NAIL IS IN THE COFFIN

[Packers4Ever]

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.

No, I thought you said it right, GBR, in that sequence, I believe - protect your legacy. stay retired - come back as a backup?
It was like he'd been waiting his turn to talk for a long time. I too would
be very surprised to see him in green and gold again, sad as that sounds.

At least that's how I read it.

Part 2 - 10 Eastern tomorrow night

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.

Once again, agreed. They guy likes Justin Harrel for faks sake, how creditable can someone be to jump on the bandwagon of a guy who has been nothing but injured for two years and also on the bandwagon of a guy who has only proved he can offend the fan base?

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

I saw the interview, I am sick of Brett Favre lying to me. He lied to me in March, and he lied to me tonight. I've seriously lost faith in Brett Favre as a "quality human being", he's a damn good player but he's disingenuous and sneaky. I think Brett Favre owes every single Green Bay Packer fan a sincere apology for his travesty of a "retirement" press conference he held in March. I'll be waiting for an apology, but I don't think I will get one.

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?

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.

Woodson and Harris don't make it regularly to those either. They are TC type of guys as well.

[Pacopete4]

How is he lying to you?

Was there a question about the March near-unretirement?

Wrong interview.

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

I was just going to say that this thing's gonna hit youtube before it hits foxnews.com...there's some pimply kid working on it as we speak...

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.

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

As suspected, you are that stupid.

[TravisWilliams23]

Maybe MM is the one TT is worried about losing over this ordeal.
Think about this: Brett has his retirement bash in early March.
Later that month "if true" he tells TT he wants to come back and then shortly before they get to finalize that, Brett decides to retire - again.
MM acts on the assumption that Brett is "officially retired" and prepares the upcoming OTA's and practices with all indications that Arod is his QB.
Everything is going according to plan and MM's happy about they way the team is coming around with the "new" offense.
Then bingo-Brett wants to come back and MM would have to start all over again wasting the time already put into the "new" system.
Maybe he tells TT that he won't coach that way and TT doesn't want to lose a pretty good coach over this fiasco.
Don't really know but maybe.

I have nothing against his support for Rodgers, Harrel, etc. I have a problem with the disrespect showed towards Favre. No real Packer fan would ever talk about one of the greatest players ever, like that.

[Brando19]

Was there a question about the March near-unretirement?

No, but he did mention MM sending a guy down a few weeks ago to talk him out of coming back.

Re: NAIL IS IN THE COFFIN

Woodson and Harris both made OTAs this year, Woodson more days than Harris.

But Leaper is talking Training Camp, and the long term vets get a day off (might be the pad practice). So Favre is not working as hard as the younger players.

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

You are a fan of stupidity, I see that very clearly now. Next thing you know you will be clamoring for Rex Grossman when Rodgers gets hurt walking into the building the first day of TC.
