Diggs To Carolina

[FavreChild]

Completely agree, mraynrand.

This has all played out perfectly for TT. He (wisely, I suppose) has put the onus on Favre by not making any overtures toward Favre to demonstrate that they want him back - whether it be picking up impact players or just reassuring him that he is wanted/needed.

Whether TT *should* make these kind of overtures toward Favre...well, that's another debate.

Joe Panos did a live interview on Milwaukee radio yesterday. When asked what thinks Favre will do, Panos said that his source (a former Packer and 8-10 year teammate/friend of Favre) says Favre's PO'd at the Packers and believes they don't really want him back - they just don't have the guts to waive or trade him.  Favre believes they're forcing him to be the decision maker and they've basically ignored his "wishes" for them to pick up impact players (that's pretty apparent by now). Favre definitely wants to play, but in the words of Panos, "He doesn't have the guts right now to ask to be traded."

Yeah, yeah - what does Joe Panos know?

Take it for what it's worth - probably not that much. I just happen to completely agree.

Whether you think Favre has the "right" to feel that way or not - again, that's another debate. Applying the "real-world" employer/employee model, as mraynrand has done, personally, I don't think there's anything wrong with the way Favre feels.

I've already stated before that I don't understand how it's "selfish" to feel that I don't need to make a bunch of personal sacrifices for "the good of the company." Yes, in my life, *I* am more important than the corporation. But maybe that's just me...

The Carolina Panthers added another outside linebacker

Do we even have a second one on our roster?

I wonder what he signed for? If it was much less than he was scheduled to make, I'd have like to keep him - if he'd even sign with us. Remember that he was the one who begged Sherman not to match Detroit's RFA offer.

[Chester Marcol]

Maybe Favre should do a commercial for careerbuilder.com where he is trying to play football with a team of monkeys. Would that be a more subtle hint?

mraynrand,

I guess your name stands for Mr. Ayn Rand. What is that painting in your avatar?

[HarveyWallbangers]

I think Diggs signed for the veteran's minimum, but I'm not sure on that. It was a one year contract, so I'm sure he's looking to prove he can stay healthy.

[Partial]

Packers should have brought him back for veteran minimum and atleast let him compete in training camp.

That is the one thing that chaps my ass about ted thompson. He doesn't bring in cheap players who actually have a chance to produce or atleast push the current players to improve through competition in camp.

Maybe the Packers would've if they could've. Like I said, this is the guy who didn't want the Packers to match an offer to him.

You might be disturbed to learn that Ayn Rand was a woman. Or not.

Not distrubed? Or not a woman?

"You might be disturbed to learn that Ayn Rand was a woman. Or not."

You're joking, right? Howard Roark was the Architect in 'The Fountainhead' The name Mraynrand is a twsit on the way women were typically referred to in Rand's time as, for example, Mrs John Smith. I always hated that.

There are no less than 7 Mrs. Scott Campbells that would beg to differ.

Rand Al' Thor?

[Harlan Huckleby]

I'm suspicious of Ayn Rand. Check that. I'm suspicious of Ayn Rand followers. Check that. I'm suspicious of all followers of all political ideologies. Ayn Rand's principles can't be applied to the real world any more than Karl Marx's. The real world is messy, full of crack addicts who will break into your car if they aren't dealt with, and schemers who know to bilk any system, and lots of illegal immigrants. All kinds of problems where any ideology fails.
