Brees I can buy, but you are honestly telling me that you would rather have Manning on the VIkings than Rodgers? And what the fuck does “and Favre when he was playing” mean? i suppose you would rather have Montana, too, when he was playing. ---

Rodgers isn’t worthy to wash the skid marks out of Brett Favre’s jock. ---

Favre swept Rodgers 2-0 last just year, had a better record, better stats and a better QB rating. Eli has a ring. Rodgers does not, and they’ve been in the League about the same amount of time. Hah! Sack! ---

Jones pushes off and doesn’t get called of course. The zebras have their usual instructions to take care of the Packers. ---

Again. It’s Dio. Do you listen to Jack Chick in discussions of religion? Do you listen to Charles Manson in discussions of Beatles lyrics? Do you listen to Westboro Baptist in discussions of tolerance? It’s Dio. Don’t waste your time. ---

Don’t waste your time. No, I’m genuine with that. Hat’s off to him. By the way, I slurped Favre for years. I’d watch him dismantle the Lions twice a year and remember saying “Man, I wish I had a quarterback like that.” ---

So did I, and nobody did it more than Packer fans, but now they act like he was Trent Dilfer. Rodgers did not get in on that touchdown, but of course the zebras pretyended that he did. Doesn’t it bother Packer fans that they can’t win on the level? ---
