Peter King SI expects Favre to unretire within 10 days

[retailguy]

........then what I'd want from Favre is a 2 year commitment, ........

Man, fat chance that'll happen. If we bring back Favre there are no guarantees that we won't be subjected to the same crap next summer. It's probably worth it - even though it's annoying.

Agree, but thats one reason I'd WANT it, because this drama shit has got to end.

Oh, and the evil thought I just had.....

Suppose for instance that Favre really does dislike Thompson and the current Packers organization. (Disclaimer - I HAVE NO IDEA that this is true, but lets just speculate for a moment, OK?)

Now, suppose that all along what he really wants is OUT of GB and resuming his career somewhere other than GB. Seems to me that his best "odds" of getting out of his contract are to retire in March, and then wait for Rodgers to be annointed the "heir apparent", and then, in July, start talking about a comeback in hopes of just getting released...

Hmm. It would suck if this were the case, but sadly, it's plausible.

And Scott - NO comeback without a 2 year commitment. If not, well, Rodgers needs a good solid backup. He could fill the role Culpepper turned down better than Culpepper could. Although it'd be a bit more expensive. :P

That's exactly what I meant in the Bus Cook thread.

We have a Bus Cook thread? How'd I miss that?

Scary thought. I just can't see it though.

Hopefully, you're right. However, you must admit, it's a lot more plausible than some of the crap being spewed out there in the media. In here too, you know?

BTW - Isn't it about time for my good buddy SOV to weigh in on this with a Nascar bookmobile thread?

This one is ripe for his sense of humor.... How about a purple bookmobile?

But why would anyone want to leave a team that is A) extremely popular, B) Phenomenal talent as a team, C) Great personal gain from the surrounding talent helping you put up big numbers, etc.

Could feel slighted - grass is always greener mentality.

because he "dislikes" the management? How many people do you know who hate their job because they hate the authority above them?

That's one theory, I'm sure there are others...

lol - good one. :P

I wouldn't want to deal with this crap that Ted has. He loses in almost every decision he makes....

And who said personality wasn't important? His aloof nature is kicking his ass right now. People don't feel like they "know" him, so they don't know whether or not they like him. Except for his groupie Justin...

Re: QB's

Good one!

Believe me LL2...you don't really want it to go away.

Try being a fan of a team that hasn't had a QB worth a damn in the last 20 years. Try being the fan of a team that is the laughingstock of the league.

I'll take 50 years of "what-ifs" from Favre over 1 day as an Arizona Cardinals fan.

The one common thread the Favre haters have is that the great majority of them are young enough to have not lived through the hell of the 70's and 80's. They have been spoiled by the "Favre" years and have no clue what it was like to be the laughing stock of the NFL for 20 freakin years.

Each and every one of the Favre bashers can:

KISS MY MOTHERFUCKING ASS!


I'm done with the stupidity here. See ya when training camp starts.......

(Oh and I'll try not to let the door hit me on the way out)

I hate to break it to you, but there are those that want Favre to go away(like me) that have been through and know very clearly what it was like in the 20 years before. You argument is a tired one and also BS. Just becuase the Packers sucked at QB for the previous 20 years doesn't give Brett a free pass for acting like an attention starved 12 year old drama queen. I cheer for the GREEN BAY PACKERS. Nowhere in that name is the words "Brett Favre". He needs to STFU and go away.

Well, Aaron Rodgers told all of us to STFU and go away...so I can see why you have fallen in love with him.

I've told quite a few people here that, but they still love me. Its a thick skinned group.

I don't care what Aaron Rodgers said to the fans i.e. me. ALso, Im not sold on Rodgers but am willing to give him a chance. This has nothing to do with him. THe Packers could have Peter Tom WIllis or Blair Kiel back there, still doesn't change the fact that I just want Favre to STFU and go away.
