Re: favre
The only evidence that TT didn't want Favre back is that supposedly he did not do enough to try to convince Favre to come back. Did TT fire Favre? Did he ask him not to come back? Did he try to trade him? Nope. If more comes out, then I will re-evaluate my position. But for now:
First TT doesn't strike me as a very charismatic guy. This can be interpreted by people the wrong way. By the same token, talking with Favre may have done more damage than good.
Second, TT is a guy who came in at the end of Favre's career and doesn't deal with him on a daily basis. MM has known Favre for a long time and talks with him daily. MM has gone on record as saying he tried to talk Favre into coming back. What are the odds that MM would do so if his boss didn't want him to?
Finally, why the hell should Favre's decision to come back be based on whether the GM is beating down his door? If that is the main factor in his retirement, Favre has no one to blame but himself.
