Think about it. It really only says something about the person wearing it, what their attitude is. Nothing about the subject of the shirt (what control does Brett Favre have over the memory banks of the tshirt wearing public?)

If Brett Favre — who was the only constant on the teams that compiled the best winning percentage in the NFL in the sixteen years he played there — is “disposable” to the memories of a Packer fan that wears that shirt, then really every player is. Including current favorites Aaron Rodgers, Charles Woodson, Donald Driver, and Clay Matthews. A fan that wears that shirt is pretty much saying they can and will throw any player under the bus once it is convenient to them.

I was surprised, in contrast, by the maturity I saw with a lot of people here over the randy Moss fiasco this year. Moss arguably inflicted more carnage — and more unnecessary carnage — on the Vikings in three weeks than Favre inflicted on the Packers in three years (Favre at least was under the payroll of another team at the time lol). But there were no “We’ll Never Forget You Andy” tshirts (to my knowledge). Just about everyone here was able to simultaneously be disappointed with what he did this year, but still hold fond memories of what he did as part of past Vikings teams.

The further removed I get from “the Packer Favre fiasco,” the more it comes into focus for me that I am really not as disappointed and disgusted by how the Packers organization handled things, than I am about how so much of their fanbase has responded.
