[Zool]

Interesting, I thought SI writers were contractually obligated to love Brett?

NFL.com has a vote. Favre or the Packers organization. You too can vote.

What a shame.

Is lying a required part of his job? :?:

[HowardRoark]

I liked this line.....

Sorry, but this has to be asked: Greta Van Susteren? What, was Nancy Grace already booked that night? For a minute there I thought Favre might have some new information on the Natalee Holloway disappearance.

well, no kidding. Most people around the country love Brett Favre, and they don't know the whole story of what went down.


Ask Packer fans "Should Brett Favre be guaranteed a starting position?", which is now the crux of the matter, and you will see a very different result.

Newsflash

We don't either

We just think we do cause we've followed what's been reported to the best of our ability

[bobblehead]

actually no poll matters one iota. TT has a job to do, and self preservation tells you he is going to do what is best for his career which coincides with winning. It doesn't matter what a lot of fans think, TT gets to make the call because he rebuilt this team and he alone has to live and die with his decision.

Yep. It's loud and nasty right now but one more year, after MM/TT prove they have a great team without Favre, everyones mouths will be shut once again. Really, it seems more Packer fans than not have confidence in the Packer management even now, but in a few months the wannabe GM's and Favre jock sniffers will be forced to keep their traps shut. I will thoroughly enjoy it although that gets kinda boring. This might be more fun :)

LET HIM PLAY

Bretsky, what are you saying with this statement?

The Packers are not stopping Favre from playing. They can likely work-out a trade if Favre wants to play. Favre hasn't filed his papers.

And the Packers have offered to take Favre back on the team, where chances are good that he will find playing time as a starter, or in relief of Rodgers.

Or do you REALLY mean: BENCH RODGERS AND GUARANTEE FAVRE A STARTING JOB

Your current statement leaves the false impression that the Packers are preventing Favre from playing. Say what you mean.

[RashanGary]

Yeah, Bretsky's caught up a little too much in the drama here. Have you been paying attention, Bretsky?

What a shame.

Yup.

On the same site, they have an interesting slide show of players ending their careers in places other than where they were most famous. The weirdest one to me was being reminded that Joe Namath ended up with the Rams.

what job doesn't require a little lying every now and then

you think brett hasen't lied in all this...
i am officially retiring from the nfl & the green bay packers
it's been a great relationship with the packers
i hope they appropriate me as much as i do them
i don't want to play anymore
it's hard living up to being brett favre...

i could go on and on... just go watch the retirement speech again

so in answer to your question... yes, some lies are just bigger than others

No one knows the 'whole story'........which makes all this speculation worthless.

(Vetrans discuss Favre)

Tim Brown says the Packers didn't want Brett there last year...........any truth to that?

I'm guessing he's speculating. The media is good at that.

Whatever happened to having to check and recheck, verify and reverify your sources before you print. Tim Brown (future HOFer) didn't say 'I think, or I heard, or someone said'..........he just plain said the Packers didn't want Brett there last year. So..............stop the presses......print it as fact.

Hey, we agree on something :lol:

[MJZiggy]

Welcome to 24/7 news. Gotta fill the airwaves and news pages with something--and gotta do it first--so when you can't find enough facts, you use "truthiness" instead. Thank you Steven Colbert.

I agree completely. They should rush to put it on the air, as soon as they verify it's a fact. Gotta love the phrase "an e-mail to the Packers was not returned."

[packinpatland]

Remember in that movie 'All the President's Men'........Bernstein and Woodward had to verify every single thing they wrote.......and the editor had to 'trust' that there really was a 'Deep Throat'.
Those days are gone.

[MJZiggy]

They're just gossipping like we are. They are just gossipping with "better sources"

[packinpatland]

They're just gossipping like we are. They are just gossipping with "better sources"

.........and getting published. :roll:

And paid, and called an expert or analyst.

[MJZiggy]

Ok, so they've got a few perks. Doesn't mean they actually KNOW any more than we do...

[packinpatland]

That's pretty much what I said. Writers today just write, they don't verify anything as truth or fact before they write. Guess that would make some of them 'great writers of fiction'.
