Do you really think Manning will leave the Colts one day and go to the Ravens at the end of his career and stick it to the Colts? You can keep trying to say it's a business in all of your post for all I care, but it won't change my mind one bit. Please tell us, endure us with something new besides reaching for Bruce to the 49ers and your business angle.

You're kidding me right? When Sharper when to the Vikes, I knew our defense just got alot worse and the Vikes defense got alot better. Geez, I was right too!! Well, up until the past few years.

And see the comments after your post.

Yeah, Collins wasn't a good younger replacement for Sharper.

Road I was hurt when Moss went, not because he left, but because we traded him, but if he went to Greenbay I would have no problem with him doing that because the Vikings traded him. Just like the Packers traded Brett. I am not trying to get you to change what you feel and believe. I am just sharing why it is not a big deal to me. I am not debating with you about Brett. You have every right to be mad and hurt that is a Vikings, but me I don't feel that way. Because I know it is a business first. That is why I realize players will come and go. My brother said Free Agency will hurt fans more and I think he was right. Player like Brett, Manning and some others are the very few that played for one team for so long.

I'm sure you are aware that I had no issues when the Packers traded Favre to the Jets. He was becoming a cancer and it was Rodgers time. I think you know the issue is when Brett finagled a comeback with the Vikings.

I could name a ton of players who have been loyal to their teams, but in a few cases, like Favre, loyalty isn't a two way street anymore.

Do me a favor and enjoy the offseason drama. It will take you for a roller coaster ride.

Thank you. I hope he comes back.

I hope he comes back, but the beating he took Vs the Saints was enough to make him retire if you ask me. Last NFC Championships have screwed Favre in O.T. (2007 and 2009)
