Hopefully we'll have some more answers after tonight. Wouldn't bet on it, though.

hopefully the NFL station on sirius covers it.

Listening to McCarthy's press conference last night, I picked up on something that I haven't seen anyone here analyze (if they have, I apologize, but I missed it).

What exactly does McCarthy mean when he says he'll "talk to Brett, get some information, and use that information to move forward together"?

He emphasized Brett's "indecision" before he said that above quote.

Do I smell an ultimatum? I wonder if perhaps McCarthy wants to try and make sure that all of this never comes close to happening again. I wonder if he wants to drill Brett tonight for exactly how long he intends to keep playing in this league.

If Brett says, "this is it" - then perhaps McCarthy is more inclined to let Aaron Rodgers sit one more year and hope that he isn't too bitter and proud to play for us when that year comes.

If Brett says, "Who knows, it could be 2 years - I can't possibly promise anything" - then perhaps Rodgers gets traded when another team needs a QB - or perhaps McCarthy goes on with the "Open Competition" and gives Aaron his fair shot.

Whaddya all think? I'm not sure if I'm seeing all the angles, but it's a conversation starter anyway....

I can see it now:

"Brett and I had a good conversation this afternoon..As you know, he has been placed on the active roster, and he is a member of this fuhtball team..However, no decision has been made as to what his role will be at this point."

Then he proceeds to answer a million different versions of the same Brett Favre questions with either "I don't want to get into what was said, that's between Brett and I" or "Those issues will be addressed as we move forward."

I have a bad feeling that we're not going to learn anything tonight..I could certainly be wrong though

Unless M3 comes out with a black eye, any news will be good news. When I start hearing Brett Favre updates on BBC you know this has gone on long enough.

[Pacopete4]

I have a feeling you are correct.. and it sucks cuz I'd just love to know a little bit about what to expect since im going to camp in the next couple days

[Partial]

I predict he says they're going to have a quarterback competition and may the best man win as that is truly whats best for the team.

If Favre says he doesn't know and can't promise anything I think the Packers would be unwise to trade away Aaron Rodgers. If anything, trade Favre and let his new team try to plan around his indecision. Aaron Rodgers is 100% committed to this season, next season, the year after, and the year after that.

PP55's post is very telling of what one of the quetions is likely to be. As for your other question, Favre hasn't been very nice to the Packers lately has he? He slammed TT, fine. But when he insinuated that the hiring of MM was one of his grudges - especially since the candidate he favored is a horrible coach who is currently unemployed - MM probably has questions regarding Favre's willingness to play for him.

If they can't find a way to get past everything that's happened over the last month or so and work together, then Favre can't play here. The organization has made it very clear they side with TT and MM - the ENTIRE organization, starting all the way at the top (TT is not the guy at the top). So if Favre and McCarthy can't work things out, it's Favre that will be gone.

Who is "them"?

Are "we" so bad that we have to be described now by ambiguous pronouns?

Huh. I thought she was talking about Tyrone, Tex, Partial, Skin, Howard, Bobblehead, and the rest of "them". Is that the wrong "them"....

I'm so confused........
