I can't believe what I am reading. I am surprised and somewhat appalled by what some of you are saying about Brett & his possible return from retirement.

I live in NC and can honestly say that I never followed football until I met a man from Green Bay. Since 1988, I have listened to my husband rave about the Packers, the Lombardi trophy, & all the Packer trivia. During football season, we are the house with the huge blowup Packer in the front yard . We have Brett Farve pictures in the "man room" and a dog named "Lambeau". Thanks to my in-law's which still live in GB, our 1st born son was given Packer onesies to wear at birth. I can go on & on but hopefully you get the idea......my husband (& sons) are diehard Packer fans. Although, I get tired of it sometimes, I have grown to appreciate the spirit of the Packer fans and over the years, I have enjoyed watching Brett Farve.

Brett Farve is no doubt a LEGEND and deserves more respect for all that he has accomplished. Some people say "Packer Fan" not "Farve Fan". However, from what I've seen over the years, the GB Packer history book would probably read very differently if it wasn't for Brett and his last 16 years as QB. T.T. wants the glory that "Farve" has given the Packers over the years. He wants the opportunity to rebuild the Packers which is fine but his methods over the years are questionable. I can understand Brett's wishy washy attitude since T.T. took control. All the blue collar workers in GB know what politics is like when facing layoffs, etc. They should understand how Brett must have felt after all that he had accomplished for the Packer organization when his dedication was not only unnoticed but unappreciated . Brett doesn't need the money now nor did he need it 3 years ago; he didn't have to stay when the fans were begging him to stay; it's my belief he stayed for the fans & the love of the game and kept quite about the Packer organization & the backstabbing tactics of T.T. It's no doubt in my mind that Brett gave his heart & soul to GB. Now I ask......where are his fans now? At this point, I'm truely disappointed in the Packer fans; they aren't what I thought they were. Ruthless comes to mind. Teddy boy has something to prove and he's cut throat.....I don't know the man personally but he's a GM and most (not all) people in those type of positions get there by throwing associates to the dogs. Wake up people & support Brett whether he returns or not. As for A.R., many QB's wait longer than 3 years. I would happily sit behind Brett another year or possibly 2. I just think too much cheese has clogged the brains in GB. Brett should have been welcomed back with open arms, possibly win a SB and then quietly retire once & for all. It could have happened that way but POLITICS and POWER took center stage. Now....who knows?
