NAIL IS IN THE COFFIN

[Bretsky]

Brett said when he talked to MM a week or so ago telling him he wanted to come back, MM huffed and puffed around. Brett said he wasn't ready to decide in March and wished he could have had til Training Camp to decide. He said MM said, "Why didn't you say so? Ahh." Brett was like, "You told me you needed an answer by draft/free agency so you could get guys in here." He seemed puzzled that MM and TT were upset. He said he appreciates them trying to save his legacy by not trading him, but he said something along the line of 'I'm a big boy.'

Yeah, he said he appreciates them trying to save his legacy by not trading him, but they might welcome him back as a back up.

Hard to argue that the "save the legacy...protect you from yourself" is nothing but a self servicing ridiculously stupid argument

wrong hyperlink... doh

This is like a soap opera.....when will she ask the big question:

Do you see yourself playing in a Packer uniform next year????

He noted a few times GB has been the only spot he's ever wanted to play, but that is no longer his call

Re: NAIL IS IN THE COFFIN

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.

Havel said this in April. That is how Favre feels about it. The problem is, the offseason is when guys get together and grow something special for the up coming season. IT's not right for Favre to leave his teammates to work and then just show up on Sundays like he's one of the guys. I think Brett Favre lost his ground and thinks he's above his teammates. I don't think MM or TT were ready to take him back with the disrespect he's shown to the guys he plays with.

It's no secret that you love Thompson, Rodgers, and Justin Harrell. Unfortunately I can't find the post where you said to tell Favre it's time to grow up, I suspect you changed it because you knew it was stupid the second you wrote it. It's time to quit pussy footing around Aaron Rodger's ego and give him a dose of reality. No player tells me as a fan to "get on board or shut up" or whatever the quote was. That shows exactly the amount of ego this kid has. This comes from someone who hasn't had 1 day of competition in the NFL, someone who was handed a job without so much as taking one snap, retained that job without ever being tested.

The GM you love so much is flip flopping on his own handling of the QB position. Rodgers deserves special treatment, Favre does not. Seems a little backasswards to me.

Re: NAIL IS IN THE COFFIN

Really? So the days he is excused from working in camp, he's working just as hard as the fourth year vets?

And exactly how do you know how much he works during the week?

That's a load of crap Harrell.

Favre works harder in camp and during the season as anyone on the roster. Just because he needs to take more time to recover during the offseason due to the fact he is 38 years of age and his body isn't the same as it was 15 years ago doesn't mean Favre is some kind of diva.

Favre hasn't disrespected anyone IMO.

Re: NAIL IS IN THE COFFIN

Ya know what, JH? I wish you would STFU with your remarks about Favre. You are glad Rodgers is our QB, ok we get that. But to hear you continually disrespect one of the greatest QB's to ever play the game with your BS is beyond sickening.

[Bretsky]

He said he appreciates them not trading him to protect his legacy....

BUT WANTS A RELEASE????

Whats the difference?

Yo; he was being sarcastic when he said that

[Pacopete4]

I don't agree with them basically black balling Favre from not playing at all... IF they dont want him to be the starter, then they should allow him to find a suitable trade to a team... as sad as that is.. let the guy finish his career that he has poured everything in to!

[pbmax]

It is, its just not his call alone. And it would have been all his had he not retired.

[Merlin]

Lurker, he knows that they dont plan on starting him... you really think if he wanted to play, and they just said he show up if u want, that he wouldnt? theres a ton going on behind the scene that he nor TT/MM are telling.. and its SHOWING

Agreed.

Wrong interview.

[Bretsky]

Favre has been told he's within his right to unretire and report to camp, I don't see why any football player would want or need any more of a welcome.

Brett, if this is really how you feel, stay retired for chrissakes.

That is not exactly the message Favre gave tonight; that is the message TT put out via the press though.

Wrong interview.

Yeah, I read the first 2 lines and posted it here - then went and read it and was

Oh well, I'm sure it'll be on youtube, Fox (many times) or FAVRESPN fully...

[Bretsky]

No serious minded person needs 7 months to decide when to retire when you have been contemplating it since 2001. The training camp as target date is ridiculous.

He has also just contradicted most of what he said about his decision during the retirement press conference.

Agree on the first part

Not sure what you mean by the 2nd

Well, you might as well get on board or shut up because that is where we're at Merlin. How does that taste?
