Ah, but there is not a person on this site that would hae turned down $22 million to go fishing on pool 4 and never work a day in their life again. (ie. the offer the Pack gave)
Of course, none of us could ever ponder being so rich that $22 million would be an insult to our EGO.
I have been a Cheesehead all my life and I sometimes hate the Vikings more than I love the Pack. But I will say Favre was the absolute correct move for the VIkes and they are the most talented team in the NFL because of that move (both sides of the ball). I feel they should win if they played on paper. He is the absolute reason that Harvin and Rice had breakout years (he has made average receivers great his whole career. He is on the best team he has ever been on (yes, even better than the ’96 and ’97 Pack). With all that said the Pack made he 100% correct move with moving on to Rodger (I personally have said it all along). He came back to play with the VIkes because they were 1 crucial piece away from being great. He would not have come back to for the Pack because their “paper” team was not nearly what the Vikes was. When he is gone and I do not wish it because he is truely a great player, the Vikes will be a huge piece away again and the Pack will be the “paper” favorites again. If I were a Vikes fan a would be “very” nervous as if they don’t win now it will be a LONG time before they get another chance (that is if #4 leaves).
Keep it going guys, great stuff.
