Favre to blame for nasty divorce

[LL2]

Another comment by Woodson, scrolling on ESPN ticker....

"it's over...we don't want brett favre and brett favre doesnt want the packers...today we officially moved on"

I wonder if that is how most of the players feel. I wouldn't doubt that some of them do...Driver might be the only exception.

I think most of the players are extremely tired of the situation at this point. They have ZERO control over it, but have to answer questions about it night and day.

I know I'd be ready to stop answering questions about it. They've all come to the realization that management has made the decision that Favre isn't coming back, and it is time to move on.

Arod should have smacked that 6 year old across the face.

He did the right thing by not doing it...the parent should learn to parent. Some of these losers are starting to give you flatlanders a bad name.

The fact he looked at the kid let alone heard him tells me he already has head problems.

Harsh, but true, and it needs to be said...

But if you believe that the quarterback soon will be leaving Green Bay, most likely via trade to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, because those merciless meanies just didn’t want poor ol’ Brett around, you’ve got more than cheese clouding your head.

How the hell can that be true they have never backed down from their stance of you won't start,won't compete, it would be best if you don't come, stay retired. How the fuck is that wanting him. Only red headed MM said he was welcome. Brett fucked up,but it obvious to anyone with any brain cells there is more to this story than we all know.

Please find where they said he couldn't start; that he couldn't compete. All you will find in statements that they have moved on and the Rodgers was their QB, all of these statements made before Favre even bothered to file for reinstatement, and thus, wasn't even a member of the team. Once he got reinstated, they asked him if he was ready to compete for the starting job, it was Favre who didn't want to compete for the job.

Why can't you just take McCarthy's press conference at face value, especially after Favre and Cook have confirmed that the meeting went down just as McCarthy said it did? McCarthy should not have welcomed Favre back if he couldn't get over what has transpired recently, and I'm glad he didn't. Favre agreed 100% with that. He said so himself. Favre walked away, and did so for the right reasons. I know he's not our QB anymore, but I'm sure he earned some of the respect back that he lost over the duration of this circus.

He didn't want to be a distraction to the players. He said this has gone on too long, and it wasn't fair to those guys who are trying to prepare and win ballgames. He still loves this team and this town, and didn't want to put any more pressure on them than he already has. So he left.

So it goes back to a question McCarthy posed in his presser. Why on earth would McCarthy allow someone with a negative mindset to come in and disrupt the locker room? Favre made it clear he didn't want to play for TT or MM. Whatever your feelings for Favre, MM is still the coach and TT is still the GM and that's not going to change anytime soon. So put 2 and 2 together, and - just like both Favre and McCarthy have said and agreed upon - it just wasn't going to work for Favre here in Green Bay.

And it has little if anything to do with football, which is the point I've been trying to stress so hard for the last couple of weeks here. It's bigger than 2008, bigger than either Favre OR Thompson by themselves, bigger than football. Like I said on Monday, if Favre couldn't get over what happened this summer and make it all water under the bridge then I didn't want him here. He could not get over what happened, he agreed it would have been a distraction for him to be here, he acknowledged that it wouldn't be fair to his former teammates that he cares deeply about, and walked away because he felt it was what was best for this team. I don't see how anybody could have a problem with either side on this. This outcome is one of the best things that coulda happened coming out of this.

McCarthy has said all along that he was welcome. When Favre came in, he was welcomed and M3 took a lot of time to have a long discussion with him to talk things out. If Favre had been able to let all this go, he'd be in a competition right now, but he couldn't. So he isn't.
