I"ll add this 'bigger picture look' to your post George. This is a decent synopsis of the most of it. The Brett Favre and Green Bay Packer drama. Of course, Brett Favre plays 'good cop - bad cop' in this drama. It omits the post game chat between Favre and Julius Peppers in Dec. 2010.

My point is simply this: bearing long-term grudges and being unwilling to forgive is toxic and soul-destroying and therefore it is everyone's best interests for the hatchet to be buried. This bears true for Favre, Rodgers, M3, TT and, most importantly, the fans. I won't lie to anyone, I was disgusted with Favre and reveled in his meltdown during the Minn/NO game, I thought it just desserts for Favre, the Vikings and their fans. But I've moved on, it sounds like AR has moved on and this suggests that Favre may be on that path as well.

Did everyone watch his interview with Deon Sanders; it's obvious he still has issues with TT and still does from that interview. I think that happened last year. It was a two part. He came accross better than in the past but there are still issues in his mind
LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?
When Favre said he doesn't know when a retirement ceremony will take place, I took that to mean he doesn't know how long Ted Thompson will be in the Packer organization. The timing is really up to him. The Packers, I believe want a reconcilement before Favre's Canton induction, but Favre has to be a willing participant. There was some hope last year that inviting Favre to Holmgren's Packer HOF induction would be a start to a reconcilement, but much to the chagrin of people like Bob Harlan, Favre didn't show. There is now some hope that his appearance with Rodgers will lead to something. We'll see.Favre said he assumes he’ll some day return to Green Bay, where he played from 1992 to 2007 and was named NFL MVP three times. But he doesn’t know when that will be, and he doesn’t think he needs to see his jersey hung up to show what he accomplished.
“That day will come. I haven’t lost any sleep over it, nor have they, I think,” Favre said. “What I did speaks for itself. What I left behind speaks for itself.”

This is kinda amusing. What if the Packers had given in to Bret Favre and allowed him to continue as their NO.1 QB in the 2008 season??

Can't any of you not understand issues between Ted Thompson and Brett Favre? Are they much alike and both such warm and down to earth people? These two men couldn't be more unalike.
That whole thing from the beginning could have been handled alot better except fpr the personalities involved. Some people simply clash as an inherant disfunction of their manners and personalities.
I look at the hard facts. The black and white of it. How close was the Packer GM to Brett Favre and the events leading up to Favre's trade to the New York Jets. Ted Thompson sent Mike McCarthy to do, essentially his job. I know the issues between Ted Thompson and Favre began long before that time. It's always been my perspective that that was a marriage that was never going to work out.
The real issue here now is the Green Bay Packers and no personality clash can exceed the great story of the Green Bay Packer history and future. This is what all Packer fans need to see and gravitate to. To withdraw from the smallness of this whole thing.
GO PACKERS !

Hi B.
I've gone over that interview several times; trying to find some evidence of what you write above. Specifically Favre and any issues with Ted Thompson. I want to get some real evidence in terms of his public statements RE: Ted Thompson as to derogotory feelings about Ted Thompson.
PACKERS !

This is supposed to be Favre in the drivers seat. https://twitter.com/MrYoYoSmith/stat...437504/photo/1
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

Then....Get that done ASAP.
We don't want Favre tossing strikes to Greg Jennings and carrying him on his shoulders next season. Rumours are circulating that Brett Favre is getting that 'Old Time Feeling' after recent talks to Greg. Greg Jennings is causing more concerns than we realize.
How do we stop this happening in Minnesota Viking history?

Favre is not replacing Ponder in MN. One is seriously gullible if one believes there's another Favre comeback in MN. The Vikes are fully committed to Ponder this coming season.
