Packers' Al Harris on Favre: 'Everybody Here Loves Brett'

Hey, Bruce - I thought you did a good job on the pros and cons of Brett coming back in reference to Packer Fans, but it looks like you've slid back into your old ways again in this article. Aren't you a bit skeptical on these statements? Do you really think anybody on the Green Bay team would come out and say, "Yea, Ted really screwed up on that one. We should of never let Brett get away! Aaron Sucks!!" It is not going to happen. Not if that person wants a pay check.

So if they aren't to to be true to heart, then why even print their comments???

Ted is a pretty decent drafter, Jon, but to imply that the team asked for Brett back (ever) during Teds term at the helm is something of a farce. Again, id like to point out how coincidental it became that Brett began mentioning retirement the moment Ted drafted Rodgers, honestly, we dont truly know what was occurring behind the scenes, but if i had to take an educated guess, it was something typical of all GMs to do when they assume control of a franchises personnel, they want "their guys" in the positions of power. Instead of immediately drafting for position players around Favre, they took -wait for it- a quarterback. And weve been on the roller coaster since. Ted balked at Moss, balked at pretty much any free agents, and while yes, its important to build from within, it doesnt do any wonders for your HoF qb. The feud is above any of us, solely reserved for management vs employee. If Favre happens to win a SB while in Minn, does that translate into vindication? Not really. Why should it? If we could just get past the triviality, and view it as a business, then the Favre-O-Rama would stop.

The very same thing happened to Brees in San Diego, yet we didnt have 40 billion posts about Drew. Smith wanted his guy in charge of the offense. Where are the articles about Brees throwing for 6,000 yards a year like a madman, possibly to prove he wasnt washed out to A.J.?

All you Packer fans busted this guys chops ever since he decided it was time to think about quitting the game hes been a part of for many years. Lets see, he was demoted with Aaron as starter if he was to come back and play again, so then he wanted a release, offered 20 mill to not sign with the Vikings, he declined, he was then traded to the Jets who after 1 season and his first ever injury was later released. All the Packer fans piss and moan about him thinking about becoming a Viking, so you call him names, belittle him, you name it you called him it. You pissed him off, and nows the time for remorse???, No it is over with. Its time for revenge and believe me, the Vikings alone owe the Packers enough revenge its not even silly, can you imagine a pissed off Brett who will be at his best with an entire pissed off Minnesota Viking team? Simply put, the Packers are not a match for the Vikings, not anymore, there isnt enough thugs on your team bad enough to intimidate anybody anymore.
Lets set the record straight here for a second, without Brett Favre "ever" as a Packer, you would have been winning games about the same amount as the Detroit Lions. The Packers have been a thorn in the backside of the Vikings long enough, its time to get out of the way and watch the big dogs play.

Brett I don't care what the hatters say I still think your great and if I was you i'd play to for who ever you want. But as A true Packer fan it will be weird seeing the Pack beat you twice in one year and at the same time it will be nice to watch you play the game and say how did he do that or some times why did he do that. But anyways make it do what it do.
