I thought this was just going to be one of those nice, relaxing Mother's Days.
Can someone with no bias one way or the other condense/recap all this for me?

Favre ripped Thompson, then Jay Glazer is now reporting Favre called TT and requested a trade. Don't read this whole thread, it'll screw up your blood preasure.

The majority are ganging up on Brett for his statements regarding TT not getting Moss.

I need a nap. Happy Mother's Day.

Well, now we know!

I don't think what Favre says is necessarily so. He might feel his pride knocked because Randy liked Tom better. It has a little scorned lover feel to it.

That said, I'm not all that upset about Moss anyway. It sounds like his body is falling apart and he hasn't been very productive in a few years.

I don't think it's a majority. Off the cuff, I'd say the sentiment seems pretty evenly split.

Your side seems to be ganging up on Ted for making Brett ornery enough to vent to the media.

So in your job or career you have never had to lobby for yourself?

I've never gone to the press to put pressure on my employer for anything. And I never will.

I only did once, but that was to blow the whistle on Phillip Morris and their horrible business practices...but FYI I was very poorly portrayed in the movie the Insider (although I do look much like Russell Crowe).

But nothing as important as what Favre is doing here.

[Patler]

Not one single person has stepped up to address how little Thompson has done to improve our offense. 3 years of nothing. But rather than come up with any kind of plausible argument as to why our offense is nothing more than a shell of what it was when Thompson took over, you want to bash Favre for telling the truth and speaking the obvious.

Does my post a couple days ago explaining that TT has invested more first day draft picks on the offense than on the defense not qualify? And that he signed 2 FAs that were former 1st round draft picks.

He drafted a QB in the first round
He signed 2 WRs that were former 1st picks.
He drafted 2 WRs in the second round.
He drafted 1 RB in the second round.
He drafted 1 WR in the third round
He traded for a RB drafted in the third round.
He drafted 1 WR in the 4th round.
He drafted 1 WR in the 5th round.
He drafted 1 RB in the 7th round.
He drafted 1 TE in the 7th round.

Now should we list the O-linemen?

Certainly, but there are limits to what an employee can do.

If you make the work environment hostile or toxic, you can expect to be tossed aside without needing to ask.

And there is no correlation between that and publicly questioning your role in the paper.

I agree on this point, about health care, education and a whole raft of services.

However, you and I pay for those services. Favre is getting paid by the people he is making demands of. The situation is reversed in his case.

So in your job or career you have never had to lobby for yourself? Any time you put forth effort to move ahead you lobbying for yourself. Favre is trying to move ahead.....AKA winning record/championships.

Please; this had nothing to do with Moss liking anybody. Al Davis got a better offer from the Patriots and TT was not willing to give up a fourth rounder.........maybe the right call and maybe not.........who knows.

Favre really shouldn't have spoken up. Serves no purpose criticizing a GM, even if he was right.

I have no idea why the Plan of Ted Thompson would have ever included Favre in the first place

I think this is relative in this conversation because some in here would have you believe that Thompson is probably responsible for nicotine additives in their smokes.

Bretsky, to be fair to TT, how do you plan for the future of an organization where annually he's still trying to decide whether to retire or not. And for TT bashers, this was an issue prior to TT becoming GM.

To be fair to Favre though, is it really that much to ask of TT to give up one of the almost dozen "precious" draft choices to take a flyer on a prior All Pro wide receiver who may give the offense the injection of life they so badly need?

Both parties are at fault. Ultimately though one is paid to be a general manager and another is paid to play.

Stop it Brestsky, you're making too much sense.

'MY SIDE'?
I'm not a TT fan, I have been critical (not often) on occasion of Favre.

This whole things just seems too bizzare to ring of real truth.
