Yes Rodgers is good but really he is not even close to what brett is come on please now he made one mistake in that last game and the corner was sitting on that rout so he would of got it anyways brett should be pissed about the packers not bringing him back 756628@blogcritics.org Tue, 14 Oct 2008 16:23:29 EDT /archives/2008/07/18/075924.php#comment-734032 Later in life Matisse had his paint brush strapped to his crippled arthritic hand to paint.And still later he cut out colored paper shapes he made into collages, staying engaged in his art and life until the end. His work of this period has a child-like purity, clarity and joy--the poetic justice of an unruly heart. A true artist will always find expression--there is no when to say when. Athletes aren't so lucky but can still re-invent themselves if the will is there--and certainly Brett has the means and time to do so. I know I'm talking apples and oranges--but who isn't challenged? Your logic and pragmatism are not lost on me. My point is that real life is made up of more than just the bottom line. Whether you're on top of the skyscraper corporate pile being accountable or independently plucking daisies at the bottom of the heap wearing rose-colored glasses--at the end of the day--be it late into the night--everyone needs a soft place to fall. And there is more comfort to be had in a bed of rose petals than wrapped in a blanket of cynicism. Be it big business or big ideas, would'nt you agree we are all in service to something? And isn't sacrifice a common denominator in everyone's lives? Giving up is for when you're dead. 734032@blogcritics.org Sun, 20 Jul 2008 05:23:54 EDT /archives/2008/07/18/075924.php#comment-733757 Favre has shown himself to be nothing but selfish in this embarrassing saga. He retired; the Packers moved on. He has no right to be offended that they're not embracing his change of heart with open arms. The Packers can't afford to live in the past, and it's Favre's outspoken whining that will tarnish his legacy with the team, not the Packers' decision to move ahead with Rodgers. 733757@blogcritics.org Fri, 18 Jul 2008 14:19:09 EDT
