This is my take on Packer fans: are we the biggest bunch of whiners in the NFL? Come on now, seriously folks, do we need to produce more cheese for all of our whine? This entire Brett Favre saga has had me really thinking, and if I were an outsider looking in, I would have to concure with my own evaluation so far. Dump Ted, bring Favre back, the fans own the team...blah blah blah!! First of all, the fans, the city, the shareholders, none of them own the team, PERIOD. Yes, the Packers may be a team that has now owner, but if you think for two seconds that as a fan or resident of the city of GB you have even a small say in what happens with the Packers regarding football operations........think again!! Even someone who has multiple shares of this team has no say, sure they can go to sharholder meetings and feel important, but next time your at a shareholders meeting, try telling the organization to make a trade for another player you like better. If they dont laugh at you then, they sure as hell wil be once they are alone. Does anyone who is NOT wearing the rose-colored Brett FAvre glasses remember March 3, 2008? Anyone? Wait a second, that was the day Brett Favre retired, my bad. How about te reports that he wanted to come back a few weeks later and at the 11th hour re-retired. What on earth does this oraganization owe him now? Is he not a millionaire and a stud superstar because of the GB Packers? Is his family not completely taken care of for generations to come? What do we owe him? I say Nothing!!! Sure I bleed green and gold and loved Brett Favre, but I am also an educated man with my head on straight. he retired, not once, but twice. Has he filed his paperwork yet to return? Whoops, sorry, no again. Why not? He says he is 100% committed, so why not just file the papers and say look, Im in it to win it, lets play some football Ted and Mike!! You want to know how fast he would be back in GB if that were the case? Tomorrow!! I think we all need to take a step back and think.......15 years ago had this been a GM by an other name, we would have named a street after him after last season, along with talent he has assembled on the field, today, we want to hang with with a short rope on a tall tree. Are you kidding me? Yes, Favre had a fantastic year last year, but is that a guarantee he will have an equally impressive season this year? I just think we are showing the world that we are nothing but idiots and come football season, this will remain a huge distraction, but not to the team or the players on the team, but to the fans, the ones who will find fault in every teensie-weensie little mistake this year that Rodgers makes, and again we will be laughing stocks to the world when you idiots start chanting.......bring Brett Back, Bring Brett Back, Bring Brett Back.
