dbPacker in Milwaukee:

Well said…much like I mentioned earlier in the thread, we will all miss #4, but none of the PACKER fans (not favre fans) will miss the b.s….that goes with him.  Regardless of what people say in other NFL markets, those that are local know what a media whore he has turned into the last few years.

JJ from Oshkosh that’s a great post.

michael malcheski-

You are an idot, and obviously know nothing about the great Packers franchise and it’s players.  Bart can not only hold his own with Brett, but is a class act and completely devoted to the Packers franchise. I know how it feels to get a great player, Example: CC Sabathia traded to the brewers, but that doesn’t mean a championship.  Get real and stop thinking with your emotions. Tampa will be better, but you also get all the baggage with him. For years Favre has created a media circus in GB, now it’s all yours.  Above all I’m loyal to the team and not just a player. Good luck Tampa and I hope Favre does well for you.

Forget the pain in the ##### and play Garcia.  How long will he favor? us with his presence?

Hey cali, if this happens, I’m driving to New Orleans to the Game, with a Red #4 sprayed on my Chest. I may need a Medivac, but I’m going. I have 2 tickets waiting right now on the 30 yd line. A little pricey, but at least I’ll have 2 other Buc fans with me. Favre will make the Saints secondary look good & bad all in the same game. This will be a rollercoaster of a season….if we have any players left.

The Bucs don’t need receivers for Favre. With like 280 (record) interceptions, it’s clear he doesn’t utilize them. He just likes to throw and doesn’t care where it goes. Doesn’t he also own the pass attempts record too ? *rolls her eyes*

Troy (and others)
First of all, (and I say this respectfully)you are missing the point.  Not Ted. T., not coach Mike, not any intelligent fan, has once said that Rodgers is a better Q.B. than #4 or that A.R. gives us a better chance at winning this year..that’s not the issue.  #4 has cost us draft picks by leading us to believe he was finished playing, he has created uncertainty amongst the entire organization and held the team hostage for four months of every year the last few seasons.  Favre is still a great Q.B. and Bucs would be lucky to get him; it’s simply time for G.B. to start moving in a direction that has more stability in the future.

the jets suck john, maybe the jets will have a tv on the golf course during the playoffs so they can watch a real team play.

I know you Buc fans are getting excited about Favre and you should be, but (to a few of you) don’t think this is your ticket to an NFC championship win. Just keep in mind, the Packers were better than the Bucs when we played them last, and we wupped Favre and his team’s butt, coming back from something like a 2 touchdown lead that they had. The Bucs better be looking for some WRs so Brett can be useful and worth the 12 million. The O line better protect him too; you wouldn’t want him to break his hip during game 1. Wow, this means Favre isn’t going to have to wait until Nov. 24th to meet the best defensive front 7 in the NFC south. This is going to be fun.

SrAGrant, you’re a fool. I was at that game & every seat was filled, and at least 25% of them with Giants Fans. You gotta give credit where it’s do. Those Giant Fans rock. They were loud & proud & well behaved even for New Yorkers. Well except for a couple guys from the Bronx.

Enough all ready, sign with anyone!!! I don’t care who it is. JUST DO IT all ready, enough is enough of Brett. HE thinks he is GOD now not a football player. HE is hurting the game of football with his ME ME ME talk, JUST sign for god’s SAKE!!

Posted by  Bonnie Akridge, Haddon Heights, NJ on 08/06  at  11:07 AM

In Halloween, the doctor tells the sherrif that death has come to his little town. Well let me say that drama has come to yours. Good luck with his royal pain in the patooty. All I can say is for your sakes, I hope he lives up to all HE thinks he’s worth. Maybe his “emotional wounds” will heal in Tampa. What a joke.

Posted by  michael malcheski, ohio on 08/06  at  11:06 AM

Starr couldnt hold a candle to “Brett”. Starr used to trip on his shoelaces and Zeke would have to clean-up the mess—packers unsung hero zeke bratkowski (sp?) someone who knew       the"Golden boy”????? Nitsche, willie wood, UGHH dave robinson—etc lombardi controlled the media and just about all green bay.. today that would not “wash” and many of the former packers today would be sent “packing” (morals, need i say more?)deacon

What a great fit for the bucs.  to get a future HOF’er who still has a lot to contribute could easily lead the team to the super bowl this year.  Packer loss is Bucs gain.  Lucky you.

Posted by  blake clinkscales, FLOREIN LA on 08/06  at  11:05 AM

Garcia is better 4 the bucs.Farve may have a strong arm but jeff is more mobile and knows the offence jeff needs play makers.farve is the leader in int. of all time.  GARCIA will not loose his job.Send that double minded old bagg 2 the jets we dont want him

BigBucFan, wow! Some truth there no doubt! I, oddly enough agree with you there. This is the NFL though and if there are any injuries to one or more of your backs it may get a bit hairy…The one thing Brett can do is sling it and if the running game is producing watch out for the PAP over the top all day!

Posted by  BigBucFan, Sarasota on 08/06  at  11:05 AM

Good call Spice. Just got word the Glazers are going to build a giant Dome from Dale Mabry over Raymond James to the Fields at 1 Buc Place. They will install a 10 Billion Ton Chiller & 20 Story Cooling Tower to Make Brett feel comfortable. Good news to all those that sit on the East Side of the Stadium, the Sun will no longer Beam down on you. Go Bucs!!!

To Favre or not to Favre? that is the question….....

Posted by  SrA Grant, Goldsboro NC on 08/06  at  11:04 AM

I have to say having a sure fire first ballot hall of famer will be nice. You have to look at this as a whole.  The Bucs did not even sell out there playoff game this past season.  With brett it is an upgrade as well as selling tickets.  So Brett is not only wanted by Gruden but also by the Glazer family.  Imagine the jersey sells as well as the attendance. The only thing i wory about is team chemistry. However Brett is the classic Locker romm guy. I beleive this is the best choice. Besides when is the last time a Bucs starting QB finished the season. The Greatest Iron man ever to play will change that. GO BUCS

Posted by  John Lupo, New York on 08/06  at  11:02 AM

joeberard. The Jets offensive line is as follows:

LT-D’Brickahaw Ferguson
LG-Alan Faneca(best FA O-lineman in ‘08)
C-Nick Mangold(future Pro Bowler)
RT-Brandon Moore
RG-Damien Woody(got him from NE….need I say more?)

Name one player from TB that is as good as those 5.

To JJ,

You might be happy now, but you WILL be singing a different tune when the packers miss the playoffs. I will bet that Rodgers doesn’t make the whole season. He either gets benched or hurt.
Brian Brohm will be a better Pro QB that Rodgers. When was the last time a Univ of California QB succeeded in the NFL? Much less one coached by Tedford?

to calisaint garcia had 13 td passes last year not 28

Brett Farve still has a couple good seasons in him, and congratulations to Tampa if you land him. However, please make note that you will likely have to enlarge your locker room door to allow his head to fit thru.  As for those of us up here, Brett proved, last season,  he can’t play in cold weather any more.  Tampa or a dome would suit him fine.

Posted by  BigBucFan, Sarasota on 08/06  at  10:58 AM

Hey Patricia, the only thing funnier than Favre not being as agile as Garcia is the Thought of the Bucs’ line breaking down. That ain’t gonna happen. Now they’ll really have a reason to block. Favre is healthy & running well. This will be like semi retirement for Favre. He can hand the ball off every play and get at least 5 yds. Passing will be optional. He and Chucky are gonna go at it like cats & dogs. Is Favre the one who can finally tame Chucky? I doubt it.

Posted by  joe berard, portsmouth, nh from tampa on 08/06  at  10:58 AM

to chaz in tampa, thanks for being the voice of reason. i just can stand fans bashing a qb that lifted a team from the basement of the nfc to champions (walter,Jimmy newton) all you packer fan-brett bashers should take a lambeau leap off a bridge…..
