ditto that. I think the back story is that favre turned into poison a long time ago, creating an extremely bad team environment.

favre thought he was running the team, not the front office or coaches.

glad he’s gone. let NY retire #4.

from cheeseland.

I wondered if the Packers knew what they were doing when they let Favre go.

With Aaron Rodger's quarterback rating going through the roof, I can see that they did.

I love the way Aaron has ingrained himself into the Packer mystique. He's a team player and it shows.

I have a very close relative that works for the Packers, and I have been hearing for years about Favre's lack of team feelings.

Since my relative has worked there Favre has never, ever showed up at a team fun function. He never talked, on a casual basis with any of the team, he had his own isolated locker room, and he had refused to be a mentor for Aaron Rogers. If you asked him a football question, he would walk right past you, but on the other hand, some of the staff are big hunters, and if Brett walked in on a conversation about that, he would sit and talk for hours.

To give Brett his due though, he found himself isolated by age, and culture from all of the younger players. All his team mates from the glory years had gone, and he just didn't have anything in common with the new guys.

But, to tell the truth, every time the media talked about what a team leader he was, my family just kind of chuckled, because nothing could be further from the truth.
