That’s right, we’re talking about none other than Brett Favre.

Favre Finished?
Dec 24th
I feel stupid even writing it, because no one knows what King Brett Favre is going to do. Frankly, I could care less. As you may recall, I swore off Brett earlier this season after his conversation with the fine folks up in Detroit. However, I know some of our readers are still firmly planted [...]
Fox Sports vs. ESPN Or The Non-Story That Was A Story
Oct 24th
As we all know by now, ESPN felt Favregate was a non-story. They even went so far as to circulate an internal memo telling staffers as much, and ordering them not to report on it, as Steffen detailed here. Then, when Brett Favre Almighty held his press conference on Wednesday to somewhat (lamely) deny he [...]
Brett Favre – Who? Me?
Oct 23rd
Well, it’s all crystal clear now. Brett Favre absolutely didn’t do anything wrong in speaking with the Detroit Lions prior to their week two game against the Green Bay Packers.

Before I get to the mind numbing douchebaggery that is the latest Brett Favre fiasco, let me share a few quick observations and opinions regarding the Green Bay Packers’ 34-14 dismantling of the Indianapolis Colts.

Marinelli Refuses to Refute Favre Report
Oct 21st
See how I used all of those ‘R’ words in the headline? Some people call that alliteration.

Brett Favre, You Are Dead To Me
Oct 20th
Blinded with rage, is about the best way I can describe the way I feel about the latest Brett Favre drama.

Brett Favre: Something Isn’t Quite Right Here
Sep 8th
That was the thought that kept running through my head yesterday as I watched Brett Favre throw the ball around in a New York Jets uniform. It wasn’t just the non-familiar uniform though. It was the whole way Brett carried himself. Brett is a boisterous, excitable guy, which is part of the reason we loved [...]
Internal Packers Email: Mark Murphy on the Favre Trade
Sep 3rd
Well, I’ve been sitting on this for a little while, for various reasons, but in the lull leading up to week one of the NFL season, I’ve decided that now is the time. For what, you ask? Well, in case you didn’t have enough back in July and early August, we here at Total Packers [...]

There’s no doubt Brett Favre is and always will be an iconic figure in Green Bay Packers lore. However, there are also some bad feelings floating around Titletown these days.

No One Wants Brett
Jul 29th
No one wants Brett Favre. Well, except for the scumbag, tampering Minnesota Vikings and probably Jon Gruden. Brett filed his reinstatement papers today, which will essentially force the beloved Green and Gold’s hand one way or another. Meddler and NFL commissioner, Roger Goodell, meanwhile, said he wouldn’t act for 24 hours in hopes that the [...]
Trade Brett Favre and Pay Ryan Grant
Jul 28th
Ted Thompson – I’ve had your back from day one. I watched with glee as you zanily traded back again and again in every draft, nodded my head in approval when you frugally passed over high-priced free agents, but now you, Mike McCarthy, and Mark Murphy have a big sloppy mess on your hands. Two, [...]
