He may get invited to a far-er off Super Bowl should he make his peace with the organization.
If the Packers make it this year, there is absolutely no way he gets invited. It's Aaron's time, and the other players on the roster. And you better believe TT and MM will want them to get their moment in the sun.

Here's the 2 cent question:
If the Packers make it to the Super Bowl, do the Packers invite TOG to attend along with the other legendary greats? ie., Bart Starr, LeRoy Butler, Henderson, Davis, Wood, Taylor, Dickey, Hornung, etc.
My guess is they would invite him. Would TOG attend?
I certainly wouldn't invite the guy. Why would they invite a guy who's been pining for their demise for the past three years?
Last thing we heard from this azzhole was him wishing Julius Peppers luck in beating the Packers. Who do you think he's rooting for on Sunday?
Hey, I have utter disdain for the guy anymore. It will be a warm in January up at Lambeau Field before I may even consider the possibility of forgiving TOG.
It does present a "touchy" situation/predicament that the Packer may find themselves dealing with in a week or so.

I'd be concerned that right before the game, he lean over into an opposing player's ear and say something like, "Good luck, now go out and beat the Packers!"

Why? The folks at 1265 Lombardi are under no obligation to invite him.
There is absolutely no chance that the Packers give so much as a thought to inviting him.
Had Brett not played this season....maybe a touchy situation. But Brett did play....for an opposing divisional team.
Guarantee that if someone brought this up in the Lombardi Avenue offices that TT would laugh his a$$ off -- and then fire the person who dared bring it up. And then I would [heart] him even more than I do now!

No - None of the above turned out to be traitors.
I also think they should wait till 2051 before retiring his number.
What an insult that would be to AR to see the "text master" on the field and Bert would no-doubt go up to one of the Jets to encourage them
That gift sack to Strahan years ago said a lot about Bert's integrity.
quote:If the Packers make it this year, there is absolutely no way he gets invited. It's Aaron's time
Exactly. Were the Packers to get that far and then invite bert to be a part of things it would be really crapping all over AR, as well as those players who immediately got onboard with AR.
Now if they invited Starr and he was not able to make it, I think it would be funny as hell to invite berts backups from the win over the Pats---Burnell and McMahon I believe.
McMahon would probably show up in his B***s jersey. 
TJ Rubley would get invited before Brent. Not even worth considering, as it's not going to happen.

quote:Another topic was broached. It was three years ago that Thompson presided over Brett Favre's departure from Green Bay. Here, the current Packers were preparing to play a playoff game, two wins away from the Super Bowl. Favre seems certain to retire ... for good. The divorce seems complete, or as complete as it can ever be. Looking back, Thompson was asked, how does it feel to have prospered while healing the wounds cleaved open in Green Bay by jettisoning a legend?
There was a pause on the line. "I try to steer clear of talking about that,'' says Thompson. "Feelings are still pretty raw around here. It was a very difficult time for all parties involved.'' Another pause, and then Thompson added a caveat with the name of the player he drafted to replace Favre: "We're very happy to have Aaron Rodgers playing quarterback for us right now.''
If the Packers and Jets make it to Super Bowl XLV I could see the NFL having TOG do the coin flp. Really! Think about it.

I think that's the defacto reason right there. No matter the history, you don't invite some one from another team to attend your SB (if they get there). Even if they were on BFF terms, you don't do that.
Mmmm...unless that's partly why he filed papers this week; to force the Packers to make a decision about that. Blech.

Sure, a blackberry sending a text msg in one hand and a coin in the other.
You been ice fishing too long....
Bert is not a way to honor anything right now.
Do teams really "invite" old players to the Super Bowl?
I do not think the NFL and the Packers/Vikings want Farve around right now. He made a too much of a nasty character off himself the last two years. TOG also seems to be laying low or perhaps trying to save his marriage.
But I would love to see him try to come back one more time, that would be a circus.
If Farve wants to be a former Packer in good standing again he is going to have to do one huge mayacopa. But then again he did do the Pzck a huge favour, he left the Queens in a mess.

Sorry but Favre sinking the Vikings when the Super Bowl was in hand answers all the questions on this situation.
Just heard on NFLN, by email today, TOG says Packers/Aaron Rodgers are the best team/QB in the playoffs
Perhaps this is Brett's idea of gamesmanship? Hard to take a word he says at face value at this point.

Yeah, was just about to post that Hauser. Also, happy birthday to ROTTT with TOG's retirement papers.

Sure you don't.
From the ESPN article cited just above:
Hmmm. Ask Julius Peppers about who Favre is rooting for.
More seriously, is anyone surprised this is coming? The only move for Brent now that he's retired (sorry, Boris, but I think he's done!) is to get back into the Packers' and Packer Nation's good graces. Will be a meal ticket forever for him, ya know? I'm just surprised he's doing it so quickly. Maybe Brandi's legal bills are higher than one would assume.

...Still, Favre thinks this is the year for Green Bay to win its first Super Bowl since Favre and the Packers beat the New England Patriots in 1997 in Super Bowl XXXI.
"I think they will win it all! I hope they do, if you are wondering," Favre said in the e-mail.

Brent trying to patch things up with the fans. Nobody is buying a thing he is saying. What was it he said to Julius Peppers after their last game vs eachother? Oh yeah, it was this...

It might be that he's just DYING to say something that isn't unbelievably stupid for a change.
And that's exactly how you know he didn't write any of it
Oh well, maybe we should be worrying about beating the Bears first.
Great idea, how about you lead the charge, start a thread or two
" Not enough worrying about the Bears !
"No posting in non-worry threads until after the game"

Old story with a new twist.
Brett Favre died, after living a full life. When he got to heaven, God was showing him around. They came to a modest little house with a faded Vikings flag in the window.
'This house is yours for eternity, Brett,' said God. 'This is very special; not everyone gets a house up here.'
Brett felt special, indeed, and walked up to his house. On his way up the porch, he noticed another house just around the corner. It was a 3-story mansion with a green and gold sidewalk, a 50 foot tall flagpole with an enormous Packers flag, and in every window, a G logo.
Brett looked at God and said, 'God, I'm not trying to be ungrateful, but I have a question. I was the league's all-time leader in touchdowns...I was a Hall of Famer.'
God said, 'So what do you want to know, Brett?'
'Well, why does Aaron Rodgers get a better house than me?'
God chuckled and said, 'Brett, that's not Aaron Rodgerâs house. It's mine.'

You know--I reread my post a few times, and something felt very wrong with it, and I couldn't figure it out. Thanks for clearing it up.
Anybody else notice this little bit of quality reporting by Ed Werder in the article:
"The 41-year-old Mississippi native originally retired in 2008 after the Packers decided to go with Rodgers as their starting quarterback.
However, Favre decided he wanted to return later in the year and was eventually traded to the Jets."
Uh, Ed, I know it's not part of ESPN's storyline, but the Packers went with Rodgers as their starting QB AFTER Favre retired, and they would have gladly taken him back in the spring, not in the middle of training camp that year. That's why they traded him.
