NAIL IS IN THE COFFIN

[pbmax]

Exactly, because one-sided tell alls are the best source for the historical record.

When Brett Favre writes the tell all book in 10 years or so we will all know what happened, until then its he said this, they said that... its f-ing dumb. I can't believe im agreeing with John Clayton but they need a mediator in this situation to sit them both down and air it out.. and when it all comes down to that, Brett Favre will be the starter for the Packers cuz like Clayton says, he is the best QB they have... simple

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

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

[woodbuck27]

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.

Coming from YOU then I'd agree with that assessment.

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.

Right, and the lady interviewing him said you're a big boy, and Brett said exactly.

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

BUT WANTS A RELEASE????

Whats the difference?

Re: NAIL IS IN THE COFFIN

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.

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.

GOOD NIGHT... Packer fans and Rastak.

Favre wants control over his legacy...he doesn't trust or appreciate Thompson or McCarthy right now and doesn't want them in control of his future.

[Lurker64]

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.

It's hard to explain if you didn't see it. He was being facetious with that remark. Like "oh, gee thanks for not trading me, but it's ok for me to sit back and hold a clip board" type of thing.

Huh?

[Pacopete4]

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

[pbmax]

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.

[BF4MVP]

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 said McCarthy told him that playing for Green Bay was "not an option," so I wouldn't think that he sees himself playing for the Pack next year..

I have to admit, I feel a little bit guilty about forming an opinion before I even heard his side of the story..Sounds like if they would have given him until training camp to make his decision, he would be a Packer and all of this would have been avoided..

I'm not sure why they needed to know so quickly..Thompson hardly ever signs free agents, and it's not like we couldn't live without Brohm and/or Flynn..

Plus A-Rod wouldn't have been mad because he has said that didn't expect Brett to retire anyways..

I don't know what to think right now..It's just a messed up situation..

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.
