    What other team does Favre want to play for??

    If he just wanted out I think he works out a trade but he is insisting to be released. The way things are going I think he wants to go to minnesota for all the obvious reason.

    I could imagine Buccaneers a good landing spot - similar offense - close to home - Gruden.

    Why isn't there an option for the packers? I have no doubt while watching his interview that is the team he wants to be with.

    That is the title of your poll at least...who does Favre WANT to play for.

    I sure got the tone that he is done in GB.

    If McCarthy told him they've moved on, I am just assuming they wanted to be done with this vacillating that has been going on the past few years, plus they thought A-Rod needed to start.

    This is kinda in response to tonight's interview. The situation has changed now.

    He wants to play in Green Bay
    They do not want him in GB

    My guess is he'd now like the opportunity to compete vs. GB so I'd say MN or TB
    LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?

    Maybe now, but it certainly wasn't true at one time. He put himself in this position and really only has himself to blame.

    When in doubt, continue to play; if he didn't want to play come August announce it then and retire.

    They aren't taking him over Brees, but they might over Delhomme. The Carolina rumors have been around for a while.

    The LA papers had Cook shopping him the month after his retirement. I assumed since it was LA that meant Cardinals, 49ers, or Rams (old LA team). Can't see the Cardinals. Maybe 49ers or Rams?
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    It's clear Favre wants to play
    I just hope he does with somebody

    John Clayton reports that there is ZERO interest in Favre in the AFC.

    I have a hunch that Favre is going to ride the Packers roster this fall, maybe as a starter, because the PAckers have no good options.

    Of course he wants to remain in Green Bay. I felt his last game as a Packer was the Giants game. There was a lot more going on in that game and in preparation for that game then we'll ever learn. Something was bothering Brett Favre.

    I otherwise havn't a clue what other team he's suit up with as it's getting late and so close to TC and he always said he didn't want to try to learn another system.

    I pray he retires.

    I think Favre wants to play for the Packers but he's more than ready to move on.

    I think he wants to play in the NFC - I think it's still the easiest way to a SB. Vikings must be his wish then; to stick it to TT/MM? All speculation though and I have a hard time believing Favre will be a Viking.

    Bucs and Panthers are obvious choices but are Panthers contenders? Ravens and Dolphins are long shots.

    ITs impossible to believe that Favre will be a Viking becuase TT won't release him for that very reason.

    That's not unrealistic given Favre's ''don't get in my face'' way Mad. Yet doesn't that seem a little too Hollywood?

    Good Golly Miss Molly. Wouldn't the media eat that up. HIGH DRAMA indeed.

    He clearly wants to go to Minnesota. He wants to prove Thompson wrong, and you can't really blame him for that.

    I just found this tid-bit:


    ESPN's John Clayton says Packers GM Ted Thompson won't trade Brett Favre to an NFC team.
    That would severely limit Thompson's options, as the five best fits may all be in his conference. The St. Petersburg Times also reports that Tampa isn't high on Favre's list because it's "too hot." Which seems odd. With the Jets and Ravens indicating they don't have interest, it's hard to find a fit in the AFC. Jul. 15 - 10:02 am et

    I agree with Clayton. Thompson isn't going to trade Favre to an NFC team...but that is really the only place where a trade makes any sense.

    So, Thompson will not deal Favre...because he won't get anything of value for him and he will forever be branded in Green Bay as the guy who traded Favre for peanuts.

    The Packers have put all their chips on the notion that Favre will not want to come to camp and will remain retired. If that doesn't happen...Thompson will risk destroying the locker room and the team because of his stubbornness.

    Neither side seems willing to do what it takes to fix this mess. What a disaster.
