Favre asked to be traded

A lot, unless you have given up and are getting highly paid to be a shill for one side or the other.

I don't think Glazer, Silverstein, Wilde or McGinn are in that financial territory yet.

What's a professional reputation worth these days?

You realize, its been hours since Woodbuck posted after asking for the available facts on the Moss trade negotiations.

Not sure if this has been posted. Personally, I think it's been overblown. Just like everything Brett Favre. He has a big month and he's honest. No surprise that he was pissed.

A source close to Favre told the Press-Gazette on Sunday that Favre might have talked about wanting a trade shortly after the draft but has given no such indication recently. Favre finally spoke with coach Mike McCarthy in the last week or so, the first time the two had talked since the draft.

“He wouldn’t be doing these offseason workouts and all that (if he wanted a trade),” the source said. “He’s been busting his (butt). I don’t see him not playing for (the Packers). It wouldn’t surprise me if he told (Cook) or somebody that (he wanted a trade) - he was mad - but he wouldn’t be busting his (butt) like this.”

With that, I'm done talking about it.

That or he couldn't take it anymore....

Sometimes, when I am really pissed off, I will say ridiculous things that I don't really mean.

I've been in sports news limbo for a couple of days and this thread is the first I've heard of the story of Favre's anger, disappointment, and talk of a trade.

I would say there remains a chance that Brett flat out retires.

If he gets to training camp and learns to like his new teammates and sees improvements on D and in the receiving and running corps he'll be back to good ol' Brett again.

However, I am afraid that the media frenzy is gonna wear him out and make him sick of football reporters and negative, speculative reporting before training camp even starts.

And should he retire early I'll put the responsibility square on him, not on the GM trying to build a long-term winner for the fans.
