I think his agenda has been totally self-centered for the past 2 years, and IMO these kind of antics don't qualify as "give it all and then give some more spirit."

What I'm basically thinking is that, at this point, it's no longer simply the love of the game/winning that's driving him. And if I'm right, he's no longer the football player I once revered.
Yeah, and I really think it's more the yearly soap opera and histrionics that are bugging people. If he had said last year I wanna play but Green Bay is running me out, everyone would have supported him. What we got instead was a tearful goodbye followed by a comeback followed by a diva-like list of demands. The problem is the endless deliberation and attendant media soap opera (part of which is perhaps not his fault) that seems to come every year. He's been holding training camp hostage for what, five years now?

As way back as 2005 he was asking "what are they gonna do, cut me?" when asked about the Packer's potential objections to his slow as molasses retirement deliberations. For all his pluck on the field, this is not a man who ever struck me as caring about any of his teammates, coaches or fans as much as he cares about himself.
