Ok, so I'm going to throw in my 2 cents about the Favre situation. Let me state that I am by no means a hardcore, or dedicated Packers fan, and I'm not by default a fan just because I live in Green Bay. I am rooting for the Packers because it's really the only thing you can look forward to during these long God-forsaken winters.
At first, I sided somewhat with the Packers organization. I agree that Brett put them in a tough spot by asking to come back after they had moved on and made plans to start AR. But with all of the comments by Ted Thompson and the fact that Brett is following through with his word, and willing to show up to training camp to COMPETE for his role (why a future hall-of-famer, one of the greatest QB's ever, and on top of his game would ever have to compete for a starting role is beyond me), makes me grow frustrated at the organization for their stubbornness. Granted, it's frustrating to have to switch gears. But it's not the middle of the season. It's not pre-season. Heck, training camp just started Sunday! They're treating AR like he has already won a superbowl for them or something. AR doesn't deserve what the Packers are giving him. He might deserve it if he's had real NFL experience. Even then it's questionable.
The Packers are a better team with BF as their starter, bar none. But unfortunately they are too prideful to acknowledge that, and an ugly situation has gotten downright disgusting because of it. Good luck to them, and good luck to Ted Thompson if AR gets injured or fails to perform this year.
I'm tired of this dominating the first 15 minutes of the local news.
