Not sure where Mark is meeting these fans who don't want him back, but the overwhelming majority do. I'm sure it's possible that some just don't speak out that they don't want Favre back since that is blasphemous in Wisconsin...Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14561089277086762996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-40793800342202713902007-02-03T22:53:00.000-05:002007-02-03T22:53:00.000-05:00Wooo.

I'm pretty sure I've talked to more than one who are quietly ready for the Aaron Rodgers era already. It's not that they don't love Favre, it's that he's, well, obviously not what he was ten or even five years ago.markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02367754765898020281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-20907575838136511282007-02-03T16:54:00.000-05:002007-02-03T16:54:00.000-05:0073 out of 100 is ridiculous.

Since on average, a team will win once in 32 years, that really can't be the sole purpose. Actually the real purpose of any franchise is to make money. They partially do that by selling tickets and merchandise. <br /><br />Let me guess that replacing Favre next year will not net the Packers any more revenue. In addition, we can fully expect any GB QB next year to start for a year or two and then be replaced. Give the fans what they want!<br /><br />The NFL cares as much about concussions as it does about steroid use. They don't really like it and will publicly try to dissuade players but ultimately know it is an intrinsic part of their game. 310 lb O-linemen aren't grown on trees. They are created in the weight room and Balco lab. Also players know they can sit out with a concussion and can also be replaced and never see a starting role again. It is a brutal business.CycleDanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08933822029791530613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-31964230186615898952007-02-03T14:26:00.000-05:002007-02-03T14:26:00.000-05:00Yeah, I'd guess Morneau would be over $10M/year, t...Yeah, I'd guess Morneau would be over $10M/year, too. Cabrera, on the other hand, would probably be able to nearly double whatever Morneau gets. It's gonna hurt when they're both in the East bashing the O's for years on end. And Favre may be hurting his legacy (remember when he was in the debate for best QB ever?) but it's hard to see how he holds the Pack back. Didn't it take the franchise about 25 years to "start over" from the Lombardi era? Like, right up until they traded for Brett Favre? The 4 straight years of retirement talk and the obvious slippage in skills are annoying, but he still isn't getting hurt so let him keep playing. <br /><br />P.S. - screw Belicheck and the whole B.S.

The overall record is 12-3, but that is against some of the toughest in-state competition in the country. <br /><br />They have a loss to Lawrence NOrth obviously minue Oden and Conley, but still a solid team this year. They have a loss to Warren Central which features Ohio State-bound junior Walter Offutt, and htey have a 1 point loss to state power Muncie Central, who was only the state runner-up the last two years to those Oden/Conley teams.<br /><br />Not to mentiont hey just absolutely CRUSHED nationally ranked Loyola Academy on national TV. To show you how good basketball is in the state of Indiana even minus the Lawrence North monster this year (who set a state record for winning 50 straight games this year, thanks in large part to those two). North Central is ranked 7th in the class 4A top 10. 11 of the top 16 teams fedd into North Central half of the state tournament as well. <br /><br />What does that say about Indiana basketball when the 7th best team just destroyed a nationally ranked one? No one is even talking about the #1 team in 3A, the next smallest class, that is ranked 4th in the overall state poll (regardless of class)<br /><br />All from the land of Butler!
