Location: Manitowoc, WI | It's a business......and their business is to make money, no different than anyone else. I have no problem with them playing for another team, especially in SHarper and Longwell's cases where it was clear that they were not in the plans for the team's future.
The Favre situation is different. He told the Packers he wanted to retire. Then he changed his mind after they had drafted two quarterbacks, made other changes, and moved on.
I still believe that there is something to be said for the thought that after the NFC Championship game against the Giants that there was a big blowup between McCarthy and Favre. Rumor has it that Favre was sent in a running play on 3rd and 15 when he threw the ill-fated INT. When he tried to come back last year McCarthy said there were things he and Favre needed to talk about to "clear the air". I'm sure that the INT and Favre's lack of discipline were part of that conversation. |

| Great stuff Dennis!
I'll take some of that action Rich, with one caveat. Favre must start 14 regular season games, and all playoff and Superbowl games. If they make it that far.
It doesn't matter that #4 is now w Viking. Last year, I thought it was the most horrendous thing he could do tou us fans. Then, over the course of his last 5 retirements, and watching him revert to his uncoachable self with the Jets, I realized that I am a Packerfan, and he is just like so many others, just another former Packer.
#4 will not take the Vikings to the promised land. He will be uncoachable. He's already made it clear that he is in charge of this deal, not "Chilli". Childress was a bad caoch at UW, and I rejoiced ehrn he left for the Eagles. And then I rejoiced when the Vikes "beat" the Packer to the punch when they hire him before he could come for an interview. It's plain to see that Andy Reid was the better coach, and the real offensive genius, between the two of them. |

Location: Appleton wi | Jerry , I agree I also heard rumors about that last play in the NFC championship.
Just like the jets mengiti(mispelled i am sure) another example where a coach took the fall for a players screw ups! |

Location: Manitowoc, WI | I second that BOXMAN. It's worse for me, as my brother and father are Viking fans, my sisters and mom are Bears fans, and I'm the only one with a brain and common sense!!! I've had the upper hand for the most part, for many years and, being the control freak that I am, I do not plan to give it back! |

Location: Berlin | Trust me Shep, you don't want any of this action. Our bet includes used chewing gum, an ugly stick, iodine, digital camera, 14lb trilene XT and (2) #4 wide gap gamagatsu hooks.
I will bet you that the Vikings win both games against the Packers if you want that action!

| Rich, I'll take a bet on the Pack vs. Vikes. No way Farve wins at Lambeau. You think he was a basket case the first time Holmgren came back? Wait til he starts throwing the picks in this game! Probably end up his career with a 1:1 ratio TD/INT's!
1-4 in his forst start. Zero first downs! He's sore, not MUCH pain in his shoulder, his legs hurt, and he is inaccurate. Naw, he didn't need to train and come to camp! hehehe He's never going to last the season. No way "Chili" controls him.
Go Pack! And we STILL have the best QB in the division! hehehe |

Location: Orland Park, IL | Well now I see Bob Sanders the old Def Coordinator for the Pack is now lines coach for Buffalo. The pack used Capers 3-4 and smoked the Bills with 3 turnovers in 16 minutes. Looks like the pack is shipping out more than just a qb. |

Location: DeForest, WI | I'm going to retire, no I'm not, yes I am, Oh I just don't know what I
want and then that big burly Chicago linebacker hit me so hard I broke a
nail so I said that's enough already and any way what's a girl to do,
those guys play too rough for me.
I gotta go now bye, bye.
Your BFF Sissy.
There is a good photo to go along with this, but the file is to large-

Ho-Hum.
Once he was retired, and messed up training camp last year and then traded, I was done with him.
He will not take the Vikings to the promised land. They'll end up with broken hearts after a season ending pick, just like happened so many times here.
I LOVE it when I'm right!
And this pretty much looks like I did bet on Favre not winning the Superbowl.
Shep -I'll take some of that action Rich, with one caveat. Favre must start 14 regular season games, and all playoff and Superbowl games. If they make it that far.

| If by "cut grass" you mean roll around in more cash than any of you will ever see in your lifetime, hunt and fish whenever, wherever I want to, and never have to work another day in my life, then you are correct.
Sincerely,
Brett Favre |
