basis of tampering charges Favre statements to Campen

[HarveyWallbangers]

Where do you get this kinda stuff? First, Campen played 6 seasons in the NFL. Since he was acquired as a free agent..i'm sure he wasn't making the minimum.

I agree he's not living check to check, but maybe you should check your records before ripping somebody. There wasn't UFA back then. He was what was called a Plan B free agent. Those guys generally made little more than the league minimum.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plan_B_Free_Agency

Plan B free agency was a type of free agency that became active in the National Football League in February 1989. Plan B free agency permitted all teams in the NFL to preserve limited rights of no more than 37 total players a season. If a player was a protected Plan B free agent, he was incapable of signing with another team without providing his old team the first opportunity to sign him again. The rest of the players were left unprotected, liberated to negotiate contracts with the rest of the teams in the league.

I knew he was a Plan B...hence my statement that he was making more than the minimum...you didn't see me touting a huge salary. And, then the next sentence..even if he was making the minimum.

But, you don't know if he was making more than little more than..etc. You cover yourself with generally...but, the packers sucked back then..and he was a promising young offensive lineman.

He wasn't one of the top 37 players on his team. I wouldn't be surprised if he did in fact make the minimum. If he didn't it wasn't much more than the minimum (like thousands more). You pointed out he was a FA. Those that didn't know any better (like yourself) might assume that means he made decent money. Him being a Plan B free agent wasn't much more than being a street FA nowadays. Why don't you look up how much more than the minimum he made.

I know you are used to being wrong--despite the high opinion that you have about your own intellect.

It's cool correcting somebody, but you don't have to be a horse's ass while donig it.

I completely knew he was a plan b...still is a FREE AGENT.

And because he wan't among the top 37...who cares. That essentially means that he wasn't a starter or among the top 1/2 of the team's backups. You think that a team might value backup QBs, RB, WRs, etc?

Hmm, plan b guys included smerlas, kinard, mowatt, Novacek, etc.

I can argue the exact opposite. Shitty packer team that paid for a young offensive lineman. A packer team that got a guy to play 15 games that year, and started the next. Hmm, maybe they saw a potential starter and paid more..or paid more because they were trying to lure him to a crappy team. Packers were signing Plan B guys like crazy back then.

For example, the broncos paid a 100k bonus to backup gmen NT..robb "fucking who?" white.

I would look it up..if i knew where. Until you post the figures..you are no more right than I.

Horse's ass: you mean like what you are doing here?

Oh my gawd, like, I completely knew it too! (twirling hair) I soo totally thought that he was like still like a FREE AGENT.....I soo felt embarrassed for him.

nu-uh Harvey, you cant be like, serious?

[RashanGary]

ummm, moved forward exactly how? They haven't started camp yet...

It's all rumor to this point.

The Packers moved forward because they decided to go with Rodgers instead of Favre. That was an organization decision. It probably was partly because of the waffling but I'd say a bigger part was just because they are ready.

People wondered why Drew Carey had to shut down the conservative comedians association.

Roark's post solves that puzzle.

The reference to "living check to check" was a hyperbolic argument. I was using hyperbole to make a point.

Ok. My mistake had to be the dumbest one in the history of this forum.
