Why not let Brett attend his daughters graduation? This should be no big deal.
How about Brett does both . Mincamp this weekend and Graduation next weekend. All is good in Favre land.

Unless you propose a rule for Favre and one for everyone else....that goes over really well in the locker room most of the time.
Moot point anyway, he got the message and will be there.
Right, I have been a huge Favre fan and he proved me wrong by playing damn good last year with what he had. I started to give up on him after the 29 picks but I think Shermans attitude contributed. Sherman was so pissed and unreasonable that the whole team seemed to take on his "what the fuck ever" attitude. Regardless, he's been a great player and he's still a damn good one at footballs most important position. That doesn't give him the right to now show up and send the message to his teammates that he's above them and isn't held to the same rules.Quote:

I saw nothing that indicated the "whole team seemed to take on his "what the fuck ever" attitude.", and I don't think very many other people will recall seeing that either.
Isn't the graduation one week after the minicamp? All this Brett stuff tires me out. Can't wait for some football news.
What's funny is that somebody either leaked or made up something about Favre requesting a trade? If that news hadn't come out, this story would be a lot different. It would have been Brett just being frustrated with not getting Moss. Kind of silly. Now, it's this huge story where every national media member feels obligated to blast the NFL's former golden child. I agree that Favre's comments were best left unsaid, but really didn't have a huge problem with it. I often felt that way about comments he's made.
:D
Sherman just sort of stood there like "whatever" every time Favre threw and INT. At least McCArthy tells him that it was stupid.
I just think Sherman did a horrible job with Brett during that last year and something about his attitude was just off. I think I mgiht be getting this because I heard Harlan on 107.5 and he said Sherman was unbearable at the end. I think that influenced me and as he was saying that, I was picturing Sherman all pissed off through the season.
I had enough of Sherman the moment he said he wasn't going to anything about Brett throwing a lot of picks.Quote:

Harvey, I agree that no leak would have meant no trade me story, but how would the mini-camp story have played?
Do you think Favre would have looked better if the storyline had been "Favre Mad No Moss" followed by "Favre Will Not Attend Manadatory Minicamp"?
If anything, and this is just speculation on my part, I think the mini-camp no show announcement makes it likelier that the "trade me" story came from Favre's camp. He's clearly throwing his weight around.
I understand his concerns, I share them. But unlike earlier years, the reservoir of good will among the media is clearly lower for Favre than it used to be. He is also a 17 year vet and half a generation of writers know Favre more for his struggles than for his incandescent success.

Sadly, Favre has reduced himself to a mirror image of Dan Marino in his last days: a whining, egotistical jerk.Quote:

Also, why shouldn't Favre expect special treatment. He has had special treatment for some time. And in the past he hasn't always attended mini-camps.
In any case, the friction/media reports is/are not good for the team. But just maybe we need to stir things up a little to get everyone fired up to win some games.
I think the weekend before is the prom and Favre really wanted to go. I guess he arranged the music for the dance on his iPod and wanted to be there to see it all happen.Quote:

There is nonone on this forum more criticle of TT but we are now in the. . .
This is where we're at stage and let's just try to do the best we can with what we have
Maybe 'just maybe' Ted Thompson will see the light yet and give Favre and our 'O' and us more?
Is this all over with? I don't like where it leaves us as Packer fans.
Is there a need for more damage control. I hope that Ted Thompson feels the need to get there. We need more experienced help for our offenseto be competitive in 2007.
I'm now going to look for the thread that guerski started on tuesday.
GO PACKERS !
I'm disturbed that virtually everyone wanted to get Moss.Quote:

The deep threat that he would have provided would have spread the opositions defense as well, and opened it up more for Donald Driver.
We are aware that Greg Jennings welcomed the acqisition of Moss as well. With those three as Favre targets we had some hope if our running game sputters as it has the past two seasons.
Can't you see the potential with those three lining up on the line and allowing Greg Jennings to develop as our slot receiver and under the tutelage of Driver and Moss?
Ted Thompson had to bring all that potential to Green Bay not allow the Pats to swoop Randy Moss away.
I didn't want Moss. He's a dickweed.Quote:

Just my opinion, you stupid dickweeds.
