		<description>Per PB:

&quot; And “what it is” is that you and a bunch of the media were wrong about BF playing for Minnesota. &quot;

I&#039;ve said this before.  All I do is post on a few forums &amp; blogs.  I have nothing to do with the Favre Fiasco.  Neither do you.   Nothing is changed because of what I may believe or what you may believe. 

You give yourself credit .....for what? ..........Having an opinion ??   I can see why you&#039;re obsessed with &#039;Lord Favre&#039;. You&#039;re just like him.  ........Full of yourself.</description>

		<description>The fact that BF strongly considered playing for the Vikes is the only matter that counts.  Whether he actually donned a Viking uniform is irrelevant.  Since PB is unwilling to expand his view of the truth about how PackFans view the BF Fiasco, I&#039;ll share a few comments from PackFans.  There are many &amp; most are similar to these two.

&quot; Favre’s word is no good. There is no reason whatsoever to believe anything he says, now or in the future. &quot;

&quot; I respect Favre even less as a person now. Why raise all this ruckus in the first place if you’re not going to play for the Vikings?
If your spouse openly investigated leaving you for someone else and then came back and said, “Nah. It was a nice fantasy, but in the end it was probably not worth it…” would you take them back? &quot;

You see PB, most PackFans are more than willing to view the realities.  You should feel embarassed to still be so selectively delusional about Brent.</description>

		<description>Mark,

That of course assumes Favre would even consider being a backup.  I don&#039;t see any shame in it and examples of just such a thing abound in pro sports, but it completely depends on the mindset of the player, some would and some wouldn&#039;t.  My guess is if Favre didn&#039;t want to take on the reponsibilities of playing to be the starter for the Vikings, he falls in the &quot;wouldn&#039;t&quot; category.  I wouldn&#039;t rule anything out, though, including Favre trying a comeback after a year off.

As far as TT&#039;s end goes, I agree that a smart GM might think out of the box and look at a chance to square the circle, but I don&#039;t think a resurrected Billy Mayes could sell him on that!</description>

		<description>A smart GM with a problem finding a backup QB could tell #4 he wouldn&#039;t have to carry a team for a whole season( which he couldn&#039;t) only come in for a game or two if his starter went down. Like Testaverde and a lot of aging QBs have done. An older Lance Armstrong came in second on his cycling team but helped that team to a victory and he was satisfied with that. Of course it would take a pretty good salesman to convince TT to give it a try.</description>

		<description>You&#039;re right, Rocky, it is what it is.  And &quot;what it is&quot; is that you and a bunch of the media were wrong about BF playing for Minnesota.  All the wailing and nashing of teeth is now a tempest in a teacup. I&#039;ve been saying for awhile that before everybody started getting their knickers in a knot they ought to wait till something actually happens rather than engaging in BS speculation.

Of course to one that can actually read minds and see the future, such as yourself, I guess there is no such thing as speculation.  Your crystal ball must be a little dusty, better clean it off!

I agree with DA, I never wanted to see him play against us, just granted that it was his choice and his right to play if he wanted to.  If he felt he wasn&#039;t sure about his ability to play a full season at a high level, I give him credit for making the right choice.  The rest of your drek, &quot;he&#039;s lazy&quot;, &quot;insanity&quot;, is just more of your obsessive axe grinding.  Only you could put lazy and BF in the same sentence and not think that&#039;s over-heated hyperbole.  Just admit you got it wrong and move on.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m not so sure that this drama is over yet.

&quot;Favre’s decision was stunning — though there’s a chance it’s not his final decision. On Tuesday evening, he told his good friend Steve Mariucci, the former Packers assistant and current NFL Network analyst, that he plans to continue throwing and working out. &quot;

Why continue throwing &amp; working out ?  Rehab? Fun?  Injury replacement?</description>

		<description>I would have been fine w/it if Favre played this season, but....................  after a while you look a little funny in other uniforms after spending 16 years in only one.  But there were a couple uniforms I did not want to see him in and purple was one of them.  Guess it kinda worked out............</description>

		<description>PB

It is what it is.  BF would be playing this year if all he had to do was show up on Sundays for 3 hours &amp; chuck the ball all over the field.

You know this to be true.  Don&#039;t deny the obvious........ Lazy is a kind way to describe BF&#039;s insanity.

Now you can focus on the Pack instead of &#039;Lord Favre&#039;.</description>

So if he comes back, he&#039;s an egomaniac, traitor, etc. etc., but when he decides his body may not be up to it, he&#039;s lazy?  What a joke.

Guess you won&#039;t have Favre to kick around anymore.</description>

		<description>Old BF figured out ways to skip OTAs &amp; mini-camp, but ran out of ideas when it came to TC.  The &#039;daily grind&#039; did him in again.  He&#039;s been complaining about the daily grind for years.   ............Does the term &#039;lazy&#039; seem appropriate ?</description>
