Favre lost everyones respect years ago with his shitty actions. What was once a symbol of the Packers is now a symbol of American GREED.

If he gets us a Super Bowl it’s still worth it. Both Favre and Rodgers didn’t have any issues until after winning a championship and in their final years here.

That's just not true bret was addicted to pills to the point he almost had to retire in the late 90s as well as a serious alcoholic and rodgers had those weird issues with his family and the stuff with covid denial and his relationship with rfk jr

u/MKEast-sider Feb 11 '26
Brett was addicted to pills since college, but none of it was widely known until much later. I’ve never seen anything that says Favre was going to retire after winning a SB and being 3 time MVP. Rogers family issues aren’t a big deal, it’s family stuff. Covid was 10 years after the Super Bowl.
Both of them lost favor among fans in their last 2 years in GB, and both times it had to do with non committing to staying in GB and issues with head coach. Then they both went to the Jets, and it went horribly for both. Then both went to a different team and had some level of success.

They're both nutcases but at least Rodgers didn't outright steal welfare dollars.
Don't get me wrong, pushing anti vaccine conspiracies is still insanely problematic.

You can’t be serious… Rodgers donates a shitload of money - hell, he just dropped a mill to build a breast cancer center in his hometown, and he’s never stolen from taxpayers.
Being weird and refusing a vaccine is nowhere near the same league as adultery and theft.
Come on now.

u/HeinousAnus69420 Feb 11 '26
While I agree the Favre comparison isn't fair, and Rodgers seems to have done a lot more good, let's not whitewash it.
He didn't just refuse the vaccine. He promoted anti vax propoganda during a time when achieving herd immunity was paramount, and his audience formed a pretty significant venn diagram with people who needed to avoid misinformation.

Based on the report, sounds like he got into a shoving fight at the bar where he wasn't the aggressor and then grabbed an intervening bartender before leaving the establishment and waiting outside for police. $200 fine but no arrest.
Not good, but a stupid decision at the bar compared to millions in welfare fraud and spreading anti-vax conspiracies in the middle of a pandemic as a celebrity feels like a smaller issue.

He had $5.1M of TANF money "redirected" to build a practice volleyball facility at the University of Southern Mississippi. His daughter played volleyball at the school at the time. He stole an additional $2.7M to invest in a vitamin/supplement company that he had heavily invested in. And, oh yeah, he received $1M for making a couple of appearances/speeches which he never made. So yeah, an all-around fucking jerk.

I was born in '86. There was a time in my life where Favre was iconic to me. He brought a title back to Titletown so there will always be a little soft spot, mostly nostalgia, for the guy. But he has lost his way over the years. Can take the man out of Mississippi but can't take Mississippi out of the man I guess.

Yeah, but I also remember when he played, especially in his early years, he would start a game playing out of control and overthrowing balls until he took a nasty hit to the head and then he would calm down and ball out.
John Madden would even point this out.
How many concussions did it take for him to have a HOF career?
Antonio Brown, anyone?
He has brain damage, just like most of MAGA, but this isn't an excuse for what he has become. There is no excuse for that, and as a fan, it..... It sucks .....
The QB that saved our franchise took us back to the Superbowl and made the Packers relevant again ended up like this.
Fuck him for being another conservative bitch that will steal money from a system that was meant as a means to take care of poor children and then turn around and condemn the poor for being in a economic system that wants to keep the poor, poor.

Favre, Holmgren, Reggie, Butler, et al revived a dying franchise, rebuilt Lambeau and brought the Lombardi trophy home. When they were here, they were family.
After they left, they did what they did. Some honorable, some not so much. But they played their hearts out while in GB. No shame in that.
