[...] August, 2008 – I posted about it here on this blog: Sounds like Brett had a good opener with the New York Jets…..even though the Jets eventually [...]

I have a feeling that Brett will be happy wherever he goes. He will be getting those checks either way. Too bad for us fans…

UGH! I am so happy i will have another person to go into therapy with. My heart has been torn in two, i guess now i am a jets fan and still die hard packer fan. I want Brett to be happy but it makes my stomach chrun to see him in green and white.

And you’re right, it seemed so strange the way the whole thing was handled.

@Mike – haha, I didn’t even pickup on that ‘almost all of my wife’ thing until you pointed it out guess I knew what you meant lol

It is hard to live in Wisconsin and not get bitten by just a little bit of Favre fever.. even peripherally….well, at least that is how it used to be. It’s a sad thing.

I do wish him well in New York, though.:)>-

@K – I do completely agree with you on this – - the Packers should have welcomed him back with open arms the very minute he said he had the itch to play again. For all the opinions I’ve read on this, and the way its sometimes portrayed in the media – I don’t hold bad feelings towards Favre at all. To me, he’s always been about the game . . and that is a rarity in this day and age. This is a guy who just loves to play and I love that about him. I’m terribly bitter towards the Packer franchise for not jumping on Favre the very minute he said he wanted to play again.

It’s not like they’d be taking back the 2007 NFC championship QB, or anything.8-|

I meant “with my wife and almost all of her immediate family transplanted here.” :”>

We didn’t leave part of my wife behind… :”>

We’re don’t pay much attention to sports, so if had been anyone else, this story would never have hit our radar. However, with almost all of my wife and all her immediate family transplanted here to Arkansas and our youngest daughter, who had until 2007 never been to Wisconsin, now living there, it’s would be difficult not to hear about Favre. Then add to that our older daughter’s Packer-mania.

The thing I like about Favre is that he is an “old” guy doing great in a young man’s job. We will probably watch a Packer game or two, especially when we are visiting in Wisconsin, but, even though I don’t know anything about the Jets, Favre — the old guy — will probably still be on the edge of our “radar.”

As a life long Packer Backer and a Favre fan, I am utterly and eternally disappointed in the Packers. When Favre sent them that first text message saying “He had the itch” they should have welcomed him back with open arms. How can you ask one of the greatest (if not THE greatest) QB to stay home?

When Jordan gave up the NBA for baseball and decided he wanted back in, can you imagine if the Bulls had said no thanks, we got a new point guard, stay home? They, unlike the Packers, brought back their franchise player…and went on to win 3 more titles…

Yea, it all seemed out of character…and completely out of the blue. I thought the pain of his retirement was bad…and hard to get used to. The Jets? Good grief. 8-|
