Lord Favre Contemplating retirement...

mark schlareth says the retirement question should be tabled til jun/july - lol

he admits its not favre's fault he's asked that question CONTINUALLY...

It is his fault! He is the one who has made it into a drama every year. All he had to do in previous years was shut his mouth and he could never do that. He had to help foster it into a great big Brett Favre love fest. 100% his fault!

NO its not his fault.

Its the god-damned leftist medias fault!

I was with you entirely for the first 3 years of this drama. But when Brett said he was done - and held a presser that everyone in the country saw to tell us he was done - but then decided he wasn't... It changed my whole perspective on the deal.

The media did not create this drama this year, Favre did by changing his mind. Not that there's anything wrong with changing your mind, but the fact remains that is what started the drama this year.

And it got me thinking, if the media were responsible for the drama the first 3 years, why would Brett himself go on national TV and put his face on the drama this year? Maybe the media wasn't as responsible the previous 3 years as I thought they were. That's where I'm at now. It's not that the media couldn't create this if they wanted to, because they could, but it was clearly evident that Favre started it this year by changing his mind - and that indecisiveness he displayed this year is exactly what I had figured the media was creating the prior 3. Now I'm not so sure.

Ill add some fuel here. A week before SuperBowl XL in Detroit, Chris Mortensen went down to Mississippi to interview Favre about his experience playing in the SUper Bowl for a piece to air later that week on TV. Without prompt or question, Brett turned the conversation about retirement. Let me say that again, BRETT turned the conversation from the SuperBowl to "Retirement". NOt Mort. Mort didn't ask him a single question about that subject until BRETT made it a topic of discussion. Mort is on the record with that claim. This is clear evidence that Brett is partially responsible for the drama of those 3 years because he couldn't shut up.

The funny thing is, 15 years from now there will be a huge group of fans who will know little of Favre, never having seen him play. They will care not one bit if he has a relationship with the Packers or not.

True that.

BREAKING NEWS

This just in:

Aaron Rodgers is NOT contemplating retirement.

You don't know that.

Who cares!

Who cares!

You cared enough to open it, read it, and comment! :P

If we actually stopped thinking like fans for once and tried thinking like he would in his situation, you might see why he wouldn't want anything to do with us.

Ya, if you act like a 10 year old it is understandable. This is big time business. The NFL is what, about $6.5 - $7 billion per year in revenues? The decisions made are business decisions and most of the players understand that. In business you don't always get your way, but holding a grudge is a waste of time, and generally has a bigger negative effect on the individual than on the business.

The funny thing is, 15 years from now there will be a huge group of fans who will know little of Favre, never having seen him play. They will care not one bit if he has a relationship with the Packers or not.

YOu remind me of a situation where a real asshole had something me and a partner needed. My partner hated this guy and really had a grudge with him...didn't want anything to do with him. I paid the money and turned a profit...didn't make sense to me to lose out on some money because the guy was a dick.
