3 weeks ago = 8/7 which is one day after the trade. i would say his facts are pretty good... "

" Stubby you answered your own question, i'll break it down with algebra:
you wrote:
"MY OPINION - which to me means PERSONAL"
which would mean opinion = personal
you first wrote:
"Just my personal opinion"
since we know that opinion = personal from the other statement we can conclude that what you were saying here is "Just my personal personal" or "Just my opinion opinion" so what he is saying is that since Opinion = personal you don't have to say "personal opinion"
As for the sign now, I find it humorous and is in a way a marketing tool for that church. Who knows maybe someone out there who didn't attend church because they thought Christians were uptight saw this and decided to try it out because they seem more approachable, and he got saved...And isn't that the point of a church? "

" Based on some of the creatures that inhabit this planet, I think God has a pretty good sense of humor. Nothing-- not even religion-- should be taken too seriously, after all. I think it's a great way to poke fun at Brett, his awesome career, and the fans who put him on a pedestal (including me!), while speaking of God's faith in us. Anyway, it makes several interesting points... I like this sign! "

If he wants to have fun with it during a service, that's one thing, but to display it on the church's sign...................that's all I have to say about it. As far as Brett being traded, I still support my packers, I just don't support TT or his choices. "

" packerbacker, just how do you know what was or is in the mind of Ted Thompson? Do you have any evidence to back up your claims? NO, you do not. All you have is irrational babbling and resentment. No one - I repeat, NO ONE - forced Favre into retirement. He retired of his own free will. The Packers even welcomed him back when he reconsidered, but then he flip-flopped AGAIN. How is that Thompson's fault? "
packerbacker wrote on Aug 28, 2008 10:01 AM:
" For the moment Ted Thompson became GM, he wanted Brett OUT! Brett was forced into premature retirement and Brett quickly changed his mind~ just like Don Hutson, Forrest Gregg,Reggie White, Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson and countless other sports stars! They were all welcomed back because their former teams KNEW the marketing potential and skill levels along with locker room motivation. TT WAS TOO BLIND TO SEE and now the team and their fans will SUFFER and the Jets got a $100,000,000 WINDFALL FOR A 4th round draft pick! I wish God would trade TT and BRING BRETT BACK! "

" stubby, you're right about one thing - Brett Favre did not leave the Packers for the Jets. That much is true. However, he left because he RETIRED. He booted himself out. He said that he didn't want the ball anymore. He was given more than one chance to unretire, and he refused every time. The Packer train then moved on - and rightfully so. No coach or general manager in his right mind would keep his team in limbo because one player can't make up his mind on playing. "

" Correction, conscience. Brett Favre retired. He said he wasn't sure if he wanted to play anymore. Then he kept changing his mind about retirement over and over again. He was NOT fully committed to playing football. That is the only reason why the Packers moved on. It was the Packers' duty to move on. Why should any team have "faith" in a guy who keeps changing his mind about playing? "
