I thought that very interesting and would have assumed the reverse. Yes, I know he said it wasn't mended yet with TT, but at least they were still in touch.Quote:

I said years ago that it was MM. It was Favre's day long meeting with MM that was the last straw that ended his tenure in GB. He met with TT only a short time, but so long with MM that MM cancelled practice that day. Can't for the life of me figure out what they talked about for a whole day. Should have been.
MM; "Hi Brett."
BF; "Hi Mike."
MM; "Brett, I think Aaron is ready to play, and probably won't go into hibernation in the cold like you did in the last game."
BF; "I don't know, Mike; he's damn young with no experience. Heck, I have thrown 10 times as many interceptions as he has completions."
MM; "Believe me, I know that. You ready to compete with him head to head for the starting job?"
BF; "Mike, I'm frickin' BRETT FAVRE! The fan's will have your ass if I don't start."
MM; "My decision to make, Brett. Bye, Brett."
TT would never have gotten rid of Favre without MM being comfortable with Rodgers as the starter. I have always felt MM said it was time.
I think it was MM's decision not to bring Favre back once he had announced his retirement. Once that decision was made, it was TT's decision on what to do with Favre, which is where it got publicly ugly because Favre wanted to be released.
Retired plus Giants playoff game. Remember the scuttlebutt that M3 was mad about play calling changes and performance in that game. I think that was one of Bob's Sunday "the end is nigh" pieces.
M3 isn't quite Coughlin in terms of being unbending, but the man does like to plan ahead.
Where did the "stick it to Ted" comments come from? Favre or his camp?
Nice overview of the interviews with beat guys Favre held yesterday.

The countdown has begun....

I can't wait for the speech; rather than prepare, he's winging it.
I expect at least one INT. Butler will catch it.

Anyone notice how fucked up Larry's left pinky is? Whoa.
Also need to bet on whether he is packing a chaw or not during the speech.
I'm betting he will be extremely well-groomed. No stray ear or nose hairs. Copper compression cuff on elbow: 50-50 chance. Need to check Vegas odds.
1.5 - over/under on mentions of his Father.Quote:

The NFLN will be showcasing Favre and the 1996 team all day on Saturday and will broadcast the HOF induction ceremony live.
Nothing like the NFL publicity machine to blow things out of proportion. Are they going to start broadcasting HOF ceremonies for all teams? For GB every year?Quote:
