Bring Back Favre rally attracts "more than 100"

[Harlan Huckleby]

article says they expect a lot more this thursday during the stockholders meeting.. i really think this story will get very interesting the longer this plays out

I suspect the story has already played out.

The Favre camp lost the PR battle dramatically. There are a few knuckleheads who want to fire TT, or tear up Favre's contract, or hand him the starter job, but not the groundswell of support that Bus Cook hoped for. The people who call into radio shows to demand Thompson's head, or protest outside Lambeau, are the passionate few. All fans and casual fans I have talked to think Favre has made a complete ass of himself.

I would like to see Favre show up to camp with a team-first attitude. More likely he will just remain retired.

AHAHAHAHA. What a bunch of losers. I mean really. I love the big cardboard "FIRE TED THOMPSON" sign. Because you know, since Ted Thompson's been GM, the Packers haven't hired a great coach, drafted great, or even had great team success. Boy, that Thompson guy is sure a failure. I guess it is true what some people say, "Favre is higher than God."

What I think should happen is this: Favre should play it off like that episode of Seinfeld where George Costanza quits his job, then goes back as if he never quit.

And the funny thing is it would work! People are more than ready to forgive and forget.

Brett Favre quit? What? No he didn't - see, he's over there running the offense.

Honestly, they look like morons. Don't the have jobs? Those knock off jerseys are hilarious.

At least find something better to bitch about.

Who cares if people are wearing a "knock off" jersey vs paying $175 for a new one.

Also, the last time I checked, a lot of people have the weekends off.

Ok, how about this: Its not going to do anything.

PS - You can get a replica jersey for $50 on ebay. Their Walmart $20 ones are sad.

Well,then how about having them go down to Favres house seing as how HE IS STILL RETIRED AND THE PACKERS CANT MAKE A MOVE UNTIL HE FILES REINSTATEMENT PAPERS! Good god these people are rubes.

Well, they are not totally out there. If Brett was a washed up has been and these people (and Brett) just couldn't let it go, then I'd agree that they need to face facts. Favre can still play based on last year. Until I see proof of decline, I'll not believe it. The team never said he didn't have the ability still. I think the earlier efforts to bring him back showed they still thought he had it. Did Brett think he still wanted it? That was the question...desire! I get that. His desire changed, but not by when the team wanted to know, so they took him at his word about closure and moved on. Now people think they are slamming the door on him because they are not placating him with his implied idea that he should just walk back in. I would be happy for him to do that. The team sees it a different way. They still want him back at this point, but in what role, I don't know. Brett could have just realized that he put the organization in a tough spot and played along with the coming back and realized that if he was competing to beat out AR, he probably would have done it anyway. I think he let his feelings get hurt when the team said they had moved on and his starter's seat had grown cold. I don't blame the organization for moving on, taking him at his word, but now that he has indicated he wants to come back, I hope they are also seriously thinking that Favre helps them (assuming he files for reinstatement and that the brides can be mended) and can be their starter (albeit, not just handed back to him). That's the big impasse. I'll feel bad if GB trades Favre, but I'll understand that it was the confluence of two parties not being able to get in sync, and perhaps one that really wanted his freedom anyway. I hope they both find the grace to finish this thing up one way or another and do it with professionalism.

I wasn't referring to the situation at hand. I'll agree that their rally isn't accomplishing anything and the fact that they lose even more credibility with the "Fire TT" signs.

I was simply pointing out that if you are going to disagree with them, that's fine but to label them as morons because they aren't wearing an authentic jersey or assume they didn't have jobs (hello, the rally is on a Sunday) a bit over the top.

Figures that would be the thing you would focus on.
