From MGGPackerFan---
"Most importantly, I tend to view this issue through the mind of a good politician. What does a good politician always do to insure that he/she has a chance to keep his/her position?"

First, there is no such thing as a good politician. What does a politician do to keep their position? They lie, bend the truth, and lie some more. Just like TT and his puppet, MM.

"I find it selfish of Favre to keep Rodgers from getting his chance to prove that the Packers are .500 at best without Favre,"

To me, this is football and not the third grade playground at recess. Many like yourself feel Brett is selfish and AR needs his "chance". What a crock. AR deserves nothing unless he earns it and he hasn't earned squat. The Packers and their fans deserved to have the best possible qb on the field in September and it sure as heck would not have been AR if there was an open competition with Brett. TT's ego would not allow AR to sit another year and risk losing him, thus proving AR was a wasted pick. The best qb for Green Bay is now in NY.

"Besides, what if they Packers took him back for one season and didn't get the Super Bowl? The organization would have endured all of this drama for something short of a Super Bowl...again?"

If you're suggesting that Brett is responsible for our loss to the Giants, may I point out why that is not so. The game I watched had Plaxico Burress torching our secondary all day long, due in part to our defensive line putting zero pressure on Eli Manning, who had time to write his memoirs while napping in the pocket. Also, while Brett showed up for the game, I can't say the same for our running game. It's amazing how all the TT supporters are more than willing to toss Brett under the bus just so they don't have to say anything negative about TT.

Gator, you hit it on the head when you said most of this mess wasn't Brett's doing. I feel there has been animosity between Brett and TT from the beginning of TT's reign. I also feel it came to a head after the Giants game when MM mentioned in an interview that time was running out for Green Bay to see what AR could do (I feel these were TT's words and not MM's). If I'm Brett, I'm thinking, What the hey? Why would they say that unless they didn't want me anymore? Well, we all know now that TT did not want Brett anymore under any circumstances. When Brett retired, I feel he did so out of anger and emotion and soon realized he shouldn't have to retire to make TT feel better. So now Brett is a Jet and all the folks in TT-ville are happy now that they won't be forced to watch one of the most exciting players in NFL history play for the Pack ever again. In one huge bonehead move, TT has done what no one else could---divide Packer Nation. I, personally, can't wait for TT to be gone.
