I think Mr. Rodgers had a little too much to drink at his Brett Favre fan club party today. Either that or he has no clue what “running up the score” means. Or both.

Again Mr. Rodgers, you’re completely off base with the Saints-Vikings comparison.

Saints last offensive TD: 1:10 left in the second quarter.

Vikings last offensive TD: 1:55 left in the fourth quarter on a fourth down play when they were already up 27-3.

There’s a difference.

Yes Favre is satisfied, Packers one and done in wildcard round and Vikings in the NFC championship game. He knows the Vikings offense better than the coaches. Yes, I would say very satisifed. He wasn’t a good fit for the Jets (see current game, 10-7 Jets against chargers) Not bad for a rookie QB – A. Rodgers has been in the leage how long? 4 years? I forget.

Mark Sanchise is a good fit, Brett was a fish out of water at the Jets. Rodgers may very well be a Stat machine like Marino, time will tell.

Anne,

Thank you for your comment.

I don’t think that Favre obviously wanted to keep playing football, because he told TT and the Packers “no” not once, but twice. It wasn’t until the third time that TT went with Rodgers and Favre said, “okay, I want to come back.”

If Favre wanted to play, he could have came back to the Packers, who would have welcomed them back with open arms. But he didn’t. If Favre wanted to play, he could have came back to the Packers when TT flew down to his own and asked him again. But he didn’t.

Favre is one of the greatest athletes to ever play. I still have fun watching him and am often amazed by what he is doing at his age.

That said, I will never side with him in this case. I think he put himself ahead of the team last year and put TT in a bad position – not the other way around. Now TT is often looked at as the bad guy and I don’t think that’s fair. The Packers are in TT’s best interest, not solely Favre and his ever-changing mood.

Anthony, I think you haven’t analyzed this all the way. Favre obviously wanted to keep playing football, and he obviously was frustrated by TT’s decisions to pass on strengthening the Packers team. Time was ticking for Favre, facing the end of his career, and wanting to be on a competitive team. He knows the West Coast offense the best and obviously wanted to go to a team that plays West Coast. That would mean the NFC Central and Tampa Bay, but since those are Packer rivals, there was no way TT would permit Favre to go to them. For at least the last 2 seasons, Minnesota had had all the pieces in place for a championship, except QB…and now they have that!

I think Jeff has said it all……..I would only add that the story is over.

Brett, it’s over….Green Bat it’s over, time to start ice fishing up there and move on.
