Favre: "This is the best team I've ever been on"

As a Pack fan, it pains me to say it, but I think he's right. Again, Thompson, see what you can do when you sign GOOD FREE AGENTS (Pat Williams, Antoine Winfield, Jared Allen, Steve Hutchinson) and hit more than once every five years at the top of the draft (Kevin Williams, EJ Henderson, Adrian Peterson, Chad Greenway). Compare that to Justin Harrell, Pat Lee, Jordy Nelson, AJ Hawk, Brandon Jackson, Brian Brohm.... I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.

Wow, Favre. Way to insult the Green Bay fans even more. I think the year you actually won the Superbowl would currently stand as the best team you've ever been on. What an insult to Reggie White's memory, too. He's so caught up in the moment that he's forgetting how he got here. If the Vikings win the Big Dance, then he can spout that stuff. Until then, you're nothing until they put on the rings.

totally wrong, the 09' Vikings could have some better spots, but NO WAY they are better than the 95/96 Packers. No possible way. Bennet and Levens was the best 1-2 punch and at tight end the Pack couldnt be stopped. Defensivley, youd rather have the Williams and Allen rather than the Gravedigger/Dotson and Reggie White? NOT A SHOT. How about the back end? In my opinion, not even close. Favre, your really making me sell your gear.......

SCOT: You sound like a very angry Packers Fan and you should be! Be ANGRY at the poorly managed team not at Favre. Favre loves to play the game. Many Packer fans are ticked off that he's doing so well. Sometimes I think people forget that Favre put Green Bay on the map and people from around the WORLD flew to Green Bay to watch this guy play! As far as Reggie White's memory.......???? Favre said best TEAM..not player. Go FAVRE!

Hey Packer Fans - come down off the ledges - what a thin skinned whiny bunch you have become. You all say Brett is not welcome and is dead to all of you but yet you continue to hang on to his every word and search for any perceived slight - real or imagined. Is Favre that much in your heads? Wow. Sounds like in addition to the fans he's also in the heads of your coaches and players too and that's why he handed it to them last week.. Anyone who didn't want Favre to come back this year just doesn't understand the entertainment factor he has added to the NFC North. IMO though nobody tops Reggie White but AD and Chester Taylor outclass Bennett and Levens.

Hey Scot, if you hate Brett just come out and say it, don't dissect every little word. re we going to debate what "it" and "is" means all over again? At least Lebowski can admit how well Brett is playing and put the blame where it deserves to go, on Thompson. If you want to build through the draft, then you have to hit on almost every pick, which he doesn't! And if you want to tout the 95/96 Packers, take a breath and look back at how many came as free agents, and all said because of Brett and Reggie. The Packers owe Brett far more than he owes them. I'd rather watch Brett when he's playing in 5 years than watch "ARot", you can see in his face it's always someone else's fault for not making a play. I'll say it loud and proud, FAVRE RULES!

Jim as a Packer fan you are correct Brett did as much for the team than anyone has. I loved to watch him still do and hope he does well except against the Packers. He epitimises the best in great quarter backs and team mates. I wish everyone would quit being so critical of him , he has a right to his opinion and it is just that his opinion.
The Packers made a business decision and I guess we will see how it turns out. I think AR is great not in Bretts league yet but we will see. I am happy watching both play each has a unique talent.

At first I thought it was a slap in the face to his former Green Bay teams, the ones he won a championship with and most recently went 13-3. You simply can't make that claim after 5 games. Look at what he's actually saying: this Vikings team is not "the best," as he stated: he's not the most eloquent of people when speaking. I think he just means this team has the most individual talent. The question is, can they win a championship? I hope so...

point 1
Ok look,
Even if the Vikings lose some games, even if B F can't go the whole season, even if we "even if" ourselves to death, this single season, more than makes up for the Hershel trade. We are redeemed.

point 2
And after his career is ending, let's look at Jared Allen stats next to Reggie White. I think you will be shocked into not being a Green Bay fan anymore, or the team will fold, and they will make a movie in titletown based on Slapsot, the hockey movie, so that you can have at least one more use for the stadium.

point 3
Funny how you curd suckers think you can tell us what B F means with his statements.

Wow Jim, Favre loves to play the game huh? I didn't realize that. If only someone had pointed that out a couple billion times over the course of his career.

I took it as a backhanded slap at Chilly and the ownership... lol. What's a football team made up of? On-field talent, coaching talent, front office talent. Favre only seems to have compliments for one of those.

dean, of course he has a right to his opinion. Why do you think people don't have a right to have their own opinions about what he said? You don't feel maybe just a little bit weird telling people they don't have a right to express their opinions about Brett's... opinions?

Good God Bradly! Do you not care about your fellow man? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see what you and Matt are continuing to do, and that is stir up a hornets nest over nothing!

I understand, I get it! Thats what NO-OBS do even if you lack merit and credibility! Its what todays level of journalism has sunk too in order to sell a story!

As a football fan and ex player of 45+ years, Its my humble opinion and right to believe what Favre is claiming! Does that make it true? Not in the least!

In the end, we can only take him at his word just like any of the rest of you can be taken! So far my Bird is the only one making any use of your integrity and by the looks of things, he'll be needing another change of lining to his cage! So in that endeavor, please continue to express yourself! At least your getting paid for it! Right?

I don't understand why this is on the Packers blog...or whatever you want to call it. Maybe it's on the Vikings one too...I haven't looked. Anyways, Favre says the vikings are the best team he's ever played for after he says the packers are the best team blah blah blah...it's just another thing he can't decide on. Why hang on every word he says? It's not exactly credible. I'm a Packers fan but I love the man. It's still fun to watch him prance around the football field. But if it's really a ring he's after, we'll all have to deal with him until he dies. His magic has been gone for quite some time now.

Brett Favre is amazing!
Ok Green Bay fans, stop crying already. We, the Vikings are 5-0 and you are not! If Brett feels this is the best team he has ever been on, then he is certainly entitled to that opinion. Even if that isn't how he feels, maybe he is saying that to praise or psych up the team. Ohhh, what an insult to Reggie White's memory...boo hoo hoo! What an insult to favre's legacy that Green Bay didn't have enough class to let him finish his career as a Packer. Would you like some more whine with your cheese?

Now I know Favre is old. He's lost his memory! Wow, the queens have won 5 games. Their record could easily be 3-2. Who have they played? They beat the Pack at home. Is that surprising? It's funny how the queen fans hated Favre, Sharper, Longwell... and now they are their beloved players..except Sharper because he was too old??Pricey??.... The queen fans want to believe him, sure. But let's see how it all plays out. We all want to place BF on the throne and worship him as the greatest ever, but he's had some pretty good teams around him and only won one super bowl. How many games did he lose also. We all only seem to remember the magical moments. Wait. As far as the Packers go.. they are young and still growing. Seems to me every team goes through an overhaul ever so often. As far as this team, they have had injuries on the offensive line. It can happen to any team and it takes time to recover. As far as Allen goes, he has a great motor. Let's see how his career turns out before we measure him to Reggie White Can he come up big in the big game? Didn't he have a suspension? (roids?)
We'll see. As far as the queens go...I've heard them being crowned before just to go on and dissappoint. Time will tell.

Scot, your an idiot, I don't like to use that word very often, I feel as though it is an extremely mean name to call someone, in this case I believe it is necessary. Just because he had one of the greatest defensive linemen to ever play the game on his team doesn't mean it was the greatest team, secondly, how in the F#$K is it an insult to the man Reggie White? Are you serious, this petty ass cry baby attitude the bitter Packer fans (note, not all Packer fans, just the bitter) have about letting go of a player who still wanted to play the game is childish. Stop cryin' you add a sickening glare to the greatest game on the planet. Go ahead and boo the man, but to throw dirt on him because he is not your quarter back anymore, selfish, he gave you 16 awesome flippin' years and you treat him like he was caught with your mother! get over it
