I was too lazy to immediately turn off WTMJ after the Packers O.T. I was treated to the remark by James T. Harris that he hopes the Packers end Favre's streak. This would mean injuring him badly enough for him to miss the next game.
To be fair, Harris also said he enjoyed watching Favre lead the Vikings' final drive today. Harris seems like an affable guy, but while injuries are part of football it's never been very classy to hope for them. Wouldn't be just enough to win?
Given his poor protection and willingness to take hits, Aaron Rodgers seems like the more likely to leave a game with injury this year. As a German colleague once told me, "don't call the devil".
In my entire career as a Packer fan, I think I have only wished ill on one player. That was Bruce Clark a defensive lineman who the Packers drafted in the first round who flat out refused to play in Green Bay. I was a teenager at the time and in 1980 the Packers had been down on their luck for 10 years. It was the ultimate insult. I wished injury on him, but then I thought about it just didn't seem right. So I wished him a short and unremarkable career. He had a few good years with the Saints and then faded away.
It was only with the arrival of Ron Wolf, Mike Holmgren, and Reggie White that I realized it was probably the Packers' fault. They never should have drafted a guy who didn't want to play for them. Teams need to do their research.
