Favre calls Romo, but not Rodgers

[th87]

I think this deserves its own thread:

http://www.usatoday.com/sports/football/nfl/packers/2008-10-15-rodgers-favre_N.htm?csp=34

So what do we know?

Favre and Rodgers haven't talked since the retirement, and they didn't talk to each other at the ESPYs despite being a few feet from each other.

What's going on? Seems like Favre has beef with Rodgers.

[Tarlam!]

Favre threw a number of people under a bus during the height of his unretirement, but A-Rod wasn't one of them.

I think it's classless of Favre to call Romo and not his old team mate.

I'm not a happy camper about Favre these days.

[th87]

Tell me about it.

What got me is that he wanted to play for the Vikings. My idealized image of him was instantly destroyed.

It's a milder version of running off with the jerk neighbor after a spousal argument (we're the children). Low.

[Guiness]

The other side of the coin might be that he's not comfortable calling Rodgers, or feels the Pack wouldn't want him to - tampering or something

Didn't you complain about all the Favre threads?? So now you make one that is extra petty and sad especially coming from you TH. Have you thought maybe Favre wants nothing to do with the Packers right now? So how do you think it would have went over if he had called ARod and told him to quit being a wuss and suck it up (pretty much what he told Romo)?? I think you would be crying about how he needed to mind his own business.

As for them not saying hi at the ESPYs, maybe they did, maybe they didnt but if not that means Rodgers also made no attempt either. Based on what was going on at the time I can understand. Saying Favre has beef with Rodgers cause they dont talk is lame.

They sure are awful concerned about a team who has as many losses as last year and has a rough patch the next 5 games and will have to play lights out to even make the playoffs this year HINT stop worrying about Favre and start worrying about our sucky O-Line and lack of depth on the D-line or perhaps our lack of much talent at LB they can't stop my grandma.

This is why Favre is and always will be a much better Quarterback than General Manager.

You make a good point, however, what just seems a little weird is that he'll call Romo when he has an injury and give him all the encouragement he can. But when the same thing happens to Rodgers, he says nothing? Not even a text like "hey bud, hope the shoulder heals up quickly, go out there and give it your all." Ya know? Just a little something.

I just don't like the vibe I'm getting from it. Specially because they were teammates for 3 fricking years.

Doesn't make Favre's actions any more tolerable, even if you propose some friggin' spygate theory.

1. No, I never complained about all the Favre threads. Don't make shit up.

http://www.packerrats.com/ratchat/search.php?search_id=1907353343&start=0

Look through here and try to find any evidence of that.

2. I've tried to be impartial about this situation. The afore-linked posting history can attest to that.

3. Saying they have beef and wondering if they could have beef are two different things.

4. Weren't you the one who wrote an article disappointed that Rodgers didn't say hi to you? So why can't I find this disappointing?

MTP, were you going to retract your false accusations, or what?

I'm fine with a single, or even double clapping, but the gigantic douchebaggery that goes along with the 25 hands clapping needs to be stopped.

It doesnt say " I really agree" it says "Look at me!!!! I'm expressing my opinion!!!"

[MJZiggy]

Good heavens the media does like to stir up trouble don't they? First, who really gives a rip if Favre calls Rodgers or not. Apparently Rodgers doesn't so why should we? These are grown men who don't have to call each other, or even like each other for that matter.

For those that do care to speculate, though, perhaps Favre feels like Rodgers is the guy who has "his" job and feels no need to be above board about it. Or maybe it's because Romo's injury was so similar to the thumb injuries that he played through.

As to Rodgers, total class act for dismissing the attempt to start a flame war outright.

Rodgers was asked, and he said he had not heard from Favre.

[Patler]

To try and maintain some objectivity, there were differences in the Romo and Rodgers situations the first few days after their injuries.

With Romo, it was announced the next day that he would be out 4 weeks. Didn't look like he was considering playing at all. The team announced immediately that Johnson would be the starter, and Johnson even did a press conference about it.

With Rodgers it was announced that they would take a wait and see attitude. Looked clearly like he would play if he could, a decision to come at game time. No comment or encouragement from anyone would change that.

[GrnBay007]

I think Madtown hit the nail on the head in the beginning of this thread....



how do you think it would have went over if he had called ARod and told him to quit being a wuss and suck it up (pretty much what he told Romo)?? I think you would be crying about how he needed to mind his own business.

I think after everything that went on prior to this season starting Favre is probably thinking it's best not to contact anyone from the Packers. It's sad the way he's viewed by some, but just look at the reaction from some on this forum, when someone,...............OMG!!!!!....posts something positive about Favre. :cat:

[Patler]

I don't care that he called Romo. I don't care that he didn't call Rodgers. As I posted earlier, there were differences in the situations of each, Rodgers immediately looking like he would play if he could and Romo immediately declared out for four weeks.

I think the fact that Favre found it necessary to tell a reporter about his conversation with Romo proves yet again just how deeply he craves media attention. Of course we all knew that from the 5 year fiasco of his retirement decisions, which I criticized for several years while he was still a Packer.

I still enjoy watching him play. I would have enjoyed watching him play for another year as a Packer. His media persona, created as much by him as by the media, I have found to be very tiring for at least the last three years. I don't miss that being attached to the Packer season at all. The Packers are again seen as a team, and not as Favre and a bunch of other guys.

Oh! I didn't hear about that... :oops:

[boiga]

I did read some where that Favre was asked if he called Rodgers and said that he lost Arod's number during the move to Jersey.

[mmmdk]

This is a reply adding to a lame thread, I know, but why the F@CK is this thread alive? Or any other bipolar thread these days? PR's too black'n'white and I'm no saint either. It sucks to the point where I question my own involvement as a fan of the Green Bay Packers. Being born in Phoenix...my fan world would be peachy if I, hypothetically, became a Cards fan (don't bother with a rage reply to the latter though :oops:).

So I say: 'Die, Favre, Die!' Just kiddin' of course (Ace Ventura I) but I am one individual that's more than disappointed in the Packers vs Favre debacle. It's a world wide laughing stock (amongst int./domestic NFL fans).

I'm hoping for a wake up call; I just don't have the answer for what medicine is needed.

The Packers are again seen as a team, and not as Favre and a bunch of other guys.

:bclap: :bclap: :bclap: :bclap:

NOT; players in all sports transcend the game/team (jordan, kobe, magic, montana, manning) and its not favre's fault that he's been elevated to demi-god status. it always amazes me when i hear folk complain about celebs exposure or notoriety. some have that appeal and with favre ive never viewed it as concocted by favre or a burden like patler. some past and present players crave spotlight and are irritating (TO, Chad) whereas lord is still refreshing to me

folk should get over it; he's simply an icon. funny thing to me is u would think he's earned the praise/spotlight/exposure considering ALL he's done for the pack and nfl in general.

i didnt mind jordan getn so much exposure and i didnt care if my peeps in the hood thought larry joe bird was a media made great white hope (he was gettn it done PERIOD and its ENTERTAINMENT)

incredible that people treat him like he's benedict arnold or pat riley faxing his resignation to my beloved knickerbockers

father, son, holy spirit, apostle paul, favre....

OMG, as i pressed submit for this post and turned the channel lord favre's wrangler commercial was on. yippee...btw, havent u favre bashers ever heard that he has turned down PLENTY marketing gigs (unlike manning)? yet he's starvn for attn??? incredible....

I don't care that he called Romo. I don't care that he didn't call Rodgers. As I posted earlier, there were differences in the situations of each, Rodgers immediately looking like he would play if he could and Romo immediately declared out for four weeks.

I think the fact that Favre found it necessary to tell a reporter about his conversation with Romo proves yet again just how deeply he craves media attention. Of course we all knew that from the 5 year fiasco of his retirement decisions, which I criticized for several years while he was still a Packer.

Very nicely said Mobb,I hear you when you say that Favre hasn't asked for all the attention, his biggest problem is being brutally honest and rambling when asked questions.

Also to not like a player when he gets the spotlight is like hating your favorite band when they hit it big. If thats the case better get ready to start hating on Jennings-that media whore has done like 4 interveiws in the last week! :shock:

So gex, in your imagination the conversation went:

Reporter: "Well Brett, thank you for the time. Have you talked to any other NFL starting QBs lately?"

Favre: "Funny you should mention that Bob, I was just exchanging text messages with Romo and ..."

? :?: Really? It wasn't Brett bringing it up, but it was a reporter who just happened to ask the magic question? Funny, how life works sometimes.

And for MOOB, turning down commercials is turning down money. This may be admirable in its own right, but it isn't the same as refusing to court media attention. Manning gets grief from all the selling he is doing. That kind of attention doesn't help, but it does pay. Brett gets in the papers not just for his play in the game, but also for his ability to be in the middle of a good story.

For just a second, think of all the times a Favre story has appeared and you have said to yourself "boy the media really loves to stir things up". Then remember, in the clear majority of the cases (in my estimation) it has been Favre who initiated the discussion of a topic that wasn't being discussed currently.

Most call this his honesty. I see it as something far smarter and calculated.

What delusional world do you live in. You honestly think Favre starts these conversations, as tex says its the got-damned media stir the pot :roll:

[Joemailman]

Favre meant to call Rodgers this week, but his phone call with the Colts ran longer than expected.

[GBRulz]

Maybe the packers limited his cell minutes! :lol:

[th87]

Didn't you complain about all the Favre threads?? So now you make one that is extra petty and sad especially coming from you TH. Have you thought maybe Favre wants nothing to do with the Packers right now? So how do you think it would have went over if he had called ARod and told him to quit being a wuss and suck it up (pretty much what he told Romo)?? I think you would be crying about how he needed to mind his own business.

As for them not saying hi at the ESPYs, maybe they did, maybe they didnt but if not that means Rodgers also made no attempt either. Based on what was going on at the time I can understand. Saying Favre has beef with Rodgers cause they dont talk is lame.

1. No, I never complained about all the Favre threads. Don't make shit up.

http://www.packerrats.com/ratchat/search.php?search_id=1907353343&start=0

Look through here and try to find any evidence of that.

2. I've tried to be impartial about this situation. The afore-linked posting history can attest to that.

3. Saying they have beef and wondering if they could have beef are two different things.

4. Weren't you the one who wrote an article disappointed that Rodgers didn't say hi to you? So why can't I find this disappointing?



MTP, were you going to retract your false accusations, or what?

[Scott Campbell]

incredible that people treat him like he's benedict arnold ........



Still so incredible after the Glazer report?

[Pugger]

I heard last night that it was ROMO who called Favre, not the other way around. :shock:

[Harlan Huckleby]

I heard last night that it was ROMO who called Favre, not the other way around. :shock:


:lol: Our conversations here are roughly equivalent to chat rooms for teenage girls.

Not that I would have any direct knowledge of that scene.

Dammit, you mean everybody has been lighting him up in this thread for nothing :lol:

Ah, minor detail anyways.

That's just semantics

Onward.

MTP, were you going to retract your false accusations, or what?What? That is a link to a search that found nothing but I aint retracting nada I said. If you say you didnt than I believe you but I was thinking you had. I have been gone this weekend or I would have responded sooner.

I didnt complain about him not saying hi to me, I was referring to the fact he didnt acknowledge or say hi to anyone when people where cheering him even after the shitty preseason game. He wanted to cry nationally on JSO about a 6 year old cussing at him but I saw several lil guys cheering that did not get his attention. That is why I meant.
