Finished with Favre

Ok, so the word on the street is that you can start shopping for your Brett Favre jerseys in Tampa Bay. I think this is a good fit, but I'm not sure that Tampa is Superbowl bound (and it would be a home game) this year with Favre at the helm. With that said, I'm done with all of this Favre stuff. I will say this though, the Packers organization is terrible. When you have to bring in Ari Fleischer to help you manage this type of situation, it shows a lack of leadership.

Mike McCarthy is an idiot, yes that's a harsh word, but for him to get in front of the cameras and say that Brett wasn't on board with following the path that the Packers wanted to go down (or something to that effect), so he's basically washing his hands of it. No Brett isn't on board with the stupidity that the organization wanted. We all know that he was told that if he wants to play for the Packers he'll go out and hold a clip board and be happy about it. Just not Brett. All of this comes down to one question: Which QB gives you the best chance to win a Superbowl this year? Obviously the Packers chose Rodgers. I guess we'll all see by week 10 when the Packers are out of it already if the right decision was made. Favre had his own hand in some of this lunacy, but at the end of the day it came down to him having his feelings hurt by the organization he's grown up in and loved for years. It happens, sucks, but it happens. Move on, you'll be better for it.

So now, Raymond James Stadium is the place where Favre will make his comeback. They have a decent team with a decent run game and they always field a good 'D'. I think that week 4 game between the Bucs and the Packers is going to be excited. I imagine by that time, Rodgers will have made enough mistakes to have the whole Green Bay Packers fan base rooting against him.
