Questions I want the media to ask Brett

[TravisWilliams23]

When Brett does finally report to the Packers, here's some questions I'd like to hear the reporters ask:
1. If MM decides to start A-Rod, will you accept the role as backup?
2. If you won't accept the role as backup, will you accept a trade to any team the Packers can swing a trade with or will you demand Minnesota as your destination?
3. This situation has divided the fans and is giving the organization a black eye. If, as you say, you only want to play football, why wouldn't you accept a trade to the Jets or Buccaneers?
4. Put yourself in A-Rods situation. How would you have handled this situation if you were in his shoes?
5. Do you still have respect towards MM as your coach or friend?
6. Will this be your last year?
7. What are the goals you hope to achieve this season?
8. What advice do you think your dad Irv would have given you on this situation?

Good stuff. I'm guessing no more than a couple of those questions will actually be asked.

[GBRulz]

What would be asked and would he would answer are two totally different things. I agree though, those are some good questions.

Concerning your decision to "un-retire" in late March......


1. Did you call TT and MM saying you changed your mind about retiring and wanted to play?

2. Were TT and MM happy about your decision to "un-retire" and glad to have you back? As the Packers starting QB?

3. Did TT and MM say they would come to your home the next day and hammer out the details of your return?

4. What happened over the next 24 hours that made you change your mind about playing....again?

Im guessing NONE of those questions will be asjed as the press are a bunch of Favre sychophants who will lob softballs all day long and try to make Packer management look bad.

1- Why is it ok for you to bitch whine and complain about the management and want to be able to get out of your contract with no questions asked but it was not OK for Javon Walker to do it?

I expect people like Jason Wilde or Pete Dougherty to ask them. The doorknobs at ESPN, Fox, etc. are going to be kissing Favre's backside anyway.

Again, I have no ill will toward Favre. I am just disgusted on how he handled this. Those who have constantly ran TT and mgmt. down should be ashamed. They were thinking of the best interests of the team. (which will go on by the way once #4 does leave the game). Could they have handled things differently, maybe so.

Regardless if this season is boom or bust, I have lost a portion of respect for Brett. He has dragged his team through this distraction/sideshow on his own account.

I do feel for A-Rod. This kid has been lambasted in this forum by those who think he can't do anything right. He has been here the WHOLE STINKIN' OFFSEASON getting himself prepared to lead this TEAM. Got to be frustrating for him.

We do have to make this as a positive. Teams will have to game plan for BF and a strong running game.

Now we if we can just find a solution to fill the D-Line problem....

Wilde and Daugherty won't have the guts. THey'll lose access to Favre if they ask.

I'd like an answer to this question as well, but now is definitely not the time to ask it. Favre is coming now. That alone is going to cause enough controversy. Favre's whining is an irrelevant issue now, so...

Question for McCarthy: Did you or Ted Thompson tell Brett that he would only be able to return to the Packers in a backup role, as he and his agent have repeatedly asserted?


Question for Favre: Did the front office tell you that you would only be able come back to the team as a backup, or have your and your agent's repeated assertions of this been even more evidence that you have been lieing and attempting to manipulate your way out from underneath your contract with the team from the very beginning?

[digitaldean]

I've heard Wilde on ESPN Milwaukee state that he doesn't get access to Favre, so why the hell would it bother him??

I've listened to him recently too. He's been pretty critical of how Brett's been handling this.

Besides Favre only grants football interviews to people like Peter King, Mort or the dorks from ESPN/Fox/NBC.

Forgot Ed Werder is on texting list.....

Favre has had a press conference in the press room after every game and every wednesday that all credentialed members of the press can attend for a few years now. He is inaccessible in the locker room because he would be hounded to too great of an extent. They've needed to control the environment to make it manageable for him and the press.

Number 6 started this mess years ago and you want it to continue?

Give me my helmet or give me my release is not the same thing as give me money or trade me.
