Finally a Republican Talks Back — Rep. Pompeo Shows How

Jim: I think you owe Brett Favre an apology. Unlike Aaron Rodgers, he beat the Washington Redskins this past season, clinching the game on a nifty 10 yard run. According to one of his teammates, he looked no more than 38 on that play. Aaron Rodgers, meanwhile, though he throws the most perfect pass in football, failed to defeat those same Redskins. As you note, there aren’t exactly too many top flight quarterbacks in the NFL. I’d wager that Favre, if he can still walk five years from now, could come out of retirement and still win a few games, particularly if he signs with someone in the Redskins’ division and gets to play them twice in season. One can imagine the reviled Dan Snyder suing to prevent his comeback.

The NFL needs more guys like Brett Favre-guys that really love the game and have fun playing. Elway also had alot of fun, you could see it in his face every time he strolled out onto the field.

The last thing the NFL needs is more worn-out, narcissistic drama queens like Favre.

Give Aaron a break. Say like 10 years or so before he starts being compared to Favre. "One swallow doth not a summer make." Or something like that.

Why wait ten years? We already know that Rodgers has won as many Super Bowls as Favre!

Well said, astorian; besides Rodgers is not a vainglorious, camera-hugging jerk.

We enjoyed many years of Favre, hurt for him when he grieved and made excuses for his personal problems. He'll end up in the Packer Hall of Fame as well as the Football Hall of Fame and as years pass no one will remember he didn't finish his years as a Packer. His most important years were as a Packer, as were Vince Lombardi's and until some sports writer brings it up, his years as a Jet or Viking will be forgotten except as an historical footnote.
Aaron Rodgers is a very good young man as well as being a good quarterback. I hope his fame doesn't go to his head, but I have a hunch it won't. I think his mom and dad keep him grounded.
