PACKERS OFFER FAVRE $20 MIL TO STAY HOME!!!!

[Badgerinmaine]

They should have sent him down there to begin with. I cannot believe another former player agreed to do that. You'd think they would have gone with the gentle grandpa like yet firm, loved and respected Harlan.

Are you talking about Bob Harlan or OUR Harlan?

I don't believe this story for a second! This is probably the same 'source' that leaked to the media the fantasy about Brett's cell phone.

the keys words there..."loved and respected Harlan". Hopefully that clears up any confusion :P

I hope you break your ankle and fall down today, and land right on a giant hill of ants, and they eat all your flesh, and people keep walking by and don't care.

Sorry, but I have to agree. The Packers are supposed to represent class, loyalty, and the common man's values. Not cold, hard big business.

Some of you say you will never look at Favre the same way again - well, I will never look at the Packers organization the same. This is a disgrace and an embarrassment to what the Packers are supposed to represent.

Exactly!

Empty speech making. Was it hard and cold when the Packers gave Favre multiple changes to unretire in the off season?

You are blind to Favre's behavior because you love him.

I do think the $20 million is kind of a bribe, but it can be defended with precedent.

Willie Mays was paid to be the face of the SF Giants until he got a better glad handing job at a NJ casino.

After he retired, Kirby Puckett was paid $1 million per year on a five year contract to glad hand for the miserly Minnesota Twins. THE MINNESOTA TWINS for crying out loud!

If Kirby Puckett is worth a legitimate million PR dollars per year in 1990s dollars, an argument could be made BF is worth $2 million per year in 21st century dollars.

I think there is a legitimate component in the offer as well as a desperation component. It doesn't seem well thought out though.

Is that why nobody pays attention to baseball?

WSSP thinks Murphy acted without the executive committee's blessing on this. If thats the case and this offer was legit, I don't expect him to make it past the season.

What an embarrassment. All favre or against favre feelings aside, this is ridiculous and probably could be considered breaking some rule. Even if its not, it certainly seems unethical.

Seriously doubt that, because Murphy JUST got the job. Putting myself in his shoes, I wouldn't want to risk my job within the first year by going over my boss' heads trying to spend 20 million dollars of the company's money. However I don't know squat about Murphy or his tendencies, so maybe...
