Even before Brett retired, I think that Rodgers should have been given more of a chance to play. I agree that GB is bigger than one man. Rodgers is an excellent quarterback but he has really only played this last year. Who cares what Brett Favre is doing? He's just a person who likes to play football. He retired from GB because he was considerate and wanted to let them keep their integrity rather than getting old and losing games for them. Enter Rodgers, who after all these years finally gets to play. Favre then decides he really enjoys football and would like to play again. He enjoys the camaraderie of the Packers, but decides on a season with NY for a lack of alternatives. He's from Wisconsin, wtf did you think he was going to do move to New York? Who in their right mind would choose NY over Wisconsin? There's nothing vindictive about joining the Vikings... MN is close to Wisconsin! It's not for revenge, it's for a love for the game. The media has created a circus when all he wants to do is play football even though he's unsure of how much longer he should as he ages. Why not just post a news story that says: Brett Favre might come back and play for the Vikings. He's always had fun with the game and could possibly add an interesting twist to the GB MN rivalry. There won't be animosity with Favre because that's not how he plays football. Then again maybe you never paid attention to the guy when he smiled after getting sacked. The media has always put out shit, so why pay attention to it and waste energy resenting it? So they have nothing else to talk about, let them talk. Why blame Favre because he's the only person in FB right now that is doing something high profile? I have been a Packers fan for years.

I thought he'd ride off into the sunset. Like I said before, I'm disappointed to find out that he's just like all the rest of these guys. As far as my reasoning being circular, it's just not the case. If he really wanted to simply play, he'd be playing for the Jets (who gave up a good pick to get him). He retired for the 43rd time specifically so he could come back and play for the Vikings. Why? Because he'll get to play the Packers twice this year. Do you honestly think it's a coincidence that the one team he really wants to play for just happens to be GB's arch-rival? Get real. Barnun – I’m focused on Favre because he’s in the news now.

Cutler was undermined by a new regime that shopped him without communicating anything, shame on Denver (Cutler didn't retire on multiple occassions nor did he leave his franchise dangling for four consecutive years). We're focused on Favre because it's like groundhog day: Same story, played out in the media ad infinitum, for multiple years....that's why the majority of fans are sick of the story and sick of the act. His silence is a greater condemnation of his character this year than any other time. Gee, Deon ( a former player that was a mercenary free agent going to the highest bidding franchise four different times) accusing the owners of a lack of loyalty...how profound. The original article leading to all this discussion is spot on: We're sick of the Favre circus and you can no longer blame the media as long as his silence allows them to speculate.

John, you run in circles. you say Brett only retired from the Jets to get back at GB, but then you point out that he retired twice at GB, who was that to get back at ? If Brett choosed to play and a team wants him, so be it. My team is the Redskins, they haven't had a Franchise QB since Hollywood Joe. They haven't been good in forever, Snyder is a terribly impatient owner, but they're my team. Is Brett's unretiring worse than Cutler's Demand for leaving ? Why do you overlook every other players shortcomings and focus on Favre ? I saw Deon last night on the NFL channel and they were talking about the fact that there is no loyalty in sports and that started with management on the owners. jimmy, Brady was a 3rd string QB once also.
