Wait til Woody gets wind of this. He's three years late, but this has been his contention since T2 failed to sign and resign the first batch of FAs. And Sharper's release.

During the same conference call on Tuesday, neither Thompson nor McCarthy were openly receptive or enthused ...............

.......the bastards.

Is there still a chance Favre is a Packer come September?

Of course. Green Bay has no requirement to either cut him or trade him.

Thanks Favre. What a I dont even want to say it. Thanks for asking for a release and not wanting to stay with the team that made you. Im just disgusted....

I think Favre is absolutely correct. If Thompson is going to claim that the Favre era in Green Bay is over and that the team is moving on with Rodgers, then they should release Favre and let him do what he wants.

Where is Tex when you need him.

"The god damned media is making this up"

"it's a bunch of disloyal assholes stirring up things to hurt the Packers"

Actually, I could write for an hour but you get the gist.

My money is on a warm weather or, failing that, a dome team to avoid the Bears/Giants disappointments. Regardless of his remaining skill level, one thing about Favre has become mortal and that is his ability to withstand playing in near zero temps and windchills.

F that. We should have the flip flopping great QB BACK as a Packer! Son of a... I hope they can atleast keep him away from the division...

I think he did ask to play for the team They told him no thanks. Then he aked for his outright release. At least that is what is being contended here.

Tex walked straight into that hole of his own free will. But he will dig out by throwing dirt on Thompson.

Then TT needs to be run out on a rail. Favre still has it we all know that...eek! This sucks I had moved on from the great one now he comes back! Its like that highschool relationship that wont end!

[The Leaper]

My money is on the Vikings...Favre wants to stick it to Thompson, and he will get no better chance than opening night.

[GoPackGo]

There's no way that team managment has burned the bridge down with the greatest QB to ever wear a Packer Uniform. There's time to fix this mistake.

Unless they can trade him for something, and control where he ends up. Yeah, yeah, I know - he's the Favre. But it's still a business.
