Agreed Candy, the comment that he didn't think that "the fans and management did enough to keep him" really set my nerves on edge. I watched he conference and I was saddened by it even though I'm not a football fan... It was like a death. The cat and mouse game that he played for the past several years about whether or not he was retiring was very disrepectful to the fans (imo).

The fans here give him a god-like status. We pay higher taxes in Brown county to support the stadium. To the Packer fans he (or did) brought back the loyalty to the sport.

My frustration is that they're giving him the very attention that he craves. And I don't think he deserves it.

I've been in Detroit during a Lions game, in the twin cities during a Viking game, and Chicago during a Bears game, none of them have the same mentality as Green Bay. Even in a losing season, the city is a different place. It's not something I can describe really. For a big game, industry closes. They don't care if they get Father's Day off, but don't even attempt to run if the Packers are in the Play-offs or Superbowl.

My brother lives in California and he goes to watch them when they play the 49's. Fans that cannot get home tickets travel, they fill up the stadium at the away games (the hotels and away stadiums run out of Miller lite within hours.)
