I'll clear my schedule. Again.

As a Chicagoan who's suffered through one crappy team after another due to the ugly split between Michael Jordan and Bulls management in 1999, why do I have this sinking feeling that history is about to repeat itself in Green Bay?

[Tony Oday]

I just Hope Favre doesnt play like "Sir" Jordan after he left...

[boiga]

The video is up in case you guys want to listen in on the reporters' lame jokes again.

[packers11]

bump

[boiga]

D'oh locker room is being done first... conference has been delayed... again...


Dang you *

[Pacopete4]

haha.. this is insane how they make u wait, and wait

[Chevelle2]

How long is this wait? Do I have time to take a dump?

[CaliforniaCheez]

Delayed now sked 16:55 local time.

[prsnfoto]

Everyone has pretty much left hope they tell MM games start at least a couple hours early so he shows up. :D

[Joemailman]

How long is this wait? Do I have time to take a dump?

You probably have time to order a pizza.

[Pacopete4]

Did I hear a guy say he was traded for a 6th rounder from a guy in there?

[packers11]

Did I hear a guy say he was traded for a 6th rounder from a guy in there?

I just fkin heard that too.... WTF?!?!?!?

[Pacopete4]

"what a waste" is another comment...

[boiga]

Did I hear a guy say he was traded for a 6th rounder from a guy in there?Just that he will be because the Packer lack leverage. It's a funny conversation though.

[sheepshead]

Theyre all drinking beer and lurking on Packerrats!!!

[HarveyWallbangers]

Did I hear a guy say he was traded for a 6th rounder from a guy in there?

Is it conditional? Probably could have gotten a 2nd if Favre hadn't played this game. Damn! Screwed us again.
:D

[Pacopete4]

Gruden is the perfect coach to tame Favre's anger and beat the snot outta us come week 4... thats a scary game

[Pacopete4]

people were chanting "7 for 20" at rodgers today

[Gunakor]

people were chanting "7 for 20" at rodgers today

They are all lucky I wasn't in attendance... extremely lucky. How the fuck is that going to help this team get ready for the season? Jesus..

You'd think the fans would be more supportive of thier team.

[Mazzin]

Fellas check your e-mail.



(phones dialing)

[bbbffl66]

Anyone else think that watching this non press conference is god awful boring?!!!

[boiga]

two minute warning!!!

Edit: I'm just listening while playing freecell... but dang that's a loud soundcheck

[packers11]

bump. 1 minute

[Mazzin]

GAME TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[boiga]

D'oh...

To conclude, talks are continuing...

[Gunakor]

Jesus effing chryst... still no answers???

THE WAIT CONTINUES!!!

[GBRulz]

Still saying he's not committed...come on, Brett...wtf

[HarveyWallbangers]

people were chanting "7 for 20" at rodgers today

Complete I-D-I-O-T-S!!!

[boiga]

He's not committed to playing.... STILL????

Edit: "He's not in the right mindset to play here..."

[Rastak]

Still saying he's not committed...come on, Brett...wtf

I think he wants to play, just not for Green Bay. He ain't happy.

[GBRulz]

Another press conference about nothing.

[packers11]

I hope Favre is listening on T.V.

[packers11]

Favre is waffling to play in GB... whats fkin new...

[boiga]

So why the hell did he come here if he doesn't want to play for us.....

[Rastak]

Wow, they talked for 5 hours and never got around to his role?


Damn......

[Mazzin]

M 3 is FUCKING PISSED!!!!!!! He is fed up with this childish act.

[Rastak]

So why the hell did he come here if he doesn't want to play for us.....


They have his rights, he had too.

[Gunakor]

So why the hell did he come here if he doesn't want to play for us.....

Because he's under contract. If he wants to play this year, he had to report to us first. Doesn't matter if here is where he was going to end up.

[packers11]

looks like MM is going to snap soon... Hes tired of all of the shit going on...

[GoPackGo]

Now I actually beleive Brett won't be back :cry:

[sheepshead]

The more I hear, the more Bus Cook looks totally incompetent.

[packers11]

Now I actually beleive Brett won't be back :cry:

I don't think he wants to be back...

[GBRulz]

Yup...Brett has played his last game as a Packer. I am 100% convinced of it now.

[packers11]

I think he doesn't even know if he wants to play or not... the hell?!

[boiga]

M3 won't let him in the locker room "with a negative mindset."

McCarthy's been the man throughout all of this.

[Gunakor]

Tom Pippens is a fucking moron... He asks if the Packers are better off moving forward without Brett given the fact that Brett doesn't want to play here. WTF kind of a dumbass question is that??

[GBRulz]

To be a fly on the wall in those meetings....

[falco]

To be a fly on the wall in those meetings....

i always got the impression you'd rather be a fly on the wall in the locker room

[packers11]

FAVRE GO TO CAMP OR FKIN LEAVE GB!!!

[boiga]

He's PISSED at the media.

Can't blame him.

Edit: He's going to smack one of this reporters...

[falco]

i like MM

[motife]

"Why would I want to let anyone with a negative attitude into my locker room?"

McCarthy sounds a little angry in spots.

[GBRulz]

To be a fly on the wall in those meetings....

i always got the impression you'd rather be a fly on the wall in the locker room

Can't I be both? :lol:

[Mazzin]

me too, and MUCH more after watching him be firm, without blowing his lid! Hes one cool customer.

and RODGERS is the START stop whining. :cry:

[falco]

more proof that favre is a fucking egomaniac

all he had to do 2 months ago is hold a press conference and say "I 100% want to come back and play this year", ask for his reinstatement, and let the packers do what they would with him

it really is that simple

[falco]

MM really should wrap this up, he's just exposing himself more and more by still talking

[motife]

"I didn't get the answers I was looking for. Why would I want to let that into my locker room?"

[Mazzin]

And still cracking jokes im in love!

[packers11]

He wants to play, but not in GB... Ouch

[motife]

The transcript of this press conference is going to show McCarthy is through with messing around on this issue.

[imscott72]

Yup...Brett has played his last game as a Packer. I am 100% convinced of it now.

Yep. Sounds like MM was ready to offer him the competition and Brett said no thanks. Not much more MM can do if Brett doesn't want to play for the Packers.

[Pacopete4]

He wants to play, but not in GB... Ouch


His feelings are hurt too much to come back here... He hates TT

[motife]

"Tell me I'm wrong. I think your decision to come back is strictly emotional."

[packers11]

HAHAHAHA ... injury?!!? he eat to much?

[boiga]

lower abdominal strain....

That explains the injury listing.

[motife]

McCarthy is the one grown up in this chaos.

[GBRulz]

awww, they were at Sammy's Pizza???

[Noodle]

MM is doing a great job. Seriously, he's being respectful about Brett, he's doing what he has to with the press, but he's keeping within fair limits.

Incredibly good job.

[GBRulz]

What a dumb ass question..."Did you ever yell at each other?"

[boiga]

He says they didn't yell.... I'm not sure I believe him on that one.

[Gunakor]

LOL I don't think MM likes Tom Pippens anymore.

[red]

yuck

just yuck

brett 100% wants to play this year. just not for the packers after whats gone on the last month or so.

so says m3

[footballfever]

MM needs to bust out that line from that coach at osu last year or whenever that was. Someone just asked him about rodgers, he shoulda said I'm a man I'm 40 you want to boo somebody boo me not a kid whos done everything right. I still laugh when i think about that outburst, that was awesome.

That coach got a lot of positive letters form parents of the kids. Although it was funny.

[GBRulz]

Who is this dumb eff reporter asking these money questions?

[Gunakor]

Who is this dumb eff reporter asking these money questions?

Tom Pippens, Fox 6 Sports, Milwaukee

[Maxie the Taxi]

McCarthy is the one grown up in this chaos.

Thank God for Mike McCarthy. He's a rock. Best thing going for the Packers, period.

[packers11]

o god...

the "feeling wanted part"

not this again... :beat:

[imscott72]

100% agree..

[sheepshead]

LOL I don't think MM likes Tom Pippens anymore.

That guys a wienie isnt he?

[GBRulz]

Is TT standing behind everyone in the room with a sign for M3 that reads "The trade is done?"

M3 went from sounding incredibly pissed off to joking around/laid back within like 5 minutes...

[Gunakor]

LOL I don't think MM likes Tom Pippens anymore.

That guys a wienie isnt he?

Ya he is. But he's the sports anchor for Fox 6. Personally, I like Van Vooren better.

[packers11]

that answered about 0 of my questions...

i'll be back later :lol:

[Pacopete4]

soooo... another night, another convo with Brett Favre... caaaaant wait to hear the presser tomorrow

[boiga]

Jeez.... that was a buzz kill.

Say goodbye to Brett.

Vote M3 for coach of the year.

[Maxie the Taxi]

Jeez.... that was a buzz kill.

Say goodbye to Brett.

Vote M3 for coach of the year.

He earned it before the season has even started.

[sheepshead]

I noticed he squirmed when asked where Brett was going to be tomorrow. As if maybe he knew it was going to be Florida.

[Pacopete4]

Jeez.... that was a buzz kill.

Say goodbye to Brett.

Vote M3 for coach of the year.


For what?.... he's still gotta put his players in the best position to win football games and execute it..

I love MM... he's a great guy... but he still needs to win under any circumstance

[motife]

McCarthy was respectful, but also brutally tough.

This is a man who does not suffer fools gladly.

[Gunakor]

that answered about 0 of my questions...

i'll be back later :lol:

Well, it answered one of mine. Favre isn't going to be a Packer this year, and as I thought, it's because he doesn't want to play here. The only question I have left that has yet to be answered is, well, where is he going?

[boiga]

For what?....

Let me put it this way: Imagine that exact same press conference hosted by Brad Childress.....


Now do you see?

[Pacopete4]

Now do you see?


Press conferences dont win you shit... simple as that

[bbbffl66]

Boy, this is just a mess! There is nothing good that can happen now. Either way

[CaliforniaCheez]

If it wasn't obvious before

The Packer management do not want anything to do with Brett Favre.

The door is shut.

Q: How long will Brett Favre be in town?

A: I don't know.

There are so many better ways to handle this. What a bunch of fools with no creativity.

I may boycott the NFL for awhile.

I may boycott the NFL for awhile.McCarthy opened the door to having Favre come back in as long as he was fully committed to being a Packer again. Favre said he couldn't do it after everything that's happened.

What more did you want M3 to do? If Favre can't walk through that door, there is no reason in leaving it open.

Ya, tis basically good on both parts...

If Favre hates it here.. he shouldn't have to be


If Favres attitude isn't right, then MM should keep him away from the team

[boiga]

If Favres attitude isn't right, then MM should keep him away from the team Welcome to the Dark Side, Paco.

Let's hope Rodgers can get this done.

haha.. I wouldn't put me completely there because I still hate the organization right now for this... there HAS TO BE something they did to get him this way... Favre is good people, he wouldn't just feel this way for no reason...


we are not being told the whole story...

[dissident94]

Would you want to come in and compete for a position when they truly don't want you. Where they have said over and over they do not want you.

When they even offer you money not to try for that position.

When they send people to your house to tell you to stay away.

And because the issue is forced on them they say you can compete.

Just because there is talk of open competition and they say they welcomed you back. They truly dont want him there. And haven't for awhile.

We've moved on is a bunch of crap

THis whole thing just proves they truly didn't want him back I believe. I knowhte report about March but we don't know all the details, maybe he even felt then they didn't want him.

They have their future QB in place and its clear they want to go with him.

I think it sucks but I have no say in it.

BOOOOOM back to the good side..... Favre was completely fucked in this deal! :lol:

[CaliforniaCheez]

"Brett Favre is anxious to compete."

"He is fully committed to playing. Just not here."

"His mindset isn't right."

Is he on the non-football injury list? "Yes"



NO WONDER BRETT DOESN'T TRUST THESE SNAKES!!

[RIPackerFan]

That's what got me - I believed everything until he revealed that they put him on the injury list - and this was known prior to the meeting with Favre yesterday.

Thus, Favre knew that they were putting him on the list prior to the meeting...and I am sure he feels fine - another way they could screw him in trying to win back the starting position.

And why should someone NOT in the Packer organization be consulted on personnel issues?

[RIPackerFan]

I was tying to read between the lines and there was some fuzzy wording - Favre wants to compete......he's ready to play......he understands that Arod is the starter.

What exactly did MM want Brett to say? I wonder if his question was - will you agree to play for two more years?

[NewsBruin]

Is there any way to view archived Press Conferences?

[boiga]

Is there any way to view archived Press Conferences? It'll be on here in a couple of hours : http://www.packers.com/multimedia/videos/recent/

[wpony]

You know m3 is saying in Bretts mind set that he wouldnt let him in his locker room and all this but how did mike start the meeting off glad to have you back Brett or more like hey shit head now that your back what should we do with you?
He seemed happy on family night and so did driver something tells me he came here to play and he got shot down by either TT or m3 but right now with everything that has happened the best place for Brett will be Tampa. lets see how happy every one is in Dec I Hope Arod is Great and people give him a chance and he resigns with us if people keeps booing him.
mike did answer all the questions good at his PC and even TT has been sounding better but remember they hired a profesional lier to train them to lie better. Has any other football team ever hired a ex presidential press secretay to help them with 1 player? lets just hope this is over tonight :(
