As I posted before, I did call John Jones and Bob Harlan.
Bob Harlan called me back this morning on my cell phone. Now before you call my a liar, call Harlan yourself. He WILL call you back. He is very interested in what the fans have to say. I am NO ONE SPECIAL (it hurts to admit :P ) and I am not an insider like Arrigo. Hee hee.
Anyway, I told Harlan how disappointed I was about what Brett said. Harlan told me he was shocked by the report and that Brett was going to release a statement later in the day (which he did) about he status in GB. I asked Harlan what he expected Favre to say. Harlan said "that he doesnt want to be traded."
I told Harlan that TT has not surrounded Brett with the talent on O that he deserves and feel that TT is wasting Brett's last few seasons. Harlan said the offseason is not over yet and they will still add players to the team. Harlan said fans had the same reaction last season and then the Packers got Charles Woodson and the team improved. He also stated that they had a very strong draft in 2006 and the 2007 draft class can't be judged by fans yet.
I then asked Harlan about Randy Moss. Now this part shocked me. Harlan was very open and honest about the situation. Harlan told me he went to bed on Sat. night BELIEVING that Randy Moss was going to be a Packer. Harlan said they (the Packers) found out that Moss was a Patriot when they turned on the TV on Sun. morning. Harlan said Moss' agent (who is NOT Bus Cook) NEVER gave the Packers a call after New England jumped in with the 4th round pick and the new deal for Moss. Harlan said it happens all the time and it is very annoying. Harlan told me he wished Moss' agent would have given the Packers a chance to match New Englands offer. Harlan went on to say that the Packers had a deal to get Moss for a 5th round pick and never offered higher because they didnt know they had to. Thus, they never offered one of their 3rd round picks.
I ended the conversation by saying "Mr. Harlan, I can't imagine the Green Bay Packers with out Brett Favre." Harlan told me "either can I." I then said "Would you ever trade Brett?" Harlan said "absolutely not!"
So there you go. It isnt anything breaking but it is interesting. I understand Harlan is on the way out but he still holds some power up in GB.
If you don't believe me, call him yourself. He'll tell you the same thing.
