• Brett Favre a Traitor?

  Filed under Brett Favre, Packer Opinions

  You probably have heard about the latest Brett Favre rumor. At first I thought I wasn’t going to address it but since it is the biggest thing going on in Green Bay I felt compelled to make my thoughts known on the issue.

  At this point it is only a rumor but a very serious rumor. For those of you who haven’t heard, Jay Glazer has reported that Brett Favre supposedly told the Lions everything he knew about our offense. While it didn’t end up affecting the game (since we beat them) it does raise up some red flags. Could the once Packer legend really turn on the Packers and become a traitor to help the lowly Lions?

  I think the real issue with this rumor is not that Favre helped the Lions but that he was willing to sell out his teammates and his loyal fans. I don’t know if it is just me but I don’t think I deserve to be treated like this. I supported Favre for 16 years and if this rumor is true (which it could easily be false) Favre just spit in my face. We all know that you hate Thompson and McCarthy, Favre. What I want to know is why you are treating your former teammates and fans (and possibly some former fans) like this? What did I ever do to you? Why can’t you just let it go? You didn’t get your way. Life’s hard. You don’t always get your way. That doesn’t give you the right to throw your former teammates and fans under the bus because you have a grudge against Thompson.

  During the whole fiasco I really didn’t want to pick a side. I knew both sides were at fault. Since Favre has been traded he just won’t let it go though. You don’t see the Packers attacking him. Favre continues to sling mud though. He is currently acting like a young child who didn’t get his way so he is throwing a temper tantrum. Why can’t you just get over it Favre? I hated how the whole thing went down and just wanted to forget about it but you just won’t let it go.

  While you might think you are hurting Thompson, at this point you are just embarrassing yourself Favre. Just let it go since all you are doing is hurting your legacy. You used to be my favorite Packer of all time but that is in serious Jeopardy now. If this continues you are seriously risking your whole Packers legacy. Favre, is it really worth throwing your whole legacy away just to get back at Thompson. You worked so hard to build your legacy in Green Bay but if you continue on your current path it might be all gone pretty quick. What are you then going to do once you finally retire? You will essentially have nothing left in the NFL since you alienated your true fans. While your new fans in New York might like you now it won’t last. Your Packer fans will be behind you for the rest of your life.

  If you think I am being harsh on Favre, you don’t even want to think what other Packer fans are thinking. Some Packer fans are thinking about not even retiring Favre’s number and not even letting him in the Packer Hall of Fame. I think that is a little drastic at this point but if Favre doesn’t stop immediately I would really start thinking about it. Favre has really ruffled a lot of feathers and he will have to work hard to get the respect he once held back.

  While I know Fave would never do this I think he owes his teammates and his fans an apology. None of us have done anything to him except support him. How does he show his grattitude? By throwing us under the bus. I beg of Favre to just stop and play out the rest of his career. After a couple years he then should come back to Green Bay since most will be forgiven by that time (at least for most people). While I know this would never happen I hope Favre would read this and see what he is doing to his former team and fans. We don’t deserve what you are doing to us.

  With all that said I hope that these rumors aren’t true since Favre legacy will never overcome it if it is always true. While most Packer fans (including myself) will eventually forgive him, this will forgive be a tarnish of his legacy. While it would be nic to know the truth, the sad thing is we will never know since the truth will never come out. Obviously Favre would never admit to doing it and there will never be any proof that he didn’t do it so we will be stuck with the question of whether he did or didn’t do it. I don’t know if it is just me but I don’t think Packers deserve this.
