Well put Cooter. I think your sentiments are the same as many GB fans. Sounds like Jerry Krause when he thought he could win without Michael Jordan. The Packers still have plenty to be excited about, but it will be hard not to ask "what if?" if they lose a bunch of games or come up short in the playoffs with Rodgers at the helm.

I don't get how you don't welcome him back if you are the pack. I would think if they don't do well this year Ted & Mike could well loose their jobs over this.

i'm glad we didn't get him for the conditional 4th round....cause with the vikes we would of had to end up giving them a 2nd or possibly a 1st.

then at the end of the season wonder if he's coming back and whats goin on...we'd be in the same boat as the packers and out a 2nd or 1st round pick.

i would of been all for getting him for a 4th or 5th like i was sayin...its pretty dumb to trade for a guy that your gonna have to give up a 1st or 2nd for and he's only gonna play one season possibly 2.

everyone would of thought this trade would of been so awesome and the best thing the vikes ever did....but i'd rather have jared allen then favre any day of the week.....it could only be jared....woooooooooooooooooooooooo.....can't wait to see rodgers face having to deal with our D line ahahahahahaha

Another aspect of Favre coming back and then being traded is the additional pressure thats gonna be on Rodgers. The guy had big enough shoes to try to fill and now the criticism he'll get if he doesn't play spectacular will be crazy - especially if Favre plays well in NY. Tough spot for him made tougher.

Cooter, Favre put the Packers in a tough spot! I wouldnt want to be the front office with all of what Brett did. I agree that if they were that concerned about Favre they should have kept him! Or traded to the highest bidder of any team! Now that would have been the teams best interest in my opinion, keep him, or trade to the highest bidder. Although I applaud the Packers for not giving into Favre, they gave him many chances not to retire, he chose to, he has done this several years now. I am glad they stood upto him, although like I said, it wasnt in the teams best interest! But being a Vikings fan, I am not worried about the Packers best interests wink

I stillz am a little miffed over this situation, even being a Vikes fan.

You have a q-back who has proved him self time and time again, retires, and wants to come back. This is part of the American Dream O.K… Green Bay goes on to others things (they are a good organization no matter what side of the border you are on and Rodgers is a big boy and GB I assume does not shell out millions on a whim). Ok now we are in the present day situation with Favray. The guy wants to come to MN and by the way it sounded, MN would possibly have done what was needed to get him over here. Yet, the guy has to go to the Jets??? and live out his carrier.

I do not know about you, but what a kick in the shorts to a seasoned Q-back.

T-jack has at least 2-3 years before he becomes a major assist to the Vikes. Short of a fluke season, I at least see another repeat of last season. I still look at him like a Coldpepper.

I am a die hard fan of the Vikes and as much as I say every year I am going to ice fish more and not watch the Vikes, I watch every game. But I am no dummy. It’s like a broken record every year.

I thought this year things would shake up and even if it was not a great year, T-jack would have gotten a little piece of Favray.

I will have to start my Sunday icefishing this year grin

I always do my Sunday fishing. I just DVR the game. Most of the time I go out at 6 AM and I'm home by noon anyway.

I wish GB would have kept him.

He was not very good in the dome and the Vikes were about .500 against him.

Hammer Handle...He was starting to get pretty comfortable in the dome. The last 5 years his record was 4 - 1 throwing 12TD's and 2INT's....probably would have done very well if the purple could have signed him (and they definitely would have if that was an option).

I just can't believe the Packers will go into the season with 3 quarterbacks that have a total of 4 or 5 NFL games on their resume'. Aaron Rodgers looked ok last night but if he gets hurt like 90% of NFL quarterbacks do at least one game during the season, the Packers will be depending on 2 rookies as backups. As a Vikes fan I am happy to see this but it is hard to believe what the Packers are thinking on this front. Rodgers is not Favre on the injury front as far as I can tell. Go get him Jared Allen!!

Favre's bad in the Dome that's just CRAZY!

Thank goodness he's gone.... I think Rodgers will do just fine and it's probably the right move for the Packers future to have moved on!

Go Vike's!

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st

      As I get older it's really not just about sending bullets down range.  Some of it's just the workmanship of the gun and the wow factor. The other two guns I have really wanted which I'll never have now because of their price, is a 8mm Jap Nambu and 9mm German Luger.   Just thought they always looked cool!

      I had a guy hit me with a lightly used 1969 BAR, he wanted $1650 with an older Leupold scope. More than I think they are worth, I made an offer, he declined end of story.   You know if you look at the old brochures, a grade II BAR sold for $250 in the late 60s, $1650 would be a good return on your investment.    Why would anybody want a 50 year old gun, they are heavy, have wood stocks, and blued metal.  I guess mainly to keep their gun safes glued to the floor. lol   You can probably buy a stainless rifle that you never have to clean, with a synthetic stock you never have to refinish, is as light as a feather, and for half as much money, perfect.   I'm too old for a youth gun, although I've shrunk enough that it would probably fit. lol   No Ruger 10/44s.   Jim
