His loitering has made it difficult for the Packers to build for the future. Now they can start to plan ahead rather than a season at a time.

With Rex Grossman still at QB and with your best receiver now playing for us? I don’t think so. It’s All Day Adrian Peterson and the Vikings FTW this year, dawg!

Nah. I’m picking the Lions.
BWHA HA!
Not really.

If you think that you guys can do something with Berrien be my guest. Adrian Peterson OTOH will be a major impediment to our division victory but we’ll stop him. This time.

The 2008 NFC North might be the first division that nobody wins.
As a Packer fan, it’s going to be weird seeing an injury report listing GB’s QB as “out”.

Oh dear.
The timing of this announcement couldn’t be worse - now the pundits and announcers only have six months to decide whose ass to kiss all year.

Peyton and Brady are the annointed ones. I think Eli will be joining this list after last year. Also, Romo will continue to be the second coming as long as he’s dating celebrities.

Yes, and the same for him as quarterback.

WOO HOO!!!
It’s about time. Don’t let the doorknob hit you in the ass, Brett.
How fitting that the last throw of his career was a game losing interception in a Conference Championship game his team was supposed to win. I’m very happy that that play is the one that he and Packers fans will always have to live with – that he left the field for the last (but far from the first) time as a team killing choke artist.
Buh BYE, Brett. I can’t wait to see Aaron Rogers.
DtC, Packer hating Vikings fan.
[/QUOTE]
I was going to say that I thought the improvement of the Vikings was a major factor in him leaving. But screw that.
Bye Brett - anyone who wasn’t totally blind or deluded will at least admit you made the game fun to watch (with the commentary turned off a lot of the time).
Villa, Bears hating Packers fan who can’t summon the energy to hate the Vikings. Still, I guess they need a rival, even if that rival doesn’t care about them.
I’d say this just about guarantees a playoff spot for the Lions.

Are you serious? the Packers have done nothing in free agency, they have built through the draft and have one of the youngest teams in the NFL. They still have plenty of skill on the team and a QB, who hopefully can come in and take the reins with some confidence. Thye were 13-3 last year and took the evenutal Super Bowl champs to OT in the NFC Championship with a ton of the team coming back. Yes, of course Favre is the most important piece, but this team is not doomed for the near future at all. I predict a 10-6 season.
Rodgers played quite well in the 2nd half against the Cowboys in his only real action last year, almost pulling the team out of the hole Favre dug the team into. My only real worry is his fragility. In 2006 Rodgers came in to a game while Brett got injured and promptly suffered a season-ending foot injury. This year, Rodgers pulled a hammy in practice the week after the Cowboys game (when Favre’s status was unclear and he was getting the starter’s portion of the snaps in practice) and spent the following few games on the OUT column of the injury report. Of course, compared to Favre, almost any quarterback other than Manning looks fragile.

I was sure he’d come back next year, so I’m surprised. He ws a very entertaining player and a great quarterback, although the commentator love got so overbearing at the end that it was hard to take. When that dies down in two or three years, he’ll be missed.

You didn’t finish that last sentence. That’s “…team killing choke artist, with a Super Bowl ring”. How many Lombardi Trophies do the Vikings have, again? And you have the stones to call Favre and the Packers choke artists?
There are times when you say things that are utterly incomprehensible, things that demonstrate serious delusions, like this:
…but I do have to give you credit for having the gall to say things that are so patently ridiculous. Not many do.
[Tony Kornheiser calling a MNF game between the Packers and someone else in 2008]
You know, watching this game has really reminded me of Brett Favre. Remember how much fun he used to have when he was playing? It was almost like he was a kid again, just out in the backyard, throwing the football around, having a good time. It’s so hard to believe that we’re not going to get to see him play anymore, because he always seemed to have such a good time out there…
