Favre not reinstated today (Wed), BS reasoning by the NFL

[Tyrone Bigguns]

I hope the NFL fines the Packers everyday for this "holdout."

What is good for the goose should be good for the gander.

So far it is the NFL that is holding out!

I know.

I just can't wait for the NFL to reinstate...then let the fines begin.

[Patler]

I wouldn't call 1,200 a week modest, but to an NFL salary I guess it is.

With those Hummer payments to make, jewelry to buy, etc. it goes fast!

Good point though, if they release a rookie to bring Favre in it will cost them $425/week more.

Except, right now, the ball is in the NFL's court, not Brett Favre or the Packers. The Packers can't do anything until the NFL acts, and Favre can't do anything until the Packers act. If the NFL fines itself, that doesn't accomplish much.

IT SENDS A MESSAGE DAMMIT!!

I am guessing the Commissioner is stalling for a reason. It would be a circus for Favre to come back at any time. It would be a three ring circus if he came back just in time for family night.

Monday is a lot better from a PR standpoint than is Friday.

Less than a week of camp and they are already having the scrimmage. Boy is this gonna be an ugly night, Favre or no Favre.

Same thinking here as far as stalling. I am hoping he is stalling because a trade is imminent.

[Freak Out]

What a load of crap...there is no reason for the commissioner to mull this over for a couple of days. Reinstate #4 and let the Packers work a deal or release him.

Besides it would be good for the GB economy.

GREEN BAY, Wis. - There are no indications that the Green Bay Packers reached a truce Wednesday with quarterback Brett Favre, setting up - at least for now - a Friday showdown between the sides.

Packers president Mark Murphy departed a daylong meeting with Favre and his agent without commenting to reporters. Agent James "Bus" Cook, meanwhile, said Favre still wants to be the Packers' quarterback but indicated the team hasn't budged from its position that Aaron Rodgers is the starter.

"He would love to go back to Green Bay," Cook told reporters in Hattiesburg, Miss. "That's why he started working out. But right now it looks like he'll be the quarterback at Oak Grove [Miss.] High School."

Favre worked out at Oak Grove as recently as Wednesday morning. If NFL commissioner Roger Goodell reinstates him Thursday, Favre could be in Green Bay as early as Friday.

"We're going to do whatever Brett wants to do," Cook said. "And right now his intention is to go back to Green Bay and play football."

There is NO good reason for the commish to delay reinstatement after he previuosly stated that he would reinstate Brett without delay. The guy is starting to sound like a big of a snake as TT.

According to Schefter, Goodell has been in contact with Brett and is merely waiting for his go ahead to accept the reinstatement. It's sounds like Goodell's backing the NFL's money maker in this one.

Brett already sent it in. If he is backing Favre, what is he waiting for?

Packerarcher:

Yesterday I asked you why you so intensely disliked TT from the moment he was hired, even before he first sat down at his desk. You said you viewed TT as a snake from the moment he was hired. Now you are calling TT a snake again. Please tell us. Inquiring minds want to know.

Why did you have so much animosity for a guy you didn't know and who had not yet had time to do anything to piss you off?

Schefter says he's just waiting for a phone call from Favre. Considering that a lot of Schefter's info on this one is coming from the Favre camp, that should be accurate.

Why would you think it's gonna be ugly? The guys have been working all offseason...
