I'm not saying that one cannot compartmentalize. That's exactly what I do. I can appreciate what Brett did on the field while knowing that he's not the best guy. The point above was that it's not just about the recent conspiracy items (purple shirt, not much love for current organization, etc. etc.) but also all of the things that happened in the past. The conspiracy items alone aren't much, but when cumulatively added to everything that happened in the past, it does leave some doubt for many. Maybe an easier way to say it is that Favre likely shouldn't get much benefit of the doubt in these situations. At least not yet. I think he still need to show the current organization some things. The same applies for Ted Thompson, Mike McCarthy, et al. If everyone has truly moved on, make that abundantly clear so we can all forget about it entirely.

Cynical Bert dislikers like you and me probably don't view it as purely authentic, but in my opinion, he did enough of what he was supposed to, he acted the part.

You're probably right. He likely did "just enough." That would probably equate to like a C+ effort or something like that. Maybe a B. Some of us were hoping for more so that it could all be kumbaya and one big happy Packers family again. That didn't happen. I think a few simple sentences over the course of 30 seconds to one minute could have made a difference. But Favre is certainly under no obligation and as I said previously, perhaps he doesn't intend to be an integral part of the organization such as a Bart Starr or even Joe Namath with the Jets. If that's the case, than so be it. Perhaps some of us just had an expectation issue. Bart Starr has set the bar incredibly high, after all.

He had a lot going on that weekend. I think he flew in Friday night, had an afternoon press conf, addressed the fans, the banquet, flag football the next day. I get why a sentence or two could have been thought out and beneficial - but he had a ton of people to thank/acknowledge, which he did literally for hours this weekend, and we're overlooking that to fuss over why he didn't say a few additional sentences.

As you alluded to, just because LeRoy, Bart, Kramer, etc. have been so involved doesn't mean Bert is obligated to do so too. It'd appear he still holds a grudge against Ted and Mike...I'm on their side, but I get why Bert feels slighted still, whatever, so be it. He was and likely still is a self-absorbed, attention hogging, drama queen, but he kumbaya'd with most of the organization and fans so close enough as far as I'm concerned.

Time heals all wounds...hopefully it doesn't take too much time. The Packers seem to be over it and have reached out and moved on, the rest seems to be more up to Brett.

Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : It's like listen, you made 4,201 mocks, no shit.
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : Cuz during the draft "I had them mocked there!" as if it's amazing.

Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Fining them is the goal, per the people who made the rule anyway.
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still waiting on the kickoff rule changes. Did hear yesterday that the touchback proposal will now be the 30 yard line, not the 35
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Probably speed of game issues with your proposal
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
beast (25-Mar) : Simply fined in the week to follow
beast (25-Mar) : I agree with one NFL official, it'll probably be like some of the helmets hits, not really called by the refs on the field but simply fined
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Hip drop is not. Super confusing. Referees job is harder
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Swivel hip drop is banned
dfosterf (25-Mar) : The hip drop enforcement will be in the form of fines, etc. Not flags
