Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers Have Not Spoken In A Year

You would expect that Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers, despite all the silly things that happened between Favre and the Green Bay Packers administration, might still be friends. After all, Favre was, for better or worse, Rodgers’ “NFL father figure” and served as a mentor to the Cal grad for three years.

But if you assumed that, you would be quite wrong. Rodgers spoke with Michael Irvin on air recently, and if his comments are true, then he and Favre haven’t spoken in a year.

MI: Wait, wai, wai, wait. When you were playing together, how much speaking did he do with you.

AR: I mean, it was me and him. The last year, ’07, we had no other quarterback on the roster, it was me and him, you know, we’d see each other every day, jog around with each other every day, you know he knew how I felt about him, that I had the utmost amount of respect for him, you know…and to not have talked to him in over a year? That’s disappointing.

Wow. I mean, you would suppose that Favre wouldn’t be that childish, right? And, yeah, I suppose there’s a decent excuse for the guy if he was really trying to forget Green Bay and just simply move on. But then how do you account for No. 4 constantly going to the media about his problems with the Packers and then allegedly handing the Detroit Lions the Green Bay playbook?

It’s pretty obvious to anyone with a brain that Favre still cares about Green Bay; that’s his right considering how long he played there. But to simply ignore Rodgers — a friend and former colleague — for over a year, well, that’s just downright childish. And embarrassing.

As a Packers fan, this hurts... A lot... I grew up Idolizing Favre, and everything that has gone on over the past year has hurt to see. C'mon Brett, this is bigger than football. http://beersbratsandbtb.blogspot.com/2009/01/ro...

He needs to show He can throw hard and accurate in a pressure eviromwnt, do not blame packers they may be not good enough, but fact: Jhon Elway won many many games coming from behind as well as Favre. Do Aaron can? then He must prove it and win something.

What's embarasssing is Rodgers running down to Tampa after finishing 6-10 and looking for shoulders to cry on. Own up to the fact the Packers would have been better had Favre stayed in Green Bay and stay out of the press till you've won something on your own.

To: Facts

Aaron Rodgers was the 6th best QB in the league statswise this season.
Brett was far away from that.

Packers went 6-10 because of the crappy run defense.
Aaron play QB and not DT or LB if you havent noticed, so he has nothing to do with it.

It is embarrassing. That is mild. Sports is a great leveler. We enjoy games because we want to reduce the tension and problems. Two players playing in identical position, helping each other for the team cause and not talking to each other is odd. I dont think this is one behavior we could forgive. The team management must intervene and take some kind of action..

This is the power of a video going viral. A young girl that a month ago was known hardly anywhere outside of her school now has fans around the world cheering for her. Although some may call this luck, this has to make any marketer or brand manger sit up and take notice. What if this was your brand’s video, what if your brand sponsored Julia, what if she was wearing a shirt with your logo?
