NAIL IS IN THE COFFIN

[Bretsky]

After Tonights interview, I can't ever see Favre in Green Bay again.

He was brash; He is bitter. He is unhappy.

Continually said MM and/or Packer brass noted

You can't come back to play in GB
But we can't envision you playing somewhere else

It was very obvious that he felt pressured to make a decision sooner than he was ready......whether his perception is right or wrong.

Recap?

[dabootski]

hate to say it but i gotta agree with you brettsky. god this just sucks.

my favorite player ever and my favorite sports team ever are getting divorced. goddammit.

[Bretsky]

watched it with my wife; she reads facial expressions and tone better than I. Chicks do that

Harsh, blunt, and a bit of a chip on his shoulder. Looked jaded

Those are the perceptions of a chick

[falco]

fuck it

[MJZiggy]

But what did he SAY???

[rbaloha1]

Aloha BF

BF is a poor politician.

What does BF mean by saying he retired but left the door open to return?

What does BF mean by saying he only plays if he is 100 per cent committed but is not 100 per cent committed?

The coach-player relationship is ruined. BF strategically failed to mention TT in part I.

Stay tuned for part II tomorrow.

Everytime he did a direct quote from MM, his impression of him was that of an asshole....i don't think he cares for MM right now. I don't think these relationships can be fixed anytime soon. THIS SUCKS. Part 2 is tomorrow at 10 pm Eastern.

Brett said at first they told him he would not be playing in Green Bay. Then MM said he can't see him playing anywhere else. Then they said he could be a backup to Rodgers. Favre said the only time he talked to TT was June 20. He pretty much denied text messaging him a week or two ago. Favre, at the end, said he may not play anywhere. Kinda strange, mean, shocking interview. I don't know what to think. The only thing I'm pretty sure of is he won't ever be a Packer.

I wouldn't call it harsh or blunt, but he was definitely prepared
to talk and tell his side, no stammering or searching for words - I thought he came across as very strong, it was good to see him at least looking
and sounding like he felt strong, mentally and physically.
But who knows what they'll allow for him ????

Stay tuned for the 2nd half tomorrow night.

I KNEW he was gonna threaten to retire!!!

[GBRulz]

After watching that interview, I am convinced that we will never see him as a Packer again.

There was definitely bitterness towards M3 and the Packers. I loved the part when he said they are trying to protect his legacy and trying to convince him to stay retired, yet they then tell him he can come back as a backup. I probably didn't explain it right, but you've gotta watch the interview.

Re: NAIL IS IN THE COFFIN

Tone aside, those are the positions one would expect him to take.

Was there anything to suggest that he wouldn't take an offer to come back and compete? Or does it need to be an offer to start? Just curious if there is wiggle room.

Main parts of what he said have already been quoted.

I guess it had to end somehow for the Packers... disappointed in MM, TT and BF. People place a lot of pressure on all three - and I don't think this was managed well (whether expectations, timelines, media, etc.).

I do think there was an expectation of a timeline for a decision - and I don't blame TT for asking for one... I question not allowing the door to be relatively open knowing Favre's past -- therefore setting better expectations for MM and ARod.

I'll be very sad to see Favre in another uniform - and I'll likely watch all of his games (on TiVO if it's on the same time as the Pack). He's still 'got it', IMO. 'It' meaning - ability to win/lead a team deep into the playoffs.

But yeah, I think if he came out and said, "I'm an idiot. I want to be a Packer - I'd like to compete for the starting job and make it up to the coaches, players, fans." - I'd feel a lot different.

Recap?

I will do my best although to be honest what stuck out the most to me was his tone.


Favre noted his decision when he retired was that he could not see giving 100%. He said the Packer brass wanted answer in March and he gave it as best he could. Noted some players might just come back and see where it flies, but he needed to feel 100% committed.

Noted that in June he called MM and noted he was interested in coming back. Wanted to get MM's take. He said MM really waffled and backtracked. Noted that puts him in a bad situation and there might not be a spot for him.

He expressed more interest, and he mentioned...at least two...maybe three times, that they said that He can't come back to Green Bay and they can't envision him with another team. CLEARLY he is not happy with this.


The last time he noted that with some stronger tone. He referred to them putting out things that were not true as well. Not sure what that meant, but I bet there is some things missing to the story of the supposed canceled comeback..just my hunch

He noted that despite what they say, they repeatedly noted that he did not feel like he was welcome to come in and compete.
