FAVRE TO RETIRE

[MadtownPacker]

All these consipiricy theories just crack me up. What a crock of shit.


Now does someone know something and that's why the content was promoted? Again, who knows. Favre said he'd make up his mind soon when the season ended. McCarthy says a couple weeks ago, soon. Well? Make a decision already!

Talkin all that shit and then you stoop to the same level.

Admit, you got a hard on when you saw this thread and now youre pissed it's not true.

LOL.....Mad, either it got promoted accidently or it prematurely. All this silly assed hacker bullshit is what I'm ridiculing. No I didn't get a hard on but I did sort of smile.

I think what the dude from packers.com said is actually right. They've done stuff like this before and they would have gathered stuff ahead of time and prepared for either scenario. To not do so would be shoddy journalism. When you know the story's coming, you prepare for it and since this story involves a decision, you prepare for whichever way the decision might go. Otherwise you're scrambling for information and your competition just scooped you. Remember the last couple years, Favre did NOT tell packers.com first. He told the guy from his local rag that he'd made a choice first.

I agree, this was just something on standby so when the call is made.

Yeah, I knew it made you happy. Did fireworks and the horn start going off in the Dome?

No, but maybe soon......eh?

T.T. should be fired... IT IS ALL HIS FAULT!!! HE IS THE ONE WHO PUT THAT THING ON THE WEBSITE TO GIVE EVERYONE A HEART ATTACK!!! FIRE T.T. he is ruining the team and running Favre out of town!!!

Ok... sorry , Ive been missing those type of posts lately

Cook told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that Favre, in his annual rite of winter, had not made up his mind whether to return for his 18th season. The three-time MVP's decision one way or the other is not expected this week.

Axe this damn thread! Or risk being sued for giving someone a heart attack !

If that is the way they develop...they are, to be kind, way behind.

Which is why you won't hear anything conclusive on this.

The Packers.com staff looks pretty dumb either way. Either they are too dumb to allow someone to plant this fake page, or they are too dumb to handle a development project properly.

True dat.

I've never EVER heard of placing a developmental page on a live server (well, i've seen it done..but, you would really hide it...i remember taking over a job and finding that the previous guy had his fantasy stuff hidden on the server for his buddies..LOL). Geez, i'm sure they got a spare dell lying around that they can call the developmental server.

Something smells.

Maybe no one in IT would do it, but someone in page design might. How easy would it be to have it on the server and when the story came in, dump it in and turn it on. Maybe they are using software that automatically publishes instead of the user having to turn it on manually? And they did do a page quite similar to this one last year if you recall and occasionally do it when they have a feature they expect to generate a lot of traffic or something they are really looking to publicize--contests and events announcements. I'm willing to believe that the person who does design for them had the page around and moved both pages onto the server to turn on whichever one they needed when an announcement was made because we know one IS coming. Sooner or later.

Page design? You mean the graphic artist? I've been around enough companies that you never do that. You design on the test server then move it.

And, if the person was designing the page..why does it have specific dates on it? That would indicate that the story was going live.


No way does a company that has a director of IT let this happen the way you suggest. The website falls under PR, but i guarantee that the IT department doesn't let a bunch of PR "losers" fool around on the servers. That is why their is an internet coordinator...some person that has to do the website and work with IT.

This isn't rocket science. There would be no need to push a page on the live server..what?..you save 15 seconds? Makes no sense.

And, if we know it is sooner or later...don't you think this page was in development last year?

The whole thing stinks.

The whole thing stinks.

.....and someone should be FIRED!!

Where you been? We've all been worried the attack may have already happened.

JS says in Silverstein's article that it was a 3rd party that does the work.

That is even more atrocious. You have a consultant doing the work and you give them access to the server.

In the middle of MN, actually ! For entertainment, I go ice shack hopping.

It was just a couple years ago that one of the major news services accidentally released a report that some famous person died (I don't remember who). They said the same thing. The were just updating canned stories they keep to get out quickly if and when it happened. They said they had hundreds of them, and one was revised and accidentally posted to the wrong location.
