Murphy heads south, asking Favre to stay home

[Cheesehead Craig]

Isn't this the same source that had that Brett was using a Packer cell phone?

[The Leaper]

Anyway, I don't know what he is going to say

Exactly. You don't know any more than anyone else.

So stop trying to act like you know something. Everyone is SPECULATING, yourself included.

[The Leaper]

Personally, I believe that Murphy is done sitting on the sidelines and decided to jump into the fray himself and hear directly from Favre face to face what is going on in his head. Just has to hear it from the horse's mouth.

There is a proactive president for you.

Im ot speculating. Show me once saying where I said what Murphy was going to say. I have used Lurkers well thought out post as a possibility of what Murphy MIGHT say.YOU are the one that is claimng AS FACT that Murphy is going to tell Favre to stay home.

Is there any reasonable reason why all parties involved can't sit down TOGETHER in one room and talk? What they are doing isn't working.

I have no idea how he'll word it but the message would be this:

"Do not show up for camp".

There is no logical reason to fly to Missisippi to state you are a backup. They already stated they wouldn't cut him. They stated Rodgers was top of the depth chart. It has all been said before. What else is there to say in Missisippi that you can't say in camp other than "don't come to Wisconsin"?

Nothing else makes any sense.

How about sitting face to face with Brett and find out what Brett is truely thinking and have a calm rational discussion behind closed doorsd instead of sniping thru the press? Ever thought of that?

TT said in his press conference he spoke to him for 45 minutes twice on Saturday. What can Murphy find out about his intentions that TT couldn't in 90 minutes of conversation just a few short days ago? I honestly don't see where you are going with this.

So why is he waiting until NOW to do this?

Becuase now Favre has actually filed for reinstatement and is an active player.

Maybe Murphy feels the relationship is too strained to have a constructive ending without his involvement.

Not many of us do. Someone just wants to pick a fight, I guess.

Perhaps...but it would be wishful thinking to assume that if things had gotten so bad that Murphy alone could somehow flip the switch and make things all better. Murphy has no relationship with Favre. Favre doesn't trust Murphy. It would be a meaningless trip.

Sure, I understand that and it very well could be. What else can Murphy discuss in Mississippi that he can't in Green Bay though? It seem that the Packers should have a clear picture of his position by now so why send Murphy? I just can't see a scenario other than asking him not to report.
cpk1994 seems to imply there are plenty of reasons to talk.
I can only see the one myself.

Yeah he did, but Favre is pissed off at TT, therfore has no reason to be truful to hm. Murphy might be able to have that calm rational discusson becuase there is no beef between them.
