What do you think Bus Cook's roll in this is?

[sheepshead]

I think it's huge. Brett is the furthest thing from a business man as you'll ever see. Anyone recall the story Deanna tells about how Brett was given a personal check to pay his trainer and Brett put his name in the pay to spot and crossed stuff out and messed it up beyond recognition?

Anyway, Cooks job is to be the intermediary between the player and team at some level. As Brett said, ask any vet if he's ready to make a sound decision in March and he'll likely say no. I think Bus Cook is the real fall guy here and has failed his client miserably. He should be very in touch with Brett as an emotional guy and should be having side bar conversations with TT and Brett. I know I didnt think for a minute that he would stay retired watching that presser on March 6 and Cook should have seen that also.

Sound observation. What is an agent for but to act for the client and seperate emotions.

Bus Cook doesn't impress me as being a high end agent...and IMO that is hurting Brett Favre a lot right now. He isn't getting great advice or counsel from Cook.

Plus the fact the he represents Moss as well, anyone else see a pattern here?

Exactly. Cook has a personal hatred of TT becuase of the non-aquisition of Moss. He has let personal animosity get in the way of doing the job Brett hired him to do.

Your one sicko puppy. A LOT you post is of distain and reproachful, hateful garbage. How does a young man end up like you cpk1994? That really concerns me.

Look asshat, Bus Cook was pissed off at TT for not getting Moss FACT. That animopsity is leading to what he is doing now. Why don't you quit sucking Favres dick and get back to reality with the rest of us. I am done responding to an assclown like you.

Moss used the Packers to get to NE. Moss specifically said in an interview "the only team I would consider renegotiating my contract for is the Patriots". This has been hashed out over and over. Moss was not coming to GB.

My point in this wasnt necessarily a Moss thread again. It was more to the point that Cook has a responsibility here and I think he has failed miserably.

Nice try, but logic and fact do not work with the "TT is the devil" believers.

Well damnit I still have to try. Maybe Brett could read the articles that have Moss saying he wanted to go to NE too so he can stop bringing it up?

RIght. I was simply pointing out why Cook has a motive against TT re: Moss and why Cook has personal animosity against TT.

[sheepshead]

I'm with ya.

Actually, Moss also said that when he talked to Thompson about coming to GB, he didn't care for what Thompson had to say, such as "Driver is our guy, do not step on his toes", and "we need to have assurances that you are going to be a good boy and not embarrass us."

Moss said that after talking to Thompson the one time, he had heard enough to know that he didn't want to talk to him again.

In other words, Thompson does not know how to deal with star players, and will probably never bring one to GB. His commitment to treating every player exactly the same, highlights that fact, as does his treatment of Brett Favre.

It's easy to blame Bus (and I have), but he works for Brett. I'm sure Bus is just relaying Brett's thoughts. I think the bigger problem is the communication Brett is getting from those around him. It sure seems like his brothers and his other cronies read every rumor, believe them, and relay them to Brett as if they were fact. I think a lot of miscommunication may have come about because of this.
