I also have to agree with Pete completely on what he said. The Pack had a nice surprising run last year surpassing expectations and that can only lead to disapointment from the fans this year. Not that I thik they are going to be awful, its just that expectations are inevitably going to higher and someone has to take the fall for those not being met moe, I agree with most of the pts on your list.

If I see the topic on the SportsCenter rundown, I turn the channel. I blame both parties for acting like ego maniacs. Thompson shouldn't be so quick to disregard a legend, but a legend shouldn't abuse his status. Both men have left me with a sick feeling in my stomach and have managed to take away all my excitement for the upcoming season. Nice work. Dave,

One could argue that with Brohm in the mix, maybe letting Rodgers go wouldn't be a terrible thing... Favre comes back for a year, maybe two... Brohm takes over Rodgers role as the under-study... Pack deal Rodgers during camp... I'm getting dizzy... must stop writing...

The Packers are going to regress a bit this year with or without him, why not put Brett in the driver's seat and let him take the heat for the Packers taking a step back?

I've also heard the boyfriend who broke up with us and now wants us back so he can ride us one more season for his own selfish reasons analogy, too. Either way, he's toying with our emotions. He's actually counting on that, as well. Using his popularity to force a decision--any decision. Then he's using the media as a self-marketing tool in Hattiesburg to show other teams how fit and QB-ready he is for another season. Sounds like he's held the Packers hostage since shortly after his retirement and that first "itch" to come back that never materialized. And then his answer to the "Where are your Wranglers?" from Erin Andrews on the ESPY's...honestly, it took him 10 seconds to realize he was supposed to say "this is a new line of Wranglers, really." 10 seconds? C'mon...you had a chance to win me back there and you blew it. On the other hand, 10 points for J Timberlake on his numerous cracks all night. We were thinking it, he said it. At first, I thought you had written some of that content for the ESPY's, David K., sounded an awful lot like you...and I know how you love JT. I feel so used. The divorce analogy was excellent.

I love the lead...works nicely to start off the piece. I agree with everything you said. Favre has to learn that he made a decision and he has to stick to it. I think it's disrespectful of him to keep doing this to a franchise that has been so good to him over the years. Yes he is one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history but that doesn't entitle him to be treated any differently than anyone else in this world. Go Bears! Great article!

Rodgers will own your Grossman/Orton/Will Furrer/Steve Stenstrom/Moses Moreno quarterback rotation... and just kidding about resenting your Green Bay comment...
