Peter King SI expects Favre to unretire within 10 days

Favre

Uh Peter, if Rodgers can't deal with Favre coming back, BB will be waiting in the wings. Rodger's "feelings" are the least of my concerns at the moment.........

I agree. I may feel sorry for Aaron's current situation, but in terms of putting the best team on the field in 2008 there is no doubt in my mind who I want the starting QB to be. However, I would like Aaron's role to be expanded even if Favre does return...because I feel it is best for the team, not Rodgers specifically.

I wish all this Favre un-retiring crap would just go away. Why doesn't Favre just go live on Sportscenter and say if he's playing or not. If he wants to un-retire he really put the Packers in a bad position. I wouldn't want to be M3 or TT right now. Favre is getting annoying and is being a media whore for stirring this shit up!

lets assume he wants to play, that seems likely. What's he supposed to do, have a press conference and announce he's available to date again? What if nobody calls? How humiliating. He is probably working behind the scenes to find a team. Anybody would do the same.

Hell, I feel sorry for him also, but like you I just wanna win and win now. I think when it's all said and done that BB will end up being a better NFL QB anyway-just a hunch.

Yep, the last thing Favre can do is go public now without anything settled in GB.

Why? Is it causing your personal income to decrease? Is it causing physical harm to your body? Is it injuring someone you love?

People act like this Favre deal is akin to watching someone torture a loved one. Get over yourself...if you don't like it, stop reading about it and stop visiting this website and it will all "just go away".

See how fucking easy that was?

Wow. Pay the receptionist on your way out.

Thank you Dr. Leaper.

That's OK...no need to pay me.

I'm a volunteer worker, which is what allows me to berate some of you jackasses properly. If I had to stay within the context of some kind of legal arrangement, I'd be screwed.

RG, I've forgotten where you stand on the worship/despise TT continuum, but you raise a really good point.

Ted? Well, I'm not a fan. However, I must say that I do respect the job he's done in the last year. He's amassed some good talent, and I was looking forward to seeing if that translated to success without a HOF QB. I truly didn't know what would happen under those circumstances.

Now, I'm hopelessly confused as to who starts in training camp, much less on opening day.

If, as all speculation and unnamed sources now indicate, Brett is hell-bent on unretiring it may truly mean that TT and MM through actions and lack of communication created an unstable situation with Brett. Such a thing is entirely possible.

I think it may be simpler than this. It's also plausible that Ted & Mike "assumed" that he'd come back, and therefore, no coddling or prodding was necessary.

Then when he didn't decide to come back, they moved on...

It could be that simple.

It is also possible that Brett is the source of the poor communication and poor decision-making that has led to this craziness.

Brett is definitely guilty of indecisiveness and worse, failure to stop speculation 5 years ago, by stating definitively that he was going to continue for "x years", or even "indefinitely".

Brett is way too willing to talk about how he "feels". Unfortunately for all of us, how we feel changes frequently. Feelings aren't something to base important life changing decisions upon. I'm sure Brett is figuring that one out now. He should have figured that out 5 years ago, but I guess the next best time is today.

If he can come back and play and everyone is fine with that then I'm fine with that.

I just don't think it's gonna be that easy.

If I were Aaron Rodgers there would be NOTHING anyone could say to ease the pain of this.

It won't be that easy...

Re: Peter King SI expects Favre to unretire within 10 days

Final point: I keep hearing Favre was pushed into retirement by the Packers demanding an early decision this off-season, or by Thompson not showing him enough love. He might feel that way, but I think it's nonsense.

Well, I guess I'm not completely alone for thinking this.

You are definetly not the only person who thinks this.

I thought this was a good article. I think it fairly describes the situation the team is in.

Good one!

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)
