Favre: the man, the legend. Are we having fun yet?

[Gunakor]

Why the Packer 'O' offered Favre $20 Million to stay retired. The drama is indeed high. As a sports fan its all good or certainly intriguing.

They didn't offer Brett 20 million to stay retired. They offered Brett 20 million so they could make 100 million off his name. Why the hell do you think the offer is still on the table even though Brett isn't retired yet?

What is your source to back up this claim Gunakor?

Don't need one. That's the way business works. Businesses exist to make money. The Packers are no different.

Think about it from a business perspective once. If you can keep selling Favre merchandise after Favre retires and collect money for that merchandise you sell, wouldn't you offer Favre himself a few million dollars so your business could rake in many millions using his name? It's turning 20 million dollars into 100 million dollars or more. That's good business, man.

Besides that, as I said, the offer is still on the table. Obviously, because no matter what Favre does with his career, it would be downright foolish for Murphy to take that offer off the table. That's a helluva lot of money. So why do you think this was a bribe to keep him retired, seeing that he's unretired already - about to be twice - and the offer is still there for him? Obviously it wasn't a bribe to keep him retired, or the offer would have been taken off the table the day he was traded to the Jets...

Might I ask for your source that says that offer was made as a bribe?

Probably because they wanted to continue to sell Favre jerseys while he still had a lot of good will in Wisconsin?

Somehow Favre and #4 in Purple and Wisconsin and Goodwill won't comprise to make the pickle of the year this autumn. . . I'm thinking .

Well, I'm thinking that if #4 ends up wearing purple this year, you'll be able to find a number of green Favre jerseys at Wisconsin area Goodwill stores.

I think a lot fewer then you would like to believe.

Brett Favre playing his 19th year in the NFL would be history in the making. Football fans love this kind of stuff....even if they were never Packer fans. Brett Favre is fun to watch.....and still "has it" as witnessed in the beginning of last season before his injury.

A Favre 'biggest hater' chimes in. MJZiggy? How can anyone be as cold as you? The negative emotion and hatred on this forum amazes me.

An unprovoked personal attack. Unacceptable.

It's going to be more than you are willing to admit. Favre's popularity has plummeted to the point where Packer fans supporting TT on this issue almost overwhelmingly. Doesn't matter if he is fun to watch, or if he "has it". Many people have been turned off by his immature and unprofessional behavior and going to the Vikings is the lsat straw. You want to play for the enemy, fine. Just realize that he will now be the enemy as well. That is the way the majority will see him as regardless of any BS that ESPN spews while they unapologetically fellate Favre.

Whatever "it" is, I sure wish he would have brought it to the Giants game in the NFC championship game.

As long as we're playing the nice job pat each other one the ass I'll play to

I hope he gets that one more super bowl ring that he had little to no chance of getting it here as long as TT had anything to say about it.

This is the single most retarded thing I have ever heard. Actually, its absolute BS. TT job is to build the team to win football games and get it in the Super Bowl. To think that TT doesn't want his team in the SB is stupid.

the timing of the "offer" was awfully shady pal......pack org HAD to know how it would be perceived and one's perception = their reality!

Favre was given the offer the day he "retired". How is that shady? Murphy went down to Mississippi to remind Favre of the offer. I know you have your lips chapped on Favre's ass, but you still need to get your facts straight.
