Murphy heads south, asking Favre to stay home

[digitaldean]

Patler and B duking it out....

[Pacopete4]

THE PLANE HAS LANDED!!.. where do you think he's stayin?

[MadtownPacker]

Stunning development.

Like Dean said, this might be where the management's cookie starts to crumble. I can't believe this is happening man. Really messed up. Favre was being an ass and disrespectful while TT played it smooth. But this now smells like desperation and that is something you never want to show.

Probably the Budgetel

[Patler]

Care to ride back with me on the plane tomorrow ?

Sure, we've paid you enough over the years for the one Super Bowl you brought us that your private plane is bigger than the one they gave me for this trip.

Figured he could crash on Ted's couch.

[Patler]

We can't trade you until someone wants you, and right now no one does.

See you in Green Bay.

You really dont think its that simple, do you?... NO ONE WILL EVER TRADE FOR HIM KNOWING HE MIGHT BE RELEASE... its just not "good business"... do you get that concept?...

You are wrong. The only team that wouldn't trade for him is Minnesota, because that is where he will go if he is released. Any other team HAS to trade for him if they want to get him. If the Packers release him, they have no chance to get him.

Here's the JSO article:http: www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=777838


It's got some interesting bits:

-Murphy's acting like he's a super spy "I can't talk here," he says.

-Brett hasn't been working out with his trainer this summer

-He refuses to talk to the Bucs or Jets

I got all that except the last point. Didn't say anything about him refusing to talk to NYJ or Bucs. Just said that both had permission, but so far talks haven't progressed.

Fine, carry get my bag. I wouldn't want to hurt myself while under contract.

You are welcome for the Super Bowl; I hope it doesn't take you another 30 or so years to win your next one.

I've been saying this for over a week now. He won't allow a trade to anyone to happen cuz he ONLY wants to play in minnesota....man are they guilty of tampering. I can only imagine what if anything he said to the jets if they contacted him.

He wants his release, he's being a prick, he is trying to be disruptive now by showing up to camp. he is being very chad johnson like all of a sudden. I am losing respect for him daily.

If he talked to the jets, said "I'm excited to get you your camp and play" the deal would be done yesterday, he hasn't, it isn't, now he is coming to camp. HE ONLY WANTS HIS RELEASE.

Every BF thread is a waste of time cuz these are the facts and it says it all. He will show to camp, this will get uglier, and near the end of camp he will be released after not taking a single snap. (can't let him fake an injury or we owe him the money). We aren't going to get a trade done cuz he doesn't want one, and no one is trading for a QB who doesn't want to play for them.

Personally, I would call minnesota, offer him for a first and if they refused I would show him just how bad they really want him.

Dear Mark Murphy,

I have little to no trust in you, who I hardly know, or the guys that you say are so diligently trying to move me.

I am coming to camp and I know it's going to be uncomfortable, but it's the only way I know if that will put a rush on your desire...if that is what you care to call it...to move me.

I've given you a few days and for every day you sit on your ass and don't make something happen, my ability to play is lessened.

So tell the Turtle to get something down or give me a release.

Thanks for coming, don't let the door hit you in the ass, and I'll see you tomorrow in Green Bay.

Dear Mr. Favre:

Welcome to the the 2008 Packer Training Camp! Coach McCarthy has expressed excitement to me at the opportunity to once again work with a future hall of famer. He has prepared a list of objectives that he thinks can best allow you to contribute to the success of the Packers. Mike will discuss your role in detail, and if we have a match, you will be granted admitance to the facility.

Regarding your desire to play for another team, we have twice requested from you a list of 10 teams that you are agreeable to playing with. If you are sincere about pursuing other opportunities, we will be happy to cooperate with you. We have already given permission to two NFL teams, the Tampa Bay Bucs and NY Jets to speak with you, but they report little interest on your part. Perhaps you can meet with Ted Thompson when you arrive Green Bay to advise him on those 10 acceptable teams.

Regarding your unconditional release, please understand that this will not occur before your contract expires in 2010.

Regards,
Murph

You guys aren't understanding that teams are not going to pay up big for him.. why would they? They know the Pack is fucked if they plan to not play him if he's on our roster so they will wait it out, just like a "good businessman" would....


Bobblehead... release him, see how many teams want him then... or are you a pussy too, like TT?

[swede]

Things are really getting strange when Harlan becomes the voice of reason.

The ultimate contrarian strikes again.

You are a frickin softie

If this is all Murphy is going to say we'll definitely see Favre in Camp

He's there to make an effort to prevent that
