“Both Farve and Rodgers were expensive potentially costing that organization the ability to hold onto key players for positions keeping the team successful in future seasons.
Both of them should have been dealt to other teams long before their time.”

I agree.

And I know he went to the Jets for 10 minutes or so. A friend sent me a Favre Jets Jersey for my collection. Mom wears her ‘Clay Mathews’ jersey on Game Day. I usually wear my 92 Reggie White jersey. (Number retired.) ;) Going to the Vikings was a stab in the heart, so that sticks out for a lot of us.

Really pleased with the two YOUNG QBs that have been playing so far this season. Love should get off IR maybe by this weekend? Malik Willis has done an excellent job these past two weeks for us. He’s been fun to watch. :) I’ve only been to Lambeau Field twice for games, but it is close to a religious experience. ;)

And that’s my layman’s opinion, having gone to games with my Dad & Grandpa since I was a toddler. I grew up in Milwaukee and before the permanent move to Lambeau Field in 1994 they played at both fields. Brown County Stadium* was about 15 minutes from our house. So many good memories there of The Packers and The Milwaukee Braves/Brewers, too. :)

*It’s now American Family Insurance something or other. Previously Miller Field. Beer Town, USA.

My nephew does sideline commentary for a radio station that broadcasts games there. He knew Farve personally and Farve wanted to quit..end it. But fans and other players hounded him continuously to stay, as well as his agent.
He watched as Farve went downhill slowly till they simply had to release him or trade.

My niece and her husband are part owners in one of the boxes there. They go to as many games as they can or simply rent out their seats to others.

The whole dam NFL has become nothing but a money hole. Although GB, is one of the teams that actually care a bit for their players, money talks and bullshit walks.

I went back to watching baseball. Can’t wait till the “A’s” get to Las Vegas.
A person can still get game tickets at a reasonable price at a baseball game.
