Really? I thought we were going to fold up the franchise. Funny thing though. When he "retired" on March 3, most people were ok with the future of the team. Most people seemed ok with Rodgers leading the team. Now the team is screwed with the oft injured, won't stay healthy for two games, blah, blah, blah AROD leading the team. Really nothing has changed but now they suck without Favre. I don't get it.
I don't think anyone here has changed their minds into thinking that we're going to suck without Favre. In fact, I think most are supportive of Rodgers and want to put this drama behind us. But...how can we? I hate that it's dividing Packer fans.
Just a lot of emotion lately with Favre. Personally, I am going to hate seeing him with another team. I wish he would just stay retired.
Was there a question about the March near-unretirement?
nope
Was there a question about anything??? - Nope!
Just an awful interview. VanSustern replied for him. If he didn't get it out clearly, she filled it in for him.
She should be embarassed by her performance, in my opinion. It was clearly a Brett Favre fan giving Favre a national podium, not a news reporter/commentator trying to cut through the spin to get down to the facts.
So very many questions that SHOULD be asked.
I agree with you, whole different interview if it's done by ESPN/NFLN/Peter King/anyone who covers profootball for a living. . .
It was more of a venting by Brett.
And that's why she got the interview...
She's interviewed Brett before. She's a friend, she's from Green Bay, she's a shareholder, she's a fan. That's why she got the interview. Oh yeah..and it was on a national stage viewed by millions and millions.
I didn't read the first 7 pages. Anybody talk about how the team will react? Personally, I'm not sure Favre has that much support in the locker room anymore. I think the team will be okay with him getting traded, so I don't see it dividing the locker room or anything.

That's funny. Don't get me wrong, I don't know that I can ever recall you disrespecting TT. But he has been soundly disrespected by a number of people.
Well now I guess we should dump Driver and anybody else who ever gave anything of themselves to this franchise and while we are at it tear down the statues of Vince and Curly in the front because loyality and respect for past acomplishments don't fucking mean shit to this new generation of little fuck-wads.
What I gather from this is Favre is putting the pressure on them to make a move and make it soon to get everything out of the limelight before he presents Franky.
My guess.. Favre turns in papers, TT publically says come to camp and compete for the spot, may the best man win. Secretly, a handshake is occuring that Favre will be the starter.
TT is probably going to cave eventually because the damage this is doing (the fact that this story has been on the top of espn and all the major sites for days now) to his name and the packer name is just not worth it.
Harv, I think the team wants the best QB possible back there taking snaps... the thing that cures all is winning and guess who's the winning'est qb of all time....

Precisely--a friend and a fan who wouldn't hold his feet to the fire if the opportunity came up...

My gut tells me the team would welcome him back with open arms
My gut also tells me the team will welcome AROD if he's the starting QB..especially if we win
I think the team would be OK with him traded; they have to be a bit sick of it too
TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWER

Really? I disagree. In my opinion, the vets are the guys that call the shots in the locker room, and the vets (Chuck, Al, Chad, Mark, Don) want to win now as they know they'll have limited opportunity.
Not only that, but its not like the offense has completely changed and Favre wouldn't be able to pick it up.
I'm sure the guys aren't happy with Favre and all this crap, but I am sure when push comes to shove they rather have Favre under center than Rodgers, because winning and money are the bottom line, and Favre gives them a better chance at both.
I'm pretty sure Favre was burned out from working 24/7 on football while A-rod was either getting hurt or out drinking with GBR. Some commitment to the game he has. STFU with your stupid propaganda.
I don't even know that he is a drinker. One time he had a beer with us, but other than that I've never seen him with a drink.
Then again, after all this drama he might start....

I listened to an interview on WSSP (ESPN affiliate in Milw.):
She stated that Favre wanted to be released to avoid having a divided locker room. I think he could have made his opinion voiced a lot sooner, like when it was announced e wanted to be released.
Favre's just seems bitter with Thompson for not allowing him to play G.M. Same thing happened in Chicago with Mike Jordan at the end. Kind of funny since the Packers would have had a real hard time signing Rivera and Wahle. (Rivera would have been a bad re-signing since he's proven over the hill since then.) Anybody sad we didn't hire Mooch?
In the transcript, Favre expressed frustration with three incidents in the recent Packers past involving Thompson.
In one instance, Favre told Van Susteren that “I worked my butt off two years ago to try to get them to sign Randy Moss,” adding that he was willing to give up salary to land the talented receiver.
But Favre said Thompson denied publicly that Favre had lobbied to get Moss, which Favre said was not the case. Moss signed with the New England Patriots.
In a second instance, Favre said he once tried to convince Thompson to re-sign Marco Rivera and Mike Wahle, two key linemen, but the two got away and signed elsewhere.
In a third case, Favre told Van Susteren he tried to convince Thompson to interview Steve Mariucci, an old friend, for the head coaching job vacated by Mike Sherman. Favre said Thompson ended up hiring Mike McCarthy instead.

I was just trying to make a point. I think you mentioned running into him at Curly's once
