      The $20 million approximates what was raised in the last "stock" offering in 1997-1998 (24 million). I'm sure the 120K fans who forked over $200/share would be happy to know that their $$$ is being spent for Brett not to play.

      This can't be true...

        The wording on this makes it seem like JSO is trying to make a simple idea into a cold hard fact.

        Let's be clear about a few things

        1. Murphy would not be stupid enough to make the formal offer; he would just run the idea by them

        2. Greg Bedard has to have some dam good sources to be reporting this; he gets inside info being full time in covering the Packers and he'd get pummeled if this had no solid ground
        TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWER

          Would you guys say "disgusting" if Favre accepted it?

          Although I do think this is kinda low.

            This would be stupid. I'm hoping there's more to it. I'm guessing the source is somebody in Favre's camp.

              i'd be saying "disgusting" if it is true.... but at this point, nobody knows and shouldn't jump to conclusions

                Thought about this a little more... there's no way this would be offered. The NFLPA would be on this in a heartbeat.

                  It seems like whenever there's a report it's always "from a source close to the Favre camp."

                  I don't believe a single thing that comes out of the media's mouth now. Not that I had faith in them before....

                    Good question. I'm not sure. I'd be pretty upset because then it shows it had something, even a little bit, to do with the money.

                    On the other hand, it would be tough to turn down 20 mil.

                    On the right foot, I've never had that much money so I'm not sure I'm the right guy to compare.

                    On the left foot, that is probably 1/10 of what he has made in his professional career. Say I make 5 mil in my career. I loved working and wanted to. Would I take a 500k payout to stop working, or continue doing what I love for 275k per year?!? Interesting question.

                            yea, and someone had reliable info that a deal to tampa was a done deal...sorry if I don't believe the sources of posters on a packer/favre fan website.

                              You post that inside scoop at some point prior to now or is this another "take that to the bank" he's going to Tampa per Suds?

                                Do you realize you've been spelling the word "weasel" wrong for the last 2 weeks?
