Favre saga update

[The Shadow]

Disturbing to me is the fact Favre has learned nothing; he is still shooting his mouth off when he should be quiet.
Distraction to the team?
Please!

Favre really is a piece of trash.

For what? Man, you have no idea what the truth is and you're making judgements. You know what happens when you assume right? I'd say their is only one piece of trash.

These are Favre's direct quotes. Are you calling your Lord Favre a liar? Say it ain't so!

This was a practice. I've been at several and he's been very sharp in the others. He had an off day. Recievers dropped balls. Rodgers will show what he's made of. Sunday night was not what I watched the other days I was at practice.

I cut A-Rod a little slack for the delay and wet conditions

Yeah because those conditions would never happen again right? He better get used to them. I'm not judging Aaron after that scrimmage either, but I would hope the conditions were NOT a problem for him or it could be a long, long year.

I dont see him throwing ARod under the bus. Is he suppose to say "yeah I suck and the kid will whip my ass"?

I actually think he is referring to the "open" competition being BS.

True. Favre thinking that he is better than Rodgers isn't exactly a surprise. Rodger's will deal with it. It's not like anything could add more pressure at this point than was already there.

I'm still confused why he blames the Packers for the "paying him not to play" story line when they kept their mouths shut during the whole process and the leaks of pay not to play came from "sources close to Favre."

But like I said, it's better for him to blame Ted than those among his family and friends who have been living it up this off season with all the media attention.

How about just saying "I asked about an open competition to have a shot to get my job back and they said no". THere was no need for the uncalled for pot shot at Aaron.

The shot isnt at Rodger maricon. It is at the idea that a fair competition would actually occur. Guess you could say it was a shot at M3.

[HowardRoark]

What's wrong with the Bucs? What's wrong with the Jets? Both of them have playoff aspirations, the Bucs' being more likely.

Favre needs to be coddled. I think he is emotionally fragile.

Maybe he doesn't think he'll get a fair shot. If they don't want him anyway, can the competition actually be fair? It looks like Brett wants to be annoited the starter and he's not going to accept anything else other than a trade to Minny.

Thats what it sounds like to me.

YOu might want to include the rest of the post. I said mostly for the delay as he had to sit around longer than anticipated, which can make an already antsy QB, becuase of Favre, even worse off. I said a little bit for the conditions.

Is it just me, or is it rather hypocritical for Favre to question the Packer's commitment.

The Packers DID try to buy Favre off.

The reports I've seen suggest the price continued to go up. Initially (back in March) it was $10M...then it went to $20M and reports even stated it was as high as $25M.

The Packers conveniently tried to brush this off as something that has been in the works since March...but if they have been upping the price ever since in an effort to get Favre to retire, how is that not a bribe?

I personally think Favre is absolutely 100% correct about the Packers trying to pay him off. It was the one way they could get out of this mess without sustaining PR damage or fan basklash.

It is hypocritical yes, but like I said earlier, I think he's feeling MM said "yeah we'll have an open competition, wink, wink". In other words Brett doesn't get the feeling from MM that he has a shot to win the job at all so he'd like to move on to somewhere where they definitely want him to be their starting QB.

Kind of funny that you claim reports that paint management in a bad light are 100% fact and info painting Favre in a bad light is 100% BS.

That's not exactly correct. They already have, and would have continued to sustain plenty of PR damage and fan backlash for this had Favre taken them up on it.

And you're exactly the opposite due to your blinding hate for Favre.

Or maybe they just want hin to go away and were willing to give him a lollipop to disappear.
