Even still the drama continues. Granted Favre is a great quaterback, This season so far with the Jets proves that. During the Nov. 24th monday night game against the Saints I lost track of the number of times his name was mentioned at 25. It's not only the fans still hung up on this, it's also the sports casters. Enough is enough, if it's that important to dwell on him, then switch over and become a Jets fan.

well said jvldss

I am tired of all this Favre bs. It is time to move on. Despite all the records, the consecutive games streak, seven division titles and countless thrills Favre has given us, he is not, nor has he ever been, a good playoff quarterback. Yes, the Packers with Favre at QB did win a super bowl to help erase 25 years of failure, but all of his other seasons have ended with miserable playoff performances. As a Packer fan first, I am ready to move on with Rodgers, Brohm and Flynn. Let’s not forget that Favre too was un unheralded, and inexperienced quarterback when another fan favorite, Majikowski, went down with an injury and Favre got his chance. The sentiment at that time was the Packers don’t stand a chance now with this Falcon castoff at quarterback. Only time will tell...let’s move on and be done with all the distracting drama.

Some interesting prices on the Packers:
(compliments of the World Sports Exchange)

To win the NFC north: 9/5 (Minnesota is actually the current favorite at 8/5)

To win the NFC Championship: 12/1

To win the Super Bowl: 25/1

I love the Packers and i love Brett Favre, no matter what happens, and I am not pulling for any side here, I will always root for the Green & Gold, and I will always root for Brett Favre.

End of story.

Go Pack Go!

spunk: only time will tell.....figure out who Jane Skinner is and then you tell me........

momof5 -
Go bucs? Last we heard...
"Posted on July 18 at 1:24 p.m.
time to pack it up folks: after a series of calls last night, Brett has decided to stay retired and not apply for reinstatement."

for those wondering why Brett picked Fox News over other media outlets, I will give you 2 words: Jane Skinner. Google her and then it will ALL make sense.

Here we go Bucs. Here we go!

Bring back Favre just so we can shut these blogs down.

I can only sit and wonder after a few weeks camp or possibly into the season, what is the residant messiah gonna say when Rogers is out with an injury for several weeks or the season and Farve is continuing his great career for another franchise. I sincerely do hope Rodgers does not fall victim to the injury bug. But history only seems to support this theory. Thompson didn't treat Mike Sherman well so his attitude about Farve should be no surprise. How can you allow someone with the talent and stats of Farve to just "go away". Finally when you have three time mvp and he offers you some credible suggestions you might want think he may have a point and try hiring some of the people he's suggesting.

Move on folks...nothing to see here...move on please!

god i hate it when people blog about stuff they know nothing about. This guy is an idiot. check this out. "to catch a glimpse of Super Bowl superstars like Brett Favre, Reggie White, Ahman Green and Antonio Freeman." See anthing wrong here???? Ahman Green never played in the super bowl. Edgar Bennet and Dorsey Levens were the running backs. God people that dont follow favre and the team should shut up.

zzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzz..... huh?? more people arguing over an ongoing topic that has been drawn out for too long?? Favre's just being a big baby and wants to stay in the spotlight... it's all a big game to him... wants to retire, then one more year, then retires, then changes his mind to come back only to find out he's being replaced... he starts throwing a temper tantrum because Rogers took his spot upon retirement... how much more childish can he get?? just becasue he's not getting his way?!?! really now...

for those that are true PACKER fans, follow the team... for those that are FAVRE fans, follow him... ridiculous that there's this much controversy over one man's idiocy... sports used to be for competative athletes to have fun, not a contest to see who makes the most money per season...

send him to the windy city

If you think anyone pulled up in the heat of play because of their respect for what favre has done your nuts....nobody softened their blows, this is the NFL not some 40+ YMCA league.

Ugh! Not another mention of Favre and the Packers! PLEASE!

It's nobody's fault but the Packers and Favre. I'm sick of hearing about it!

Thanks for the information though!

Farve is an elderly quarterback with few productive years left in him. He was great and needs to move on. Green Bays future is in it's youth, Farve taught them heart and hard work, now it's time to see what they learned. I don't believe Farve can start again in the NFL, top defensive players laid off big hits out of respect, now that he wants to come back, the respect is lost and the hits will be hard.

Rogers has only one year left on his contract. Now is the time to prove if he is going to be the QB of the future. Favre gave the team no choice after retiring, then re-retiring. Favre is a top 5 QB, IMHO, but he really has nobody to blame but himself. A die-hard PACKER fan can move on.

This column is expected to gain at least 95 additional comments if anything like the article on Favre possibility of going to another team did.

While columns on the selection of the next city manager, which will actually affect our lives, gets about 5 comments ?

Bring back Brett. Now. Please.

Pro sports are vastly over paid also!

Favre is done. No, wait a minute . . now he is not. Now he is . . . now he is not. I wonder what will come next?

Bring Back Favre

Fire Thompson.

Send Rogers home to his mommy.

The Packers brass has been preaching that they need to do whats good for the team right now in 2008. You cannot tell me that right now the packers have a better chance of winning the superbowl with rodgers than Favre, no way no how no ifs, ands, or butts about it Favre is better for the packers, coming off a career high in completion percentage and one of the best years in his career with most of his starters returning, Swallow your pride packers brass and get Favre back in uniform, im sick of people saying "we owe it to rodgers to start him" Bull crap we dont owe him a thing, for the money hes making carrying a clipboard and mentoring under favre give me a break. He will get his shot...when favre is done.

Leader,
Get some perspective. "...it's a touchy subject that you broach". Give me a break. Cancer is a touchy subject. AIDS is a touchy subject. Brett Favre not playing for the Packers is NOT a touchy subject, it's a fact. Football is a game. I love the Packers, but come on now.
Great article, Ryan.

Great blog Ryan, but what are you talking about? I don't understand...wait now I remember...but I've already moved on and that Favre stuff was a long time ago. I'll see the rest of you folks when you get to the other side.

Ryan, perhaps if you would have a resume like a future hall of famer, rather than someone who's other job may be writing Bazooka Joe comics, then perhaps the Gazette would take time to think about taking you back. Throw a few awards or get to the level of Cal Thomas or William F. Buckley, and maybe they'd think twice if you came out of retirement. Sorry to be demeaning, but it's a touchy subject that you broach. Until you have lived through years of Packers teams that were the bottom dwellers of the NFL, then don't come to us and tell us to move on. I agree with the fact that we have become drunk on success, and because of that some people would rather see someone else play in Green Bay than Brett Favre. But please don't give advice to fans that have not just followed, but lived with a team for years, as if another player of his caliber is just waiting in the wings to lead this team. Chances of seeing another player take a team and do what he's done is slim and none.

As team supporter, that is who you need to support. Favre is good, but he is not the god of QB's. There are better guys out there. Guys that can get the Packers to the Super Bowl again. You never know, Rodgers could do it in a couple of years.
Favre - just enjoy your retirement. If I had your money, and family, I would. Wish I could have retired when I was 38.

Who knows, if Rodgers plays 17 years maybe he too can win one superbowl!

What is a Packer Nation?

let the guy go, I'm a packer fan, but come on, if he wants to play somewhere else let him go, he's past his prime, he probably is thinking he can make one last run somewhere else, so let him, logic should tell him to stay retired at the top of his game. the fact is its his life.

I think America’s obsession with pro sports has gotten ridiculous. People will steadily complain about a CEO with an MBA making a few million a year, but a pro athlete can make twenty million and that’s OK. I totally agree with the fact that Packer fans need to move on. I also think the Packers should either trade or release Farve out of respect for what he has done for the organization. I personally believe that Farve has hurt the Pack in big games in recent years as evidenced by his poor performance against Dallas and in the playoffs. The Farve situation has turned into a circus like side show, which is distracting from the team. Then again, I’m not a Packer backer either.

If you were a 3 time AP reporter of the year, and had an awards list as long as your arm...and your journalism had led your paper to be a finalist for newspaper of the year throught the USA...and were a shoe in to be voted into the journalist hall of fame on the first year you were eligible, do you think you should be welcomed back?

Wake up people. If you think Aaron Rogers will do anything more than get hurt you are mistaken.

Favre has EARNED the right to be welcomed back.

We will move on but Packer Nation will never be the same and not a question of if but when Aaron Rogers goes down...Thompson and McCarthy better get body guards.

You are correct.

Pro sports are vastly OVER-RATED.
