview before the super bowl, Rodgers said Favre gave him tons of advice and he wouldnt be where he is now (the super bowl) without favre..

[WarEagle140]

@GreenDay1981 "For weeks, football analysts asked why the Packers didn't simply accept Favre back and let him compete against Rodgers. Egos seemed to get in the way of logic. Last season, Favre had one of his best seasons, throwing for 4,155 yards and leading the Packers to the NFC Championship Game... The key concession Sunday was the Packers' willingness to let him compete against Rodgers. That's what Favre wanted all along

[WarEagle140]

@GreenDay1981 omg, you are such a fucking moron.. do you seriously NOT remember that whole interview by both Favre AND McCarthy or any of the news stories that covered it? Here is a quote from the article on ESPN from 2008 (continued on next post)

[GreenDay1981]

@WarEagle140 Favre gave Rodgers no advice whatsoever. How is that helping him? Oh, and Rodgers won the Super Bowl in Favre's final NFL season which was 2 years after leaving the Jets, moron. See? You don't have the facts.

[GreenDay1981]

@WarEagle140 What does Rodgers need to call Favre up for? To ask him if he sent out anymore dick pics? Rodgers makes an effort. His own teammates have said he's a friendly guy and asks everyone for their cell phone numbers so he can keep in touch with them. Do I need to bring up Mark Chmura's remarks about Favre again? I would take the word of a guy who actually played with Favre than that of some Favre fanboy who clearly doesn't have the facts.

[WarEagle140]

@GreenDay1981 and you left out the fact that you were wrong about favre not helping rodgers... just sayin...and i think calling to let someone know "hey, we're trading you to the jets" is bigger than saying congrats on your super bowl, which favre said he wasn't surprised and said rodgers is a great qb and the packers are a great team... but yea what a jackass, who calls someone a great qb and a team great? how unclassy......................­..

[WarEagle140]

@GreenDay1981 that was right after favre got traded. and i don't see rodgers calling brett or making any effort himself... wonder why you are having a double standard here...

[GreenDay1981]

@WarEagle140 What a load of shit. Favre would never have a QB challenge with anyone. When he came out of retirement the first time, he demanded his starting spot back. Not asked for, not requested, DEMANDED. Does that sound like someone willing to give someone else a fair chance? You just can't bring yourself to admit that Favre was a selfish egotistical asshole so you make up a bunch of bullshit that never happened to try and make him look good. How sad.

[GreenDay1981]

@WarEagle140 Oh yeah they have such a good bond but when Rodgers was asked what kind of relationship he has with Favre, his exact response was, "I have none. We don't talk." Yeah, real strong bond there. Speaking of without so much as a phone call, explain why Favre didn't call Rodgers up to congratulate him on winning the Super Bowl. Afterall, they have such a strong bond, right? Maybe YOU should learn the facts.

[WarEagle140]

@GreenDay1981 i bet you also didn't know favre said, to be fair to rodgers, that they can have a QB challenge and at first thompson agreed but then an hour later said no. Why? cuz he knew who would win and he knew the guy he wanted would have lost. Your story is a myth, and a myth is just a bunch of false, inaccurate, make believe theories.

[WarEagle140]

@GreenDay1981 did you watch the interview before the super bowl by rodgers who said after that first year him and favre built a good bond and favre taught him a lot and if it wasn't for favre rodgers said he wouldn't be where he is today... but yea, what an asshole right? giving everything you got to a team who tosses you out on your ass the first chance they get without so much as a phone call. maybe you should learn your facts before spewing ignorant rants, dumb piece of shit.
