What Aaron and Brett were talking about, in my imagination

 
Transcript to this conversation;
ARod: Brett, I'm so sorry Ted Thompson is such a jerk.  It's been a  year since I've seen you in person... what do you think? Am I a real Field General now?

Brett:  Nice try kid, but you ran my 13-3 Championship caliber team off the playoff road and into a 6-10 wreck last year.  No Aaron, you're not a real Field General yet, but you just saw one beat your ass.




 

Arod: "Brett, you beat us twice but I almost led two comebacks when your defense went out for brats and I have a stack of statistics!  Am I a real Field General now?




 

Brett; "No kid, you're still not a real Field General, but you can buy one of my jerseys in the Lambeau Pro shop and wear it to bed tonight....
and Hey Kid...  About those statistics... you know while you were sitting on your big pile of stats last year during the playoffs and Superbowl?...  Big Ben had 15 Td's and 11 Ints and won the Superbowl.  Keep that in mind kid.
Also kid..when they fill you full of all that "he said he was going to retire thing "... remind them that Don Hutson and Forrest Gregg, two of the greatest Packers ever, retired and unretired 7 or 8 times between them, all while playing for the Packers.  Remind those chuckleheads that Darren Sharper and Ryan Longwell both left the Packers for the Vikings.  Remind them that Donald Driver had a try out for the Vikings during his restricted free agency with Green Bay.

AROD: "Hey Brett, you got any tips for me?"

Brett: "Yeah Kid, stop holding the ball so long, learn to read defenses and blitzes..feel the pressure, and stop playing against the Vikings."

Arod: "But Brett, what about all those Interceptions you threw over your career?  I'm scared to get rid of the ball because I might throw an interception and Teddy and Mikey will be so mad at me.

Brett: "Ah kid, after 14 sacks I thought you'd realize that's been blown all out of proportion.  My interception ratio is 3.3%, thats lower than Terry Bradshaw.  How many Superbowls did he win kid?  Damn Aaron, I can't loan you my testicular fortitude, you can't be scared to throw a few picks. Live wild, don't be a bitch.

Think about Babe Ruth kid... Everyone loves Babe... He was the home run king but he also led in strikeouts.  He played for the Red Sox and then played for their arch rival, the Yankees.  They loved Babe kid, they even named a candy bar after him.  You're 10-13 and they named a street after you for 2 days.  Don't worry about picks and stats Kid, just stay off your back and win.
I know you're feeling all beat up and tough, but I played through a broken collar bone courtesy of Reggie White, I played with broken fingers, broken toes, feet, ankles, once I played in a body cast blindfolded and we still beat the Bears.  I played through addictions, deaths, cancer and Ray Rhodes. You just need to loosen up a little kid. Shee-it, I used to smoke cigarettes and throw up in the huddle because I was so drunk. Bobby Layne taught me that one.  You should have paid more attention while you were holding my clipboard, you could've learned something from me.
