Mom and Dad Are Getting Back Together Again

[George Cumby]

Not sold just yet. His rhetoric is still a little slippery, although he's getting closer.

Color me cautiously optimistic.

[mraynrand]

BTW, "limbo" is a nice hedge between holding the team "hostage" and "forced" to retire by impatient team. I told you Favre was smarter than the average PR person. Going to be a snap.

[QBME]

Who dat?

[Guiness]

Favre's laying it on thick now. It's starting to feel less like a reconciliation, and more like he's been out of the limelight longer than he wants to be.

Once is a fluke. Twice is a coincidence. If it gets to three I am calling for the retirement ceremony on November 4th, Bears at Lambeau for Monday Night.

Favre takes blame for leaving Packers in 'limbo'

Right on Packer fan.

I read all he said very carefully 2x. All I felt reading it was the sound of 'the honesty bell'. Favre may not have the best PR skills; but for the most part. I found him honest almost, if not to a fault. As a person I came to admire and maintain admiration for. I enjoy Favre for his humanness but he's certainly also very special.

That ceremony need not wait beyond this season and it may. Afterall this is Brett Favre we're talking about. As a Green Bay Packer and for the time he was with the Packer organization. No Green Bay Packer or few to no other NFL player could be held to a level of higher esteem.

If you dispute that?

Come back to me with the name (s) of more NFL QB's ... more NFL players that helped their teams gain more wins in the regular season with one team. This fact cannot be disputed. Brett Favre was the greatest regular season QB of his time in 'the Green and Gold'. Brett Favre is certainly one of the Top Three All Time Green Bay Packers.

If you find fault with what he did in the NFL not as a Green bay Packer. Take that up with Ted Thompson and the Green Bay Packer brass. It cannot be disputed as it finally went down; that Favre was at least being strongly persuaded to remain retired. That obviously wasn't going to be in 2008 after the outstanding way he played in 2007.

Brett Favre had every right to play in 2008 and Ted Thompson made that possible trading Favre to the New York Jets. The fact that Favre came back to defeat the Packers 2x in 2009. Directly stems from TT's trade of him to the New York Jets. Did Favre enjoy those two wins? I believe he had mixed feelings. As the QB of the Minnesota Vikings he had a job to do and he did it well. He demonstrated professionalism. Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers got redemption or pay back in the 2010 season. Some up ... some down. The balance scale of life.

Brett Favre will have his number retired soon. Proudly as a Green Bay Packer; he'll be commemorated into the PACKERS HOF where he most certainly deserves to be.

GO PACK GO !

I believe the Favre relished the two wins over GB in 2009 and enjoyed sticking it to the packers like his chicago statement and giving advice to detroit. I used to enjoy ripping the heads off of grasshoppers when I was a kids. People change and with his statements of part ownership of the problem I think he no longer enjoys attacking the pack and instead wants to come home. I say welcome home and we will never talk of anything from August 2008 on.

It's nice that BF is trying to mend bridges that he pretty much napalmed when leaving town. It's going to take a lot more than a few statements (that I am not sure are sincere or is he just saying it to get his number retired quicker). Time will tell.

I signed up for the possibility of getting tickets to a game this season, and this was my #1 choice. It'll be just my luck to actually get tickets for it and have to turn them down because said ceremony really is scheduled for then!

You'll get triple the value for them if in fact Brett Favre is honoured during that game.

Favre had a very public falling-out with the Packers, every bit of it documented by ESPN and others. Therefore, any reconciliation with the Packers and their fans also has to be public. It can't be done behind closed doors. Public figures have to deal with the public. Favre can't reconcile with the Packers by staying "out of the limelight". Of course, some will criticize Favre no matter what he does, and he'll just have to live with that.

About the article, is there anything Favre said you actually disagree with?

I posted weeks ago that Favre would not need to apologize. I expected him to follow the George Costanza strategy for unquitting a job: show up quietly and pretend you hadn't quit.

I predicted that Favre would run a charm campaign, but I doubted that he would apologize and I doubted that he needed to apologize.

I wish he would stop apologizing and just show up to golf, hand out awards, and kiss babes...I mean babies.

I don't know that this is a new statement. It came from the same USAToday original source and at the end, says some of the same things that were quoted in the original USAToday article. I think this is some sort of outtake that either they didn't see fit to use in the first go-round or just held some stuff back to get more clicks...

[Tony Oday]

Screw Favre. Give Coleman number 4 and let that be the end of Benedict.

I usually enjoy your posts. That being said, is any of this even English?
