A friend of mine went to the "cold game".

Said he didn't feel right for two days after it.

Why did Eli look so much more at ease in the cold than brett?

I'm interested by all the negativity toward the guy. I don't understand it. You'd think the Packers front office would have a jet idling at the mississippi airport just in case he decided to give them one more year. I'll promise you this. They will not make the playoffs any time soon without him.

Other than Peyton and Brady, anyone have a team whose QB is clearly better than the "old man" right now? Last time I looked, this was the win now league. All this talk about needing to develop young QBs is laughable. Most will never reach journeyman status.

We all know how this ends. They will have to release him. He will sign with another team, probably a very good team. They will go to the playoffs, the Pack will not. The GM and head coach of the Packers will lose their jobs and probably have to enter the witness protection program.
 
Somewhere John Elway and his big teech are laughing at the soap opera.

Hey, you're lookin for an whoopin', posting that kind of crap! :D
I blame Holmgren for the second Superbowl loss. He was all ready too busy figuring out where he could go to do the GM+coach gig, and had his head up his arse instead of on winning.

Their list:


1. Tom Brady, New England Patriots. Coming off a stellar 2007 season, his long string of success in the postseason may make him the best of all time.

2. Peyton Manning, Indianapolis Colts. More No. 1A than No. 2. If you can find a weakness in Manning's game, let us know.

3. Carson Palmer, Cincinnati Bengals. Throws the ball as well as anyone from recent NFL years. He has great size and a big arm -- now everybody in Cincy needs to take a deep breath and let him work.

4. Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints. A couple seasons removed from the Saints magical postseason run, some forget about Brees, but he is the straw that stirs one of the league's the most prolific passing attacks. Last year, he did it without a running game.

5. Ben Roethlisberger, Pittsburgh Steelers. Has a big arm and better mobility than one would expect from a big man. Despite all his natural ability, however, his greatest assets are his playmaking savvy and winner's mentality.

6. Matt Hasselbeck, Seattle Seahawks. The 'Hawks offense goes as Hasselbeck goes, and that's meant good things in Seattle in recent years. His arsenal has been depleted, however, so this season he may struggle to put up numbers that accurately reflect his standing on this list.

7. Tony Romo, Dallas Cowboys. If it weren't for Jessica Simpson, people might actually be forced to talk about Romo's stellar performances on the field, which included 36 TD passes last season. With a few more strong seasons and some success in the playoffs, he will join the ranks of the elite.

8. Brett Favre, Green Bay Packers? Yes, Favre is still this good if it turns out he becomes "unretired" -- especially if he plays like the '07 version. If somehow he gets the gig in Green Bay again, he has a bevy of weapons and a great system in his favor.


Ben R? Drew Brees? Hasselbeck? Romo? Are you kidding me? Brees and Romo are nice QBs who have never put their teams on their back and taken them deep in the playoffs like Favre has done repeatedly. Ben is a journeyman QB who had the good fortune to get drafted by a very good team. Hasselbeck is a forgettable guy playing on a good team in a weak division. How many playoff games has Carson Palmer won? At some point people get bored by your "potential."
 
Hey AAA

Now that its coming out that Brett is a 2 faced LIAR does it change your opinion?

the papers are reporting that Bret used his PACKER ISSED CELL PHONE to make repeated calls to the vikings HEAD COACH and OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR.....

So Brett changes his mind in mid March....Ted thompson says " Great" and wants to fly down to meet him....then Brett calls up right before the trip and says " I want to stay retired"....

Now it appears that he was trying to set up a deal and talking to the Vikings all along....yet he was on Greta saying he was lied too, decieved, hurt yadee yadee ya

Yes or no AAA...if this is true would it change your opinion of lord Brett?

I'm not sure I see your point. You're surprised that people in pro sports are not always totally straightforward? It's not a secret that he has had problems with the Packer front office for years. He wanted Randy Moss, no dice, he wanted them to at least interview Mooch for the head coaching job, no dice, he wanted them to go after Moss again, no dice...

I have not really taken sides in this, except to say that I thought the team owed him the decency to do something quickly. Now it appears the Commissioner agrees with me. I also said I didn't think anyone would trade for him, and that if he came back with another team and the Packers didn't win the Super Bowl, the coach and GM were toast.

I don't understand the hostility toward the guy. All he's ever done is lay it totally on the line for the team. He passed for >4000 yards last year with something like 28 TDs and 15 picks. The team thinks Rodgers is a better option. Fine, let them live with that decision. We all know he will not back up Rodgers. The team is not going to pay him $13 mill to sit and the fans would riot. So the team should drop this unseemly attempt to keep him retired by the prospect of being a backup.
