TT is shopping Favre(anyone have McGinns article?)

[sheepshead]

Two pieces so far about trade rumors on PFT.

In an I-Told-Ya-So...its mentioned that TT would deal with Brett if he launches Bus "The Colonel" Cook.

agree or disagree, this is pretty funny:

Viking loving little weasel that Florio is....

One thing seems to be clear. Brett Favre has played his last game as a Green Bay Packer.

I'm not positive about this.

All Rodgers has behind him are two green rookies. If somehow Favre were to come around to accepting a backup job, the Packers would benefit greatly from having him on the roster.

A backup job on the Packers may very well be Favre's best option. Especially since the chance of him getting a starting job on the Packers through injury or superior performance are significant. I don't think Faver really wants to go to a new team unless it looks like a chance to heroically lead them to the Super Bowl.

I agree it seems unlikely the BF will have such a change of heart. But I don't think we can know for sure how this SECOND rejection (first by the team, now by the fans) will effect him.

the big mystery about the whole Favre saga is: What does Madtown think?

That pussy hasn't made a single comment.

What else can be said?? He is being treated like a fucking Mexican. Do everything you can for the white man then he deports your ass when you try to take a little break.

Well said, I agree with everything you said Harlan, but do you think that Favre and Thompson can kiss and make up after all that has been said so far?

boy, the women of the forum are certainly standing by their man: 007, GBrulz, Madtown, PackinPatland, FavreChild, etc. I think this is like the female Elvis Presley fans who went nuts with grief when Elvis went into the Army.

I feel a Helen Reddy song coming on:

We are Favre Fans, hear us roar
In numbers too big to ignore
And I know too much to go back an' pretend
'cause I've heard it all before
And I've been down there on the floor
No one's ever gonna keep Brett down again

If I have to, I can do anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman

Oh hell ya!

The hold-up is Brett has to be willing to be a backup on the Packers. And I'm not suggesting that it is possible for him to do this given his personality, I don't know. But that's the only way it can work to have him on the team. If he becomes the starter, fine.

said, sure what about 'done'. If TT is indeed shopping him, can this ever be repaired?

McGinn reports that the Packers and Ravens talked about a trade and the Ravens rejected the offer (3rd rounder and a player or pick). He lists the usual suspects in the AFC but still includes more NFC teams.

He does state that the Packers will not trust Cook to shop Favre services for a contract and trade. This might legitimate the claims of earlier this offseason that Cook has been shopping him. That would mean that Cook (possibly Favre) has been angling to leave since April, if true.

McGinn also has a bombshell that Cook and Favre have been using a Packer cell phone to make calls to Bevell AND Childress. How this is not the lead in the article I am not sure.

If that is the case, the Cook and Favre will need to withdraw their application for membership in Mensa.
