But I've found it quite interesting that Al is allowed to have 5 or 6 FINAL words on Favre, but once Favre changes a decision, he's Satan. Bottom line is, if an NFL team wants a particular player and hunts down the player in the matter the Vikings have Favre, he has every right to play. Just because he's an NFL superstar does not change that right. Plenty of good players have gone through this process at the end of their careers, the only difference with Favre is, people care. Favre isn't doing interviews, seeking attention, anything. There's just a good chance he'll be suited up next season. He lead a previously failing Jets team to 9-3 last year, got hurt, and went to 9-7. If he's back to the condition he was when that season started, the Vikings are idiots to not try to get the old man, especially given their QB situation. Look back to the Broncos that beat us, old men throwing the ball and young, explosive RBs can get the job done. Al, please, let this be the final "final".

All of you Favre fans should just buy your purple 4 jerseys and stay off the packer bandwagon for good. We don't need fair weather fans like you. All of these years, you've worshiped Favre first and Packers second. Now that he's wearing purple, you will all be forced to show your true colors. Anyone that says they hope Favre beats the Packers IS NOT A PACKER FAN. PERIOD. Just get this straight...when Favre finally admits he's lost it sometime this year or next, and Aaron Rogers becomes a perrenial pro-bowl QB...don't come crawling back. Just like Favre, you will be the Bennedict Arnolds of the football world without fan nation to call your own. You belong together. I couldn’t agree more.

Anthony Smith is a bum see the tape vs. NE when he mouthed off. Rouse is a nice player but more of a centerfielder. Bigby is an enforcer. Collins turned several games for the Pack last year with a very tepid pass rush in front of him. With an improved Front 7 Collins could be on the verge of superstardom.

Who do you think is better? Ray Rhodes or Ted Thompson? I say Ray Rhodes. He batted .500.

A couple seasons ago, Archuleta was making $5M / year - JOKE; Adrian Wilson of the Cardinals was over $4M. As noted earlier, the Steelers are paying Polamolu $4.65M. I expect Collins' agent will be in that vicinity. They could roll the dice, see how he plays this season and tag him. I guess I'd rather see them go that route than give him "franchise tag" money based on one season's performance...

The guy asked you a simple question and all you can do is bash Thompson. It is people like you that are the problem, you just can't let it go. And you think you are being cute. That is hilarious. Mark, The question you raised is exactly what the Packers are debating behind closed doors. I think you need to tread softly with Collins, he could be another Cletidus Hunt. At times he appears a few fries short of a Happy Meal. BillyRay,

Mark,

The question you raised is exactly what the Packers are debating behind closed doors. I think you need to tread softly with Collins, he could be another Cletidus Hunt. At times he appears a few fries short of a Happy Meal.

I also think Ted needs more time to develop a winning record. After four season he's won almost half his games. He easily deserves another four years to see if he can get to .500. Mark,

I think Ted needs more time to develop Collins.

I also think Ted needs more time to develop a winning record.

After four season he’s won almost half his games.

He easily deserves another four years to see if he can get to .500.
