Sounds like ol' Bus wants the Packers to make the next move.

Read it and sound off....

"If he asks for reinstatement and they start fining him $15,000 a day [for not reporting to training camp], well that just doesn't make sense," Cook said.



"We're going to let Green Bay decide what they want to do. It's their move."

Is Bus an idiot? They don't have to make ANY move.

What a joke.

Lord Favre is delaying filing to block the team from ending the situation with a trade.

Apparently, Team Favre thinks they can beat Team Packers in an ugly public relations campaign. Now, I have to grant them, there are a large number of Lord Favre sychophants who are willing to excuse any and all outrageous behavior by Him. But TT and MM are not going to cave to public pressure.

FAvre is leaving on the lowest of low notes.

Right now we have until the sixth week [of the regular season] and Brett has made it pretty clear that he is not willing to come in as a backup.

what a moron... If Favre misses any training camp, he will not be ready for ANY TEAM!!! this is the QB position not a position were you can come in and just play... What a joke...

I don't think Favre really wants to play for anyone else. He isn't interested in learning a new system or working with a bunch of new players. I've maintained that all along.

He wants to play for Green Bay. I think he is beginning to see that isn't going to happen, and so he is highly likely to remain in retirement.

I always thought that Brett's nieveness was a southerni thing. Turns out he just that dumb. THey are playing right into TT's hands.

He (Favre) is evidently not interested in playing elsewhere, perhaps because he is not sensing interest in him around the NFL, given that the PAckers will block him from playing on an NFC competitior.

Favre is focused on forcing the Packers to take him back with a public relations campaign.

agreed, that's probably the outcome

I think he must be. The Packers can do absolutely nothing while Favre/Cook do all the complaining they want to, and where will it put them? The same exact place they are right now.

If he applies for reinstatement and does not report, the Packers will simply put him on the "inactive/did not report" list that holdouts are put on. They don't pay him but still hold his rights. Fines are meaningless.

The only way he can try to force a release/trade is to report. I doubt they will keep a $12 million backup.

Exactly. Unless there is some devious behind the scenes stuff going on this makes ZERO sense from Favre's perspective. Maybe Leaper is right, he may simply cave and call it a day and this is the start.

Just show up and blow Rodgers out of the water with your play. Who gives two shits about public relations? If the fans were making personell decisions, myself included, the Packers wouldn't win a game.

The longer this goes on, the more mud Favre slings, the more friends Favre throws under the bus, and the more his family tries to attack the Packers, the more people will be sick of Favre.

Actually, this creates more sympathy for me towards Favre. He obviously wants to play for the Packers. I'm solidly in the camp that says it's time to move on now. But if he hadn't made so many damn mistakes over the last four months this thing could have been avoided and he'd still be our starting QB. Such a disappointing situation.

His unreasonble distrust in TT and his waffling is going to cost him a chance to QB a Super Bowl caliber team. So sad. He's been toying with retirement for three years and was always smart enough to not make a quick decision. This year he messed up.

He hasn't always made a quick decision. He just hasn't had someone behind him ready to go and a GM with a twitchy trigger finger.

Leaper people have been saying TT has wanted him out for three years. Why now would Favre jump the gun and make a quick decision. It doesn't make sense.

[Chevelle2]

if he wants out, would he send the papers in? im admitedly confused
