"Brat" Favre ESPN Article

Harvey, I agree that no leak would have meant no trade me story, but how would the mini-camp story have played?

Do you think Favre would have looked better if the storyline had been "Favre Mad No Moss" followed by "Favre Will Not Attend Manadatory Minicamp"?

If anything, and this is just speculation on my part, I think the mini-camp no show announcement makes it likelier that the "trade me" story came from Favre's camp. He's clearly throwing his weight around.

I understand his concerns, I share them. But unlike earlier years, the reservoir of good will among the media is clearly lower for Favre than it used to be. He is also a 17 year vet and half a generation of writers know Favre more for his struggles than for his incandescent success.

What's funny is that somebody either leaked or made up something about Favre requesting a trade? If that news hadn't come out, this story would be a lot different. It would have been Brett just being frustrated with not getting Moss. Kind of silly. Now, it's this huge story where every national media member feels obligated to blast the NFL's former golden child. I agree that Favre's comments were best left unsaid, but really didn't have a huge problem with it. I often felt that way about comments he's made.

Though the article is pretty rough on him, I'm ok with it. If he doesn't catch grief for this kind of thing, he'll be more inclined to keep doing it.

This article is a moron spewing off about something he read on the Internet like you and me. If he doesnt catch grief he will be inclined to keep doing it too.

Problem is he sucks and is unoriginal.

Truth hurts dosen't it? Can't diss your Lord and Master, Brett Favre, can we?

Lord and master? Hahaha, hardly but he does make football Sundays alot better. I dont just crap on someone who has been good to me cuz some halfwit sportswriter says so.

I happen to agree with everything the "halfwit sportwriter" say. Favre is owed no more than any of his 52 other teammates. The team is called the GREEN BAY Packers, not the Brett Favre Packers. Sadly, Favre has reduced himself to a mirror image of Dan Marino in his last days: a whining, egotistical jerk.

Why not let Brett attend his daughters graduation? This should be no big deal.

Same reason the other 50-70 guys can't decide to head off for a family event during mandatory mini-camp I'm guessing.


Unless you propose a rule for Favre and one for everyone else....that goes over really well in the locker room most of the time.



Moot point anyway, he got the message and will be there.

Seems odd he would use the reason to attend his daughters graduation when it isn't even the same weekend.

Also, why shouldn't Favre expect special treatment. He has had special treatment for some time. And in the past he hasn't always attended mini-camps.

In any case, the friction/media reports is/are not good for the team. But just maybe we need to stir things up a little to get everyone fired up to win some games.

I think the weekend before is the prom and Favre really wanted to go. I guess he arranged the music for the dance on his iPod and wanted to be there to see it all happen.

That's pretty much where I'm at in regards to Favre being ''just human'' and emotional over us not landing Randy Moss especially when he was personally involved in just seeing Moss a Packer.

He should never have gone to '' well just trade me then ''.

There is nonone on this forum more criticle of TT but we are now in the. . .

This is where we're at stage and let's just try to do the best we can with what we have

Maybe 'just maybe' Ted Thompson will see the light yet and give Favre and our 'O' and us more?

Is this all over with? I don't like where it leaves us as Packer fans.

Is there a need for more damage control. I hope that Ted Thompson feels the need to get there. We need more experienced help for our offenseto be competitive in 2007.

I'm now going to look for the thread that guerski started on tuesday.

GO PACKERS !

I'm disturbed that virtually everyone wanted to get Moss.

I believe that was the case as we felt that TT had to do something real for our 'O' and that he was almost out of options.

Would there be a risk in acquiring Moss for one (or two) seasons? I don't see that as long as he remained healthy. Favre would have gotten the ball to him.

The deep threat that he would have provided would have spread the opositions defense as well, and opened it up more for Donald Driver.

We are aware that Greg Jennings welcomed the acqisition of Moss as well. With those three as Favre targets we had some hope if our running game sputters as it has the past two seasons.

Can't you see the potential with those three lining up on the line and allowing Greg Jennings to develop as our slot receiver and under the tutelage of Driver and Moss?

Ted Thompson had to bring all that potential to Green Bay not allow the Pats to swoop Randy Moss away.

I didn't want Moss. He's a dickweed.

Even Brett got played.

People who are trustworthy, like Brett, tend to trust others even when history shows them to be dickweeds.

People who are dickweeds, like Moss, tend to believe that everyone else is a dickweed.

Just my opinion, you stupid dickweeds.

Moss had 8 TD's in 2005 and barely got 1,000/yds receiving and only 3 TD's in 2006, so what has he done lately? I'm not convinced he will be such a star for the Patriots. Will he give up on plays, be unwilling to block, bitch when he doesn't get the ball enough, and only play when he wants to? Maybe he'll be a stud and help them get to the Super Bowl but I'm skeptical, Favre might not agree with it but give me a hard working young talented guy over an old, declining, selfish receiver anyday. So TT didn't get Moss, big deal, over half of his draft picks were offensive players, so instead of bitching about not getting Moss, Favre should get his butt into camp and go to work with what he does have.

I certainly agree with that.

Time to move on till the next time. . .

Re: Favre

Just another stupid writer trying to create controversey in order to get someone to read her useless articles. I never even heard of her before today which pretty much says it all. She must be screwing the editor cause that's about the only way any of her garbage would get published.......

-----------------------------------------------
Packnut, I read her too, just a few minutes ago after my grandson directed me to the ESPN article. (He was irate) I never heard of her or saw her before, not in an article or on ESPN.com, and I gotta agree, it was pitiful. Maybe they had to find a quick replacement for someone else.
