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.

Agreed

I don't know what Favre, or his family, expected TT and MM to do.

Re: Favre

A man's Momma will always take up for him even when he is wrong.

I don't know about your mom, but if my mom starts messing in my business, her future at the Happy Trails Gated Retirement Community would be replaced with the ACME Discount Nursing home operated out of a trailer park in Fresno.

Isn't the ACME Nursing home in Fresno owned by Madtown?

[texaspackerbacker]

I'm going with the idea that if Favre tells the Sun Herald there's nothing to it, that he'd prefer we shut up about it, so that seems like a reasonable thing to do.

EXCELLENT idea! Now if we could just get the God damned media assholes to do the same ........

Re: Favre

I also find Bonita Favre's comments about Thompson very disturbing. If it's indeed true that Thompson made Fave feel un-wanted.......

What did Bonita say?

I'd find it a little disturbing if Favre's mommy is getting involved. What a circus. Thompson being responsible for Favre feeling unwanted feeds right into the whole prima donna rumblings. I don't want to see people (metaphorically) put a dress on Brett. This is a football player were talking about for christ sakes, not Celine Dion.

Hey Scott ever had 'a Mother' ?

answer... yes

Then ask yourself Scott, With all we are reading of reports on this 'rumor' the past two days, and prior to that 'the facts' in our face. Well you shoud know. Your here enough..

Are you sincerely and really shocked on the plausabilty and possibility that ' Brett Favre's' MOTHER could be anoid ? Then that some media may have taken 'at least' a sound bite where she acted like 'a Mother' and expressed that specific annoyance ?

I could lead you down 'the garden path' here Scott.

Shut your pork colored mouth. Mama deserves better then that for bringing you into this world.

I guess I can understand your lack of compassion. Your Dad, Bring'em Young III probably had 10 Wife-sisters and you lost track of which one you came from.

Not the whole facility. Just the bedpan concession.

It's because Mexes know how to keep family together and stack 30 people into a 3 bedroom house.

That's kind of personal Woody, but yeah, I've had a few MILF's in my younger days. Why?

This is what Bonita said. From Mort's article on Espn.com:

"He's felt like that for the last couple of years, that the Packers didn't really want him back," Bonita Favre told WITI. "But nothing's been said. You know it's just been bits and pieces throughout the last couple of years, things that would come up, and it just didn't seem like they went out of their way to keep him. It was kind of like, 'You're done"
