Fresh drama and Favre doesn't excite my tastes.
It's alot like I imagine eating a tough steak with no teeth.

I think I would give Woodbucks left testicle to have an audio recording of that marathon session. I know I would give Woody's right nut to hear the part when TT was is the room.
Did I sign a waiver for you to give my balls away?
If I did I 'officially' want to reneg on that offer....K!?

Comment woodbuck27:
I hope this gets done or Favre's jersey retired sometime this season.
PACKERS !
I tried to post a LINK that didn't work.
The Sunday, Monday and Tuesday summaries I posted were simply copied and pasted from a longer chronology that was printed in the GBPG:
http://www.greenbaypressgazette.com/...range-5-months
Similar chronologies were printed by Yahoo Sports, JSO, NBC Sports and elsewhere.
Most of my information comes from JSO and the GBPG.
Of course not. It could be he simply couldn't make it.
But since retirement, Brett has done interviews with local reporters in his hometown, Dallas and Minneapolis. He has appeared on National TV for interviews and game coverage. He has not made any local appearances that I am aware of. And we know he has turned down an invitation to Holmgren's HOF induction. He has been everywhere except Green Bay.
woodbuck your posts seems to indicate you think the process will move forward when the Packers contact Brett to begin setting dates. My read of the above is that Brett is not yet interested in setting a date. He doesn't seem interested in setting foot in Wisconsin. The Packers cannot provide this information publicly because it would look like poisoning fan sentiment against Favre.
But if you were the Packer's social secretary, would you send a person exhibiting this behavior an invitation to an event in their honor? I tend to doubt it. You would first want to be sure a date would work. And so far, Brett has been unavailable for Wisconsin.
Brett Favre has roots in the emigrant culture of Acadia, so the Canadian connection makes sense when one looks at his rare mix of talent and aberrant behavior. In an alternate timeline he could have screwed up his legacy as a very good hockey player.
Regarding Holmgren's Packer HOF induction. perhaps Favre was otherwise engaged and couldn't make it, but if that were the case it would have been the normal thing to make the conflict known. It would seem that Holmgren should have a special place with Favre, as there is probably no one more responsible for Favre becoming the QB he did than Holmgren was. I would have expected Favre to want to be there, and if he couldn't to offer a reason why (I do allow for the fact that it could have been a private reason).
Not conclusive in and of itself, or even close to it, but another tidbit of information contributing to my perception of the situation.
Once Ted is dead, Favre will be ready. Unless he dies first.
Like most human folly, this will be corrected when someone (whose initials are Brent Favre) has a brush with death or sees someone very close to him dying. Then all our grudges, our pride, our anger - is seen for what it is - human foolishness - and Favre will make overtures.
This is my prediction.
That could very well be. But these things can be minimized. Or avoided entirely if he had poked his head up long enough for the initial media crush to dissipate before the event.
Its the fact that the process has not even begun makes me think he isn't ready for it to conclude.
That could have been handled ahead of time with the media, and by Favre at the time he was there. Come in quietly through a back door, unannounced, etc. directly to his table. Leave slightly ahead of time. Meet the media off-site, if at all, etc.
Besides, Holmgren might have even enjoyed being the unifying factor between GB and Favre.
It's going to be a while. Maybe Bart Starr could help here, since he's the link between Favre adn Rodgers, both of them publicly having said Starr is the best ever, a class act, all of that.
But then again, it's less about Rodgers and Favre than it is about Favre and Thompson/McCarthy. Who could bridge that gap? Ron Wolf? Henry Kissinger?
Bring in the expert

I vote for Jenn Sterger. She knows all about gaps and could get Brett and Tom to come together. :shock:

Could we fake Ted's death and pretend like its over for him like Agent Coulson in the Avengers movie?
Then resurrect Ted in time for the 2014 draft like Coulson is coming back for the SHIELD TV show?
