Arod shuts door on Favre

[Tarlam!]

And back to my disciplined comment: Are you suggesting Favre's last season was not greatly influenced by his coaches? Are you suggesting he played as though Sherman was on the sidelines?

[woodbuck27]

I'm just curious, for those that think he was too cocky or said something wrong about Brett, what exactly was he supposed to say? "Damn I wish he'd come back and take my job?"

I could care less about what he said; but to answer your question when asked about what would occur if Favre wanted to return the correct answer is "I'll leave that up to the GM since that is out of my control".

No question he messed up on that Favre and his possible future with Packers? His response made him seem 'an insider', and Favre never had a real feel for management and moves to suit his perspctive (hopes).

His response was tactless and just might 'fire up' Brett Favre.

I keep feeling a chance for Favre to play this season (Vikings anyone?) and if I was AR. I wouldn't have gone where he did. Not smart.

TT would let favre come back and sit on the bench for 12 million a year before he ever let the vikings have his rights.....especially at this point when a veteran QB would make them dangerous.

The words. Brett Favre (3 time NFL MVP and future HOFer) and benched... will never be reported in the same sentence.

[MJZiggy]

That's true. He retired.

Such 'a smart ass' response.

to 'the insider'.

Good enough... even for you mj.... no I don't give 'a damn'.

Really Favre goes even higher than Thompson and McCarthy. If Mark Murphy wants Favre back on this team, he is going to get Favre on this team. With the Owners dumping the current deal with the players and looking at an uncapped year in 2010 the Packers are going to need as much revenue as they can muster and that would mean if Favre came back, he would need to come back in the Green and Gold. If Murphy has any idea what is good long term for this franchise he would make sure that if Brett Favre came back to football he would be running the offense in Green Bay.

YOu really think one more year of FAvre is going to be the magical financial savior for the Packers? Your thinking is pretty dilluted with jock sniffing man love, Nutz. And no, Murphy won't step in. It's Thompson's show.

HEY!

The bottom line we were 13-3 in the regular season and certainly, Brett Favre did all he could to allow us to enjoy that.He was our QB.

PACKERS FOREVER.

that wasn't the point, the point was we will NEVER EVER EVER give his rights to a division rival....we'll hand him 12 million to sit and jerk off before we do that.

Re: Favre

I thought he did a great job as well.

However, I have a theory that the Packers are/were ready to move on before Favre really was. I've pieced things together from all of the reports after Favre retired and Chris Havel on the radio. From everything I understand, the Packers gave Favre a date and told him he had to have an answer. On that date, Favre said he had to retire because he wasn't ready to fully commit to football for another year. From what I understand, the Packers hung up the phone immediately and announced it to the world. They set an early time for a press conference and it was over before Favre even realized he couldn't pull his little diva tricks on the new regime. This was the time when Favre's agent was pissed off and said they really didn't want him back.

Rodgers saying the team is moving on whether Favre wants to come back or not seems to fit well into the big picture. I don't think Favre was really ready to retire (Havel has hinted to this many times on the radio), I just think he wanted to play little diva tricks to get an offseason off and he ended up getting shoved out the door by a regime that doesn't stand for the whole diva act.

Gee, I guess all those years of playing through the pain and all the sacrifice never earned him the right to make up his mind about wanting to go through it again right? Favre did more for this organization than anyone and for a punk like you to call him names really speaks of how in-mature you really are.

Before, I'd just always write off the supid shit you post to being in-mature. But everyone grows up at some point and this will be a much better forum the day you grow up.


Note to Mad: This forum would be a whole lot better if you install an IGNORE feature. I came here because there were way to many idiots on the Journal's site, but JH makes them look like genious's!

All those years of playing in pain and giving his all earned him MILLIONS of dollars...nothing more. You never have a right to anything more than the check. He has the right to pick up that check again...ie. decide on retirement, but he doesn't have the right to drag out the decision til the day before the season starts. I always said favre owed nothing to the regime other than the required services outlined in his contract, and that includes MANDATORY OTA's, and TC, nothing more, on the flip side we owed him nothing more than his salary.

Re: Favre

It's not as though he wasn't compensated handsomely for his "sacrifice". I am not taking anything away from Brett Favre. He is the best thing to have happen to the post Lombardi franchise.

Football is a team sport.

Are you inferring that Brett Favre had no 'let's go team' attitude in him?

We'll see. The question I ask myself is:

" Does Favre really desire a SB?... and screw 'the dramatics'.

To me it's really sad that people don't respect the loyalty, the "giving it his all" and the man that became the "face" of the Packers for so many years. Excuse my language, but fuck that paycheck bullshit. Anyone that watched Favre throughout his career and watched his retirement press conference KNOWS his career/play was more then a paycheck. So what? The guy had a tough time deciding to retire. All the bullshit about him loving the drama is just that...bullshit. The guy had a tough time deciding to retire, period. Packer fans should be glad he poured enough of his soul into the game for the retirement subject to be a tough decision.
