BRETT DENIES REPORTS....

[Fritz]

I'm kind of feeling sorry for the Brettster now...here's a snippet of what Glazer said the Jets' players' reations were...


"I talked to some players in there, players and coaches. I asked them a couple of weeks ago and they said, 'It wouldn't surprise us.' I said, 'No?' They said, 'No. He is so...he needs to let it go. He is still very upset about this.' They were pretty adamant about his displeasure with the Green Bay Packers."

Hell hath no fury like a Legend scorned.

this all could have been avoided if Favre had been tapped to replace Ron Wolf when he left

well, Coach & GM, like Sherm.


Geez, I just remembered that Holmgren left because they wouldn't give him the dual job. Then a year later, Wolf turns around and gives both jobs to the great Mike Sherman, Tight Ends Coach Extraordinaire. Did that really happen? Favre as Coach & GM suddenly sounds realistic.

Nah, it was two years later!
I think your mind has blanked out the Ray Rhodes season. Happens with many of us. Sort of a mental self-protection mechanism!

Why would you feel sorry for Brett? He brought this and continues to bring it on himself.

[Fritz]

Because he's in a place where he can't see what he's doing to himself.

[Patler]

Because he's in a place where he can't see what he's doing to himself.

And those around him aren't helping him see it. From the high of last season, all the records set, the near-miss in the playoffs and the extreme adulation given him when he announced his retirement; his image has been on a decline. From being one who could do no wrong in the eyes of a great many he began to look indecisive, then deceitful; childish, then petty; conniving, now vindictive.

Things did not turn out as he hoped for or planned. He made some mistakes along the way. The more he tries to blame others or get back at others for it, the worse it likely will be for his image. He needs to listen to his team mates, both past and present, who have said it is time to let it go and just move on.

let's pray for his deliverance....

Agreed on all counts. Ted looks more and more in the right merely by keeping his mouth shut.

Rhodes? Where we're going we don't need Rhodes.

The vindictiveness was already a given - specifically the comment that he wanted to be traded to the Vikings to get a chance to compete against the Packers - and then he said directly in the press conference following his meeting with McCarthy that there was some vindictiveness involved. He was honest - pathetic and sad, but honest.

The stuff with Millen is just two levels deeper of pathetic:

1) Millen or the Lions or who??? released the information to embarrass the Lions? Embarrass Favre? Embarrass Millen? Who did that help? What was the 'source' thinking?
2) The information really did a lot of good, didn't it.
3) Shouldn't Favre be learning his new offense instead of this subterfuge? How lame is that? His JETS teammates must love knowing that every time he was going 'WTF play are we running?', it was at least in part because he was wasting time trying to undermine the Packers.
4) It really doesn't matter if it was some casual conversation, the picture of petty vindictiveness has been painted. Nice legacy. Thanks Brett, it's really nice to have this final vision of you as a spiteful, bitter, pathetic, fat, out of shape loser.
