According to Chris Havel of GB Press Gazette

[Lurker64]

So if I'm believing the things I'm hearing:

1) Brett doesn't want to play for the Packers.
2) Brett only wants to play for the Packers.
3) Brett doesn't want to be traded to Tampa Bay.
4) Brett doesn't want to be traded to anywhere except Tampa Bay.

When we add in the "Wants to play/Doesn't want to play" angle of the earlier offseason, I find that Brett is a very, very conflicted man.

Thanks for clearing it up! :P

I find your ideas intriguing and wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Unless a deal is in place already, this news isn't exactly going to drive up the price for Tampa.

No, but Rodger Goodell did get involved and if he is going to encourage the Packers to act with some haste, I would expect that he encourages suiters to respond in a way that is fair to both sides. I think the NFL realizes this thing is ugly and they just want a quick, fair resolution that is fair for everyone and gets Brett into a team in time to make some money for the NFL. Ulitmately it's a money thing, but I would expect it to be fair as well. Maybe I'm naive but I have confidence in leadership here.

He can encourage Tampa all he wants, but they are the ones with the upper hand. Goodell and the packers want this shit resolved, and i bet Tampa doesn't want to give the asking price. There TC doesnt start for another week so they also have time

No. This is wrong. The Packers are not under any pressure to get anything done. The best thing that can happen is Favre delaying filing the reinstatement papers indefinitely. True, Tampa also may not be under any pressure--they probably could use Favre, but they could just as well play the season without him too.

ESPN says the Packers are asking for a first round pick. That's fine. I doubt anybody will be dumb enough to pay that much, but if they do, fine, take it.

Bottom line is the Packers can just pay Favre his salary and let him sit--f--- the commissioner and the media and anybody else that doesn't like it.

I'd let him go at the start fo the season. If he can go in there at the start of the season and grind 120% all year long just to get caught up then he deserves whatever success comes his way. More than likely, I htink he'd choke it away iwth a mistake if he made it to the playoffs anyway. Whatever offense he's running, he's going to be behind and in order for him to play as great as last year he had to be 2 steps ahead. I also don't see AP staying healthy. I don't want him there, but if it's between having him on our team or their team I'd rather he be on their team. I'd just make sure it's his very last option and it would only happen in a timeframe that is hard on him.

It would take Favre about 3 days to learn the Vikings offense. The OC there used to be Favre's quarterback coach. They probably use a lot of similar terminology. Favre has a near photographic memory, and would pick things up quickly.

If Favre has a photographic memory, how come he threw so many passes to the wrong color uniform?

His memory takes black and white photographs.

Bevell has about as much to do with co-ordinating that offense as Chilly had in Philadelphia. Basically still a QB coach, just has a new title.

Common misconception

for the record Favre had a Great int-pass ratio

Having receivers named Taco certainly doesn't help.

But one can also ask....how come he has thrown so many TD's throughout his career??

1.2 touchdowns for every 1.0 turnover.

[GBRulz]

Grasping at straws now...counting every turnover, because his INT's aren't enough??

Whatever, you Favre haters will find a way to find the negativity in everything. Not even worth the debate with some.

Im with you on this, theres really no arguement on this, people fail to understand that for the amount of passes he threw, he had a very good ratio.
288 ints---8758 attempts =3.3%
while his TD's were better
442 TD----8758 attempts=5%
