Favre already retired as a Packer! As a Packer fan I could care less, I never understood the importantance of doing this.
how much less?
Less that the OP.
Only if they name him the starter, he won't retire as a backup
Correct because there is a BIG difference between the two.
Go into the HOF as a Jet? Is this even relevant? It's not like his bust is wearing a helmet or something.
I'm sure he misses that frozen tundra also, lol. It's not the end of the earth, but you can see it from Green Bay. I live in MN, so I can say that
It's not a decision Favre can make. Borat is right that there is no helmet or team affiliation on the bust, because NFL enshrinees don't enter the HOF as a member of a certain team, they enter as an individual.
Yikes! I agree with some of this but most of it is exaggeration. You do know that high ticket prices only benefit the Broker and Scalper and the fan gets screwed? Lambeau Field has been sold out since the 60's.
Wrong. Thompson will do what he can to make sure Favre retires as a Packer to help repair some of the ill will some of the Packer fans have over that entire situation.
NEVER will happen.
Correct, after he signed with the Jets TT said there was still a PR job for him in GB when he retires. Green Bay still loves Brett Favre.
Packer Merchandise always sells it is slower now than the last 15 years because the team is not winning, economy sucks and also Favre is a Jet. Favre has lost a lot of fans over the last couple years with his will I or wont I retire offseasons.Favre was only part of the reason that the team turned around and won a Super Bowl. Men named Ron Wolf, Mike Holmgren, and Reggie White also has a lot to do with the turn around in Green Bay. White helped get Sean Jones and Keith Jackson to come to Green Bay. Santana Dotson stated one reason he came to GB was to play with Reggie also.
Huh?
They can easily reach an agreement that will allow this to happen.
This.
That offer still might come back on the table when he is done playing football. Some people in the Packer front office know that a ton of fans relate to Favre and the Packers as one in the same.
packer season ticket holder.... than you should know that prices of tickets have dropped off like crazy since favre left.. i could get seats to any game for almost face value.. i dont care bout scalpers or brokers.. when i would go to the games in 2007.. i couldnt touch seats for under $100.. now.. i can buy as many as i want at $40 !!!!!!look at craigslist..check out the prices for packer game this weekend.. as far as the economy.. jobs were getting sucked up when favre was here and gas was double what it is now.. but favre merchandise made stores survive easily.. now with gas at 1/2 cost..tickets cheaper!!.. packer merchandise doesnt move..why?? because of the free agent market.. noone wants to buy jennings stuff if he is going to leave in 1 year or 2.. same with all other players.. when favre was here.EVERYONE thought he would retire a packer..that drove the sales of merchandise through the roof.. this coming from a GB store owner!!.. and as far as will he or wont he.. your right.. he should know.. BUT. i will take those problems anyday from a player than say.. busted non stop from cops..aka chris henry...... or carrrying guns and shooting himself and than finding a small arsenal at his home like plax.. or the constant whining of owens and or CJ or any other player like that.. give me that few weeks of uncertainty anyday over those kinda players anyday...and yes thanx for the memories and 16 years of loyalty.. but he should go down as a packer no question about it.. he should have his name and number put up on the stadium..no doubt about it.. he is/was an icon for this state..
so.. you saying packers fans arent favre fans cuz he left team cuz thompson didnt want him... hmmmm.. packer fans were crazy about favre for 16 years..now they arent?? BANDWAGON fans??. montana left..came back.. did niner fans hate him for leaving?
correct above.. BUT WITHOUT FAVRE.. reggie would not have come.. and hence the after effects would not have happened either... no reggie, no sean jones,..and as far as ron wolf... what did he do?? he got favre.. other than that he didnt do squat.. his picks sucked.. good thing for wolf they had a rock solid qb or he would have wasted more picks finding a qb... favre WAS the reason they won..
It is obvious that we have nothing to talk about. I hope in the future you can pay $200 for a ticket just like the good old days. Taking an economic class wouldn't hurt either.
No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Brett Favre fans aren't necessarily Packer Fans. Is this that hard to figure out?
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
