Passions Run High ... Respect Runs Low
Dear Fellow Fans,
Since we broke the news that Brett Favre is likely to be traded to Tampa Bay discussion and comments on our site have surged as angry and sad fans have passionately expressed their opinions. This is a necessary and important part of advocating for Brett and grieving un-welcomed news.
But while passions have run high respect for fellow fans seems to be running at an all-time low. Regardless of our opinions about Brett Favre or the current management/board we must all remember that we are Green Bay Packer fans first and foremost. Despite short term disagreement this bond unites us over the long term.
On multiple occasions we have experimented with moderating comments for short periods of time in an attempt to keep the dialogue respectful. However, due to the sheer volume of comments this has proven to be impossible. As a result we have decided to express our concerns publicly about the tone of discussion and ask that fans police the site on our behalf.
Although we will end all attempts to moderate discussion we will keep a close eye on the character of these discussions. If the tone does not improve we will be forced to close comments and discussion on the site completely.
While we can not control the actions of Packer management or Brett himself we can control how we treat one another.
GO PACK GO!

espn reporting that favre is going to the Jets, the trade is official
You in fact broke the news that Favre WAS (not was LIKELY) traded to Tampa Bay - which was not true. Start watching yourself as well.
brett going to green bay was a ruse on his part. i saw him say live that it was a formality and that he knew he wouldn't be long in green bay. again, brett left green bay of his own accord after turning down the chance to play there.
