Part 3

It is obvious that Ted Thompson lead Favre to believe he would do some things and then never did them.

It is not so obvious. He had a deal in place for Moss. How is that lying? You can quibble about whether or not he was an idiot to let the Patriots out bid him, but there is no way he lied about trying to get Moss. Yet, in Favre's world, apparently he did. It would appear that Favre's digging deep looking for any ammunition he can.

You must have missed the point he made. He was pissed Ted denied Favre had pushed for it. He was asked "Rumor had it that Favre pushed for the Moss signing" and Ted said "No, that's not true".

Not a big deal to me but it apparently was to Favre.

I guess I missed that. In any event, I don't think that is telling Favre one thing and the media another. It is a tough situation, many players would be pissed if their GM told the media about a private conversation.

It would not be in Ted Thompson's best interest to tell the media that a player has been pushing him to sign a player. Seems to me that it would leave the door open for any player to come to Ted and ask for a player to be signed. It is just not good business practice.

Exactly, so the proper response was "I can't get into that now".

It's not that simple. The media and all of us would assume that means "yes."

Which would be the truth. Better to "no comment" than lie.

Better for who? The second Oakland finds out that Favre is pushing for Moss Oakland gains some leverage.
