Favre saga update

[Harlan Huckleby]

NFLN just saw Brett drive off.

are the helicopters following him in his Ford Bronco?

Favre of course thinks he'd win an open competition, which anyone with a football brain would know is true.

Bob McGinn doesn't think so. Mike McCarthy doesn't think so. At least a few peope with football brains think Rodgers is better for the team.

At bottom, Favre wants to play with someone else, and he'd like to say who that someone else is. Favre is a 16-year vet. Why do people react so violently about the idea of a 16-year employee, in a field where the average tenure is about 5-6 years, having a say in where he'll work next?

He does have a say. The Packers would probably be willing to trade him to 29 of the other 31 teams in the NFL. Companies do have non-compete rules, so comparing him to the real world is not a good example.

BTW, I agree that he sounded more conciliatory in this interview. Hopefully, he agrees to a trade to a team besides Minnesota or Chicago, and then I can forgive him.

Favre was wearing a white shirt and gray shorts.

Hmmmmmmm. Very interesting. What kind of shoes was he wearing?

This article made me feel pretty good about Favre, which I haven't done in a long while. He sounds reasonable, and I don't know how people are reading this as badmouthing A-Rod. He says he understands why A-Rod's the starter now, he's not bitching about that, and Favre of course thinks he'd win an open competition, which anyone with a football brain would know is true.

At bottom, Favre wants to play with someone else, and he'd like to say who that someone else is. Favre is a 16-year vet. Why do people react so violently about the idea of a 16-year employee, in a field where the average tenure is about 5-6 years, having a say in where he'll work next? Each and every one of us would like the same courtesy, and most of us don't have 3 MVP awards on the mantel (I was employee of the month once, but that's about it).
And so what if it's the Queens? Honestly, so friggin what. Are we such pussies that we're afraid ol' man Favre'll whip our ass? Screw that. Let him go there, with the blessing. Just make sure he buckles his chinstrap come Monday night.

Heres the problem with that. I agree with you that they should trade him to Minnesota and be done with it, but if TT does that, the PR hit would be gimnormus not to mention its bad business. You never improve your rival at your own expense. One of the Packers goals is to win the division. Winning the division can help you tremendously interms of home field, possible bye in achieving the ultiimate goal, the super bowl. Do you think it would be easier for the Packers to win the divsion if Jackson is leading the Vikes or Favre? Anyone with a brain knowsthe answer to that one.

Boxers or Jockeys?

All very important information. The grey shorts must imply the type of mood was in this morning. But....the white shirt shows a happy mood. Looks like another dead-end clue. Darn.

Ya I never understand why they mention what he's wearing

this looks like the last scene from "Grumpy Old Men II"

McGinn(Silverstein too) are the only Journal writers that I respect. McGinn was the first writer to realize that Sherman was coddling Favre too much and called him on it. It was kind of funny that all the people that jumped down McGinn throat for that article were saying the exact same things in why they wer glad Sherman was fired.

Brett Favre has left Packers camp for the day and is expected to meet with his family and general manager Ted Thompson.

He obviously won't be practicing Tuesday. Adam Schefter of NFL Network reported Monday that the Packers and Bucs were still talking about a Favre trade and a meeting with Thompson seemingly suggests that Favre could discussing a potential deal.

Why do people react so violently about the idea of a 16-year employee, in a field where the average tenure is about 5-6 years, having a say in where he'll work next?

Because he took a ton of money from our team in exchange for giving up that say.

Yeah, I get this, but isn't he saying that GB can put the $12 mil back in the bank so that he can go where he wants? How is that a screw job?

Especially when the Pack doesn't want to keep him. If the door is what both want, why be outraged that Favre wants to say where he wants to go? I'm not saying at this point just release him, but if Favre says I want to go to the Queens, then why not do it?
