The "Reneg"

Re: The "Reneg"

On the other hand I find it interesting that Fox has been the only source even admitting that such a thing occured. Other than that it just names sources and every paper seems to use that mojo.

Excellent point Tex!



*blatently stolen from Harlan*

Consistently the same message was being sent over and over regarding what was ahead for us with the Favre situation. With this story we have one person carrying it . It's probably true; but if it's made up and leaked that move would be absolutely brilliant.

Really? I think it'd be kind of shitty.

So if Brett is mad about something,

What could it be??

I think that the Packer organization finally got tired of having the team's welfare consistently take a backseat to Favre's diva act - to their credit.
The annual "Will I play?" routine had to make planning a nightmare every offseason, to say nothing of the pouting over which free agents must be signed. Comments like "I am not going to ever change the way I play" - when games were many times lost on boneheaded decisions have long demonstrated an immature attitude embarassing for any veteran player, let alone a player of Favre's stature. Finally, spouting off on the situations of other players is NOT the realm of a teammate - it should be handled strictly by management.
Sure, he is a great player and gave a lot to his team. But : it is a TEAM.
Favre came to believe he was more important than the Packers - and now is stamping his feet and threatening to hold his breath until the team once again caves in to his desires.
Well, Daddy finally has had enough and is saying "No" to Brett.
The Packer organization is displaying the backbone so seldom found these days in player-organization disputes.
As painful as the whole situation is, their decision to concentrate on what is best for the team is the right way to go.

True...on other hand some of what the Favre camp has done has been kind of shitty too.

I have not read the TT interview today so if he noted that occured my apologies for posting the drivel.

I don't think the story of Favre wavering is false, but it is coming from one side (Packers and NFL sources), so I doubt that it went down exactly as has been reported. Just like TT has in no way behaved any way close to the way Scott and Mama Favre tell it.

If the story weren't a poor reflection on Brett, Bonita would have covered it in her press tour already.

And now reading the exact quotes from McCarthy , it appears much closer to the reported story.

It is not just Fox telling this story. TT pretty much gave the same timeline of events to Silverstein today.

[Fritz]

On the 'timeline" thread I posted a response to the idea that TT and MM might have "brilliantly" orchestrated the whole timeline thing to make themselves look good and throw some blame back at Favre.

In that thread, I wrote, essentially, that if you want to lie or spin the truth, you don't give details. it's too easy to fact check things like borrowing planes or how many phone calls you made.

i don't think TT and MM are just throwing mud. I think they've run out of patience with the Favre clan and are trying to quell some of the public uprising by demonstrating that they were in fact more than open to Favre returning.

Could be something that Bus didn't count on - that the Favre clan aren't the only ones that can use the media to get their message out.

Yup, and GB Brass is much more effective
