The SkinBasket addresses this situation

[SkinBasket]

The SkinBakset believes Favre never intended to play for GB this year after he decided he wanted to play in the NFL again. The Skinbasket believes that Brett wants one more chance to simply play the game, free of the tremendous weight, obligation, and expectation that playing for the Green Bay Packers presents. Thus the strongly and strangely worded requests. The waffling. The drama.

He has given near two decades of his football life to Green Bay. There were restrictions placed on him. Expectations. Hopes. Dreams. Wet dreams. And more. The SkinBakset deeply believes that someone who loves to play the game the way Brett does simply wants to give it a go free from all of that. He simply wants to play football for the love of playing football. For better or worse, he cannot do that in Green Bay. Favre needs to play somewhere else like a successful man in a mid life crisis who married the first woman who fucked him needs to hump a hooker.

Don't blame the man. Blame yourself for expecting so much from a human being.

[Deputy Nutz]

Skinbasket takes a large supply of antidepressants, he doesn't even know what state he lives in much less what realm he occupies.

[MJZiggy]

Zig wonders which Siberian team we'd have to trade him to so that he could be free of all their fans' hopes, wet dreams and expectations...

[Brando19]

The Brando doesn't believe Skinbasket's theory. The Branman believes Favre knows he stands the best chance of going to the Super Bowl with the Packers and he realizes he made a bad choice of retiring, now he knows it may be too late and he doesn't know what to do, so he's letting his agent try to play poker with the Packers. That's just what Branmeishter thinks.

[pbmax]

Max thinks that if this line of thinking is true, its the cold weather and not the expectations that are driving him into Skinbasket's hooker's anti-depressant holding arms.

[Bretsky]

Skinbasket takes a large supply of antidepressants, he doesn't even know what state he lives in much less what realm he occupies.


Ah, Bretsky thinks that explains the view :lol:
Bretsky thinks Favre wants to come back to Green Bay
Bretsky thinks Favre mishandled much of this and if there was any doubt Favre should have annouced he'd keep playing and later retire in July or August if the fire is not there
Bretsky thinks all would be kosher if he'd have done that
Bretsky thinks this whole thread should be in third person

Bretsky thinks it's cool that Ziggy mentions Wet Dreams in the Packer forum

[HarveyWallbangers]

The Harv thinks things will end up alright. The Harv also thinks The Skin blows goat.

[Brando19]

The Brando can't wait to hear The Brett speak publicly. Favre man is going to hopefully clear up alot. Eh...who's the Bran kiddin? This won't be cleared up until week 1........of 2010.

[swede]

Yeah, Basket. You're right, man. Absolutely.

The swede holds a plastic cup filled with beer and nods his head in agreement with the Basket, synching the nods to the loud music and pretending to scope out chicks...not that he'd do anything if he saw some.

If swede stands next to the cool guys and pretends to scope out chicks, nodding in feigned agreement with anything the cool guys say makes swede seem cool by association.

swede has to find cooler guys to stand next to, that's for sure.

[mission]

The Mission is a big fan of third person and happens to agree somewhat with Skinbasket's take on it ...

Mission says Favre just wants to play some ball where its warm and put up some more numbers to make sure Manning never touches em ... He's never been a MASSIVE SUPERBOWL OR DIE from what Mr. Mission can tell. more that he just likes playin football like sir mission does.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I think we know lots of stuff for sure:

stuff 1: Thompson & McCarthy don't want Favre. Otherwise they would have simply embraced his return.

stuff 2: Favre is too proud to play for a team that is indifferent to him.

stuff 3: The team isn't going to release Favre

stuff 4: Favre is not going to sit home and watch TV this fall, this is his last chance to play and he's made the plunge.


sounds like a trade

[3irty1]

The 3irty1 thinks that's what the CFL is for.

[Chubbyhubby]

ChubbyHubby thinks that this thread is hilarous! ChubbyHubby also thinks that If the Packers do trade Favre we should get a 1st round pick AND a pro-bowl player! Thats what ChubbyHubby thinks.....

[bobblehead]

bobble fucking hates JO's that speak in the third person...great now you've infected bobble and he too is an arrogant jack off.

[Scott Campbell]

The Skinbasket copied Scott Campbell's paper.

OPF thinks that if he starts referring to himself in the third person his sixth grade nun, Sister Gorgella, is going to rise from the dead and resume smacking his knuckles with a ruler! :)

[Jimx29]

Bretsky thinks this whole thread should be in third personNUMB AGREES WITH BRETSKY ON ONE CONDITION, IT MUST BE THIRD PERSON AND ALL CAPS SO AS TO INCLUDE NUMBS 2 FAVORITE FEATURES OF FORUMS/BULLETIN BOARDS/MEGGENGERS :)

[Freak Out]

Ricky fucking Henderson stole a ton of bases.

[Lurker64]

I have to say that if Brett Favre really expects to be able to play somewhere else this season simply because he wants to, he's down there with the Chad Johnsons and Terrell Owens of the world. The man is under contract, and barring the possibility that he and his agent figure out a way to get significant contribution for him (at least a first day pick and a player), he's a Packer or he doesn't play.

Contracts don't go away because you want them to.

[Bretsky]

Bretsky is down with that because Bretsky thinks if Favre is in Green Bay he will start

I don't think Favre really wants a trade just to play; Brett would have to learn yet another system/play book? Get outta here! MJ did it though but that's BB

[sheepshead]

So, skin man if we follow your thinking, we should be kicking the shit out of any team that doesn't require their players to work out prior to opening day. Are any of those teams on our schedule this year?

[SkinBasket]

The Skinbasket copied Scott Campbell's paper.

The SkinBasket apologizes. We did not have the proper time to read through the thousands of Favrian posts as the SkinBasket has been painting.

[sharpe1027]

The Sharpe thinks the Favre should listen to the Favre's comments about the Javon Walker and then honor the Favre's contract.

[PackerTimer]

PackerTimer thinks this is funny. How quickly people forget their own words. Although the slight difference is that PackerTimer thinks Favre might actually believe he's done whats best for the Packers. Mort was on EPSN the other day, it sounded like Favre claims to be understanding of the situation he has now put the Packers in and thinks they should move on. The only way to do that is to let him go. In Favres eyes he's doing whats best for the team where JWALK was trying to get more money.

The Sharpe thinks it is funny if the Favre would think the Favre knows what is best for the Packers. If so, the Sharpe thinks maybe the Favre should apply for the GM position and the headcoach position.

The Sharpe can't see how an outright release instead of a trade (or coming back to play for GB) is good for anyone by the Favre and the Cook. The Sharpe thinks the outright release request shows the Favre is concerned about the Favre first.

[Tarlam!]

Tarlam! is torn and miserable. So shocked is he by what has transpired since Friday, that he has been fully unable to post.

And Tarlam! will need reading glasses hencewith due to ruining his bloody eyes by reading so many bloody posts made by PackerRats.

Tarlam! has spoken.

According to timelines I've read, Favre was wanted, but chose to stay retired when the first inkling of unretirement came up in late March. What's a team to do? Keep holding out hope that he changes his mind after he retires at a presser, then waffles, then decides to stay retired, OR move on and take him at his word? They kind of had to move on, which is why A-Rod became the man and why they drafted 2 QB's in this year's draft. If Favre had just decided to come back, we wouldn't be filling up this thread right now. He does give us the best chance to win now vs. Rodgers, but should the Packers become wafflers because Brett pump faked them? I don't know. Rodgers did nothing wrong in all this and I feel bad for the kid if he loses the job he earned through Favre's retirement. That said, if the team decided to bring Favre back to the active roster and he beat out Rodgers to become the starter, I still think it's the best thing from a winning football point of view.

The SkinBasket still doesn't see what SheepOne is trying to say. Is It trying to say that no other teams want the Brett unit because he hasn't attended their off season camps? Does the SheepOne believe that makes the Brett unit inferior to say... the poorly manufactured Grossman unit or the obsolete Garcia unit?

The SheepOne speaks of following the SkinBasket's thinking. The SkinBasket believes the SheepOne to be without the appropriate map. The SkinBasket's thinking is that Brett unit wants to play football like a young unit again - without the pressures involved with playing for the city that views him as God's second son. The Bret unit wants to be able to succeed or fail without disappointing his legacy. The Bret unit cannot do that in Green Bay. The Bret unit therefore wants to move on to enjoy a season or two without expectations and obligations. There is your map woolly one. Read it.

cute, however, there is no such place, not in the NFL or CFL for that matter.

There is no place that is not Green Bay? The Legacy of the Brett Favre is interwoven with the Green Bay Packers. Seventeen years of tapestry including all of his accomplishments, failures, and everything in between. Simply disconnecting himself from said tapestry alleviates a huge amount of the self-imposed, fan-imposed, and franchise imposed pressure.


It would be sweet to bring Jerry Rice and Barry Sanders out of retirement with him and team up in Oakland. Let Fatty Russell learn from the legends of the 90s.

[sheepshead]

there is no such place that "doesnt" demand that their team put out a winner or demand that their players take part in pre-season conditioning. All 31 other markets and their fans are looking to win the super bowl just like we are. (why on earth do I have to spell this out?)

The 3irty1 believes that the Skin Basket was assuming that Favre wouldn't tell Favre's new employer that Favre intended on taking football less seriously since that would be dumb. Favre could probably get himself onto an NFL roster before showing that Favre intended on playing for fun with no expectations. 3irty1 believes there to be teams in the league whose quarterback situations are so dismal that Favre showing up in any capacity is an improvement and therefore the Skn Basket's story could be set in reality. Unfortunately for this hypothetical version of Favre, most of these teams are in the Packer's division.

Arizona. Detroit. Atlanta. Miami. Oakland. I win.

If you really believe that every team believes it can win the Super Bowl in any given year, you're a fool. This is still a business after all. Any of these teams puts Favre on the field and they boost revenue instantly. Sometimes winning is a long term goal. Staying in the black is an every day goal.
