Part II

[Partial]

Because its stupid Red...

He missed the optional practices.. Big F'in whoop.

There is still time.

It's not like they've been practicing daily and are about to start games tomorrow.

No, they're about to start getting in shape in about two weeks, and start practicing in pads in another 3 or 4. Gimme a break. He hasn't missed anything of importance to this point.

With that said, he has competed in years past (not really), and shouldn't be afraid to do it again.

It's pretty obvious Favre has no bombshells, no big secrets of how TT and MM screwed him over. He thinks he should be handed the starting job and is upset it's not happening. I just don't get how people can continue to defend Favre the way they have.

Looking purely at the facts:
Player A retires
Player A has chance to come back, is welcomed, and changes his mind
Player A decides a month before TC he wants back in
Organization tells him it's too late

How is this their fault? IMO, this entire situation is 90% Favre's fault. The problem is that people can't think coherently when Favre is involved. People are too emotionally attached. They remember the memories and can't think logically.

If you replaced Favre/MM/TT with Brady/Belichek/Kraft or Manning/Dungy/Polian, 99% of the people in this forum (everyone but Bulldog) would be saying fuck Brady/Manning and calling them selfish babies.

NOOOO WAAAAY.. now I really don't like those QB's but like us, those teams would be morons to not let Manning or Brady come back and play.. its that simple. Yes, Favre screwed up in retired, PRESSURED OR NOT, but he's back, 100%, he said it tonight... there should be ZERO hold up now in having him back

I'm not saying now, I'm saying 38 year old Manning and Brady.

[Pacopete4]

If they play as well as Favre did at 38.. whats the problem? I could totally understand if he was shitty last year, but he wasnt..

[digitaldean]

If he's back, file for reinstatement, come back to GB for training camp and bury this issue.

If he does all this posturing, he will be going nowhere.

They made the two rallies sound like they filled Lambeau Field. They didn't even break 250!! Not exactly what I'd call a groundswell.

I'd take Favre back if he came back. But somehow I don't think he'll be coming back.

[PackerTimer]

Really nothing new tonight. This was one of the worst and most pointless interviews I've ever seen. So many questions that could have been asked and weren't. What a waste. He should have just let Al Jones write another article.

[Harlan Huckleby]

There is still some time for TT/MM to feel the heat, its only going to get worse as training camp gets closer.

Maybe they will just do what they think is right and weather the storm.

What is this "heat" really going to consist of? PEople burning their season tickets in protest?

This is not an easy decision with an clearly superior choice. IF some very stupid people can't see beyond their own point of view, to hell with them.

[RashanGary]

The problem is that the Packers told him they moved forward, effectively telling him they didn't want him back. He's hurt right now, badly. He feels slighted and he wants to fight back.

He's doing everything he can, but at the end of the day there is nothing he can do. The Packers are a very savvy organization. They'll get through till TC, then they'll let the football do the talking and while this will not go away completely it will become less and less of a distraction as time goes on.

[Pacopete4]

Harrell I agree... You're right, BUT ONLY if we win.. that will be the only thing that takes this away.. and if Rodgers plays well

If Rodgers looks like he is holding this team back, it will not be pretty with Favre sitting at home or playing for someone else

I agree. The Packers will have no comment until training camp. If he shows up then they'll have a decision. If he doesn't want to compete and doesn't show up the Packers really have nothing to gain and they won't say anything.

He kind of hinted tonight that he doesn't believe that they might be considering a trade. But really they have nothing to trade. He's still retired. If he really wants anything to happen, he'll have to force their hand. The only way he can do that is by filing for reinstatement. If he doesn't do that, he has nothing to complain about.

[Bossman641]

Is Fox News gonna interview TT to have fair and balanced coverage? Only seems fair.

[RashanGary]

If the Packers bomb without Brett, TT and MM will likely lose their jobs within a year or two. If they win, they'll get all of the credit.

Right now it's sit back and watch. I have a lot of confidence in TT and MM. I think we have the right guys to bring this team to many years of success. I think they have confidence in themselves and made this decision with that at the top of mind. I'm looking forward to a fun new era of football and wish Brett the best in whatever he does. Change is always tough, but it can be interesting if you embrace it rather than fight it.

Brohm and Flynn are not even the roster.

Two weeks ago I was telling my Dad who lives in Wisconsin how Flynn has the least pressure on to make the roster.

Things change.

Why in the blue hell would you think Flynn has the least pressure to make the roster? A 7th round pick should always be worried about making the roster.

[Pacopete4]

Ya, I hope they are right too.. cuz I really don't want to go through a shitty period of Packer football

I think his thinking was that they have 3 QB's.. and 3 QB's are going to be on this team and a week ago, Favre wasn't an issue which left him at #3, easily....

I think TT and MM will be the first to agree with that. They have jobs and livelyhoods at stake. I'm sure they knew that when they told Brett it was time to move on. It's hard to accept, but this current regime has done a lot of good things. I think we're about to see the next big thing and it might shock a lot of Packer nation.
