2. And I was holding out hope for heads to explode in Packerland
when Favre came out of the tunnel as a Bear or a Viking...

8. It's funny how Packer fans turn on him...
after they've been worshipping him for what, 16, 17 years?

14. There's enough "dick" to go around.
Between the Packers and Favre, neither one of them handled this situation correctly.

I'd have had a lot more respect for him if he'd vocally-opposed the team's attempts to push him into retiring in the first place (since it has become obvious that is what happened.)

As for the Packers, with an iconic player like Favre, you let him go out on his own terms unless it has become obvious that he's never going to hang up the helmet willingly and he doesn't have the ability to compete any longer. Based on last season, that wasn't the case.

15. Does this mean we will have a cold winter in NY?
And I'm not talking about the Jets season.
