Holy Crap! Favre'll show up for camp!

[SkinBasket]

Personally, I don't think Rodgers is our guy, there are too many things he does that he should not be doing after three years in the NFL.

The argument about who's better for the team right now aside, what is it Rodgers is "doing" that he shouldn't?

[MadtownPacker]

If by good you mean a circus for the whole organization, than, yes, it will be damn good.

Quit being such a wimp with that crybaby bullshit. It is fuck ing ENTERTAINMENT and if you think this isnt the shit the NFL powers dream about then you are lying to yourself. Drama brings ratings and stay or go the Favre news aint going away unless he stays retired.

Favre sitting on the bench doesn't bring ratings.

Are you kidding?? That would be an even worse car crash that people would not be able to turn away from.

But if he is serious about competing for a starting job I dont think he loses to Rodgers.

[Harlan Huckleby]

All of this speculation is getting ridiculous. Why don't we just split the forum in three and the people who worship Rodgers can stay on one side and the people who worship Favre on the other and then the people who are Packer Fans and want the best players available playing for the Packers in middle, that is what it comes down to.

Count me a Rodgers worshiper! HE even looks like Jesus.

And is that a blessing of the multitudes he's doing with those hands?

You think people are going to tune in to a Packers game and say "There's Favre holding a clipboard. Maybe, if we're lucky, Rodgers will get hurt and Favre will play"?

Ratings will be high if Favre plays, as always. The NFL would like Favre on another team, ratings-wise. You think ratings wouldn't be sky-high for Favre's debut against the Saints, if he goes to Tampa? Can you imagine the ratings for when the Packers travel to Tampa, if Favre is a Bucs?

Having Rodgers starting for the Pack and Favre starting for another team would be heavenly for the NFL.

If that's true, if Favre really shot down a trade to Tampa or NYJ, and if he's really insisting on coming back and sticking it to 'em, then if I were TT I'd stick it right back: put him through a few weeks of training camp and then stick him on the IR for the year. End of consecutive game streak.

Yeah...paying Favre $13M is sure a great way to stick it to him.

You think Favre is doing it for the money? You think the Packers' bottom line would suffer? At this point it's sounding like Favre might pay $13 big ones for the chance to stick it to TT.

The problem is that he would be sticking it to the Green Bay Packers.
As a fan of the Green Bay Packers, he would be sticking it to me.
I prefer to remain unstuck.

Favre does not have a veto, he has the ability to refuse to show or not negotiate with the team. Call it a line item veto.

And this is what conditional draft picks are for. Its a second rounder if he is on the roster at all during the next two seasons, its a seventh rounder if he doesn't show.

Favre will be dealt withinthe next couple of days. My money is on the Jets.

Then you will be wrong.

Favre has the right to veto any trade...and he sure as hell won't go to the Jets.

Favre: Not Interested in Talking About Jets, Bucs
July 25, 2008 by sfhayes
Stranger and stranger. Chris Mortensen reported that Ted Thompson and Brett Favre spoke yesterday and that Favre told Thompson he planned to report to camp. Thompson told Favre that both the Bucaneers and Jets were interested in trading for him and, according to Mortensen, Favre was “not interested” in talking about those trades.

If Favre refuses to be traded to a playoff contender like Tampa Bay, he will confirm the growing suspicions many of us have that he orchestrated this entire thing so that he could play for the Vikings.

Jay Glazer just posted an article on Jets/Bucs and it already has 991 ciomments.

And for this scenario you ask for the highest pick in a round, not a specific teams pick. So you term it the higher of any picks in the second round or th lowest of multiple picks in the first.

Now this is what i dont understand...
A team like the Jets could make a decent amount on getting Favre, then turning around and dealing him to the Vikings... What a twist that would be.
But still, i honestly dont think theres any way that Favre goes to the Jets, i mean playing in the same Div as the patriots would suckk.

My money is on him being a viking some how, although it would suck

[boiga]

But is he not interested in "talking" about those trades, or is he not interested in playing for either team?

One potential way to look at this is that Favre is keeping mum on the subject to allow ted to bump up the bidding war between the two. This could be the first pro-packers move Favre has made all off season.

Ironic, considering it eases him into another team's roster.

[pbmax]

Its now officially a game of chicken. Who will blink first? Can McCarthy stand 320 questions per day?

Can Favre stomach playing second string?

My nightmare scenario is that he starts this year. I'm not worried about him playing poorly, except for the cold and the playoffs. But if he starts. then we get to relive this for the next two years as well. And each time they will need to wait until training camp opens to find out if he is coming back.

He is going to be moved for conditional picks.

Don't feed Merlin, Skin. He has hated A-Rod from day 1 and refuses to give any credit to him as it feeds into his anti-TT agenda. Don't feed the tool.

The only tool here is the hater that is you! Go suck TT's smooth ballsickles.

Is anyone else around here beginning to detect the pungent 'aroma' of tank once again despoiling the sweet atmosphere of healthy discourse?
