Dr._Bob posted:I was finally able to stomach reading the Gunslinger article. I think it puts many things that have happened since then into clearer focus. There was a division in the locker room between Favre's guys and Rodgers' guys (I think we knew that but I didn't realize how deep that rift was). I believe that rift became amplified when MM came in, who was clearly not a Favre guy like Sherman had been. Then, when the retirement showdown occurred, MM and TT side with Rodgers. Not only did Favre continue to carry that deep resentment with him as he changed teams, but Favre's guys who were still with the Packers carried it too. Now, the mindset of players like Jennings and Driver makes a lot more sense (as well as some fawning fans of Favre who continue to have trouble accepting TT, MM, and Rodgers), while the younger players supported Rodgers and were able to move forward. Favre's anger and childish behavior all stemmed from that moment when TT dared to draft Rodgers. This is why countries going though a regime change execute members of the previous regime. Because otherwise they go to the Vikings.
Thank you for this.......says it all, perfectly.
