GOODELL IS A WEENIE

[Bretsky]

He made a tail between his legs wimpy call today.

First, let me say that if Favre and Murphy agreed to this it was a good call.

But this reaks of the NFL Owner helping a team far more than the player.

It helps Green Bay by giving them more time. They avoid the pressure of the circus possibility and they avoid the pressure of making a deal happen. I've said all along the way to speed the closure up is by getting Favre into camp.

I don't see how this helps Brett Favre. I don't think he wants to create havoc, but it's his only card to attempt to make something happen in a fast manner. Whether it's a trade or release or making amends, it's in his best interests to get into camp, get into football shape, and get with the team that he is going to be with in 08 A.S.A.P.

I can see GB requesting this like crazy. Favre gave TT a few days...with no results. This move, which deviates from what he said he would do, helps Green Bay far more than Brett Favre IMO

Frankly if the NFL is going to pick sides in a player v. team situation, they should pick the side of the team. The players are represented by the NFLPA, the teams are represented by the league. If Favre thinks that the NFL is being unreasonable here, his recourse is to take it up with the NFLPA.

I think Goodell is a closet Vikings fan...

Favre could be back Friday per bus

Interesting article; a couple notes from it jumped out

Murphy was expected back in Green Bay on Wednesday night, but planned to huddle with other members of the Packers' front office before speaking to reporters.


Despite the apparent nature of Murphy's trip, McCarthy reiterated Wednesday that Favre "absolutely" was still welcome in Packers camp. Team officials have made it clear, both publicly and to Favre, that he would no longer be the starter if he returned to the team.

ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported that Goodell is unlikely to rule on Favre's request for reinstatement Wednesday in order to give the sides more time to work out an agreement on the quarterback's future.

Good, strong move by Goodell. I'm glad he's involved

pfft harrell, you just try to be contradictory

[RashanGary]

No, just pullin a Bretsky

Bretsky was all happy when he thought Goodell was involved on Favre's behalf. Now I"m jsut turing it around because he's helpign the team more.

REally I think it's none of his buisness but I could see he and Murphy have a good relationship considering they have a lot in common and Goodells job is to look out for the owners (Murphy represents the Packers ownership)
