It’s been eight years since Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers were teammates in Green Bay.
Back then, many assumed there was a legitimate beef between the two because Favre was clearly on the downside of his career, while Rodgers was primed to be his successor.
Favre recently appeared on ESPN Wisconsin to clear the air.
“Was there animosity toward Aaron Rodgers [in the summer of 2008]? No, there wasn’t,” Favre said. “I like Aaron. Aaron and I get along fine. I knew at some point he had to play. I knew he had tremendous potential. All those things have come true, and I don’t feel like, ‘Well, what about me?’
The 45-year-old went on to elaborate.
“Again, my body of work speaks for itself. I’m a different player than he is. He’s a tremendous player and a great leader, and he’s doing exactly what I thought he’d do. When people try to create a wedge either with me and a player or me and the organization, there isn’t one. Life goes on, I understand that, and I’m OK with that. But again, what I did speaks for itself.”
Do you guys believe Favre?
