Breaking News on Brett Favre!

But Waldo, what you fail to represent in the stats (and that's why stats lie) is that on every one of those teams the coaching, o-line, and WRs started sucking right at week 12. You have to factor that in to be fair to Brett. Even now, he's still a top 5 QB...

That's a pretty funny immediate response to your post.

Didn't Patler post those number here last season?

It's all about revenge and a bitter man that can't let go. The love affair died and he can't get over it and can't let it go.

Welcome, Captain.

I think it's part revenge. The other part is playing football is more fun than staying home and watching The View with the wife.

Helluva lot more profitable too!

Brett Favre has always said he has no idea what he is going to do after retirement.

He's no dummy, but he doesn't strike me as the intellectual type who is going to read a lot of books out on the porch.

Fishing and hunting are cool, but you got to come home eventually.

He's not a guy to do public speaking.

He probably is going to have a hell of a time figuring out what to do. IF I were him, I would keep playing football. Hell, I'd do Arena league until 55 or so. I'm serious.

It's not as though this information is not Available to anybody who wants it. It's just cool that one of our own is getting props on a major website.

Actually not.

He would make far more siging the packer services contract and doing whatever else he wanted...announcing, endorsements, appearances, etc.

You must have missed Murphy's comments. I don't think he can show and up and sign that right now. I don't think that particular document is laying there on the table for the taking.

The pressing question, no surprise, had to do with Brett Favre and if the reported $20 million, 10-year marketing offer that Green Bay made to the quarterback last year to stay retired remains on the table.

Packers President Mark Murphy was asked that question before he headed to a rally here at Lakefront Park. “At this point, he’s just retired from the Jets and at this point we’re really just going to kind of wait and see how things play out,”

I think you are wrong. And, Murph's comments seem more to indicate my view than yours.

Murph was just saying at that exact time they would wait and see. Why press for him to sign...when we all have seen that brett's word means nothing.

[Rastak]

Well I think you are wrong, as usual.

Listen to Ted Thompson's comment, add Murphy's and he ain't getting shit this year from Green Bay. I'll be more than happy to admit I'm wrong should he stay retired and pick up a free 20 mil for going back to Green Bay while the dude he hates is still running the show. I don't see it happening from either side, but mainly I seriously doubt that offers stands right at this moment.

I think youre correct Ras. I don't think they'll even talk about that offer until they know for sure that he is going to retire or stay retired. Like the old saying goes... "fool me once, shame on you.. fool me twice, shame on me"

TT has nothing to do with it.

Favre will get it when the org knows he is done, otherwise Murph woulda said, "the offer is off the table." Instead Murph said, “Now is not the right time to have those discussions.”

“But in the long run we do want to have a relationship with Brett. We’re going to retire his number. What that relationship looks like, who knows? But kind of like we have with Bart Starr and some of our other great players. We want to have them back and I think he’ll be remembered as a Packer. But, obviously, I think we all need some time to pass before we make those decisions.”

Same as jersey retirement.

“Obviously we will do it,” he said. “We’ve made that commitment. He deserves to have his number retired. I just think both sides need some time. Quite honestly, from a practical standpoint, we’ve had to cancel one retirement ceremony already. I think it’s smart to make sure he is retired rather than going through a situation like that again.”

For all we know, favre/cook may be working the vikes in order to get more money outta the pack. At this stage, with cook and favre..nothing is off the table.

[Fritz]

Offer or no offer, one thing seems certain: Brett Favre is a TT hater. I don't think he can stomach the idea of being part of any kind of retirement ceremony thing that would include Thompson. And Thompson's the GM, so they won't do it without him.

Maybe Favre will change his mind in a few years. Takes about five or six for most divorces, for that bitterness to fade.

I suppose there's room for two Captains in this here forum.

Though perhaps a name change is in order. Might I suggest:

"General Disbelief"?

What if he and I get into an argument and everyone else says stuff like:

"I agree with the Captain. After all the way the Captain attacked him is unacceptable. The Captain can't just do whatever he wants to and get away with it. I think the Captain is going about this the right way, but the Captain is way outta line on this one.

The Captain should apologize."
