I can't wait till the first game of the season when his jersey is retired. Although, count me among the number who believe that there is no love lost between BF and TT. Between he and McCarthy, not so much, I think. For the record, even though TT has assembled a good young team, I'm not sold on him. He runs the Packers salary cap like he's paying players and FA's like it's coming out of his own personal checking account.

You still smell of vinegar. You clearly don't like the Packers, and that's fine. You say Favre sucks...his worst season is better than any season your beloved Bears have ever had from a QB so go rinse off the vinegar (pgetlease, don't make me say it) and get on with your life....ba ha ha...Kyle Orton and Rex Gross, man...that's rich. Hell even Blair Kiel and Anthony Dilweg were better than those losers. 40for60….hit the showers loser. You still smell of vinegar. You clearly don’t like the Packers, and that’s fine.

The Chicago Bears are the LA Clippers of Football. You're a pathetic team that lacks any kind of talent or heart. Even the Kasas City Chiefs laugh at you guys. I remember when you guys were good, back when I first got Tecmo Bowl. Hey I hate both teams, Green Bay and Chicago but for the Bears-Troll who said GB & Favre suck, you need your head examined.

As it stands now, if Favre came back tomorrow for the Packers, Cook wouldn't get a penny. He only gets paid if Bret signs a new contract...which would of course happen if he got traded to another team. It's in Cooks best interest to try to generate a market for Bret to return and redo his deal.

Makes a lot of sense for both teams -- I'm guessing Favre would be an upgrade over future hall of famer John Beck. It certainly appears as if Ted Thompson has moved on, thus I can pretty much guarantee he would play for someone other than the Packers if he does come back.

The comment section never seem to be complete without some retarded post from you. The same Favre that sucks is the same one that beat your team what, 14 times in a row? You've had 19 starting QB's since he took over and guess what, none of them will even catch a wiff of the HOF unless it's as a visitor let alone first ballot HOF'er. Don't even go there with Rex bringing the Bears to the Super Bowl. He was the lowest rated Super Bowl QB of all time and it was the defense overcompensating for his crappy play that brought him there. Of course you have to actually have a real QB to win a Super Bowl which is a big reason why they got smoked. That same cheapy Ted has built the deepest roster they've had in years. How could you possibly think that if Favre came back they would suck when they have the same roster that took them to 1 quarter away from the Super Bowl? You have the IQ of a peanut. A very small one I might add. Why don't we take a look at the Bears. You have 3 third string QB's vying for a starting position and they didn't even entertain signing another veteran. Let their overrated B. Berrian go via free agency, but he was the best receiver on the team. I don't even need to bring up Cedrick Benson or Tommie Harris. Yeah, Ted's a moron. All he does is scoop up starting running backs with 6th draft pick trades. Tell me you wouldn't kill to have Ryan Grant on your team? They have the deepest and most talented receiving core in the league, a good defense and a well respected coach within the locker room. Hell, you'd probably kill to have the Packers #4 receiver as your #1 starter at the position. Then there is Urlacher and his messed up back and griping about a contract. Enjoy the next season while you watch the Bears plummet to the bottom of the division behind even the lowly Lions. I dare you to even try to give me one reason that the Bears should feel good about going into this season or how they will even be remotely as good as the Packers team who Ted "drove into the ground".

Packers went from 4-12 to 8-8 to 13-3 under Thompson. "Cheapie" Ted helped assemble a team that got to the NFC championship game last year, has as good of a transition as you could ask for at the QB position, and hired one of the best young coaches in the league. Where are the Bears at? Hmmm, you have three guys who could play QB (What's the phrase, when you have 3 qbs competing, you have no QBs?), your first round RB pick from a couple of years ago is cut, Urlacher isn't happy, your no. 1 WR threat is Devon Hester. Lot to look forward to there. About Cook - is this really surprising? Two of his biggest meal tickets (Favre, McNair) retired, leaving him about 400-500k in lesser income this year than last. To my knowledge, he doesn't have a ton of clients, so I'm sure he's feeling the burn right now. Doesn't mean Favre actually wants to come back and it doesn't mean the Packers will take him back or trade him for anything less than a couple of 1st rounders. 40for60 - Bears are awful.

The media (this site included) is guilty of continuing to throw logs on the fire. Every move that guy makes (or doesn't make, in some cases...golf anyone?) is criticized. Just because Favre isn't jumping into some other job immediately doesn't mean he is coming back...it just means he's probably enjoying himself. I don't know how involved the retirement papers are, but I would imagine that for some stupid documents for which there is no time-line for completion, you'd put it off as long as you could because...why not?

And for the "Favre Sucks" posters, get a life and move out of Mommy's basement. The guy is a HOF and one of the best to ever play the game...same with Jerry Rice, Montana, etc. They are icons of the league. Favre is cemented as a celebrity and legend in this game. The best thing for him financially, long-term, is to stay retired. I think he still had a year or two left, but it's better to walk away a year too early than to limp away a year too late.

Yeah, they may have gotten the best of him the past couple of years, but no the first 15. But then I guess I would be bitter too if I had 30 different QBs in the past 5 years and still have to watch Grossman. Maybe that is why Favre retired... it just wasn't fun flushing the toilets in Wisconsin so that Illinois could get some fresh water. I response to the above comments from a Bares fan:
