WOW!! I am very impressed and thought I would share my mere thoughts as well; ok? Here goes…

OK Aaron Rodgers or for you turn coats A-Rod; his highness has spoken.

"I don’t feel I need to sell myself to the fans," Rodgers responded. "They need to get on board now or keep their mouths shut."

Well you’ve heard his words in quotations not revisionist history.

Rodgers went on to say, “my injuries have been more serious than previously released by the Packer public relations department. My pinkie nail was torn on my surfboard last March the day after I heard Favre give his tearful bye-bye telethon. And I reluctantly admit my hamstring was actually first streached beyond belief when I was stepping into my wetsuit (actually the footies).”

“But I swear (fingers crossed behind my back) to make Green Bay my mecca. If I get cold feet on the frozen tundra (it’s much colder on the field) than on that friggin frozen bench and limp off the field don’t worry I’ll be fine in a month or two.

Step two three four; step two three four…Bye Brettie hehehe…I’M THE MAN

Favre has already given his opinion on what he thinks of the Packers, soon as he asked to be traded… or perhaps I should say his lack of loyalty to the team. This isn’t the first time he wanted to be traded either.

I said last year before the season started, he is a disgruntled quarterback and shouldn’t be starting, because one game, he will thrown an intentional pick to ruin the Packers season. And of course, what happened in the last playoff game, he threw his pick.

Rodgers also outplayed Favre in the preseason last year, and that was with the 2nd string players. But Favre gets his starting job automatically every year, no matter how poorly he plays.

Even rookie opponent quarterbacks outplayed Favre during some of the seasons games (for example, the Chicago game with the blizzard, and the Playoff game with the Giants… both quarterbacks easily outplayed Favre).

If you look at his record and stats at 39 he could still probably play until his early 40’s. He has proven his tenacity and work effort and ability to play competitively even with injuries.
After the season he had last year it was a complete mindblowing thing to see him retire, but hearing the real behind the scenes stories of what really went down, I see why he made that mistake. Ted Thompson has had an agenda. He is a moron. He needs to either appologize to Favre and get him back as the starter or let him go and go with him. Thompson is a shady character at best. There is no way Aaron Rodgers is going to last the whole season without injury. Trade him, get Favre back and prep Brian Brohm to take over in 3-4 years.
Thompson needs to go, not Favre.

Penalties on other teams for tampering meaning extra/or improved draft picks for us next year. I am not 100% positive but didn’t the Bears get compensation from the 49ers for tampering with Briggs last year? I think the 49ers were forced to swap picks in the 3rd round. Briggs is a good player but not a HOF player like Favre.
The Packers have already accused the Vikings of tampering and there could be other teams out there too.

That was a very mature post tylerhead24. Good job making stating your opinion without offense. A lot of people post, and reporters claim, that Brett’s a liar. Lying about what? Retiring? People think he purposefully did that emotional press conference and lied about retiring? That’s so silly to me. Unfortunately, it is just a circus now. I am a Dallas fan, and can completely relate to circus type behavior in which something personal is going on with a player and then the media spins it all over the place. Really, this is a “personal” situation that Brett and the Packers are going through. It should have come out once all the pieces where in place, whether he retires, gets traded, starts again at Green Bay, etc.
People should relate to “regretting” a decision they have made or “changing their mind”. This guy doesn’t know anything else but football. So, how can Packer fans or non Packer fans be surprised of his decision to come back. Have you never wanted to go back to something you regretfully left? He was asked to make a decision on their terms so they can decide how to play out their draft picks, and he probably wasn’t too ready to make that decision just yet. But he had too. He didn’t lie. He just made a quick decision. Who hasn’t? People should judge that. I kind of feel for the guy. What an amazing career, a legend as he has been called. But in 5, 10 years from now, he will be known as the “guy who cried all the time, couldn’t make up his mind, lied about retiring, a bitter QB….:” and the list goes on, and so will the jokes. Thank God for his records.
Rodgers isn’t the Packers next Favre. That rarely happens. Take it from someone who went through 8 QBs waiting on the next Aikman. But Rodgers will do alright, nothing spectacular. Packer fans, and the rest of the world will know, when the next Favre hits the field.
