Favre speaks video

[packinpatland]

This is buried in another post. 'Favre criticizes Packers' failed attempt at trading for Moss'.
It's worth watching. I agree with Bretsky...... the truth hurts.

I wonder if Favre is completely wrong about what happened with the negotiations? Maybe he is just telling himself lies.

He is really going down the wrong road here....

Thanks for reposting this video. Notice how Brett never once cut on any of the young guys as some people here in the forums would have you believe.

Agree this stuff should not be said; but I don't buy for one second he's lying.
He's always been honest, sometimes painfully and to his own detriment. There is no reason to believe he is lying here. He has plenty of inside info since Bus Cook is the agent of both players.

It is clear one of two things occured

1. TT would not give up a fourth
2. TT would not belly up with the contract to get it done

All of this crap about Moss only restructuring for NE, or Moss going there because it's the only spot he wanted to play, was just pure B.S.

I never thought TT would make this work anyways; oh well, at least we have something to debate on.

I was thinking there would be no new news til the preseason

Well, B, I guarantee you, this should keep us busy for a few weeks, maybe months.

I'm not saying Favre is lying, I'm saying perhaps he has faulty info or a naive belief of what happened. Yes, he's the QB, but you can't tell me he knows every single thing that goes on in the office. He doesn't know what happens on the phones. For him to say what he said is wrong. For him to say what he said, when nobody knows for sure what happened, is wrong. Brett Favre is wrong.

Isn't it nice that we can agree..........to disagree?

In making sense of this, Moss may very well have used Green Bay to secure his exit to NE. It would not surprise me if Al Davis was going to hold out til draft day to find out what he could secure. But it's clear Davis and TT had conversations for a long time and Davis would certainly know what the Snapper would be willing to give up.

I keep going back to the same two things, and they make sense.

Either TT wouldn't belly up the contract or he was holding firm with the 5th round offer. I'd be more fine with it all if the latter was true.

Ted Thompson values his draft picks like a bee and honey. My expectations for TT ever giving up draft picks to secure a player are next to nothing. Other teams will have to meet his terms, and knowing his love for his picks I wouldn't ever hold me breath to get a bold draft pick offer from the turtle.

You know, the video is what it is........Favre doing an interview.....answering questions.

Knowing that, sure would put things abit more in context.
