Farve is so hell-bent on getting back at TT for what?.....comming in here and turning around a TEAM that was ALMOST run into the ground by Mike Sherman and a poor decision by Bob Harlan. For Gods sake who does BF think he is.... the GM?... REQUESTING that TT sign aging OL Marco Rivera and past his time Mike Whale, sign a guy that took a good team in San Fran and slowly drove it into the dirt...Steve Mariuchi.... hey I like him also ... but head coach ... Not!... and to bring a wide reciever that flat out DISRESPECTED the fans of Green Bay by mooning them..... all REQUESTED by God.... err I mean Farve.....I commend TT for saying .... hay you dont run this TEAM ..... the GM does.....look at us ... the youngest Team in the league .... 3yrs running and .... they look pretty good to me with a new QB.... just wait till this TEAM gels this fall...I can't help but think what might have been if Rodgers was in the situation Farve was in in the Giant game.......maybe a Superbowl for the Pack.....I'll take a Game Manager everytime over a Gunslinger......so in short.... Brett could'nt handle someone finally telling him ... NO!..... Childish at best!!....Go pack!! I am totally disgusted by this development in the TT vs. Farve saga.

If Farve did this he will make his typical good ole boy excuse, "All we did was talk about hunting". Brett Farve is like the John Wayne of Football, people think he's greater than he really is and he's not on Elway's Staubach, or Bradshaw's level as a QB.

I don't want his number retired ever. To be honest, it is almost more embarrassing for us fans who were blind to his diva bullshit all along. We didn't want to see what was right in front of our eyes, namely, that he was a self-obsessed, arrogant, dick who knowingly coasted on his undeserved reputation of being an aw shucks wholesome feller from the holler was always only playing for the fun. Naw brah... he was always playing for the ONE, for B. Favre. He never reached out to rookies, never taught anyone, never showed true leadership in terms of helping to create team chemistry or showing what a professional does by accepting valid criticism from his coaches. Naw, he was always above that. And now he's above simple codes of decency. And of course he'll lie about it all some more. I thought it was petty to wish him bad luck after he left the Packers. Now I'll gladly accept the lower draft pick the G will get if the Jets tank. Oh yeah, and Woodson, warrior. As for Driver. . . I understand this longing for him to cut the cord, too. But why not cut him some slack? For all the punishment Favre caused him throwing high hot ones up the middle, hasn't he suffered enough for Brett? Let "no comment" be sufficient. Indeed, he's displaying precisely the trait that Favre fails at so fabulously, he's got loyalty, even when it isn't deserved. That take class, too, sometimes. We should honor that, no? As for ESPN? Wankers. Peter King? Can't hear him with Favre's d*** in his mouth. Sorry to be so crass, but this story absolutely disgusts me and it serves as such a horrible example for the youth - not only in terms of Favre's behavior, but in ESPN ignoring it all for the sake of their "great white hope" myths.
