Favre waiting on reinstatement

[MJZiggy]

If I remember correctly, both Favre and MM said he was left alone until Feb.

Wow! They left him alone for ELEVEN DAYS! Outstanding.

The NFFC game was on Jan 20th I believe...so that is 11 days until February.

Then to start calling the guy once a week after that...when you damn well know he just got finished with a season where he would need some time to decompress???

It smacks of the antsy. I'm not saying the Packers don't have the right...just that it seems very odd they were so antsy when they already had their pieces in a row at the QB position.

Answer me that...WHY THE FUCKING RUSH????

Who knows when the first call in Feb. was? It might have been the second week, or later. My point was (which you avoided by quoting only the single sentence) was that "weekly calls" amounted to four flipping calls at most, maybe only 3. WOW, THE PRESSURE MUST HAVE BEEN UNBEARABLE FOR HIM.

The other point that has been missed is that the calls were from McCarthy, not Thompson. If Thompson had been calling him weekly his point might be somewhat more valid (but not much).

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this or not, but who cares even if TT were trying to pressure him to make a decision. He's Brett Freakin' Favre!! If he's not ready he says "No, Ted, I'm not ready, I will call you in a couple weeks." What's Ted gonna do about it really. He does anything, and the fans crucify him at that point. Even if he got all the way to the retirement presser, he could simply have said, "you know what? I thought I had a decision to give you, but I'm not 100% in either direction right now." Yeah, he'd have taken a little heat for it, but we'd have been spared this whole "he made me do it" crap.

Actually, yes... I was sensing some deja vu because you posted almost the same comment "Nail in the Coffin Thread".

Trying to boost your post count?

Is it possible to plagiarize yourself?

Couldn't remember if I said it here because I've gotten into a couple conversations with people at work about it. People tend to show up in my office if they wanna talk about it...

You got it. We waited for quite awhile for his decision after a crappy 2005..but, with everything he did in 2007 the guy could have waited until end of July and nobody could have done a thing about it, he had the GBP wrapped around his little pinky..and the fans would be burning management at the stake if they tried. Just one of several mistakes the Favre camp has made this year. Lump that in with his original retirement speech which had plenty of comments by Brett that were all about finality with little to no room for reversal, and his side has little (if anything at all) to stand on by way of Brett not having total control over his own future, forget the ridculous idea of anyone making him do anything. I have a feeling that the last person to ever actually MAKE Brett do something was probably Irv Favre when Brett was a teenager, even then I am skeptical.

I agree. If Favre wasn't 100% either way, he should've kept his trap shut.

However, he's an emotional nutcase...so, like a woman, he can't keep his trap shut. It must have been his time of the month.
