Favre signs letter of reinstatement; ready to send

"In retrospect, your boy TT looks like an idiot..."

Brilliant! You have the entire weight of the NFL, who voted Thompson 'Executive of the Year" behind you on that one.

"Honestly it is a horrible time to be a Packer fan."

It's NEVER a horrible time to be a Packer fan.
The Green Bay Packers are the best sports enterprise of the Cosmos!

I say bring it on. I don't think Clifton gives two shits about Favre. Driver is about his only friend on this team. Maybe Al Harris.

You really have no clue do you. Maybe if TT would let you come up for air more often you wouldn't be such a fucking idiot.

Something more substantial has to have happened between TT, M3 and Favre that they now don't even want him here.

This is what really has me perplexed. [snip]

I'm with you two on this one.

Sorry....don't believe it.

You don't think Driver, Clifton, and the other vets aren't going to be on Favre's side? You don't think they will let that be known.

Sorry, just don't see any good at him coming to camp and I don't think that the team will go on as if nothing happened. Not when it comes to Favre - the leader of the team last year .

Reminds me of when the Cult INSISTED that Wahle and Rivera, with a chance to take care of their families for years with a new fat contract, would gladly take less money to 'win one for Brett Favre'.
I think they both signed with new teams in record amounts of time.

I think many of the players are a bit tired of Favre hogging the spotlight and the media attention, as well as holding their team hostage every year with the diva routine. They are pros, and want to be recognized for at least playing some itty bitty role in the Packers success.

Your posts are getting almost as bad as JH's.

We have very different ideas about Tanks humor level. I guess if you consider laughing at him funny.

Tank was a right dick sometimes, but when he was in character I found him to be quite amusing. He was best in the RR, however. When he brought himself into the Pack Chat it usually turned bad.

So long as I dont come to an internet forum spewing BS so I can get my "LOOK AT ME" fix, I'm OK with whatever you have to say. How long till you start singing the praises of Coldplay?

I can assure you that if you EVER see a post of mine that praises Coldplay I have either started drinking very heavily again,or aliens have taken over my body.

Was a long and dark December....

And now he's willing to compete for the job? Wasn't he above that last week?

Maybe but he is willing now and if he is being told he is not welcome at Lambeau Field that is bullshit. I have to wonder if this is more about Favre vs M3 than it is about Favre vs TT. He deserves to at least have a chance to compete for the job.

FAVRE SAYS THOMPSON BEGGED HIM NOT TO RETURN

Posted by Mike Florio on July 27, 2008, 3:03 p.m.

Chris Mortensen of ESPN reports that Packers quarterback Brett Favre has signed a letter requesting reinstatement, but that Favre might not send it until Monday or Tuesday.

Per Mort, Favre says that G.M. Ted Thompson “pleaded” with Favre to give the team more time to figure out the situation.

“I asked Ted [Saturday], ‘Am I welcome in the building if I report?’ and Ted was just about shattered,” Favre said.

“He said, ‘Brett, you can’t do that — you’ll get me fired.’

I told him I’m not trying to get anybody fired. So Ted asked me to let the guys report and let’s try to resolve this over the next two or three days.”

Favre also said he’s getting pressure from his agent, Bus Cook, and his wife, Deanna, to move forward.

“Deanna, Bus, everyone here [in Mississippi] says, ‘You’re so stupid, letting [the Packers] play you like this,” Favre said. “They want me to get in there now. I may wait until Tuesday or so.”

Favre also said that he asked Thompson to let him genuinely compete for the starting job in Green Bay.

“I said, ‘Let me compete, you’ll know I’ll win this job’ and Ted said again, ‘Brett, things have changed. Aaron Rodgers is our quarterback.’

It’s pretty clear — and this is what I told the commissioner — that they want me to go away, stay retired. They would much rather see me in a Packers’ uniform, paying me $12 million to be a backup — which you know they really don’t want — rather than see in another uniform, no matter what they say. They’ll drag this out, asking a king’s ransom [in a trade], hoping it all goes away.”

And so the situation, which seemed two days ago to be destined to resolve amicably, is getting uglier.

If Favre is portraying his call with Thompson accurately (and it’s possible that Favre is exaggerating, to put it kindly), the Packers are backed into a corner, and it very well could be that their only options are to genuinely welcome him back, or let him walk.

Finally, these latest developments make Taco Bill’s newest offering even more appropriate.
