The Journal Times Online - Racine, Wisconsin

Posted by: CanDo Kid on May 6, 2009 3:33PM CST OUCH!

Posted by: OTS on May 6, 2009 3:35PM CST Forty is not old. Brett has the right to attemp anything he wants in his pursuit of life, liberty and happiness. He may just want to build up his investment portfolio so he play the markets when he retires. I think Brett is outsmarting most of us. Car dealerships costs a lot of money though. Ref:John Elway!!! HEEHEE!!!!!

Posted by: Hey der how bout dem Packers! on May 6, 2009 4:48PM CST Can we discuss something else? The more the media feeds this silliness, the greater the frenzy about nothing that is created. The BFF's (Brett Favre Fanatics) are always going to be passionate about their boy and the preceived "diss" he got in GB. Let's move on... How about talking about the general apathy in Racine as documented by the mediocre voter turnout? Better yet, how about discussing the apathy among the black population of Racine? It is mindboggling to me that the turnout was so low when you had a black/white contest. Any thoughts?? Or, we could discuss how or why Gery continues to post the nonsense that he does. It is laughable how a mid-sized community newspaper has such a pitiful sportswriter contributing mistake filled columns on a regular basis. Paging Susan Shemanske....Paging Susan Shemanske.......

Posted by: cmon people on May 6, 2009 6:38PM CST Hey der how bout dem packers you are one of the biggest idiots I have ever. I hate when I read an article and see you have blogged on it becuase you have nothing good ever to say about anything. Favre come back all you want and play for whoever you want. You are not through I dont understand how people are saying that considering the last two seasons you were one an MVP canidate who got his team to the NFC championship game and last year with a brutal 4-12 Jets the season before were an MVP canidate early in the season before you tore that muscle. I dont know if you people know but tearing a bicep muscle in your throwing arm is kind of a big deal for a Qb. SO to say he faltered is sort of ridiculous. Now dont get me wrong I love Favre and thinks that he can do the Vikings wonders but the only reason I dont want you to come back is b/c of these idiots in the media will rip you a new one for it. you dont deserve that, I do believe when MJ came out of retirement for the third or fourth time noone was mad at him. He was a god still. Do me a favor guys look at the system and weapons rodgers has around his and tell me how many years did Favre have weapons like that. O yea one year and he still put up amazing numbers with at best average NFL recievers(and that is a stretch b/c I dont know if a reciever really had a good career after leaving GB. I mean cmon he made Bill Schroeder an avergae NFL reciever.)

Posted by: Hey der how bout dem Packers! on May 6, 2009 7:29PM CST cmon people.... Just like you, I am entitled to an opion, Unlike you, I express my opinion in complete sentences. My opinion on this subject was that I am tired of the efforts of media to make this into something it is not. By the way, did you vote? Y'all have a nice evening.

Posted by: Left*RACINE*For*Good on May 6, 2009 10:34PM CST IF they were talking about him coming back to Green Bay, it would be all SUNSHINE AND LOLLIPOPS...Eat your hearts out! He isn't EVER coming back to GB. GO VIKES!!! Can't wait to see Brett as a Purple People Eater and I hope it is the Vikings year!!! GO PURPLE!!!

Posted by: BBennett on May 6, 2009 11:48PM CST I wish "Left*Racine*For*Good" would leave the Racine Journal Times website for good!! Why do you care enough to read about Racine when you're so joyous to have left it?! Curious. As for Brett, I used to admire him. He's just kind of sad now. I hope he doesn't get hurt. But his ego sure is out of control. Too bad - he's lost a lot of fans by the way he's conducted himself the last couple of years.

Posted by: shedbedder on May 7, 2009 6:57AM CST If Brett signs with the Viqueens, that should separate the true Packer fans from the Brett Favre fans. All of this shows me just how much he ever really cared for the fans to begin with.

Posted by: uptoyou on May 7, 2009 9:06AM CST You know hey der...I must say that your first comment is quite...how should I say this....racially charged. First off, this is a blog about football, can we say buzzkill? Maybe not all of these are about football, but this particular one, on this particular day is about football. If you want to talk about the voting turnout, or lack thereof, go comment on the page where they announced Dickert's win. Now, as for Favre...let him do what he wants, he lost my support a while ago. I guess you could say that is my general apathy that I picked up in Racine coming out...wouldn't you say so Hey der...?

Posted by: Toad on May 7, 2009 9:56AM CST Mr. Jackel: Didn't your mother ever tell you "Don't judge other people" Brett Favre has EVERY right to play the game he loves as long as he is accepted by a team. As for LEGACY. I really don't know for sure he gives a darn what YOU think it will be. The TRUE Brett Favre fans (Me included) don't care WHO he plays for. HE is MY reason to watch NFL football. If you can, NAME a current player that commands this much attention. Try to keep telling me NOBODY CARES. I HOPE for MY fall TV viewing pleasure BRETT FAVRE wears PURPLE. As for Ted Thompson. I wish them luck. Perhaps you don't remember the rebuilding the Packers did in the 70s and 80s. Packer fans are NOT ALL nice people. They ONLY accept losing teams for a short time. Management of The Green Bay Packers Organization know THOUSANDS of people are lined up for season tickets, so they figure WHO CARES?.

Posted by: lulu on May 7, 2009 10:02AM CST I have a feeling there will be a liarge mixed crowd if he goes to the viks and plays the apck at greenbay...i am a favre fan but the pack is my team and i follow them not some guy who can't make up his mind on what and whom he wants to play for. i read something from the packers website from favres agent that stated that brett was not planning on coming backl he is enjoying his family and riding his lawnmower...yup that is what was said and then i hear all this crap about going to the vikings...even his own agent can't decide on what he is doing

Posted by: Hey der how bout dem Packers! on May 7, 2009 10:43AM CST Gosh.... What a day......."cmon people" thinks I am idiot and "uptoyou" questions my observation that apathy does exisits in Racine... I am proud that people actually read my comments. "uptoyou" - the point I was trying to get across was personally, I am tired of all the BF drama. I thought the election of a new mayor would have been more important to discuss whether it was on Peter's BF blog or on a news page. I don't feel that my comments were "racially charged". Unfortunately, it seems that when one brings "color" into a discussion, there is a double standard. I view all the same - black/white, male/female, gay/straight. Just my opinion.

Posted by: concerned4 on May 7, 2009 11:00AM CST It he's healthy and wants to play let him - it's his life.

Posted by: uptoyou on May 7, 2009 11:34AM CST I don't question that apathy exists in Racine at all...obviously it does, or the city wouldn't be in the state it's in right now. And it was racially charged. First you mentioned apathy in Racine. Fine, it's there, I won't argue with that. But then you continue to say that the apathy among the black population is mind boggling, and that you were surprised at the low turnout considering, and I quote "a black/white contest." I don't understand how you think that isn't a racially charged statement. The way I am interpreting it, and please...correct me if I am wrong, is that there should have been a higher turnought for the election, simply based on their color. It was not a black and white contest, it was a mayoral election, and if the only reason someone is going to come out and vote is because of the color of the candidates, then they shouldn't be voting.

Posted by: ytykbydkaa on May 7, 2009 11:44AM CST If Brett wants revenge on Thompson (and all his GB fans) he can just stay retired and go into the Hall of Fame as a Jet.

Posted by: Hey der how bout dem Packers! on May 7, 2009 12:31PM CST The issue of "color" sadly continues to be an ill of society. Although I have spent 54 yrs discounting color, it continues to be in the forefront of how people are judged. My comments were not meant to offend. The change this country experienced in the recent Presidental election gave me hope that perhaps people of color would now feel included in the process by exerecising their right by voting for representaion. It happened on a national level. My hope was that it would continue on the local level. I base my math on the July 2007 city population of 78,805. I was disappointed that only 13.8% of the Racine population bothered to exercise their right to vote. 86.2% of the population was either too busy or too apathetic to bother to vote. I have not seen the statistics breaking down the racial make up of the vote, but one could surmise that the majority of the Racine population of "color" did not vote. I find that sad. And, that must change! Note: white is a color too! I too agree with you that voting should not be based on color, but based on the qualifications of each candidate. Bottomline - the 86.2% of the population of Racine should be ashamed of themselves for not voting this week!

Posted by: uptoyou on May 7, 2009 1:12PM CST You have not seen the statistics, so you don't know. Your assumption could be very wrong. I think we should leave it at your bottomline, that 86.2% of the population did not vote. It does not matter one way or the other if they were black, white, bue, pink, or purple. They did not vote. We should learn to just leave color out of it. Period.

Posted by: Hey der how bout dem Packers! on May 7, 2009 1:28PM CST Good point. I agree. Enough said.

Posted by: DCResident on May 7, 2009 2:31PM CST I am looking forward to BF wearing a purple uniform proving he is all for himself. Fact: W/O Wolf/Hollgram he would have been washed up by 1996. Fact: W/O R. White and rest of defence there woul dnot have been a Super Bowl 31 Ring. FACT Also lets not forget it was a Special Teams Returner who one Game MVP that day. Prediction, if he plays for VIKES it will be 10-15 years before his # 4 is retired. Prediction, after he plays for Vikes, #4 will be worn in preseason by a punter or some 5th round draft choice.

Posted by: uptoyou on May 7, 2009 2:57PM CST But DCResident...haven't you heard that Brett can do no wrong, and I don't know where you did your research, but he won that SB 31 ring all by himself...the rest of the team didn't even need to be on the field...and he will tell you alllllll about it. I'm joking by the way...I am totally with you.

Posted by: 62Michael on May 7, 2009 8:22PM CST I may be totally wrong, but what makes everyone think Brett will come back to play? And don't call me an idiot for not seeing the evidence. Childress could be just visiting looking for any info he might get on the Packers. He may be asking Brett to be a coach on his team. He may be discussing signal calling. He might suddenly have an interest in golfing with Farve, or riding Tractors around the Farve front yard. Not one person in the league can make a team better week after week in the NFL. It is a team effort. Stragedy, luck, skill and a myriad of other factors go into winning a game. If the offensive line of any team are a bunch of pansie @sses, you can have the best Quarterback who ever walked, talked or drew a breath on your team. He's going to be looking at turf or the sky on nearly every play. So fawners, give it a rest. Haters, give it a break. And Journal Times, create a new Wisconsin Sports Hero. Let Brett, (and the rest of the Packers who were there, Reggie RIP) live in good memories. Stop trying to create a story where the outcome, (no matter what it is), in the end, means nothing.

Posted by: e122884 on May 7, 2009 9:35PM CST TT is probably hoping farve will play again. it will take some of the media away from his GREEN BAY PACKERS !!!! SIX AND TEN.

Posted by: brewpackman on May 9, 2009 4:43PM CST The funny thing some of you people argue is that Brett Favre made average recievers look great year in and year out. It was said that we would see this when he left...then he left and Aaron Rodgers threw for 4,000 yards and now you say he had great recievers....get a clue and stop playing both sides of the fence.
