Why do I get the feeling SC's file is as thick as Woodbuck's?

Jets' Favre says Green Bay told him he couldn't be a Packer

Associated Press
a) " Favre couldn't say the same of his choice to walk away from the game a few weeks after losing the NFC championship game against the New York Giants.
"I knew I wanted to play," the 38-year-old quarterback said. "Everyday I would wake up and say, 'Boy, I'd like to play.' At some point in the day, I'd go, 'Ahh, I don't know.' With each day that passed, I got more and more committed to do it, and that was all I was looking for from Day 1.
"As time passed by, I said, 'You know, I've still got the fire.'" ..." FR, LINK
b) " During the weeks leading to his retirement, Favre said Packers coach Mike McCarthy told him that the team wanted to know what his plans were for this season. Favre had waffled between playing and retiring several times during the previous few offseasons.
"The day I told McCarthy I was going to retire, he said, 'Are you sure?'" Favre recalled. "I said, 'No, I'm not sure, but you want an answer and I'm giving you an answer: I'm not sure.'"
Favre told McCarthy he felt a pull to play but, after 17 seasons, wasn't sure he still had the desire to go through minicamp, OTAs, training camp and other workouts." Fr, LINK
c) "Favre said he spoke to Packers' general manager Ted Thompson only once during the process, the day after the NFL draft in April.
"I always liked Ted and I don't want to say I dislike him now," he said. "I'm disappointed."
Thompson flew to Favre's Mississippi home, and the quarterback thought the general manager was there to ask him to come back. Instead, Thompson told him that the team was going to do something special for him: dismantle his locker and send it to him.
"That was the craziest thing I ever heard of," Favre said.
"What the hell am I going to do with a locker anyway? So, I said, 'OK, Ted, that's great.'"
Thompson left shortly after the conversation, but not before Favre told him he might have reservations about retiring. "
Ohh well Brett... look at it on the bright side even as crazy as it was.
At least you were offered a locker. That's a lot more that some people ever get following a divorce.
PACKERS !
