mack10: You are so right,even Lynn Dickie as bad as he was could even show Rodgers a few tricks. lol

All I can say is the Packers made a big mistake. They should've welcomed Favre back with open arms and trade Rodgers. Why are they so high on Rodgers? He sucks, he has no pocket presence at all, he don't know how to throw the ball away. he will never amount to anything. All Aaron Rodgers is is the second coming of Lynn Dickie.

Careful, Greg. If you backpedal any faster, you may get a serious case of whiplash. ;-)

Did anyone consider that what Brett meant by the Vikings being the most physically talented team is that they are really talented, physically speaking? Just my $0.02. Thanks and keep packing!

and please Rodgers cannt clean Farves kleets saythat 10 times fast

DUDE LOL MEANS LAUGH OUT LOUD.....get over yourself would ya.....please you act like you play..i doubt that...its just a bit ridiculous how serious you are about such a non issue in the course of events,,ie unemployment, health care, worls peace I mean really who cares. Did Farve say anything bad about his team mates. I think he was hugging Jennings at the end of the game...or did you watch the game...hhhhmmmmmm

Wow.
Did I say Brett Favre couldn't play anymore?
Let's see...nope.

Did I say the Packers would win?
Let's see...did they play that perfect game? (How about that kickoff team! How about that pass rush!)...nope.

So I should eat crow for...what?

Gee, I like watching Brett, too. The guy still plays with the enthusiasm of a teenager. But as a diehard Packer fan, I just hate to see him wearing the color of the arch rival (sorry, Bear fans) and pumping his fists in excitement while at Lambeau.

Did I use a provocative headline to entice readers to my blog?
Guilty.

I just thought his comment, at this point in the season, was disrespectful to his 1996 teammates. If the Vikings win it all--and I wouldn't bet against them--then he can make such a comparison/statement and I wouldn't begrudge it.

By the way, I like the idea others have suggested: That if Rodgers had played with the Vikings and Favre with the Packers on Sunday, the outcome likely would have been similar. You can’t tell which is the better quarterback at this point in their careers, but the Vikings are obviously the better team this year.

Greg Peck

Okay Guys...As a Bear fan and trying to be neutral and all...MAN DID HE LOOK GOOD FOR A 40 YEAR OLD GUY OR WHAT. If he was the same age as he was with the Pac in 96, given the team he is on now....the world would be his oyster and MIN would probably be undefeated. Just one persons observation....As a Bear fan I hope they all get the FLU...just kidding, seriously these guys are the best in the NFC. Great job Brett I look forward to your off season whineing and indecisivenes, so I may go on to hate you again like a true Bears fan....LOL...again kidding

Ok Mr.Peck what quarterback helped take this team to the 96'superbowl,so realize that without him they probably,mostlikely would not have made it.This is why a packer fan cries is because their lost without their hero.Face it! the packers are going down the toilet and you've got mike & ted to thank for that.

Love Favre ! Have and will always watch whatever team he plays for. It's a job people, one he is very good at. I have taken a lot of flack for following him since he left GB (kicked out) but it is so worth it to watch him. He smacked GB down twice in one month. GB will not make it to the playoffs but I would not be surprised if Farve went to the Super bowel again.

Ok unruly Packer Fans, get out the crying towels. Brett Favre will be a great player no matter what team he's playing for and he's in it for the love of the game, not because you OWN him Green Bay. I liked the classy Green Bay fans that held up signs saying "Brett we still love ya!" On the other hand,. . . for all the cry baby fans that are still complaining about Brett Favre and telling him to "shut his mouth" ya need to grow up and get the hell over it!

and he B.F. TIES another record, next week maybe he will break it. Favre continues to show thru actions not words that he is still one great ball player worthy of respect and always will be in my book.

Brett's arm does the talking on the field. Off the field he's still a great American with the right to free speech. What a great game!

Maybe the next time some of you will want to try letting go of all of the negative thinking. Instead of hoping for Favre to fail, concentrate on supporting your team. How are those grapes? I'll bet that they could use a little sugar.

SarahB1~ It's called short on brain in regard to Packer fans' attitude's towards Favre. They can't accept the fact it's over and the Packer organization messed up! Spoiled from the past and too proud to let go and move on to the future with "Buck" Rodgers and the 21st century!

HA HA Peck. Eat Crow

Thank you, Brett and Viking teammates! I loved every minute of it. I grew up in Wisconsin and until Favre left, always kept the Packers as No. 1 in my book. Because of that, I can understand why some Green Bay fans felt a need to boo Brett when he first appeared on the field for warmups and again when the Viking offense first entered the game. However, I can't for the life of me figure out what the Packer fans thought they were achieving by continuing to boo Favre when Minnesota was ahead 24-3 (or whatever it was at that point). By then, the booing only made the Packer fans look bad.

Hey hows about them there Vikings hey?? Thank you for the wonderful moment to stick it down Ted Tool Man Thompsons Throat. Hey there Teddy boy.....What you got to say for yourself now??????

gilly not with Favre dey vill vin it all da vay

today he had his say huh Greg? 38/26

Need I say it? Greg Peck should shut his mouth. GO VIKES!

I LOVE Brett Farve. Wisconsin people have an attitude. Their attitude toward Brett was, you said you retire so we won't take you back! HUH! A person can't change their mind?!?!? WOW. Such PERFECT Wisconsinites. I say CHANGE YOUR MIND "ANYTIME" YOU WANT TO. That goes for anyone. Screw the self-righteous creeps.Wisconsinites ALWAYS think "their way", is right. NO ROOM for mercy, forgiveness or change. How depressing..............

I'd boo the quarterback of a division rival anytime. Regardless of his past.

GO COWBOYS!

new update KLEEJ! 24-3! You'll never believe who threw the TD pass either! I'm now convinced, Brett Favre is the king of Lambeau Field! Aaron Rodgers is Favre's "jester" (at best)

Halftime update: Vikings and Brett Favre 17, Packers and Aaron Rodgers 3! This was a no brainer! How bout them Packers????!!! LOL

Packers fans need to stop living in the past....all they do is dwell on the SuperBowl team from 13 years ago. Well you know what, that's done and over with and has nothing to do with today. Favre never mentioned the '96 team when he made that statement, just typical reaction and media coverage around here. "you can't say that because our team won the superbowl 13 years ago"...whaaa, get over it.

You all should leave Brett alone! Do any of you know that in the off season he whittles crutches for disabled kids with a pocket knife? Do any of you know that his sweat got into a blind kids eyes and he could see again? Yeah, so think twice before you start talking so bad about him.

brett owns green bay you jealous ham and eggers are just paying rent

Everybody just get over it. If you have a positive attitude, whatever team you are on is the best team that you have ever been on. I am not surprised that many of you are unable to understand that.

GO VIKINGS!!

no nvgrf its thompsons fault this time

The Packers were NUTS to let him go. It was like telling Babe Ruth to get lost. I've been a lifelong Packer fan, but now it's GO VIKINGS!

Dey been to 4 Super Bowls and dey lost 4 times, some day der goin' back der to LOSE NUMBER FIVE!!!!

bobb1951~ Exactly my point! Try chasing your own dreams as opposed to Packers once and maybe you won't be in here whining to the public because you're jobless and can't make ends meet.

kleej......"you guys are way to territoral".

Wisconsin,Wisconsinites,Green Bay Packers,
Our State, Our People, Our team.

Territoral As all hell,and PROUD!

People just let the game speak for itself, as far as brett goes he will let his play speak for him. Go Vikings!!! with or without brett

another Super Bowl Champ and Packer HOF'er said to me "Well, then they should be going to the Super Bowl then".....until the big game has been played all this talk about the better team is nothing but media hype and conjecture!!!!!
.
And, come on LeRoy! Who the heck cares what Brett or anyone else says? Can their talk take away YOUR accomplishments? NO! You may have been there before Brett. Before Reggie. Before Freeman. Before Gilbert Brown...yadda yadda yadda. But, you also left BEFORE any of them did also. And, LeRoy....if you want to talk about being there before Ron Wolf. OK! A whole flipping year! Oooo...you big man! Why was Ron inducted into the Packer HOF SEVEN YEARS before you???
.
GO BRETT AND GO VIKINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A little harsh for greg to be with his headline may have to eat his words and then his mouth will be shut.

and can say whatever he wants he has earned that GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BRETTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Brett can play for whoever he wants

I will always be a Packer fan,but last year i was a JET'S fan,this year i'm a Vikings fan. So does that mean i'm a Brett's fan,you betcha I AM!! Kick some ash Brett

Sour grapes, Peck? I don't recall such hateful editorials last year when Brett was a Jet. I'm not a Packer fan, but who cares where he plays? It's his life, not ours. And did anyone give Michael Jordan such a tough time when he retired and then didn't and then retired and then played baseball??

"It remains to be seen if the Packers are capable of doing it all of this." Is that what you meant to write? It just seems a little bit clumsy. Oh, and by the way, it is generally accepted that everything that has not yet happened remains to be seen. Finally, I contest the assertion that the Vikings will have to play a perfect game to win. It "remains to be seen" as a wise man once said. :-)

It's all Obama's fault!

As long as Favre puts up TWO wins every years against Green Bay.........He can open his mouth as much as he likes! This is just typical Packer fan mentality in this article.
You guys are way too territorial!

I am calling the Pack to win this game and cover the -3 line. Not because I think the Pack is the better team, but because of the technicals. As an ex-book; one of my favorite angles was to go against teams coming off very physical games. Back in the day when Tampa had that bone crushing defense under Tony Dungey; you could always play AGAINST a team the week after they played Tampa; as players would often be beat down from the game, and not fully recovered. It was a very powerful angle that was never really figured into the Vegas line.
.
Same sort of angle does apply here. Minnesota is coming off games against Pittsburgh and Baltimore respectively. Two of the top defenses in the league (they were ranked one and two last year). Green Bay comes in VERY rested up here. A Bye, Detroit, and Cleveland respectively. Detroit and Cleveland having two of the very worse defenses in football.
.
The Pack should simply be better rested, and have more energy for this game that will be a VERY emotional divisional game. I would not be all to surprised if they win handily. I think they win the battle, but not the war; however. As I think Minnesota will have the better record by seasons end.

Come on now; don't buy into this nonsense of "the greatest of all time" with Peterson!...PLEAAAAAAAASE!
When people say that about anything, they never have even SEEN 80% of (whatever they are claiming to be the best ever) from the past generations. Your going to tell me that a back who was injury prone at OU is a better back then Jim Brown, Gayle Sayers, Earl Campbell, Walter Payton???? RIIIIIIIIIGHT. How about even real old school Curly Lambeau or the true legend of the galloping ghost; Red Grange. Christ these guys had 10x the heart of any of these backs in today's game!

Favre can cry victim all he wants,but the fact is he would still be our QB if he had'nt played the ego centered games for the last 3 years about whether he would retire or not. I would boo him til I was hoarse at the game, but I'll cheer him when he finally retires for good someday.

support_local_racing: Pretty funny comment, but you obviously don't know this Sarah.

Brett WAS a Green Bay Packer who gave us 16 seasons of some of the best we as Packer fans could have hoped for.He is now a ...(pains me to mention THAT team).Life goes on.
Go Packer's!

Brett Favre was the greatest football play WHEN he played for the Packers. Since, he hasn't done much, but then again he isn't that young either. By the way, one player isn't the success of a team. Just ask the Jets......

I'm Retiring.
No I'm Not.
This is the best team I've ever played on.
I'm Retiring.
No I'm Not.
This is the best team I've ever played on.

He's been saying all of the above for the last 5 or 6 years.

Hey Folks! The mere mention of a guy that's been in the league for such a short period as "The Greatest" in the same sentence irked me. It takes away from the other current 1500+ players in the NFL in my humble opinion. I would have still b*tched if it was said about the Packers running backs.

Warfdude....

...Have an official #4 waffle.

I think I would cheer... no on second thought I think I would boo...OH I JUST CAN'T DECIDE!

i still find it hard to cheer for brett but i also find it hard to boo him lets just go out and kick some viqueens butt on sunday after noon.we could end up playing these viqueens again ithe playoffs.

JSB - Hahaha! Good one!

sk8 - Me thinks the same way.

I think what Sarah is saying is that she's a Favre fan. She also probably likes the Miami Dolphins because of their "pretty team colors. And come on, who doesn't like dolphins? They're soooo cute." =)

sk8: You're right. I was a "true fan" until this all happened.

Brett favre shud shut big fat mouf

i think the packers can do it if thet try enough

There's no more of a true fan, than a Packer Fan. Regardless of who the QB is, who the GM is, who the coach is, a true fan will cheer on the 'team'---- 'our team'. I hope Brett does well, but I still want the Packers to win because I am a true Packer fan....they will never be #2.

I'll be cheering him on this Sunday. When Favre retires for good and Thompson is gone, I will move the Packers from No. 2 back to No. 1 on my list.

I would cheer for #4

Those are the six truest words I've heard in a long time.

We will slooow it dowwnn for AndrewJackson.

"Adrian Peterson MIGHT become the best runner of all time."

What's "football"?

Andy..it reads "might BECOME.."

"Adrian Peterson greatest runner of all time". Give me a fricking break! What is this, his 3rd or 4th year? One robin doesn't bring spring! In the NFL one play can end it all.
