I think it’s called “Bought Into My Own Hype Syndrome”. Symptoms include arrogance, immaturity & the unique ability to make starry eyed fans believe you’re one of them.
But seriously, he needs to retire & get this story out of the news before he does more damage to his legacy. He can be remembered fondly or he can be the butt of jokes. It’s up to him.
Mark my words, Ted Thompson is the one in the mix that will be the butt of jokes. Talk about Favre's ego all you want, but this whole imbroglio is a symptom of Thompson's ego. He wants so desperately to put his stamp on the team. Rodgers was his first draft pick. But Rodgers has never even started a game and he has been injured twice. Favre has the longest streak ever and was voted Packer's MVP last season. How do you dump your MVP, pro-bowl QB for an unknown quantity that has shown durability issues without even getting playing time?
He who laughs last, laughs best. Thompson won't be doing much laughing. When, not if, Rodgers goes down with an injury this year, Packers fans that stuck by Thompson will begin to see him for the fool he is.
