(Some) Packers Fans Say the Darnedest Things…

Packers Fans Say the Darnedest Things

Earlier today on this site you (hopefully) read a well-reasoned and realistic take on Ted Thompson’s methodology of team building. Of course, there are those that disagree completely, even vehemently.

Harsh words belie their anger towards the Packers GM that has them in the playoff hunt every season. They seem to prefer the approach teams like the Eagles and Jets took – going out and signing expensive free agents.

That begs the question, which teams have been utter failures the last two years and are now deconstructing their teams and starting over?  Well, you know the answer…

So, for your perusal and without any judgement on our part, here are some comments found on the Packers Facebook page and other Packers Facebook fan pages:

 

“Ted Thompson needs to go every time we get a chance to get a good player he doesnt do anything to get them fire him”

“someone has to get there act together they are letting to many good players slide by”

“Ted Thompson ‘s ego is starting to make Jerry Jones self righteous narcissism look like childs play”

“And that 1st round bust mike Neal better be on his way out the door”

“TT NEEDS TO GO…BITCH GOT LUCKY IN 2010…..BUT SAME OL BULLSHIT….FIRE TED”

“do cheeseheads not understand he dismantled our team”

“No need to get upset peepz, its TT, his Ego is bigger than the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field.”

Thawing the Ice Between Favre and Rodgers

aaron rodgers brett favre shaking hands

“The impossible is possible tonight.”  Billy Corgan (performed by The Smashing Pumpkins)

 

For five years, there has been an icy chill in the air for the Green Bay Packers, their fans, and a former player.

The divorce of Brett Favre and the Packers still weighs heavily on the hearts of many. The former favorite son now a bastard child to many who support the green and gold, hoping to never see him around the shadows of Lambeau again.

His successor, Aaron Rodgers, has said that after the departure of Favre from the Packers, these two former teammates have no relationship, despite spending four seasons on the same roster.

Favre has  made comments ranging from his not being surprised about Rodgers’ success to his being surprised it took Rodgers three seasons to win a Super Bowl which left everyone wondering what his true feelings  about Rodgers were.

And stuck in the middle were the fans, still hashing it out five years later, about whether mentioning Favre was grounds for banishment in the eyes of some.

That may have changed last night.

Appearing together at the NFL Awards Ceremony, Rodgers and Favre shaking hands may have been the moment that was needed for the ice to finally break in the strenuous relationship between Favre and the Packers.

Their exchange, while scripted, offered at least a glimpse of a life where both quarterbacks could at least have a quasi relationship with each other, not for personal reasons, but for the good of the Packers.
