Here We Go Again-Favre
- Thread starter bearone
- Start date
ONLY A TRUE PACKER FAN CAN UNDERSTAND BRETT !! 3 time MVP, Shoe- in Hall of Famer! If people could only see how many times his contract was restructured to try to keep the team together in these days of free agency and salary caps!He wants to win another SUPER BOWL and Ted wants to sell Hot Dogs and BEER! Vikings owner is a very smart business man and should be comended.Brett has already made team millions without playing a game and will set a new record everytime he steps on the field or retires again lol!!
GREEN BAY, Wis. – Maybe Brett Favre(notes) lost the keenest segment of the Green Bay Packers fan base long ago. Maybe he lost them when every summer began to orbit around him, and every roster decision was applauded or disparaged based on how it impacted No. 4. Maybe he lost them in one tumultuous offseason after another, when his emotional whims became reason enough to hold the franchise hostage.
Or maybe he really, truly lost them on Tuesday, when he signed with the hated Minnesota Vikings, and then in Favre fashion, said “If you’re a true Packer fan, you understand.”
That was the line that still had fans fuming as they filed out of Stadium View Sports Bar in Green Bay, aptly named for its view of Lambeau Field down Armed Forces Drive. Some fans that had flocked for the Packers’ evening practice on Tuesday piled into the bar to watch Favre’s news conference. And ultimately they had a resounding opinion as they filed back out: Favre’s iconic legacy in this city has hit a new low.

Brett Favre landing with the Minnesota Vikings this week was fodder for David Letterman's most recent Top 10 list.
The host of CBS-TV's "Late Show" had sport with Favre with his list Wednesday night and seemed to display some local knowledge with a couple of the reasons (see Nos. 6 and 2).
Now, with that signature drum roll, here are the "Top 10 reasons Brett Favre came out of retirement":
10 - Blew his savings on a two-day taco binge.
9 - No reason to stay home every day now that "Guiding Light" has been canceled.
8 - Worried Obama's death panels might try to take him out.
7 - In this economy, someone offers you a job, you grab it.
6 - Wants to raise and then dash hopes of another city's fans.
5 - Couldn't' take another trip to Pottery Barn with his wife.
4 - Lured by a lucrative contract and free jar of Icy Hot.
3 - Concussions made me krazy!
2 - Who could resist chance to spend glorious winter in Minnesota?
1 - Oh, oh, wait. He just retired again.

Whether or not the Vikings get a championship with Favre on the team is pointless. This is purely and solely a business transaction for the Wilf's. Look at the money they will make off of this deal. The media is going wild, tickets are selling like hotcakes, and I gauruntee most everyone that is a fan of the NFL is going to watch at least one of his games this year. I am not a fan of Favre, but thanks Brett for bringing all this money to our state. Mn is going to make big bucks off of him!
That is the obvious. Nothing in professional sports is NOT a business transaction.
With that said, winning will bring in more than any one person signing, even BF. People seem think he is the one thing we need. If they don't win this year, those 3000 season tickets sold the first day DO NOT get renewed for next year. Guess we'll see if that translates in the next 5 months if this was a one year business deal, or a real push to WIN.
