@r3v3r3nd2008 haha aint luck when you have a GM like ted thompson

[r3v3r3nd2008]

@Damico07 lucky you and Clay Matthews ;P

@r3v3r3nd2008 there is no I in team...brett favre USED to play like that....but a year before and the years after the packers he was ALL OF THAT....either way the packers rode him like a 2 dollar whore thru the good years...traded him....which turned into Clay Mathews...holler...and won the SB....Brett the last few years has been selfish and not a team player.....i agree with you that at points he was....but a season is 16 games long....not nearly enough heart at the end of his career

[r3v3r3nd2008]

@Damico07 dont even try to put Brett in Moss's category as a cancer... Moss is arrogant, selfish, and is not a good leader at all...

Brett has been everything you could want in a leader. In the past couple years, yea, he shouldve made better choices and just stayed retired..but for 15+ years he was the prototype of professional

[Damico07]

@TheE3Guy Brett is in the same class as Moss they are locker room cancers...

@TheE3Guy Favre took the viks to the nfc champ. last year. If it was not for the "best back in the league" ha ha good chance they would have gone the big game as well. Better than Favre though? He has a long list of records to overcome before i would make that statement
